Hixson Award

Through all the schoarship I recieved last year, the Hixson Scholarship has meant the most to me.  It has and still is allowing me to focus on my school work reather than having a job and trying to pay for my tuition, thus taking time from my class work.  It is also benificial being a Hixson Scholar as they are there to help you get through college by offering one free tutor per a semester, a lab only for Hixson Scholars, and free printing.  It was also a deciding factor on weather or not I attended a four year college or a community college.  The Hixson award is also one of great honnor as only 100 Iowa senior recieve this award each year.  To be one of the 100 from 2011 is very special knowing that there were others that had also applied but didn't recive it.  I am also glad that I recived this award because of the friendships that I have made this far with other Hixson Scholars.  I'm sure these will be life long friendship that I would not of had without reciving this award.
