It was not a childhood to remember. Instead of laughing, playing and dreaming Petrina Amsden spent most of her time worrying, trying to elude the bullying she knew would come her way. If only she had someone to talk to, to encourage her and let her know she mattered. It is a feeling that has never left her, only now she’s fighting back; not with fists but with funds. She started a scholarship called iSparkle. The acronym stands for inclusion, support, protect, action, respect, kindness, lift and encourage.
