Several of the Rotary Club of Kirkland's 2020 scholarship recipients have written to share something of their first year after high school. In this edition of the Spokesman, Rotarians hear from Colton Bailey, recipient of one of last year’s general Rotary scholarships. Here is his message to the club's membership:I am attending Western Washington University and I plan on majoring in public health with a goal of working with communities on bridging the communication gap between insurance, doctors, and pharmaceuticals.
The wonderful scholarship I received from the Kirkland Rotary has helped me with financial planning and, as a bonus, helped me with motivation for my current and past quarters of college. Receiving this scholarship motivated me to press forward towards my goals as my plans for the future feel vindicated by a scholarly group of individuals, proving to me that I am following the right path for my future. I can't thank the Rotary enough for all the help they have given me to pursue my dreams during the challenging times of COVID-19.
With sincere gratitude,
Cole Bailey
