Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to BYGA and those who help sponsor the scholarship recipients. I would like to thank you all for your support and for helping me successfully complete my first year of graduate school. Not only was it a challenge for me academically, but it was also a test of my faith. Now that the transition phase is over I know what is expected of me and I will go into the second semester with greater determination. Thank you for your financial gifts and enjoy this time with family and friends.
