As a family member, I always want the very best for my Mom and I know that we have found an included a video submission and a virtual campus visit — Zagaynov felt he was able to stand out as a strong candidate due to his diligence in completing each phase. “I was very determined, persistent, responsible and dedicated to complete every phase of this scholarship (applica- tion). I made sure to attend and complete every phase on time,” Zagaynov said. “I revised and edited a lot. There was a phase where I had to record a video of myself answering a print question. I retook the video lots of times because I wanted to make sure my video was good.” Chuprova also was intentional with her application answers, but also believes that her passion for leadership is what helped her separate herself from some of the other applicants. “I believe my passion to be a leader and be a part of positive change helped me stand out in the process of attaining this scholarship. I truly described from my heart what leadership is to me. It is not actions or words alone, but quality of char- acter. I push myself to work everyday on how to better myself, as well as encourage others through my own personal process,” Chuprova said. Chuprova plans on majoring in biology at Corban and, like her fellow scholarship recipients, is driven to make a diff erence in the world through her faith. “Being a Christian means you are doing the best of your ability to be more Christ- like. To me, being Christ-like means to acknowledge what all the fruits of the spirit are and to be actively growing in them. Through the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith- fulness, gentleness and self control, my personal character is grown as a leader,” Chuprova said. “A leader leads out of love and treats others with respect. That alone is a point of view in life that I take very seriously.” Farris believes that all three students will make the most out of this opportunity, both in school and in their personal and professional lives. “These students are truly leaders in the community, in their churches and even inside their homes. All three of these stu- dents are hard workers, they are individu- als who are excited about college and want to use their college education to make a diff erence on campus, in our local commu- nity and the communities they will live in the future. I can’t wait to see where they go,” Farris said. incredible place where I know that she is happy and well-cared for. The atmosphere is engaging and respectful and it is so good to know that Mom is in such good hands. I would highly recommend this community to anyone! ” — HEIDI C.
