My name is Temiloluwa Okelowo Francis, and I hail from Lagos State, Nigeria in West Africa. I grew up in Lagos state where things aren’t as rosy as they are in the United states. Growing up, a major challenge in the country was stable electricity;. As a young aspiring youth,
I became inspired to make a change in my country for good. I aspire to become an electrical engineer in order to solve the electricity shortage problems in my country. I have traveled all the way from West Africa to come to the United States of America to get the best possible education with the hope of acquiring the skills to save my country from this embarrassment. In my quest to gain knowledge that can solve my country’s problem, I have encountered some hurdles like cultural differences, language differences, and most importantly financial restraints. As a foreigner that seeks knowledge, I am required to pay out-of-state tuition which is a great percentage higher than in-state tuition. Although it is understandable that the country regards people like me as tourists or as I say “legal aliens”, I think the difference is a little inconsiderate. For a country like mine whose currency doesn’t mean much in dollars, it will take a lot to pay the out-of-state tuition. Nevertheless, I am passionate about the end goal of bringing uninterrupted power supply to my nation.
In Durham Technical community college, I am enrolled in the Associates in Engineering program. I am enrolled in this program because of how passionate I am about solving not just the dominant challenge of my country but also impacting the world with my knowledge. A good way to describe me would be someone who derives pleasure in solving people’s problems and putting a smile on their faces to the best of my ability. After Durham Tech, I plan on going to either North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University or Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study electrical engineering. These schools are appealing to me because they are known to produce the best of the best engineers that the country has to offer. As someone who is
interested in solving a country’s challenge, it is imperative that I am groomed by the best. On completion of these goals that I have set for myself, I would love to have a Master’s degree in electrical engineering to solidify my grounds in the field. After all my academic goals have been met, I would head back to my home country Nigeria to begin what I believe I am made to do.
This scholarship would greatly help me concentrate on my studies. Given the financial cost of earning degrees and the limitations of working as an international student, it is highly unlikely that I will achieve my dream. There aren’t many scholarships in place for people like me to further our education, so I would be greatly honored if I am awarded this scholarship. This scholarship is one that can make the journey to achieving my dream easier, and perhaps a sign that I am not on the wrong track but on the path to greatness.
