CSF Student Thank You Letters
June 3rd, 2022
We've received reports from our CSF schools detailing many of the incredible university our now-alumni Scholars will be attending in the Fall.
JEREDIAH
My name is Jerediah and I am currently sixteen years old enrolled at Central Catholic High School as a junior. Every year I have had the opportunity to thank the donors and this is a letter that I have a pleasure in writing. Because of your beautiful hearts, so generous and kind, I can succeed in my high school career, not only as a Central Catholic student, but as a CSF Scholar.
At Central I have been given many opportunities in countless aspects. One achievement that I am particularly proud of is the medal I received my sophomore year in my religious studies. Last year was a most difficult year, as we all know, and the only way we are ever going to get through this pandemic is our Lord, our God.Receiving that medal was a sign to me, from him,that he is always watching and has my back.
If I am being completely honest, I have always dreamed of being a surgeon (specifically in the field of cardio thoracic surgery). I am working diligently to achieve this goal but such big dreams seem so far away. Because of this, I have settled for the idea of becoming a nurse as my mother is.My biggest dream of all is to help people in any way I medically can. Through either profession I will be able to achieve this goal.
All in all, I would like to close this letter by reiterating my gratitude for your donations and contribution to my scholarship that allows me to attend such an amazing school at Central Catholic. I hope you and your family are staying safe during these times.
Sincerely,
Jerediah
