“I'd like to formally thank you for the scholarship reward I  received. Given my financial situation, without it I might not have been able to attend SuperCamp. To ensure you that the money was well spent, I will share with you my increased knowledge of strategies and overall skills that I gained from SuperCamp.

Before those ten days at San Marcos SuperCamp, I was scared. Scared of failure, and unsure whether to pursue my subjects of interest. Contributing to my intimidation of trying new things was being afraid of looking like a fool. However, my eyes were opened at camp. Because "Failure leads to Success"! If I fail, it's no big deal, that is the best way to learn how to do something. I will continue to emphasize this metaphor: Life is like a maze. It may take a few beeps and buzz's, but once you get there, success will come.”
