Although I am very committed to pursuing my post-secondary goals, the privilege of going to college does not come without a cost, particularly attending medical school, which I am hoping to pursue after my undergraduate studies. I have decided to begin my college journey by attending North Central Michigan College in the fall of 2023 to earn my associate's degree in 2024, as it makes the most sense for me financially before transferring to a 4-year university. Paying for college is a task I must conquer by myself, and I am striving to afford my post-secondary education without going into any debt. This is why I have applied for scholarships like this one to fund my education. I believe earning this scholarship will not only allow me the assistance to pay for my upcoming fall and winter term classes but will also strengthen my ability to pursue an education that will help me better serve others. I am a passionate student, I will continue to be dedicated to my studies, and I thank generous donors for their support as I believe this scholarship will make a significant contribution to my involvement in continuing my education.
