Marissa stole our hearts with the song she wrong in the tune of Jingle Bells:

Scholarship, Scholarship, make my dreams come true. I’ll work hard and do my best, you’ll be proud of me, hay! Please choose me, to win the prize, I will use it carefully. To pay my bills and dorm and food, a college girl I’ll be.

Seriously? That’s amazing! Marissa will be entering her second year at the University of Missouri St. Louis Succeed Program. She’s working to become a preschool teacher. We can’t wait to hear what song she’ll write for her first interview!

The students are going to love you Marissa. Rock on! You’re doing amazing.
