I would first like to start by thanking the donors and Mt.SAC for this award. I’m very grateful that I was chosen for this award. I’m currently in my third year at Mt.SAC and my family originated from the Philippines. My future goals and aspirations are to hopefully work in the film industry and become successful. What interested me in film is the storytelling that can be done using a camera and how these movies are made. I grew up watching a lot of movies and shows with my family, so it was always a part of my life. This scholarship has inspired me to encourage others to follow their dreams and not let outside noise affect them in reaching their goals and aspirations. I plan on giving back to the community by volunteering to help others live out their lives and make them feel better about themselves.
