Speaker: Dakota Harp
Dakota Harp: Hello, my name is Dakota Harp and first and foremost, I want to say thank you very much for this scholarship. It will definitely help me achieve my dreams and goals in life. So, who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? I joined the Marines at 18, I served for six years. I got out, got my associate's degree in HVAC, Heating and AC which that's actually where I'm working now doing Heating and AC and currently I am working on a second associate's and most likely bachelor's after that in business management. And it has always been a dream of mine to own my own business someday. I'm very business minded. Both my parents, they've had their own businesses over the years, but right now I'm actually part of such an amazing company that instead of reinventing the wheel, what I'll most likely be doing is moving up in management there. You know, once I have the years of experience as a technician, moving towards management, and things like that. So either way I decide to go, either way God calls me, my business management degree will help me in either way. So again, thank you very much for the scholarship. It will help me achieve my educational goals, which will in turn help me achieve my dreams and goals in life as well. Thank you.
