Scholarship Winner

DoSomething member Samantha, 20, swapped stories with her grandmother and earned our Senior Homies scholarship!

Samantha says:

“One of my favorite stories of hers is when she got in trouble as a teen, because she had told her parents she was going to the library to study but went to an anti-war rally instead,” Samantha writes. “ They found out when she was on the front page of the newspaper. To this day she still shows up at women's marches and peaceful protests, she has such a big, kind heart and really wants to make a difference for humanity. And that's why I love her :)”
