Here is another thank you from a Rotary Dollars for Scholars winner.
Hi Rotary Club! Thank you so much for choosing me for your scholarship! I am incredibly grateful for your support! I plan to attend Central College in pursuit of a degree in Elementary Education I. However, this fall I have decided to go on a nine-month gap year mission trip across the world serving and helping others. I will be going to Swaziland, Ethiopia, Cambodia, and South Africa in those nine months. I am so excited to be able to help in other nations and connect with the people I meet. When I get back, I plan to pursue my education at Central in hopes of working with young students in my career. Ever since our family adopted my little brother from Ethiopia, Africa, I have found tremendous joy in spending time with him. This encouraged me to get involved in other opportunities working with kids, and I have enjoyed every minute of them. I love to be able to support young students as they grow in their knowledge and to be a positive role model. Your donation is much appreciated in pursuing this passion and I thank you again for your generous support!
Sincerely, Samson, Densmore (Son of Ankeny Rotarian Mark Densmore)
