2025 facs Student Speaker
Hailey P., East Catholic High School
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunities given to me by this donation. East Catholic High School is a wonderful college preparatory school that has enabled me to show my love for learning. The day I walked in I instantly knew how life changing this school was going to be for me. The learning environment created here has made it so I can participate in any activities I want with the constant support of my peers. In my old school I had trouble with participating in after school activities and sports because of the people around me. In no way did I feel comfortable in putting myself out there to try new things or even express my feelings of excitement in certain activities. Every time I tried to get involved, I was shut down, but East Catholic is entirely the opposite. The opportunity to meet others who want to pursue a career similar to mine has been an inspiring experience I wouldn't have been able to have without this scholarship. All of these new experiences have really changed how I see school as a whole and I no longer have to worry about being cast out just because I am fond of learning and being part of something. I plan to make the most out of these opportunities and I will strive to work my hardest every day. I want you to know that because of this generous investment into my education, my life has been set on the path I have always wanted.
