"Dear TwinWest,
Happy holidays! This is Mina Yuan, the 2017 recipient of the $5,000 Legacy Scholarship. I just finished my first quarter of sophomore year at Stanford, and I wanted to say hello and thank you again as 2018 draws to a close.
I’m truly so grateful for the support TwinWest has generously provided me with these past two years. It still feels surreal that I’m able to attend Stanford and focus wholly on my academic, career, and personal growth without needing to worry so much about working to pay tuition or living expenses. I’m currently working hard on pre-med coursework, preparing to declare my major in Economics, training to volunteer as a Patient Health Navigator at the free clinics, organizing a global health career fair, playing taiko, running various publicity campaigns, teaching a course on taiko technique and history, and working as an intern on a research team studying opioid epidemic health policy. I know for a fact that without your kindness and support, I would not be able to give myself fully to any or all of these activities because of financial strain.
Thank you again for helping make all of this possible for me. I hope you have a warm and wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!
Sincerely,
Mina Yuan"
