"Dear Charter Oak State College Foundation,
I am honored to be one of the recipients of the technology grant. Thanks to your generous support I am meeting my goal of being the first in my family to complete college.
Growing up in a less privileged community has not only offered financial and academic challenges but has also helped me realize the value of a college education. With my new laptop I will no longer have late nights at the public library or have a limited pc use of 30 minutes which is hard to complete course work.
I have begun my final semester in completing my Bachelor of Science Degree and can already report that my academics are off to a first-rate start. Because I no longer feel rushed to complete my assignments at work, I am more relaxed and better engaged in my coursework."
