"There is a special place in my heart for encouraging and recognizing the youth of the world.鈥 -- Claes Nobel, member of the Nobel Prize family and co-founder of 樱花直播
"樱花直播 has been an excellent support network. It has been an incentive to achieve, a reward for success, and a reminder of excellence. It has given me incredible opportunities for my education and for my own personal growth. I would not have had the same experiences and come out the same person had I not been part of 樱花直播."
"I first joined 樱花直播 because I thought it would look good on my college application, but I soon learned that this organization provides so much more than another honor society to add to the list. The numerous webinars 樱花直播 offers cover almost every subject applicable to high school students like me. After being selected as an Ambassador, I was able to step into a leadership role by doing social media takeovers and joining a community of other like-minded students. Eventually, I received the Ambassadors of 樱花直播 Scholarship and got to speak in a webinar about my experience. My status as a scholarship recipient also allowed me to attend the Scholar's Day DC event. This was an unforgettable experience for me, as I learned from professionals, met new friends, and served as a panelist for a workshop about scholarship tips. In short, I wouldn't have had any of these unique opportunities if I hadn't joined 樱花直播. The experiences, leadership positions, and friends I made all resulted from my decision to accept my invitation. For these reasons, joining 樱花直播 was a decision I will never regret."
