Scholarship Committee Co-Chair Viewpoint

December 29, 2022 by Rodden Dawn

My name is Valerie Parillo and I am Co-Chair of the SBWN Scholarship Committee.  This program is important to me because of my own past experiences.  I wanted to be an RN.  I was married with children and it was my educational dream.  I went back to school and 8 years later I was an RN.  People often said to me that they would like to do something but it would take too long.  I thought, well, the time will go by anyway and I might as well keep moving towards my goal.  I took a little time off as I became a single Mom and then I wanted a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, so 3 years later I accomplished that.  Another break and my final goal was ready to be met.  Four years later, I had a Master’s Degree and was a Nurse Practitioner.  I went to school for 15 out of 23 years but at the end of that time, I had met my educational goals.  I received a number of scholarships and fellowships during my school years.  They meant so much to me.  Financially, it was helpful, but just as helpful was having someone believe in me.  A scholarship is a tangible expression of belief in someone.  So if you have a dream, just keep showing up and working on it and reach out for help when you need it.
