SHSGA Fellowship Student Profile

My name is Robin, a 10th grader at Como Park High School in St. Paul, MN. I'm writing this letter to share something that has completely changed my life - the incredible youth golf program, Solomon Hughes Sr. Golf Academy.

I currently participate in the SHSGA Fellowship Team, and this is my second year in the program. Being a Fellow has exposed me to places and opportunities I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. It has opened doors and introduced me to people I never thought I'd meet in my life. – I have always been really interested in psychology, and as a Fellow I got to meet a sports psychologist. Experiences like the ones I’ve had will stay with me throughout my entire life.

Before this program, I didn't think much about college, and scholarships were something I barely understood. But now, thanks to the connections I've made, I see that college is a tremendous opportunity, and scholarships are the keys to unlocking it. I know now that I could even get a full ride or have my education expenses covered – it's seriously life-changing. Through this program, I learned about and now participate in the Evans Scholars program. This will give me an opportunity to gain a full ride scholarship to The University of Minnesota. This program opened my eyes to all these possibilities, and made me want to be better prepared for my senior year.

So, I'm reaching out to you hoping you will help make these experiences available for other kids like me. Your gift to SHSGA will help provide access to these life-changing experiences. When you make a contribution, you’re giving the gift of growth, learning, and unforgettable memories. Will you join me in making a difference? Your support would mean the world to me!
