Jessica, CRLS Class of 2018 recipient of the Friends of CRLS First Scholars Award Sponsored
by Cambridge Trust, now enrolled at UMass Lowell, told us:
“From my college education in the near future, I hope to create a project or movement that will
promote awareness and benefit those in need within our society. I want to use my developing
graphic design skills to create statistics and images and post them on a social media platform. I
also want to use my skills to advocate for justice and fight against issues in our society so that
youth may grow in a positive and safe environment. What matters to me the most is living
positively, and I know that there will be hardships in college, but my persistence in doing my
best will get me through it.â€
Congratulations, Jessica!
