I am a 2018 Golden Apple Scholar. I received the award during my freshman year of college. I was blessed to have been accepted into the program. After attending my first Summer Institute after my induction in 2018, I was so excited to be in a classroom and teach students. I have had such a phenomenal experience with Golden Apple thus far. I am excited to be a Golden Apple Scholar for life!
