🌟 SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT 🌟
🎓 Congratulations, Loralie Swenby!
Loralie has a clear mission ahead of her: becoming an Attorney Guardian ad Litem, advocating for children under 18 who often have no voice in legal proceedings. That passion for protecting the most vulnerable has shaped both her academic path and her future career. She's a graduate of Boyceville High School and the recipient of both the William & Leona Amundson Memorial Scholarship and the BEST Academic Scholarship. This fall, she's pursuing a Family Law major with a Psychology minor.
"I have chosen to major in Family Law and minor in Psychology because I plan to become an Attorney Guardian ad Litem. I will advocate for children under the age of 18, who often lack a voice in legal proceedings. My passion for helping children has guided both my academic and professional goals, and I am committed to serving the most vulnerable."
Congratulations, Loralie! This is just the beginning of the impact you're going to have in family law. 💛
