Harriet Beecher Stowe once observed, “The Bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” My desire to live a purposeful life, filled with service has led me to the MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) profession. Receiving a Minerva Scholarship has been an unexpected blessing which assists me to be able to look forward with gladness to the day I am able to serve in my chosen career.
