Coin Club Gives Currency to Collegiate
by Rosalie Spear
As a young and aspiring journalist and college student, I am
well aware of the economic hardships that many Americans
face today. With the cost of college tuition rising and the
expense of books tearing a hole in every student’s pocket, I was
extremely grateful to receive a scholarship from the Las Vegas
Numismatic Society. I dedicate these graciously given funds to
my book expenses every semester. It has helped me out
immensely, and I feel very honored to be a recipient of the
LVNS Scholarship.
Since I was a young girl, my grandparents, Roslyn and Arthur
Spear, have been Las Vegas Numismatic Society members.
From silver dollars to international coins, my grandparents have
always showed me everything they could about their favorite hobby--
collecting coins. Numismatics is very interesting as to me it is a
representation of history itself. There is a coin for every stitch in time!
In about two years when I graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in
Journalism from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, there will have
already been all kinds of historical events marked by different
currencies across the globe. I am curious to see what new coins will be
around when I start my writing career. If I obtain my dream job of
writing and photographing for National Geographic, I would definitely
want to write a piece on the history of coins and how LVNS and my
grandparents’ passion spiked my interest in them.
By receiving this scholarship from LVNS, I have been able to focus on
my schoolwork more and stress less about the actual cost of education.
I have been very successful so far; I have been on the Dean's List since
my first semester of college and also receive the UNLV Excellence
Scholarship and the Millennium Scholarship.
Without the aid of LVNS,
college would be a very
different experience for me.
I couldn’t realistically afford
to spend hundreds of dollars
for textbooks and I would not
be able to truly place all of
my effort into my schoolwork
rather than the cost behind
it. I am extremely grateful to
receive this scholarship from
such a great club that truly
values education and America's next
generation of leaders.
