Moraga's Pamela Ross, age 21, was one of six recent winners of the Blackhawk Women's Scholarship Fund (BWSF) college scholarships awarded at a tea held on Sunday, May 1st.
Chairman Pam Harris told the scholarship winners, as she passed out their individual $5,000 awards, sometime in the future they should recognize someone else who is in need and help them in some way. "It doesn't have to be monetary help. You might have a loved one or friend that just needs some of your time, or a shoulder to lean on. Just take the time to help someone else who is in need. That's all we ask."
Ross attended Diablo Valley College and is headed to UC Davis in the fall as a junior transfer student to study International Relations/Peace and Conflict Resolution.
"We live in a flattened world with all our current technology. We can see, hear and talk to people like they are physically with us. We are all connected in some way. Policies of France affect us in the US, and vice versa. I see issues, conflicts, etcetera, that need resolution and hopefully I can be a diplomat one day and develop resolutions for those problems. I feel I can make a difference, a positive difference, in the world," said Ross.
