Dear Howard Payne University Woman's Club,
I would like to express my gratitude for being selected to apply for the 2018 Yellow Rose Scholarship.

Last summer, I had the opportunity to be a camp counselor at Camp Eagle for majority 6-8 year-old-girls. Since then, God has shown in me a love for children and an underlying passion to help guide them spiritually and teach them that although books are daunting, anyone can read and feel welcome in a library. I believe by showing kids Christ, love, and pleasure for books, we will have a stronger
