Being chosen to receive the Hixson award was such an honor. By receiving this scholarship my worries about being able to pay for college were greatly decreased. When I received this scholarship I was surprised. I knew that there were probably a lot of other people applying for it so I did not think I would receive it. It made my transition into college a lot easier because I did not have to worry as much about how I would be paying for it.
Receiving the Hixson award also means that I will not have to worry about my future as much. I am planning on going to medical school so I thought that I was going to be in a lot of debt. Now that I have most of my college education paid for I am not as worried. I will still have a lot of debt from medical school, but it will not be nearly as bad as it could have been. I am honored to call myself a 2011 Hixson Scholar.
