Call us at 310-322-1830 By Cristian Vasquez Working hard is nothing new for Hawthorne Math & Science Academy seniors Johann Webb and Isaac Gorgy: 4.0 GPAs, Advanced Placement courses and volunteering for various activities are just some of the accolades on their high school record. Recently added to that list are recipients of the Gates Millennium Scholarship. “I wasn’t expecting to get it at all; I had a certain percent chance that I wasn’t going to get this scholarship,” Gorgy said. “There are so many people that applied, so why would they chose me? It is hard to describe but it was something that I never imagine getting it.” Funded through a $1.6 billion donation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the GMS was awarded to 1,000 high school seniors throughout the United States. The scholarship, which aims to promote “academic excellence and to provide an opportunity for outstanding minority students with significant financial need to reach their highest potential” funds the undergraduate, graduate and even Ph.D education of the recipients. The demanding application process was something that Gorgy and Webb expected but admit that applying for this scholarship was unlike applying for any other scholarship. “It [GMS] was not something that was unknown to us but our counselor, Ms. Bui, brought it to us and said that we should really apply,” Webb said. “She mentioned how they really stressed volunteering so we had to make sure to prepare for that, as well as the eight essays that they required: there were eight essays and I had probably written that many applying to colleges.” With the help of their counselor Julia Bui, the two young academics went step-by-step through the application process, multiple times, ensuring that no detail was missed while simultaneously encouraging the two seniors to keep pushing forward. “Before speaking to Ms. Bui I didn’t think this scholarship was something tangible for people like us, but she stressed it, she gave us the prompts and vetted us through it,” said Gorgy. “It was definitely overwhelming. Looking at the prompt you realize how much they require of you and at one time I did think it was too much and that I probably wouldn’t get it but I had so many people supporting me that I kept me going.” After submitting the application in January both students went on with other senior-year activities, including applying for additional scholarships for financial assistance. It wasn’t until March that they learned they had been selected as finalist to receive the scholarship. “That is when I thought I really had a chance at this and that I could be set for life,” Webb said. In April the two busy teens received the package that would change their lives in the mail. “I was at home and I don’t remember if I had a good or bad day but I had a really bad headache,” Webb, who is planning to attend UC San Diego to major in engineering, said. “I was lying down in bed and was trying to go to sleep but my sister was bugging me. She then said ‘some mail from the gates millennial scholarship came’ to which I said okay but she told me it was a package. At that point my headache started to go away.” Both students were spending time and energy applying for other scholarships but now that’s over. “I was walking home from school. My parents saw the envelope and didn’t want to open it so they left it for me on the table to see when I walked in,” Gorgy, who will attend UCLA to major in Biology, said. “I think they had a feeling what it was since it was a fancy and very professional envelope. Opening it was the ultimate ecstasy. It was a feeling you can’t describe. I thought I would scream at the top of my lungs but I was speechless.” In addition to the financial amenities, the scholarship connects the students to a community of scholars so that they do not just become college students going through the motions. The network of fellow academics that they are connected to is expected to tailor leaders that engage in activities beyond academics. “It [GMS] lets you focus on your education because now you don’t have to worry about money, a job; your focus is on your goal,” Gorgy said. “That is the most incredible part about this scholarship.” Both students acknowledged that without the impact of HMSA, its teachers and counselors, their accomplishments would not have been possible. “You could teach yourself if you have that inner motivation and it can take you far but there is no substitute for a good teacher,” Webb said. “This school is full of great teachers. They are inspirational themselves and come with great backgrounds.” In order to apply for the scholarship a student must have a nominator and recommender who are asked extensive questions, with much detail. “Without my nominator and recommender, I would not have applied at all. Ms. Bui, our counselor, and Ms. Sharp, my world history teacher, were my biggest influences in participating,” Gorgy said. “I genuinely would not have applied if it weren’t for them and their constant encouragement. The spotlight is on us but the credit is all theirs because I owe it all to them.” •
