This post is long overdue, but I wanted it to be just right. I knew for a while that I wanted to go on an Earthwatch expedition. Then Recently, I was e-mailed by the Education Foundation concerning available grant money. I filled out my first grant application with the assistance and experience of Dr. Coleman, who had been wanting this for me since she gave me my first Earthwatch catalog. The purpose of this post is to thank the Education Foundation of Collier County and the donor of the funds publicly. I will not post the donors name at this time since I am waiting for permission.
Those of you who have worked with the Education Foundation or other organizations that fund educational persuits know exactly what I am feeling. Its incredible to me that others are so giving. a Thank You card somehow doesn’t seem enough to express the gratitude. The best I can do is pass on everything I do and learn through this experience to every person I can reach.
It would be less than truthful if I do not also admit that this is a wonderful personal opportunity for me. It is something I would not have otherwise been able to do. I will grow professionally and personally from this research project.
Thank you Education Foundation, the donor of the funds, everyone at Lorenzo Walker Technical High School who is supporting me, and all of my online followers.
