We are pleased to announce the recipients of our second annual scholarships! We are awarding a $1000 scholarship each to Jace Goodwin of Northridge High School and Betsy Holmgren of Bountiful High School. Through your efforts and participation in our golf tournament in 2012, we are able to provide these scholarships. We’d like to tell you a little about each of our recipients.
Jace Goodwin will be attending Utah State University in the Fall, studying art/advertising. He has served as Senior Class Executive Vice President, was a lead in the school musical, Les’ Misrable, the head artist for the sidewalk chalk competition, was a member of choir, theatre and art clubs at Northridge High School. Jace wrote an essay about three people who reached out to him and changed his life. He said, “they are each just one person, not an organization, not anyone famous, just small people.” Because of their example, he took it upon himself to reach out using the Power of One to get to know all of his classmates in his LDS Seminary class. Jace noted that it has taken some time, but everyone in that class is now taking the time to reach out to one another and to others in their own sphere of influence. As we reviewed the applicants from Northridge High School, we felt that Jace has learned the importance of the Power of One and has shown how to implement Steve’s motto with others. Congratulations Jace!
Betsy Holmgren will be attending Utah Valley University in the Fall. She plans to study business and marketing. She would love to have a career in advertising/marketing so she can blend both business and her creative side. Betsy participated in Cheerleading where she served as co-captain, participated in gymnastics for seven years, was a member of the choir at Bountiful High and was on the Honor Roll for grades and citizenship. Betsy’s essay spoke about how the Power of One can have a “ripple effect and will inspire others to do good for others. If you think about all the great things that happened in the world, it started with one person. Our actions don’t have to be huge to make an impact. A times we may even be unaware of how our actions influence someone.” This is how Steve lived his life. We found out after his death the influence and the “ripple effect” he had on the lives of others. Betsy wrote about how the student body at Bountiful High School has come together to support each other and how it started with one person. Many students will graduate with their memories of high school, but hopefully they will remember how they influenced and supported one another for good and will pass the Power of One theme along to others. Congratulations Betsy for being the 2013 Bountiful High Scholarship recipient!
We would like to continue to award scholarships to deserving students who exemplify the Power of One! In order to do this, we need your support at our Third Annual Golf Tournament scheduled for June 21st at Bountiful Ridge Golf Course. We are still looking for players and sponsors! Attached is information regarding this year’s tournament. We hope you will join us on the 21st.
