Right C3 Awards Announces Tanya Madison Morrison Essay Scholarship Winner
LAS VEGAS, September 1, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Right C3 is proud to announce that Kimberly Cortes is our winner of the Tanya Madison Morrison Essay Scholarship Contest. The contest is in honor of Tanya Madison Morrison, one of our enrollment counselors. She was a well-known and admired member of our company. Tanya lost her battle with cancer, but in the midst of her battle, she filled us with a rare positivity, hope and faith that will remain her gift to so many of us. In honor of Tanya, we asked students to submit an essay giving an example of a time they mentored, inspired, or otherwise encouraged someone to reach a goal, pursue a dream, or push through a difficult time.
Kimberly's essay proved to be both well-written and inspirational. For the past five years, Kimberly has been traveling across the U.S.-Mexican border every day after school to teach impoverished children how to play music. As Kimberly puts it, "Mexicali is a degrading place due to the fact that there is a lot of crime, homelessness, and kids as young as three- years-old begging for their daily bread and selling gum in the streets instead of being in school getting an education." What started as simply performing for children in hospitals and orphanages developed into a street-side mentorship of young children who'd otherwise have little hope for the future. In the past few years, her efforts have been recognized by the city governor. Her students have even gone on to play at the local Culture House, where they've been able to earn scholarships for their dedication.
Kimberly really appreciated the services provided by RightC3 to make her college dreams a reality. "From calling coaches at night to the online tutoring, you guys were always there." She hopes that her story can inspire other aspiring college students. Her advice is to "do your passion, and don't get discouraged if it is not trendy. If you have a passion, then you can make a change."
