First, I am indebted to my scholarship committee members Barbra Pierce, Bob Pierce, Emily Pennington, and Lucas Cassi for their hard work and diligence to this point. It is a joy to work with them and as you might expect, our task was not an easy one. After reviewing all of the submitted applications, the following three excellent students were selected.

> "'Steve Jobs once said: You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.' Steve Jobs had to trust that somehow, someway, his dots would connect. How I deal with blindness can be explained in two words: dots and trust'"

> Lillie Pennington will be attending Northern Kentucky University next year and majoring in Social Work. As a teaser, here is a paragraph from the letter recommendation for Ms. Pennington from Anil Lewis:
> "In my opinion, Lillie works best alone, and requires little supervision. Her strength is research and when given a task, she performs best when she has the opportunity to investigate the various parameters in order to gain an enhanced understanding of the project. Lillie also works well in a group, and she generally serves as the anchor of the group. Her reasoned approach toward a task helps to balance those that may attempt a riskier solution"

> Undoubtedly, you will be hearing more about these excellent students and I know you join me in congratulating them and conveying to them how excited we are to have them be a part of our state convention this year in every aspect!
