2nd 8th grade GRANT
is Awarded to EMILY ROSE SCHWINN, sponsored by her Dad, ADAM SCHWINN (Ret. Capt. E-21)
Hello, I am Emily Schwinn, I highly appreciate the Steuben Association for this grant. I am fourteen years old, graduating from Patriot Oaks Academy, going to Bishop Kenny High School. Over my five years at Patriot Oaks, I have accomplished many things. When I was thirteen in seventh grade, I started the school’s first ever creating writing club, and when I arrive at Bishop Kenny, I intend to start taking German classes and join the German club, not only to connect with others who wish the same but also to take pride in my German heritage. On another note, I am currently working on writing a book and hope for it to be completed soon, I also enjoy reading books, specifically the historical fiction and fantasy genre. I look forward to having a bright future someday, and that this grant is only the beginning.
With regards,
Emily Schwinn.
