South Plains and So Much More

After graduating from Shallowater High School, I began my college career at South Plains College as a Business Administration major, with my first semester's tuition fully paid for (partially funded by the Shallowater Education Foundation Scholarship). In addition to my classes, as a student at SPC, I have had the privilege of participating in several intramural sports and cheering in the student section at basketball games, being a Campus Ambassador my sophomore year (giving tours to prospective students), and winning the 2016 Miss Caprock Scholarship Pageant (I will crown the next winner in November 2017). I have also been on the Dean's List my first semester at SPC, and the President's List the last three semesters.

I will graduate from South Plains College in May 2017, and I will continue my education at Texas Tech University Rawls College of Business as a marketing major.

​I cannot express my gratitude enough to all that aided in making this adventure possible for me--you truly do not understand the impact you have on our lives as students.

Thank you so much!

Hannah Almsted surfs through Pepperdine University

Hi everyone! I am finishing up my sophomore year at Pepperdine University, pursuing a degree in Journalism and Advertising, and truly enjoying every second. In my time at Pepperdine, I have become involved in many different avenues on campus, including working as a staff writer for The Graphic, our student newspaper, volunteering through the Pepperdine Volunteer Center, winning back-to-back championships with my intramural basketball team, and serving as the communications chair for my sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Over the past two years, I have learned that there is nothing quite like being surrounded by selfless, inspirational, ambitious people with unbound potential. I have learned to cherish every cafeteria dinner with housemates, and every car ride sing along down Pacific Coast Highway. I have learned to wake up early just to catch the sunrise, and to always stop and smell the flowers. Most of all, however, I have learned how truly blessed and thankful I am for the town I was raised in. Shallowater High School and organizations like the Shallowater Education Foundation challenged me to chase my dreams, pursue my passions, and to never be afraid to make a difference, and that is something I will forever be grateful for. Thank you so much again for everything!


Warm Regards,
Hannah Almsted

​I am currently completing my second semester of my sophomore year. Within my years here I have become involved in various places. I have had the honor of being asked to be a President's Ambassador for the university, and have enjoyed thanking donors and being the faces of the student body through this organization. While here at Wayland I have gotten a job at the museum here on campus. Just recently we opened our new Jimmy Dean Museum, I had the privilege of helping build many of the exhibits and organizing many of his memorabilia. Wayland Baptist has been a great place and I am so very thankful to be here! I am very thankful for organizations, like the Shallowater Education Foundation, that have helped me get to the place that I am and helping me get to the places I'm working towards!


Thanks,
Jackson
