What this scholarship means to me: It is an extreme honor and blessing to be selected for the John J. Peterson scholarship. This scholarship will allow me to not have to work during the school year and to focus on my academic and professional commitments for my last three quarters at UCLA. My family and I would like to sincerely thank Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, along with the Peterson family, for giving me this opportunity.
