| Noel Villanueva Business Administration Management at University of Wyoming Brunson/Thorp Scholarship I have big goals and dreams, and I don’t think it will be easy. I think it will be challenging, heartbreaking, and there will be for sure times where I wanna give up. But as long as I can look back on my life when I’m old and on my death bed, and think to myself ‘I made a difference’ then it will be all worth it. |

I believe in respecting the land that God has given us and using it to its fullest potential. |
