It's truly remarkable

by Meghan Deagle

Everybody has those days that they’ll never forget—days that change them forever.

The day I heard the news that I was the first recipient of the Fernandez Earle scholarship and would be spending the next four years of my life in Hawaii to attend university was definitely one of those days. I was ecstatic to say the least.

Even today, three-and-a-half years later, the excitement has not worn off. The experience has been phenomenal. The things I’ve learned, the places I’ve been to and the people I’ve met, because of the privilege I was awarded, have all been astonishing. It’s something I’ll never forget.

With graduation only a year away and that diploma nearly in reach, the pressure to figure out where I’ll go after school is building, but I’m not too worried yet. For a girl who wasn’t planning on going to college at all until this foundation came along, having a little faith that things will turn out isn’t that hard.

At present I’m leaving all doors open, though researching humpback whales does sound a little more appealing to me than studying some microscopic oceanic worm! Perhaps over this next year I’ll begin to focus my sights a little more, but for now I don’t mind being a little hazy. No matter where my future will take me, I know my path has been forever altered by the Fernandez Earle Scholarship Foundation. The opportunity this foundation has presented not only to me, but to all the others that have been and are yet to be affected by it, is truly remarkable.
