 Hi, my name is Rita Gonzalez and I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Hirsch, Dr. Stenstrom, the whole Scholarship Committee and the entire School of Information Scholarship for Incoming Students. My lifelong dream of attending Graduate School of Information Science is moving forward thanks to generous education scholarships like yours. Since being named one of the recipients of the special session scholarship, my dream is becoming a reality at San Jose State University. The award gives me an opportunity to earn schools that will serve the community following graduation. Thank you personally for your generosity. Without Scholarship patrons willing to support library education, students such as myself would be unable to pursue a library degree. Once again, thank you so much for choosing me. I am committed to my education and I am once again closer to becoming a librarian. Thanks to you.
