Bio

My genuine care for the happiness of others has inspired me to pursue a career in the medical field. I am well aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but I am determined to overcome them. The opportunity to make a positive impact on those around me and being able to help them is a powerful motivator for me to continue ahead on this path. I am currently exploring my options for which university to attend, but I am determined to enroll in a four-year university. I aspire to be the first-generation student in my family to pursue higher education beyond high school. By accomplishing this, I hope to be able to repay my parents for all the sacrifices they have made for me to obtain my education and make my dreams a reality. I have discovered that my greatest passions are education, helping others, healthcare/medicine, and volunteering. Volunteering allows me to make a positive impact on the community, and I find fulfillment in knowing that my efforts are benefiting others. Engaging in volunteer work has made me realize the impact of even small contributions. I believe I am a strong candidate for scholarships because I am an optimistic, future-oriented individual full of promise. I aim to make a lasting impact on my community and those I care for, and potential scholarships will definitely make a difference in affording the education I need to achieve my goals and give back in the future. I don't view my obstacles as failures but as markers of my success, demonstrating my repeated perseverance through adversity.

      Anime Enthusiast Scholarship
      Passion. When you discover something that ignites a fire within you, you tend to hold onto it and dare not let go. Throughout our lifetime, we experience moments when we feel a burst of energy coursing through our veins, our blood pumping with excitement, while at the same time feeling as if we're bound to burst into tears from the combined emotions we feel. These are the moments when we know we've found our passion. Discovering anime has changed how I see the world in more ways than I can describe. It quickly became my passion, and it felt like a door had been opened to a part of my life I didn't know existed. Watching anime makes my heart race and stirs up indescribable emotions within me. Each anime I watch opens me up to new experiences and feelings that I don't find anywhere else. An anime that has truly captured my interest and brought me comfort during challenging times with its captivating, heartwarming, and comedy-filled storyline is Spy x Family. I found Spy x Family to be an incredibly easy-to-follow anime, hence why I consider it my comfort show and have watched it repeatedly. I was ecstatic when I discovered it and became captivated by its action-filled yet lighthearted plot. For some context, Spy x Family revolves around a little girl named Anya who can read minds. The story begins with a master spy named Twilight, who creates a family to assist in his mission to investigate a political leader. He adopts Anya, not knowing she is a telepath, and agrees to marry a woman named Yor, who is secretly a skilled assassin known as the Thorn Princess. The plot unfolds from there, filled with adorable, intriguing, and humorous episodes. I love Spy x Family, the heartwarming episodes and moments in the anime excite me to watch it. After discovering Spy x Family and finishing the first season, I couldn't wait for the next season to come out. When I finished watching the first season, I burst into tears. I cried not only because it was over, but also because I would miss the adorable family moments. I thought back to all the scenes where Anya and her family and friends interacted and developed their relationships. Spy x Family's ability to be wholesome and lighthearted is one of the reasons why the anime holds a special place in my heart. When I'm not feeling my best, I always turn to Spy x Family. Without a second thought, I open up my laptop and start rewatching the anime all over again. Spy x Family never fails to put a smile on my face when I didn't have one before. The show's hilarious interactions between the characters and situations, such as awkward encounters or adventures they go on, are times when I can't help but beam. It's not that the anime is entirely funny itself, but it makes me smile, and I don't even notice until my screen darkens at the end of each episode as the new one is about to start, and I see my reflection, my face with a huge smile on it. To summarize, an anime that has truly captured my interest and brought me comfort is Spy x Family. It has such a captivating, heartwarming, and comedy-filled storyline that it's been a real source of joy for me. I adore its action-filled nature, adding moments to the plot that make one truly admire the anime. I will never forget Spy x Family, and I hope to continue creating and feeling inexpressible memories with other anime.
