One Student카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Journey From Heartbreak To Graduation

Two life-changing events happened during Melanie Gray카지노 게임 컬렉션�s time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. Her mother died of cancer which meant she became the legal guardian to her two younger brothers, and she received a major bursary which allowed her to stay at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s despite her family카지노 게임 컬렉션�s financial hardships.

Without that funding, the Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�16 graduate would likely not have been able to walk across the convocation stage in Grant Hall on June 7.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It was a life-changing moment when I received the . I will be forever grateful to the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s alumni family that was there to support me as I struggled to take care of my own family,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Melanie.

She is one of many students who benefited from the Initiative Campaign. The 10-year fundraising campaign at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s recently wrapped up on April 30, 2016, totalling more than $640 million in donations to the 카지노게임사이트, including $85 million in support of scholarships and bursaries.

The Art History student카지노 게임 컬렉션�s first few years at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s were divided between going to class and taking her mother, Lauren, to chemotherapy at Kingston General Hospital. Lauren believed in the value of education and was proud her daughter was attending Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Education was always her number-one priority. She grew up on a reserve in poverty and never graduated from high school. She wanted all her children to get a degree and kept telling us not to worry and focus on school,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Melanie.

Lauren카지노 게임 컬렉션�s long battle with cancer ended on March 18, 2014 when she passed away a few days before Melanie카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 21^st birthday. Melanie tried to keep herself busy to help cope with the grief. She co-founded a well-being circle for Indigenous students at the Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre and was president of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Native Student Association.

The hardships continued as financial stress replaced her mother카지노 게임 컬렉션�s health issues. The family home was in need of urgent repairs, and she could barely provide her family카지노 게임 컬렉션�s basic needs. Life was 카지노 게임 컬렉션�one step forward and ten steps back.카지노 게임 컬렉션� The stress was overwhelming as Melanie considered dropping out of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s to find a job.

Fortunately, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s community offered support. She received guidance and financial aid from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Financial Assistance, Ban Righ Centre, and the Chaplain카지노 게임 컬렉션�s office. It was the Anne Shaw Hudson Bursary that gave her the freedom to focus on her education and not worry about paying bills. As a result, she was able to find her passion for learning and her grades went up dramatically.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I truly hope people understand how much their donations to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s can change a student카지노 게임 컬렉션�s life.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
