A Message from Mandy Crooks recipient of our $1000 Scholarship Award 2019, 2020 & 2021
While this year is looking much different than the last, and many things can not be in person right now, I still wanted to find a way to express my gratitude to the Texas Democratic Women of Rural North Texas. The scholarship I was awarded has done tremendous amounts for me this year. The stress of many things have been heightened due to the current epidemic, but this scholarship allowed me to have that much less on my plate to worry about.
Despite how different college life is in what the world is looking like today, I am able to enjoy life just as much as before. I have been able to become involved on campus in an organization known as the North Texas Sweethearts. We strive for community involvement, academic achievement, and growing friendships among ourselves. I have moved into an apartment with some of my best friends, and living with them has been nothing short of fantastic. I have also managed to maintain my GPA of a 4.0 this far into the semester.
I just wanted to take this moment to tell how well college life is going for me and express my gratitude to those that have made it that much more possible for me to be here. I appreciate everything this organization has done for me and others!
