All the hours Faith Kidwell spent practicing the tuba in high school led to this moment: an audition to join UCF/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s brass studio. She was confident in her music selection, but on this day, she felt /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cterrified,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d convinced she wouldn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019t be good enough to win over the judges who would determine her future./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

One of them she recognized: It was Benjamin Vasko, a visiting assistant professor of tuba and euphonium at the UCF School of Performing Arts. She had spent the past year taking private lessons from him, driving 60 miles each week from Cocoa Beach, Florida, to Orlando in an old pickup truck with no AC or working windows./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cBreathe,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d she told herself. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cYou/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019ve worked hard for this./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

Adrenaline coursing through her body, her mind giving way to muscle memory, she sat upright, positioned her tuba, drew a deep breath and began playing the first few notes. The rest, she says, is blurred from her memory./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

Kidwell, now in her second semester at UCF as a music education major, never would have guessed she/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019d end up here. Her relatively stable life today stands in stark contrast to her unstable past./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

A Florida native, Kidwell grew up in a single-parent home, often shuffling between different schools and foster homes due to her mother/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s drug addiction. Shortly after she enrolled in Cocoa Beach Junior/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028//Senior High School, her mother was arrested for the second time. That was when Kidwell/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s oldest sister, who had just graduated high school herself, adopted her./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cI never had to worry with my sister,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d Kidwell says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cIt made me realize what a safe, loving home should be./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

Despite the chaos and turmoil of her childhood, Kidwell had a reliable escape: her love of music. Where playing tuba in her high school/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s marching band provided a creative outlet and an ingrained sense of structure and discipline, teaching music to younger students made her realize that she could use her passion to make a positive impact./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cYou never know the life someone leads,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d Kidwell says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cBut when you go into the band room, none of that exists. Band can be the reason why someone looks forward to school. It was for me, and I hope that as a music teacher I can give that to others./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

Going to college was an opportunity Kidwell never thought she/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019d have. Not because she didn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019t have the drive or work ethic, but because college seemed financially out of reach./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

Kidwell was sure she/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019d have to work a full-time job while at UCF. But with the rigors of the music education program and the extraordinary demands of performing in the marching band, where would she find the time?/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

One day, after practicing 10 hours during Marching Knights Band Camp, just before the start of the fall semester, Kidwell received the news that she had won a $25,000 scholarship from the Taking Flight Foundation./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cI was so exhausted, but after seeing that email, I was buzzing with excitement,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d she says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cI couldn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019t believe it./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

The Taking Flight Foundation Scholarship Fund, established on UCF Day of Giving 2024, provides $25,000 for an incoming freshman/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s first year, covering tuition, room and board, and other education-related expenses. Founded by Mark Norato, an entrepreneur and vice president of North American Partners in Anesthesia, the Taking Flight Foundation and Scholarship Fund were inspired by his mother /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2014 a single parent who worked two jobs while going back to school to better provide for her family./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

Let/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s celebrate all things Black & Gold this UCF Day of Giving /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2014 Thursday, April 10. Your support fuels the future for every Knight./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cIf anyone personifies what my mother was all about /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2014 which was the power of perseverance /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2014 it/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s Faith,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d Norato says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cThe purpose of this scholarship is to remove the hurdles embedded in someone/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s life /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2014 to help them see how far they could go if these barriers weren/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019t there./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

The scholarship, Kidwell says, has impacted her life in ways she could have never imagined. Aware of the dropout rate for first-year college students, she/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019s grateful that she can now focus on her studies, without having to worry about finances./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cIf I didn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019t have this [scholarship],/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d she says, /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cI wouldn/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019t be able to do the brass band outside 色花堂.

Kidwell says she saved the acceptance email of her admission into the UCF music program. The email came shortly after her audition, signed by Vasko, the instructor she studied with leading up to her audition./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n

It read: /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201cFaith, I/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019m so proud of you. That was a great audition and a fantastic representation of where you/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u2019re going./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/146028/n
