Change the World

I Want to Change the World for Children
I want to work with kids who have been abused or neglected. Children are the most vulnerable population, especially those who have already been hurt.
Why I'm Here
Other schools focus on one method or concentration, whereas this school covers everything. At U-M, I'm learning how all levels of the profession are connected.
Impact of the Scholarship
The U-M School of Social Work would not have been in my range, if not for the Mary DeLue Romano Scholarship. I never, ever take my education for granted, because other members of my family have not had the opportunities I have. I am so grateful for what this school has given me. The scholarship takes a weight off my shoulders.
