Attending: University of Tennessee Chatanooga
I want to major in acting and minor in digital arts. The acting program I will be entering offers theatre education. I would love to be an actor but am considering being a theatre teacher as well. I’m not sure yet which direction I will go but I work with kids at my job now and I would really like to work with kids in the future too.
Noella Alcala
Rockvale High
Attending: Motlow State Community College
My planned major is Pre-Health. I plan on transferring to MTSU and majoring in physiology to finish Pre-Med requisites. This is connected to services for children and families because I want to be a pediatric surgeon to help children and give those them a better chance in life. I want to volunteer in helping families who are in need while in college through my major. All families deserve basic commodities like healthcare without having to worry about the cost. I aspire to go out of the country and help people who have low resources all of this through my major.

Nicholas was the younger brother to my wife Nancy. Nicholas often regretted some of his life choices and came to a point in his life, where he was ready to make a change for the better.
Before he had a chance to make those changes, his life was cut short. Nicholas had lung cancer, but he didn’t know it until he went to the hospital complaining about chest pain and difficulty breathing. The night before he went on life support, we had a conversation about he and I meeting, talking and helping him with making those better choices. Not knowing that this would be my last time talking to him, we both agreed this would be a good thing.
About a week later Nicholas passed away quietly in the hospital with friends and family around him.
wife and I made the decision to honor him by creating this organization in his name to do just that. In his name to help young educate and assist our youth that we can.
The Nicholas Foundation will stand in the gap as a ministry that will fill these voids while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our scholarships are designed to assist students with tuition, books, laptops, organization fees, and more.
We want to “Break Chains for Change” and help give our youth a different perspective on life by assisting them in education that will give them a different view of what success can be.
