Mariel Thompson thought her mom’s phone was hacked. “It was 10 o’clock in the morning and I was at work. She kept calling and texting me messages like ‘Mariel, answer the phone,’ and sounding really excited and I thought for sure her phone got hacked.” When Thompson returned her mom’s call, she found out the reason for all of the excitement – she’d won the DRI Foundation college scholarship for undergrads.
