Fry Family Foundation Undergraduate Leadership Award, 2018
Fry Family Foundation Undergraduate Leadership Award, 2018
Finishing my undergraduate degree at Memorial University was an incredibly bittersweet moment.
I was excited to explore the next chapter in my life, to pursue graduate studies, and to adventure beyond Newfoundland. I was also incredibly worried about leaping into this new chapter in my life and falling short of my own expectations.
The Fry Family Foundation recognized and awarded all of the things that motivated me: drive, leadership, passion, empathy, and dedication. When I received this award, I was reminded of my potential, and my eagerness to apply this potential to my future career path was solidified.
This award gave me a gusto and motivation that I still feel today, in the third year of my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. It has uplifted me in ways that I am extremely thankful and grateful for. I continue to be impressed by the legacy of this foundation, and the increasing number of young leaders that are propelled forward by this award.
I commend and celebrate this legacy of 25 years, and look forward to the future of the Foundation’s impact at Memorial University.
