You Make It All Worthwhile

Graduating 8th Grader - Scholarship Program Graduate
Dear Ms. Heucke,
Before the boarding school applications, before the programs applications, before it all, you have been with me. Ever since fourth grade, you have been a source of knowledge, a source of support, a source of encouragement, and recently, a source of life-changing opportunities. You have always been one of the few people to whom I could freely talk to and on whom I could always rely. You introduced me to the programs and encouraged me to apply to them. You served not only as a teacher but as a personal advisor during the application process during which you edited my writings, helped me upload required documents and manage the entire application. After that during the boarding school applications you continued to diligently aid me by sending required transcripts, editing essays, among many other things. Even now, you continue to encourage me to apply to other schools as backup. All of these show how much you care and I am so thankful for your presence in my life.

Dear Ms. Heucke
I would really like to express my thanks and gratitude for all the assistance and guidance you have given me as a Discovery Charter School student. You have always been there when I needed help with applications, testing, and many other things. Without the documents and recommendation you sent in and completed for me I will not be able to get accepted into the school I have always wanted to attend. I really want to express my gratitude through this note because you have taken so much time to assist me.

Dear Ms. Heucke,
You have been a part of my journey since day one. You are the one who introduced me to the Wight Foundation and pushed me to apply. You saw my potential and inspired me to become better in my academic life. I would not have applied to any programs if it were not for you. I appreciate you checking on me and asking how Wight Foundation is going.
