 Good evening everyone. My name is Maria Watts and I'm from Nicolay area technical college. I graduated last year from Alco high school. I Decided to go to Nicolay because I was battling some health issues my senior year Which would be going on for three years and I decided that I wasn't quite ready to go to a four-year University right away So I decided to stay at home and still my support system, which is my family and friends and by going to Nicolay I still got small class sizes, which is how I learned best and Nicolay has provided so many opportunities for me I'm a very active person and our physical fitness teacher Gave me the opportunity to have an internship at her gym And I've been really enjoying myself and knowing that that's what I want to do and right now I am in the university transfer program at Nicolay and I'll be transferring to UW lacrosse in the fall of 2013 to become a recreational therapist and my goal is to work at a rehabilitation center To help others realize that imperfection is really perfection just because you have a problem. Everybody has a problem, but these people are Willing to get the help that they need so I want to thank everyone here tonight and RW bar for the scholarship and For sponsoring this wonderful event and all the people at Nicolay. Thank you
