Scholarship Won: TCA Scholarship - $2,000

While I was in high school, both of my parents were laid off from a position they had for years. This was a rough financial time for my family because my parents still had to raise and take care of three kids. During this time my dad was finally able to pursue his interest in truck driving. After being employed with DM Bowan, he was again able to provide for the family and also really enjoy his work. My dad always talks about how much he loves his career and tells us all of the interesting stories that happen while on the job. Overall, my dad's career in truck driving has allowed our family to be supported while also being assured that our dad is now enjoying his life through his job.
