What does the scholarship mean to me?: I am sincerely grateful for the generosity of Mr. Paul C. Sung and the Harry Simons Scholarship Donors. This scholarship is an immense help to both myself and my family—a significant supporter of my college career. While I continue to work in addition to attending UCLA, the scholarship has unloaded a great deal of financial stress which will enable me to concentrate on and excel in academics, as well as enjoy my final year at UCLA. I have worked very hard in school and the reward is truly cherished. I will continue to show my appreciation for the benevolence of the donors through success in my education at UCLA, and future in Accounting.
