Welcome to the GSBA Scholarship blog, Brains, Heart & Courage. We created this blog because we have so many scholarship recipients who are doing amazing things in both their educational and professional lives and we wanted to have a vehicle for them to share their stories with other students and program supporters in a timely and consistent manner.
The name, Brains, Heart, & Courage comes from The Wizard of OZ. The story of Dorothy and her travels to the Land of OZ is really the story of a hero’s journey. Dorothy left what she saw as her dreary home in Kansas and was transported to a new, exciting, and sometimes frightening land. There she was befriended by the scarecrow, tin-man, and lion who represented the brains, heart, and courage that we all need to make our own hero’s journey. Once Dorothy had faced and conquered the many challenges put before her, she returned home with a new perspective and feeling of self-confidence, uttering those famous words, “There’s no place like home.”
All of our scholars are beginning, or continuing their own hero’s journey and hopefully will return home to our community someday ready to step into the roles of leaders and visionaries.
We would love to hear about your successes and your challenges. Please use this blog not only to report your stories, but also to receive support from all of us as you embark on your own hero’s journey.
