Marin Riddle

Fridley, Minnesota

I am so excited and eternally thankful for the opportunity presented to me by Beacons of Influence and The Hana Mohammad Scholarship funds. I plan to continue my career in psychology at Minnesota State University, Mankato, in hopes to become a psychologist! I graduated from Fridley High School in 2022, with an associate degree from Anoka-Ramsey Community College, from participation in the PSEO program. I am involved in Mankato's Speech and Debate team, traveling across the country to pursue Poetry reading. Mental health is my focus, as past struggles have kept me from doing what I love. My goal in life is to help people who are struggling with their own self-worth, and make sure people realize they are not alone. This scholarship will help me make sure I am taking all the courses I can to help me become the best version of myself, that way I can make sure other people are the best versions of themselves too! Thank you!
