Winner of the 2023 Energize Your Education College Scholarship
The winner of the 2023 Energize Your Education Scholarship is Nitya Kodali, a graduate of Langham Creek High School in Houston Texas.
Nitya will attend Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tennessee this fall.
Here is her winning essay.
“Thank You”. With these two words, I dropped my pebble into the water. After seeing the sacrifices made by healthcare professionals fighting on the front lines during the pandemic, I sought to express my deep gratitude and make these two words known. So, I gathered my art supplies and spent my entire week crafting heartfelt thank-you cards and handmade gifts for my local hospital.
Seeing the appreciation of the doctors and nurses who decorated the hospital walls with these cards, I started an initiative called Letters & Love in hope of inspiring others to partake in this mission. With the love of people from all around the world, Letters & Love slowly went from a small Instagram initiative, to a community organization, and a global 501(c)(3) non-profit organization today.
At present, the Letters & Love community includes thousands of volunteers across forty countries and all fifty states of the US.
Together, we have written more than fifty thousand letters of gratitude to hospitals worldwide and conducted special service projects throughout the year including donating masks and PPE, designing collaborative art for hospital decoration, and creating handmade gifts for the holiday season.
In my role as Founder and President, I work diligently with my team to coordinate volunteers, host community events, and meet with hospital directors. As a result of frequent meetings consisting of group letter-writing events, check-ins, and special projects, we have transformed from a group of individuals to a close-knit and supportive community.
Seeing my pebble of kindness create ripples in the water has ignited a fire in me. I never imagined the impact this project would have, with schools & communities joining to spread kindness. However, through this eye-opening and beautiful journey, I have seen first-hand the vast impact we can have by coming together. Learning and growing with every footstep, I will continue to walk down the path of leadership and service.
Change does not start and end with one person. Therefore, it is my life’s mission to inspire others to become leaders in their respective communities. Together, we can create waves in the ocean.
