  • Statement from Derrica Donelson
    Statement from Derrica Donelson First, allow me to express my deepest appreciation to Chairman and Honorable Senator Tom Harkin and the Honorable Senator Lamar Alexander from the great state of Tennessee for inviting me to testify in this meeting. There are few events in life that are as important and as life shaping as graduating from college. Thank you for the federal financial aid that has been made available to me and for the opportunity to achieve my dreams in life. While the path to graduation has not been simple or easy, it has been worth all the efforts. My name is Derrica Donelson. I am 23 years old. I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. I will graduate in August 2013 from Lipscomb University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting and a Master’s degree in Accounting. I was raised in a single parent home. I am the oldest of four children. I graduated from Martin Luther King, Jr. Academic Magnet High School. I am the first of the past two generations to graduate with a master’s degree. Upon graduating from high school, I had numerous conversations with my guidance counselor regarding future plans for college. She advised me to complete applications as early as possible. I submitted my application to Tennessee State University, Middle Tennessee State University, Austin Peay State University, and Trevecca Nazarene University. It was at a college fair at my high school, when I first learned of Lipscomb University. After talking with Lipscomb’s representatives, I made the decision to submit my application.
