Jorian Kuran Harris (Shugg) Helping Heart Foundation Scholarship

Me being a student who dreams of becoming a dentist, I am aware of the financial load that comes with pursuing a profession in healthcare. I'm aware of the high cost of dental school, and many students are forced to take out significant loans to fund their education. So I believe a scholarship would help me achieve my goal of becoming a pediatric dentist. Receiving a scholarship would lessen some of the struggles that come with paying for dental school. As a recipient of this scholarship. I would have the ability to focus more on my studies and clinical work without the worry of tuition and living costs. Which would allow me to focus more on my education and increase my chances of succeeding. A scholarship would provide me with the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, internships and more that can enhance my education and career prospects. I would be able to explore a variety of opportunities that would enhance my education with the financial support of a scholarship. I believe that winning this scholarship would give me confidence. It would be a great recognition of my academic achievements and serve as a motivation to continue striving for excellence. I know when I win or receive awards it gives me the mindset to keep going. I recall a time when I would break down and give up because of frustration with Math, a subject that I struggle with. I realized that this was a subject that I needed to spend extra time on so that I could understand without my notes. Over the years I've learned to push myself and build my confidence when it comes to something I struggle with. I knew though, that I couldn't let my frustration get the best of me. With that faith and prayer, I am now passing math classes with an 80 or higher grade average, which I would not have achieved without God's assistance. Today I am confident that with Faith, I am capable of accomplishing far more than I previously imagined. My experiences taught me the importance of endurance, the power of prayer and the significance of asking for help when required. It also advises me that everyone has their strength and weaknesses, and it is critical not to compare oneself to others, which is something I frequently do. Instead, we should focus on our development and progress, and we should have trust in our ability to attain our goals.
