5	Lorraine Valdez Memorial Scholarship	$500	Most former students would recognize Lorraine Valdez as long-time attendance clerk at Redlands High School. Whether she told you her new favorite joke, celebrated a win from last night’s game of any sport, or raised her eyebrows at someone’s unexcused absence, Lorraine was well-known for her generosity of spirit and the love she spread throughout her community. What people may not know about her is that in getting married and starting her family at 16, she didn’t have the opportunity to graduate high school. Recognizing the importance of education, she went back to school to get her G.E.D., and took opportunity after opportunity to work her way up from her job as a noon duty aide to her tenure at RHS. In continuing her legacy of generosity, forgiving when she could, and taking advantage of every opportunity given, this scholarship established in her name is to provide a high school senior with a second chance. Whatever the reason a student may have been pushed a step (or a few) behind, the funds are meant to support them in continuing their education in a way that is meaningful to them. In a short easy essay please describe what a second chance could mean for you in your life (we are not looking at the length we are looking at content).	YES
