1. In addition to playing for the women's golf team, I also serve on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at my university. In my spare time, as vice president of this committee, I like to volunteer in the Kingsville community and hang out with my fellow student athletes. In addition to SAAC, I am also a member of the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Golf Association (historian) and the Javelina Marketing Association. My week is filled with a lot of activities in addition to my daily practice schedule, but because it's beneficial to my mental health, I also like to make time for family , the gym, and social hangouts with my friends. 2. I am currently in my third year of my undergraduate degree in Marketing. I was drawn to the field of marketing because it offers an entry into a diverse range of career options within a rapidly growing industry. I want to continue my education by pursuing a master's degree in either international business or sports/social media marketing after receiving my bachelor's degree. Being a native Spanish speaker, I would love to work for a multinational corporation or in the sports industry to further demonstrate my capabilities. During my college career, one of the biggest opportunities I had was participating in the PGA works Collegiate Championship where I connected with a lot of companies that are looking for minority students like myself to help them with their job search. Because of this, I've been able to connect with companies that will help me reach my goals after college. 3. As I previously stated, SAAC has given me a lot of opportunities in order to assist people in my community. In the Kingsville area, poverty is the norm for most families. As an athletic department, we a have a minimum of 10 hours of community service in which I have helped at a local animal shelter to walk and care for the dogs in need of homes. Additionally, SAAC requires that there be a minimum of two significant community events held each semester, during which we gather holiday gifts, food, and clothing for low-income households. Since many people in our town struggle to make ends meet, we came together and formed connections to help those in need. We provided assistance to about 400 families last semester with the support of local churches and food banks. 4. It is impossible for me to exaggerate the importance of this financial aid, so I wanted to express how much this scholarship would mean to my family and I. Receiving this scholarship would free my parents from having to worry about paying for mine and my brother's tuition starting next fall. It would give me the tools and the encouragement that I need in order to devote myself entirely to my studies, golf game, and my overall goals for my senior year. I would be able to concentrate on my academic goals and realize my full potential without having to worry about any financial restrictions. In addition to its monetary value, this scholarship has a significant symbolic meaning for me. It represents the power I hold as not only a first-time college student, but the endless dedication I have put into my studies and my game since my family and I moved to the states for a better life.
