Well...IT HAPPENED!!! I GOT THE GILMAN SCHOLARSHIP!!!! This morning I woke up to a couple of emails as usual and amongst them was a congratulatory email about my scholarship application being accepted! WOW, what a feeling, totally overwhelmed and overjoyed, some one read MY essay and thought I was deserving. I immediately contacted my fellowship advisor from my college and was asked to do a short bio for the college announcement screens around the campus. A couple of days ago i was formally accepted into the study abroad program, so this week is really making this dream a reality. Now to get all the paperwork complete for both the scholarship acceptance and the study abroad.
I'm goin to CHINA baby!
