Elli is a lover of English, whether it be reading, writing, or literature. She believes that the way someone uses their words is the quickest way to know them as a person. She loves to read and build her imagination, and strives to have new solutions to problems from things she has learned. Writing is also a favorite pastime of hers, especially when it comes to making fictional stories. She believes English is a complex language, and that it should be studied in every way it can.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
Elli plans on attending Oklahoma State University for Pre-Law in Fall of 2026, and an award would help boost her to reach that goal.

This award would help her greatly to achieve her future.
