"[My teacher] told us about Boston Scholars and how they were giving scholarship money away... When they read my name, I was dumbfounded with this huge smile on my face... and I thought I was going to cry. I am very thankful for Boston Scholars and am going to do my best in high school. When I told my parents, my mother yelled, 'Thank you Lord' and gave my brother and I a hug."
