 Hello student award and scholarship committee. My name is Arselia Aguirre. I would like to personally thank you for choosing me to receive this special session scholarship award. Personally, I didn't think that I would actually receive anything other than to try and to apply for the scholarship. Upon receiving this award, I began to think about what I should say to the committee. Truthfully, I'm actually speechless to this very day. However, what comes to mind is knowing that my dream is finally becoming a reality. I want to work in a place that feels comfortably similar to my university library. When I go to school every day as a student and as a student worker, I feel comfortable studying without discrimination and prejudice. I feel safe when I talk to a librarian about my class assignments. What I feel every day when I go to school is what I want the children and the community to feel whenever they go to their public and school library. And although I don't have much experience in working with the youth or even with the public community, I know that everything will be okay because I know that you guys are there to support me and helping me along the way. So thank you again for the opportunity to be rewarded for the special session award and have a good day.
