“I think that part of the scholarship is that you take on an ambassadorial role for The Bahamas. It almost puts it into writing that I need to be aware of what’s going on in The Bahamas, and be aware of how I can come back to contribute to this country, and I feel really proud that I’m able to represent The Bahamas, hopefully in a good light.”
