I have had a very low income up bringing and wish to break free of this currency problems. I am determined to achieve my goals because they will help me escape the previously mentioned problem and not have to worry about it for basically the rest of my life. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get there and think this scholarship would help me.
I want to be able to give back to the world by helping children overcome some of the toughest situations they'll ever have to face in their lives. I broke my collarbone when I was younger, and I remember the support I got from the doctor as he helped me deal with the pain. I hope to one day be able to help in the same way as that doctor

I'd like to become a dermatologist to save people from their damaging mistakes from their past, such as tanning beds. These are known to be bad, but saving people from them would be a better alternative to counteracting the fight. I'd like to educate people on how to take better care of their skin as well.

I want to be an art therapist. I struggled with depression and almost died because of it. I discovered art as a way to fight my demons. I want to give people that same courage I found. Plus, there's nothing like screaming at a canvas and throwing paint all over it!

Injustice & cruelty are so prominent in the world right now & it sickens me. I want to become a lawyer because I want to fight for people who are oppressed within society, such as minorities & homeless. I firmly believe everyone deserves to be as happy as they allow themselves to be, & I want to help them achieve that by fighting for their rights.

My mother passed from kidney cancer in 2011. I want to go to school to start my own business and non profit in order to find a cure. Medical bills were hard on my family and I want to start a non profit that strives to cure cancer as well as donates to those affected by the results of cancer. Being given this opportunity would mean the world to me.

Teaching and guiding people really make most of my days. I want today's generation to learn and understand that we all can learn from each other. Everyone is a teacher at heart, and we're all learners too. The saying "you learn something new everyday" is key in my everyday life. I especially want it to be in other's as well.

Using petroleum for a source of energy has many adverse effects on the environment. We need petroleum for reasons other than energy like making synthetic materials and plastics. Nuclear fusion is also safer, more efficient, and cleaner than other sources of energy. I want to make the world a place that has sustainable energy for centuries.
