We are pleased to announce that we have awarded our Friends of Euclid Creek Scholarship in Environmental Studies to Anne Roberto who is pursuing environmental studies at Tri-C, planning to transfer to CSU to obtain an bachelor's degree in environmental science with focus in biology.
Annie stated in her application letter that it is her "goal to become an environmental scientist working in the field of wildlife conservation. I am also interested in the field of sustainability and the career of a sustainability specialist."
"I have had an interest in environmental science from a young age ... and ... grew up in South Euclid.. where the Euclid Creek runs through my backyard...playing and exploring in the creek. I had an interest and curiosity in the different changes that occurred within the creek from different environmental factors such as the weather, and also human factors like pollution."
"Growing up, being surrounded by nature stirred a passion in me to want to work towards preserving it. I am quite concerned with the effects of pollution in my community as well as the rest of the planet, and the effects on human health."
"I am connecting more pieces each day through my education and gaining insight into the environmental systems, and the detrimental effects that cause changes to them. I am hoping that through my education I can help protect and preserve not only wildlife, but also help make a difference in the negative effects on our planet."
