 Hello everybody, my name is James Carpenter and I'm currently in my second year in the Master of Archive and Records Administration program at San Jose State University School of Information. This video is to express my sincerest gratitude of being chosen as one of the recipients for the 2017 Arma International Golden Gate Scholarship. I am so thankful and so grateful for this wonderful opportunity to receive this scholarship. It serves as both motivation and encouragement as I continue to pursue my master's degree and obtain a CRM designation. As my first scholarship in my academic career, it has provided me with a tremendous opportunity to grow, learn and advance in the records management profession. I want to thank San Jose State University, the MARA program, Arma International, the Scholarship Committee, Arlette Wall and my fellow students and professors who have shown me continued encouragement and support from the beginning. Once again, thank you so much for choosing me for this scholarship. It is truly an honor and I really appreciate it.
