Gratitude

July 2024

Caio Moyano de Almeida started his education at Ensign College before his mission. When he came home, he received an Ensign College Comeback Scholarship and resumed his studies at Ensign. Moyano de Almeida graduated in April 2024 with his associate’s degree in business management. Now, with the support of an Academic Merit Scholarship from Ensign, he is working toward a bachelor’s degree in accounting. 

He loves that Ensign is a small school because it allows him to have one-on-one conversations with his professors and even lets him see President and Sister Kusch on campus. He explains, “Every time I run into President and Sister Kusch on campus, which is a lot, I go by and I say hi to them, and I think they recognize me. I don’t know any other place where the school president would know you and rec¬ognize you.” Since coming home from his mission, Moyano de Almeida has seen some of his professors from before his mission and they still remember who he is. He loves feeling that he matters and that peo¬ple are watching out and caring for him, especially since he lives far away from family.

Moyano de Almeida thanks everyone who has donated to Ensign. “I have such gratitude and admiration for the donors of Ensign,” he says. “The impact they’re having on me is not going to end with me. There will be other students after me, and as I become a successful student and a successful employee in the future, I have the opportunity to impact other people. I want to follow the donors’ example. Thank you!”
