I got the scholarship!!! I am so extremely excited to announce that I recieved a scholarship that will send me to the NCCWSL conference (National Conference for College Women Student Leaders). The conference is in Washington D.C. during June 2-4. I am flying out there on the 1st a day early so that I can have time to figure out the city. It will be my first time going to D.C. and it will be my first trip by myself, so it will be an adventure!! Don't worry, I'll take my knife ;) I was very shocked to get this scholarship. I had applied for it at the beginning of March and the winner would be announced at the end of March. I recieved an email at the end of March saying that they were unable to give me a scholarship at this time. So I thought nothing of it. I was still planning on going anyway, with or without the scholarship. My grandma really wanted me to go. On the 14th I decided to check my email because I hadn't checked it in a few days (which is routine, I only check it every 3-4 days). And BAM! first email there was one saying Congratulations! You have been rewarded with a scholarship to attend the conference! It also said I had to respond by the 15th at midnight with confirmation of my travel plans or they would give the scholarship to someone else. Talk about lucky! I am so so so so lucky and blessed to have recieved this scholarship. I'm excited for all of the young women and wonderful people I will get to meet! I'm also excited for the adventure I will have navigating myself around D.C.!!!
*peace out girl scout*
