Nashville, TN, United States - September 2, 2021 /MarketersMedia/ —
Rocky McElhaney Law Firm is pleased to announce Kennedei Harris, an incoming Freshman at Spelman College, is the 2021 recipient of the Max McElhaney Memorial Educational Scholarship. Ms. Harris intends to study Early Childhood Education.
“Kennedei is an extraordinary young woman,” said Rocky McElhaney, Rocky McElhaney Law Firm Founder, Chief Legal Officer, & Lead Attorney. “We had some truly incredible applicants this year, but her story and her strength shone so brightly. We expect big things from her, and we’re so proud that we can help her on her journey.”
About Scholarship winner Kennedei Harris
Kennedei Harris was a junior at Lee County High School in Georgia in March of 2020 when she lost her sister and father to COVID-19 within two days of each other. Before the year was out, she would lose her aunt as well.
Despite personal tragedies capable of crippling the spirits of most adults, teenage Kennedei Harris found strength in her faith and her relationships with her surviving family members. She worked hard to remain an exemplary student and National Honor Society member, pushing herself to excel at school despite her losses. She continued to pursue her commitment to serving her community, working with her church on choir outreach programs, tutoring low-income, at-risk students, and distributing school items to those in need.
In her scholarship application, Kennedei spoke about her goal to be the type of leader who promotes and embodies the definition of change and difference. As her school counselor stated, “Kennedei displays a sense of maturity beyond her years. She is unapologetically herself even when it may not be understood. This trait sets her apart from her peers and will continue to set her apart in a culture where everyone wants to conform.”
Kennedei will enter Spellman Collage this fall as a Freshman and will pursue training to become a teacher, a role she believes will allow her change the world, one student at a time.
