Dhvani Patel is from Hershey High School and was nominated by Kim Haney. Dhvani was an ESL student and had to overcome a language barrier. This was especially difficult in chemistry class, as it is a bit of a language on its own. She not only did well in chemistry, but took AP Chemistry scoring a 4 on the AP Exam . This was an extremely good score especially considering that she took it during the pandemic in a very confusing time. Dhvani has also had to work outside the home in order to help to support her family, giving her less time to study.
Dhvani plans to major in computer science in her post secondary school. She hasn't picked a school at this point, but is excited about her choices.
Kim says of Dhvani, "Dhvani such a wonderful young lady. She always has a smile on her face, even though she has faced many challenges. She has a fun andlight personality and reacts well to set backs. She has a very kind heart and will benefit greatly from this scholarship. "
Congratulations & Good luck, Dhvani!
