RBC Scholarship Reception

On Tuesday October 29^th, I was invited to a scholarship Reception in the Community Room in the Library. I was actually really excited to meet who was this amazing person that had given me this scholarship. When entering the community room I am given my name tag that contained my name and the name of the Scholarship I had received which was “Dr. Bruce Weekly Scholarship”. I came in and served myself some food that was given and I was looking for a name tag that read Dr. Bruce Weekly but didn't seem to have much luck to find him. After a few minutes I got some help to find my donor. To my surprise it was a very nice lady instead of the man I was searching for. She then later informed me that Dr. Bruce Weekly was her brother that had passed away a few years. She also mentioned how his first school was Richard Bland and then he transferred to VCU to become a Vet and also got his Ph.D in Pharmacology and that he always wanted to give back to the school where he came from. I felt really honored that I got to be one of the people that he donated a scholarship to. I was so glad that I went to this reception, because it really made me feel thankful for what I had received and also have in mind that maybe this can be a goal for me. When I become a doctor do the same and donate a scholarship to the school where I started from.
