A mixture of disbelief and pride crossed the faces of most the 24 award recipients at the Prince William County Bar Association’s Beat the Odds banquet Wednesday, June 8.
All 24 Prince William County students were aware that they were receiving a scholarship or a laptop at the banquet held at Harbour View in Woodbridge. However, as they looked around they seemed surprised at the more than 250 people who attended to clap and cheer them on for beating the odds.
