In 2021, Teachers’ Heritage Educational Partners LLC. created the Margaret Holley Legacy (MHL) Scholarship, a book scholarship for high school seniors who have made a difference in the lives of others by consistently providing support, displaying a pleasant demeanor, exhibiting kindness towards others and having a willingness to help.

Margaret Holley made a difference in the lives of her family and the lives of others. She never held flashy titles or positions. She just smiled and worked, but others knew that they could depend on her because of her strong and consistent work ethic!!! It’s amazing how a smile and a work ethic opened doors for her.

Because I am blessed, I want to be a blessing to others… On January 15, 2024, I tore my ACL, MCL, and LCL at hurdles practice. Competition stopped and everything changed. Being unable to play sports opened the door for self-reflection and also self-exploration.

Service and support to others in a way that helps them feel a sense of joy and peace are what motivates me to want to make people’s lives better… I have had countless opportunities to help others whether it has been as a Girl Scout in making vision boards for a homeless shelter, as a teammate by encouraging a fellow player who is having a rough game, or as a friend in providing a listening ear.

One of the most meaningful things I’ve done is help lead the Girl Empowerment Movement at PS 325. This program gave young girls a space to talk about their goals, build confidence, and learn how to believe in themselves. We talked about things like identity, self-respect, and not giving up.

Throughout high school, I’ve found purpose and happiness in helping others through small, consistent acts of care. Whether that's supporting my family, speaking up for my community, or offering guidance to peers, I always try to be a support wherever I'm needed.

I am a first generation student, and while my past has been filled with unimaginable pain, it has also fueled my drive to make a difference in the lives of others. As a survivor of trauma…I have learned that the power of listening and offering compassion can heal wounds that words alone can’t touch.

As I started Alex’s Angels at a young age, I had a lot to learn about being a leader. While I had my parents' support, they would not allow me to fully rely on them to make decisions for me, hoping to instill within me the ability to become a leader.

At the age of five, my mother began exploring various activities to keep me occupied. We settled on dance, which seemed to better resonate with me. My dance journey started with recreational ballet and tap classes. I began formal lessons at age nine and joined my studio's competitive dance team soon after…My favorite role has been teaching dance at Ballet Nouveau School (BNS) and Baltimore Sports Academy (BSA).

Making a difference in the lives of others has never been a one-time act for me – it’s been a consistent commitment to service, compassion, and advocacy. With over 900 verified community service hours on my official high school transcript, I have had the privilege of collaborating with individuals from all walks of life

At church, I’ve stayed involved in my volunteer ministry and through Boy Scouts. I’ve seen how the younger kids pay attention to how I carry myself, especially when it comes to faith. They may not always say it directly, but they’re watching.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in high school is that being of service to others can shape not only the people around you, but also who you become. My role as Media Specialist at Metropolitan SDA Church has allowed me to see this clearly.

Volunteering as a student director for my school’s fashion show made me realize that my superpower is to make a positive difference in other people’s lives. I entered the opportunity with a surface goal to create an amazing show, but I left with the value of intentional leadership.

When I first volunteered at a summer camp for underprivileged children, I didn’t expect one small second grader to change the way I saw myself and my future. His name was Jaylen. He was quiet, anxious, and had a hard time staying in the room.
