Hit Your Target... With INTEGRITY...
 


1st Annual Integrity Essay Scholarship Competition

 

Integrity Directional Services has been blessed during our first year of business.  We decided to give back to our community in the form of scholarships to help young people pay for their college education.  We devised an essay competition whereby students would compete for prize money to be dedicated to higher education.  The topic for the essay was “Integrity” and how a special person has made an impact on their life.  (Click here to see complete rules, regulations and definitions) Benbrook Elementary was chosen to participate since it was a local school and very close to our company headquarters.  Mrs. Shelly Anderson, Benbrook Elementary Principal, was a pleasure to work with.  We thank her and Benbrook Elementary for the help and support provided.  Thirty Eight fifth grade students submitted essays for the scholarship competition.  Here are the results of our inaugural competition:

Maria Zamarripa took first place with a cash award of $1000.  Maria wrote an essay about her mother,Rose.  Maria is a fine young lady who will go far in life.  She has all the qualities that define “integrity” and we’re sure her family and friends are very proud of her, as are we.  It’s with great honor that Maria was selected as the first place winner in the inaugural “Integrity Essay” competition.  Her favorite subject is math and while she doesn’t know yet what she hopes to study in college, she is interested in attending Texas Christian University.  Congratulations Maria!

 

 

 

Baylee Gunnlaugsson took second place with a cash award of $500.  Baylee wrote an essay about her older brother Ty.  Baylee is also a fine young lady and says her older brother Ty has set a good example for her to follow.   We know they will both be successful in life and we wish them both the best.  She has two other siblings, Kim and Mike.  Baylee loves to write and hopes to be a photojournalist when she grows up.  She is currently undecided about which university she would like to attend.  Congratulations Baylee! 

 

 

We plan to make this an annual competition and will alternate between schools and/or provide scholarship money to multiple schools.  If you or your company/organization would like to partner with us that would be greatly appreciated.  After all, our young people hold the future to this country, so there is nothing more important.  For more information please contact sboyd@integritydirectional.com.
