April 7th! I got the scholarship*!

It’s Monday morning. I was so reluctant to wake up for Morning Sharing, but I made it. And when I checked my UMich email, I was so shocked! So surprised! So happy!I got an email from my academic advisor, Dr Montgomery with the title "UG Scholarships* - Congratulations, Huey Shann". I know it must be a good news! =) And yes, it is! In the email, Dr Montgomery said "Prof. Savage and I are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive one of the Patterson Scholarships*, awarded to "exceptional and worthy" students"!

The first thing I did was, woke my roommate(S.Ling) up and told her my good news! And then I called my father. They(daddy, mummy and meimei) are now in the airport, going back to KB after my dear sister’s interview at UCSi. Congratulations to my dear sister for getting Sin Chew’s Scholarship as well! Good job, sister!! =)

It’s not the amount of the scholarship* that matters. I applied for this scholarship really last minute. And I didn’t expect to get it! I’m really surprised! The scholarship* is another thing to cheer my mummy and daddy and also grandpa! =) At least, I have something to make them happy. This is the most important part of getting this scholarship*. And I remembered what I wrote in the ‘Personal Statement’ - this is for my beloved grandma! I made it, I really made it!

*To avoid any unnecessary issue about the scholarship, it’s an award kind of "scholarship" and not the financial aid type.
