I enjoyed meeting new friends and playing in tournaments with my sister and brother. I am excited to be able to use this scholarship towards my tuition at Acadia University as I begin my studies in community development next fall. I would like to thank the MJT selection committee and the Herrendorf Family Foundation for selecting me as a recipient of this award."
