 Hi, my name is Stephanie Nawa. I'm making this video to send my thanks for being chosen as a recipient for the Special Session Scholarship for new students. I am currently enrolled at San Jose State University with the School of Information for the Special Session of Spring 2023. I am pursuing a degree in a Master's of Library and Information Science, and I'm very eager to get started. I first want to thank the school for even having the option of doing a special session. There aren't very many out there that I could find that do offer this opportunity, so just having the special session alone is really awesome. And the fact that you offer a special scholarship for it is also awesome, and I couldn't be happier or more appreciative of being selected as a recipient for the Special Session Scholarship for new students. I currently work for a public library district in Las Vegas, and I've been working with them since 2015. So I'm really excited to get educated and to help my career, and by helping my career it means that I can help more people, I can help people quicker, more efficiently. And my main goal is just to make a positive change, to make a positive impact on people's lives, who go to libraries for help. And I want to be that person, and I strongly believe that this degree is going to help me with that. And getting this scholarship is just a step in the right direction, and it gives me confidence that I'll be able to achieve my goals. Thank you again for making me a recipient of the Special Sessions Scholarship for new students. I appreciate it.
