This year I have served the Roseburg ASTRA Club as President, and it has definitely helped in multiple aspects. This position challenged me to use and develop characteristics of leadership such as dedication, responsibility, communication, passion, accepting criticism, time management, and more. While in this position I have also been granted to opportunity to inspire other students to give back and be involved in our wonderful community. Next year, I plan to study biology with a focus on Veterinary Medicine while also competing on the gymnastics team. I feel very grateful and blessed to be a recipient of this scholarship! – Malia
