My name is Melissa Medina and I am a third year student at the University of California, Berkeley. Currently, I am pursuing a simultaneous degree in business administration and political science because my two passions reside in business and law.
I was recently admitted into Haas Business School and heard about the Give Something Back Scholarship. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to pursue my passion to give back while relieving my financial burden.
To me the Give Something Back Scholarship relieves my financial tension and allows more time to focus on my ambition and passion to volunteer. Now I am able to spend more time concentrating on academics and philanthropic organizations. In addition, it will provide early experience, which later converts into an investment in future possibilities.
I am thankful for and highly admire Give Something Back's Scholarship and I hope they continue to invest in this scholarship for future years to come. I am also thankful for the people I met during the process. The GSB Staff members were genuine and welcoming. Likewise the other nominees were friendly (one of them in currently in a class I am taking).
All in all, thank you again GSB for this opportunity. If any of you are interested, make sure to check out the website: http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/responsiblebusiness/GiveSomethingBackScholarship.htm
GO BEARS!
