This is by far the hardest venture I have put myself through, and I'm sure I will benefit from it for a long time to come...

I want to express my gratitude to the Aurora supporters and to let them know I will take full advantage of this precious gift they given me.  In future, I hope to pay it forward and use my experiences here to inspire and help the next generation of Aurora Scholars.
