“There were so many amazing candidates this year,” said Shawn Burns, General Manager/Operating Partner of Planet Ford in Spring. “It was a real challenge for our team to choose, but when we read her application, her story and saw what she wanted to accomplish, she was a clear choice for this scholarship.
Randall Reed, owner of Planet Ford in Spring and World Class Auto Group agrees. “Stephanie is going to go far in life and help a lot of people alone the way. We are so happy to help encourage and support her in accomplishing her dreams,” he said.
Stephanie is an excellent student but also very active in in extracurricular and community activities. After encountering a sever health scare with few funds available for treatment, she was able to locate a service to help her through Harris County. She already had an interest in the medical field. She was worried that she would have to give that option up when she fell ill. Thankfully, though the help medical experts, she has been treated and it further fueled her passion for the medical profession.
Stephanie will be attending Texas A&M where she will being her education on the path to becoming a surgical nurse. She hoped one day to work at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Ten years from now, her goal is to open a free clinic to allow people to have access to healthcare when needed — a service she is thankful was afforded to her when she needed it most.
Congratulation to Stephanie and her family. Randall Reed, Shawn Burns and our entire team at Planet Ford in Spring celebrate all of your hard work and are thrilled to support you as you move forward onto a great future.
