"My experience working with Vector has taught me to live with abundance, integrity, and focus. As a CSP and newly promoted CGC, growing my business during a global pandemic was made possible only by the leadership at Vector. Ultimately, I'm certain I will be a better person, friend, husband, parent, and nurse because of the Cutco experience."

"Winning an All-American scholarship means the world to me. Because I'm paying for college myself, I am always looking for ways to ease the financial strain college tuition adds. It allows me to allocate my paycheck toward other priorities in my life, such as family. It also shows me that no matter what your goals are, if you put in the work, you'll set yourself up for success."

"Winning the All-American scholarship would prove my belief that I can truly do it all! Two and a half years ago, I had no idea how I would pay for school and be a part of the organizations and hobbies that interested me. Winning the scholarship, in addition to accomplishing my other goals, would show me this is only the beginning."

"I have grown so much professionally, physically, and socially in the past few months I have been with Cutco. It's crazy to think that I've had the opportunity at the age of 18 to build up my college resume, grow my savings account, and meet so many amazing people who, like myself decided to step out of their comfort zone and run after success."
