About

I am honored to be one of the recipients of the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society. Thanks to your generous support, now one of my lifelong dreams in obtaining a B.A. The degree is being fulfilled. Since being named one of the recipients of The Catholic University of America Sheehy Scholarship Award, has made my dreams now become a reality. The Catholic University of America which I totally enjoy and am honored to be a student at this university. To be recognized and acknowledged to this Honor Society only makes this journey more awesome and amazing. I have made the Metropolitan School of Professional Studies Deans List in Spring 2019, Fall 2019, and Fall 2020 with a 3.77 Term GPA and 3.57 Cum GPA.
Working as a volunteer in my community throughout my high school and college years, I have enjoyed helping people learn about community services available to them. I hope to be able to serve in an Information Technology position at The Catholic University of America sometime soon, where I might have even more of an ability to help less fortunate and under-represented social groups. My educational pursuits would not be possible without the generous support from The Catholic University of America scholarship sponsors like your organization. The Catholic University of America University offers one of the finest programs in the country and I consider myself fortunate to be able to attend.
