^{A Questbridge Scholarship to Stanford has been granted to a senior at South Broward High School with extraordinary academic history. When the student, Angie Ruiz, received these news, it changed her life completely. She claims that when she found out, she was shocked, excited, but also feeling a bit melancholy because of the fact she must leave her family and friends, to go all the way to California. At the same time, it’s a great opportunity for her career and a chance in the real world.}

          ^{Ruiz applied through a website called Questbridge which is a non-profit program that links high-achieving students with educational and scholarship opportunities at leading U.S. colleges and universities.
