Wow, can't believe it's been a month since my last post. How time flies!! I've been busy with my dissertation which is coming along nicely. I have the grades to graduate with distinction (essentially there's distinction and regular MSc) but now my paper must be as good in order to graduate with that elusive yet distinguished degree. I'm working hard on it!!
The rest of my time was spent planning the Ambassadorial Scholar dinner event to raise money for Maggie's Cancer Care Centre. All nine of us combined our talents and efforts to put on this dinner which was attended by over 80 guests including the District Governor (he's the one in the middle of the picture). All in all, we raised about 2,000 GBP, which will also go towards our part of the matching grant. (I'm so proud of this grant because I helped to write it, and it got approved!!) This wonderful charity will receive over $15,000!! I am so glad to be a part of this project. It was a lot of hard work, but was well worth the effort. I hope I have made a difference with my efforts.
I have seen firsthand how Rotary can make such a positive difference. I will hopefully have the pleasure of becoming a Rotarian someday, so that I can continue to make a difference. This scholarship year has changed my life in so many ways and cemented a permanent relationship with Rotary. I hope to make a difference in someone's life as Rotary has in mine. Until next time...
