My name is Lovie Reece, and I am a sophomore at Newark Memorial High School. I have been selected to attend the National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC) on Nursing. This prestigious program selects outstanding high school students worldwide to participate based on academic excellence, extracurricular involvement and demonstrated leadership potential. It is an honor to be able to attend the NSLC, and I am extremely excited about this opportunity.

 

 

Last year, my mother and grandmother passed away unexpectedly. Before that, my oldest brother overdosed, and I was the one to find him unresponsive on the couch. Those personal losses made me even more certain of my career choice to become a Registered Nurse.

 

I also fall into the category of “low-income.” These conditions have limited the number of opportunities I may be eligible for but can’t participate. My financial struggles are why I am so driven to get an education.  Therefore, your financial support in any amount will make a big difference in helping me attend the NSLC Summer Nursing Program.
