“Through my journey I realized that change is not something that just happens because you want it to. Change is often times slow…although the road has been long and hard it has been more than worth the effort it took to get me here. Thanks to the support and encouragement of my wife and the people at Bates, I have found a sense of direction and self confidence. Receiving a scholarship has reassured me that someone cares about me as a person as well as a student who is trying to manage my way through school.”
~David Cubean, Legal Office Assistant Program & 2009 Sally Cofchin HOPE Scholarship Recipient
