My name is Bailey Tinsley and I am honored to be the recipient of the Mason G. Smoak Scholarship for Hardee Senior High School. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Hardee Senior High and was also able to earn my Associate of Arts degree through South Florida State College earning Magna Cum Laude honors. The past four years have blessed me with the ability to participate in so many activities that have helped shape me into the person I am today. My two biggest passions that I will continue throughout my college years are dance and most importantly deepening my relationship with Christ. I am thrilled to have already made connections through dance and Christian-based organizations at the University of Central Florida where I will be earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. Upon completion of my Political Science degree, I will transition to law school or a leadership related graduate program. I will continue to work hard and keep Christ at the center of all that I do to make the Mason G Smoak Foundation proud.
