As the eldest child of her family, Jordan Pellegrini grew up learning how to take care of her mother who lives with multiple sclerosis. Jordan gains her strength and inspiration from watching her mother deal with daily challenges. “My mother has taught me to be strong,” says Jordan. “Even though this disease takes a great toll on her daily, she always gets back up.” With an athletic background and a love for helping others, Jordan plans to use her scholarship to study and work towards becoming a physical therapist.
