INDUSTRYNEWS (continued from page 61) and I try very hard to be a great mother while juggling school and work. Since I am a single mother, I have worked two and three jobs in order to support myself and my son. Receiving this scholarship is a great help to me. I would like to thank the International Door Association for awarding me this scholarship and making my lifelong dream of becoming a nurse a reality." Stephanie Pittman Region 6 Sponsor: Marvin's Garage Doors, East Bend, NC School: University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC "My goals are to obtain a bachelor's degree in Nursing and to eventually work at Forsyth or Baptist hospital. As of now I am uncertain as to which department I want to work in, but I am hoping the clinical rotations will help with the decision. I strive to be the nurse who takes the time for not only the patient's physical needs, but also their emotional and spiritual needs as well. I cannot thank you enough for your generous support toward furthering my education." Stephanie participates in the Association of Nursing Students, as a volunteer for Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes (ANS), Can Food Drives (ANS) and as the PACE (Planning for Academic Collegiate Excellence) of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, helping to organize community service projects, events, fundraising and tutoring.

I am going into my fourth year at the University of British Columbia (UBC) studying Kinesiology (The study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement, especially in humans), and am so very grateful to have received IDA's very generous scholarship 62 International Door & Operator Industry™ which will help allow me to pursue my passions!

Between study sessions, I'll be staying active and sweating the stress away playing soccer, softball, dodge ball, and football."
