What the Hixson award means to me


What the Hixson Award Means to Me
Brian Seda
            Receiving the Hisxon award was one of the best things that have ever happened to me. When I found out that I had won the award I was overjoyed. I knew that this award would help me out in paying for college. I also knew that this award would give me an awesome opportunity at Iowa State. This award will help me achieve my goal of graduating from Iowa State.
            The Hixson award will help me out a lot financially. This award makes it easier for my family and I to pay for college. This award makes me be able to attend Iowa State and not have to pay full tuition. It means a lot to me to only have to pay half tuition for four years while here at Iowa State. This allows Iowa State to be one of the cheapest yet best college options for me to attend.
            The opportunity that the Hixson award presents is second to none. This award means that I am able to attend Iowa State and achieve my dream of graduating from Iowa State. This award means that I will be able to learn from some of the best professors in the nation for four years. It allows me to become better rounded while learning so much new information while being here at Iowa State.
            The last thing that this award means to me is that I will be able to try and achieve my dream job one day. My goal is to graduating with a degree in management and a minor in sport recreation. This award will help me achieve this goal. After college I want to go to graduate school to receive my masters degree in sports management. Then I would like to work for a professional sports team or maybe in a college athletic office.
            Overall the Hixson award means a lot to me. For me it means the opportunity to achieve my goals. The award also means a lot to me because it will assist me in paying for college. Receiving the award was a true honor and I can’t explain the feeling I received when I opened the envelope and found out that I had won the award. I am going to use the Hixson award to help me achieve my goals and dreams while here at Iowa State.
