Alex Daley, a student at Acadia University, is a prime example of perseverance and perseverance. He, who tasted the bitter taste of loss at an early age, despite many hardships and challenges, took the ups and downs path and finally achieved remarkable success.

Deli's life story begins at the age of 10, when her mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Deli's family, who were in financial distress, had no other way but to be innovative and creative to cover the costs of treatment. Deli started making crafts with her little hands and her brother sells them on Facebook. The result of these efforts provided part of the mother's chemotherapy expenses.

But fate was cruel to Deli and his family. Two years later, Deli's mother died of cancer, and in the same year, one of Deli's brothers died in a car accident. At the age of 14, Deli tasted the bitter taste of losing his father and sank into deep sadness.

Despite these ordeals, Deli did not give up and was determined to continue living and make her family proud. Relying on his strong will, he continued his studies and finally graduated from Acadia University with a degree in business administration with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation.

But Deli wasn't just looking for a college degree. Inspired by his life experiences, he stepped on the path of entrepreneurship and founded a company called "Touching Hearts". The company aims to provide fair wages to Asian artisans and produce quality products.

In addition, Delly has an active presence in volunteer activities and as the president of Enactus Acadia, promotes social entrepreneurship in the community.

Deli's perseverance and efforts paid off, and she was selected as one of the eight recipients of the Frank H. Sobi scholarship worth $45,000. This scholarship is awarded to students studying business at Atlantic Canada universities who are academically and ethically outstanding.

Alex Daly's story is an inspiring example of hope and perseverance. He showed that despite difficulties and challenges, one can achieve one's goals and contribute to a better society.
