Anela Mosqueda
Here is a little about herself:
I am very honored to be a chosen recipient of the HAHPERD scholarship.I have been dancing as long as I remember myself- since I was 4 years old. I have done jazz, tap, contemporary, hula, but the love of my life is classical ballet. I have been blessed to dance in my high school, have after-school dance rehearsals, catch a bus to a class at my ballet studio (Hawaii State Ballet) and later have a rehearsal there until nighttime. The times when I was able to teach dance to my peers and assist with beginner ballet classes for small children I found especially rewarding. I loved every moment of my journey, and it was only natural for me to continue as a ballet dance major at UNCSA where I was accepted this year.
I am grateful to the HAHPERD scholarship for helping me to
pursue my dream. In the future I would like to become an educator and be able
to share my love and knowledge of dance with children and adults and pass on
the opportunities that we presented to me.

Here is a little about note from Judah:
Aloha Hawaii Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Scholarship Committee,
I
am extremely grateful for the recognition of my educational goals and
journey by all of you. This award now puts my total over $50,000 in
scholarships and grants towards my first year at college and even though
I still have over $10,000 to fill, I remain hopeful there will be more
awards to come. None of my parents, siblings, cousins, aunties, uncles,
grandparents, great-grandparents, and more generations from before, have
achieved a Bachelor's degree, so this helps me to complete a
generations-old dream and every bit of funds provides my family with a
sense of relief from financial burdens so we truly appreciate it all.
