Good luck to whoever wins. =]
As a member here at Gaia for almost a month, I realized that I'm not waiting for the results anymore. I'm waiting for the messages, the friendships, the new people that enter my life for a reason; for a purpose as to a meaning. I am here to change the world
not in one big step, but by little each day through my voice to another.
One day, today, tomorrow, whenever,
I will change others for the better,
to realize what needs to be done and who
can do it with me. A scholarship is nice,
but a friend will last forever.
I appreciate the idea of the Gaia scholarship
because already, I met people who respect
my ambitions and would love to learn with me.
Already, I made friends to make
me successful in all that I do in the future.
The friends I found here can never be replaced,
can never be forgotten,
can never be just "there".
But "here",
in my heart.

Hey! That's exactly how it's turned out for me, too! I'm so happy that the scholarship led me to Gaia, but I really don't feel it is as earth-shatteringly important for my ego to get it anymore. Gaia is just a really cool community.
It's basically the same for me. I would've never found this place if it weren't for the scholarship. Even though, I'm not on here as much as I'd like to be, it's still an amazing community and I've really been inspired by it and the people I've talked to so far.
