Carol’s journey is not just her own; it’s a testament to her hard work and the boundless opportunities scholarship donors can provide. Carol’s high school achievements were recognized through the prestigious Banking on America Scholarship. Established in 1994 by Bank of America, this scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior who aspires to pursue a business-related course of study at a college or university. And, for Carol, the journey has taken a unique twist.
During her time at Singley, Carol made her mark as a member of the Law Enforcement specialty program. Her commitment to academic excellence earned her a spot in the esteemed National Honor Society. Beyond the classroom, Carol generously volunteered at her church and dedicated her time to Teen Court for the City of Irving, showcasing her deep-rooted passion for community service.
Carol’s educational journey took her first to El Centro College, where she graduated with not one, but two Associate degrees: one in Accounting and a second in Business Management. Her aspirations extend far beyond personal success; they encompass a profound desire to make a tangible difference in her community. Maybe that’s why Carol decided to switch majors and head west, to Lubbock, where she is now taking on the world of Supply Chain Management.
