The Attorney Rick Merrill Dream Scholarship
The Dream Scholarship was started in 2016 to help support the dreams of a current high school or college student looking to make a difference through the pursuit of their passion.
Applicants were asked to submit a picture with a caption that in combination shares their dream and shows how it makes a difference.
Each year we present a $1500 scholarship to applicant who provides the most creative photo or image with a caption to explain their dream.
2020 Winner Shelvina Singh
This is a picture of my Papa’s last day on earth. His hand is on the bottom (past), mine is the middle hand (present) and my son on top (future). This picture represents 3 generations.
Growing up I always wanted to be able to help everyone and if I saw someone sad it would make me sad. My dad always wanted me to do something that would benefit others but life had other plans for me. Now I am 31 years old and back in college to pursue my dream to be a nurse. I know how much it would make my dad proud. I got my high school diploma at 30 years old and now on my way to a nursing degree.
The reason I chose this picture is because my dad holds my past, I am my present and my son is our future. My son is the reason I got it together and went back to college to get my degree. This hasn’t been an easy journey with everything that is going on at the moment but I know the day I get my degree my Papa will be so very proud of me.
Congratulations to our Winner.
We wish you well in your efforts to become a Registered Nurse.
Special Thank you.
This year we would like to thank Mary and Bruce Nemeth and Mr. Hur for partnering with Rick Merrill to provide this scholarship.

Ricks First Wheels…
Was a 1959 Ford. I bought my first truck from my father when I was 16 years old for $300.
We would like to share with you some of the cool stories that were entered.
Brandon-1976 Datsun 280Z. A friend of mine got a 1975 280Z for his 16th birthday which his dad painted and customized. He took me on a ride in it and I was searching Craigslist that night. Not even a week later, I had arranged to drive to Tacoma and meet a guy selling a 280Z that wasn’t running. We brought a battery and some gas and drove it back to Everett without issue! I’ve done a lot of work (and spent way too much money) on it in the 7 years that I’ve owned it, but I learned a lot and met some great people in that time.
Margie-1968 Ford Fairlane wagon, baby blue 🙂 .. I bought it myself with babysitting money. $250
Isaiah-1986 Lincoln town car pearl white red interior boss 302. Used it to get to work as a flagger for 6 months.
Maksim-2007 Audi A4. Rick had me covered in court when I wrecked it 🙂
Jennifer– Bought my first car from my mom, who bought it from my great grandma. It was a 1987 Nissan Sentra. Bright red, my great grandma bought it off the showroom floor in 1987! My friends nicknamed the car Snail, and it was very fitting!
Vanessa-1977 Ford Mustang Cobra. Just like the one in the 1970s Charlie’s Angel’s TV show but black with gold stripes. My dad took out the stock 302 and put a 351 Windsor. IT was a traffic ticket magnet.
Jenica-My first car was a brown and orange Ford Pinto. I’m not sure what year it was. I was a senior in high school and we bought it from our neighbors for $500. I was so excited to have my own car! I only had it for a few months when I was driving on the freeway and the engine blew. I barely made it off the exit and had it parked on the side of the road overnight. We returned to have it towed the next day and a semi-trunk hadn’t seen it and backed into it and crushed the front end. That was the end of my car.
Rick Presented our drawing winners with a $100 Gas Card.
Tami-My first car was Toyota Corolla that I worked all summer at a used car lot to buy.
MaryAnn-1964 Chevy Nova.

2019 Winners
My name is Jack Gardner, and my dream is to write children’s books that inspire kids to think differently about the world, to let their imaginations fly beyond where our “grownup” minds can take us. I realized that I had the ability to incite this feeling in other people through my writing.
When I was 12 years old my teacher gave us an assignment to write and illustrate a picture book to be presented in class. I entitled mine The Biggelow.
I’m currently a student at EVCC in the running start program. I’m excited to take English and Literature classes that will help me a better writer.
Runner Up Winners
We are ecstatic to support our Runner up winner Isabel Hulme with her dream of becoming a Dentist!
My dream is to have a pediatric dental practice kids will love coming to. I want to create positive dental experiences, so as they grow up they aren’t afraid to see a dentist.
We are ecstatic to support our Runner up winner Natalie Grimm with her dream of becoming a Nurse!
That nurse who advocated. That nurse who went the extra mile. I met that nurse in the Swedish ICU. I strive to be that nurse. With every exam, lecture, paper, and clinical experience I move closer to my dream.
We are ecstatic to support our Runner up winner Alexa Kazen with her dream of becoming a Speech Pathologist!
My dream of becoming a speech pathologist is important to me because I see the chance to make a difference in children’s confidence and communication skills. I look forward to being a part of children’s lives as they learn to communicate more clearly and easily!
We are ecstatic to support our Runner up winner MacKenzie Allinson with her dream of becoming a Physician!
I’ve always been interested in how the human body works. It is my goal to become a physician who treats others with respect and assists in providing effective treatment that improves people’s lives.
2018 Winners
We are ecstatic to support Casey Benson with her dream-Geneticist
Seeing people, like one of these children, suffer every day from disease inspires me to become a geneticist. Genetics has the potential to positively affect the quality of life in our society . This dream is important to me, because of the potential to cure diseases and perhaps destructive habits and addictions. I am working to change the lives of all people through advancements in genetics.
We are ecstatic to support June Chang with her dream- Psychology and Economics
This statue shows a grandchild with his grandfather sitting on a bench, expressing feelings of love and familial bond represents what many are hoping for: love, acceptance, healing, and strength in times of adversity.
I want to help others discover their capabilities and potential. I hope to open my own private practice, find ways to end the marginalization of mental illnesses, better an individual’s life, and encourage resources that help those in need.
Runner up winners
We are ecstatic to support Hannah Hitterdal with her dream-Criminal Justice and Sociology
I have a passion to change the correctional facilities to help inmates. I believe that giving the inmates an education, a highschool diploma or a higher education degree, is an effective way of setting them up on the right foot. Animal Therapy has been proven to be one of the most effective ways of rehabilitating inmates. They train animals for many purposes and give them back to the community they hurt.
We are ecstatic to support Nora Dennelly with her dream- Harpist
I am pursuing my dream not only because it is what I love. I plan to attend Western Washington University in the Fall of 2018 where I will study under Jill Whitman and major in Music Performance on the harp.
We are ecstatic to support Corrine Booth with her dream- Choir Teacher
My dream is to go to college for the music education program to be a choir director.
Nursing homes have always had a special place in my heart so at the end of every month, we go sing for them. Nothing makes me smile more than when an elder grabs my hand after performing and tells me how thankful they are. Using my talents to brighten someone’s day brings me so much joy.
We are ecstatic to support Ruth Culbertson with her dream- Music Teacher
My dream after college is to become a music teacher. I have a passion for music as well as for working with youth. Working with kids can be very rewarding and provides many fun moments that shape students’ lives in a positive and exciting way! This is just one of many examples.
We are ecstatic to support Emma Raker with her dream- Music Teacher
Dreams do come true and I cannot wait for those dreams to happen. As a Music Teacher, I want to make a lasting impact in my future student’s lives. I hope to inspire them to make the world a better place, while educating them on musicianship and the values that I have been taught through my music teachers
My ultimate goal is to take a group of students to play at Carnegie Hall, just as I had the opportunity to because playing there greatly fostered my passion of music.
We are ecstatic to support Kayla Sprague with her dream- Computer Science and Software Engineering
I stared at my dad’s computer monitor, an unplugged computer keyboard in my reach. From toddler to adulthood, video games have given me the opportunity to be an adventurer fueled by curiosity and the desire to learn. I have embarked on my path with an insatiable fascination with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality to motivate me.
If videogames have taught me anything, it is that where there is a will, there is a way. I am fortunate enough to have learned that in a high chair.
2017 Winners
2017 Winner Megan LaVelle- Photographer
My dream is to be a photographer who travels the world. I have loved photography and traveling since I was a little kid.

I want to take photos that will make people want to change things in the world
Our Runner-Up Winners
Joshua Allinson Dream- Musical Theater
Heels Can Be Dangerous! As a performer I hope to bring joy and entertainment into the lives of others. I feel that I can improve the lives of others through my life as a singer and theatrical artist.
Loryn Casey Dream-Anesthesiologist
My dream is important to me because, If people do not feel comfortable in a medical environment, they will not seek care, which could have devastating consequences. I want to be like my anesthesiologist; not remembered for my name, but instead for how I made the patients feel when they were vulnerable.
Sarah DeYoung Dream- Genetics
In my hands, I hold my future, the link to get me the internships that will lead me into a genetics company. I wish to help improve the future of this species. Feed the animal, and help feed the people. The time is now to start the change that will take a lifetime to grow.
