Hannah Bryner
Hannah Bryner is a social work major in her sophomore year at Harrisburg Area Community College. She chose to major in social work because she wants to empower others and give them hope that their circumstances can change. She has always believed that a life lived serving others is the best way to live, which is what lead her to choose her field of study. Hannah is working her way through college, and chose HACC because it allows her to live at home and commute to school just three days a week. She appreciates that her advisor worked with her to create a schedule that allowed her to be both a full-time student and employee. Hannah likes experiencing new places, and then sharing her discoveries with the people she loves the most. She also enjoys watching makeup tutorials for new tips and tricks she can use in one of her part-time jobs as a make-up artist for bridal parties. Hannah hopes to one day start her own scholarship fund. Working multiple jobs while also going to school is a daily challenge, so she would like to pay it forward for other students in a similar situation someday.
“I chose HACC because it was an affordable way for me to begin my college education, and I went into college with the goal of graduating debt free. I work numerous jobs to earn money for school, but having this scholarship has been an immense blessing to me. Receiving this scholarship has helped me stay debt free so far which has only been possible because of this scholarship.” –Hannah Bryner |
