In 2015 I had several admissions to hospital due to repeated Sickle Cell Crisis, but I was able to maintain a B+ average throughout the school year. I am determined to work very hard to achieve a good career..The Dotty Nicholas Sickle Cell Scholarship is very important to me , because it helps to relieve some of the financial burden associated with my career,
I am certainly looking forward to attend college without having to work extra jobs to finance my college education.
