"My name is Emma Jeschke and I am a nursing student at Bellin College. I recently received the Brian LaViolette Scholarship and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude.

I was moved, not only by all the good you've helped put into the world, but also by Brian himself. His motto, 'The Journey is the Reward," carries a very powerful message and is an immense inspiration to me as I work through nursing school.
Life's journeys teach us so much more than we recognize. Life is such a precious gift and unfortunately, not always guaranteed. For this reason, we need to love fully in the present, be compassionate and empathetic towards others and never take a moment for granted.
I feel blessed beyond compare to have received such a generous gift. Your generosity is a light during dark times, and I truly appreciate the effort everyone at the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation makes to positively impact the community. Bellin College is lucky to have such compassionate friends."
