My name is Andrianna Yancy, I am a proud young African-American woman with a strong passion for leadership, service and healthcare. I’ve always seen myself as someone who leads with a purpose. Whether it is through volunteering, helping my community, or simply being someone others can look up to as I strive to be a positive example. Leadership is not just about taking charge, it’s about showing kindness and offering guidance in uplifting others. That’s who I am at my core.. a smart, kind and determined individual who wants to use her success to make a meaningful difference in the world. I am currently a student at Delaware State University, where I am working towards earning my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree. One of my biggest goals is to become a Pediatric nurse. Ever since I was young, I’ve had a deep interest in medicine, but more importantly, I’ve had a strong desire to help people — especially children. To me, children represent the future, and being able to care for them means playing a part in shaping what’s to come. Helping children heal, grow and thrive is not just a job I want— it is a purpose I am deeply compassionate about. Success is very important to me, but I’ve come to realize that it’s not just about your accomplishments, it is also about what you do with that success. My vision of success includes using the opportunities I earned to give back in every way I can. I want my impact to go beyond the hospital. Yes, I want to care for patients, but I also want to be active in my community. I hope to promote health awareness, provide education to families, and serve as a resource for those who may not have access to proper healthcare. In my career, I dream of building a happy, compassionate community, where kindness is a part of my daily life just like it is in my work. I want to create an environment both professionally and personally where people feel seen, heard and cared for. Whether it is comforting a child during a check-up or helping a family navigating illness, I want to be a source of support and light. Receiving this scholarship will bring me one step closer to turning that dream into reality. With financial support, I can continue focusing on my education and prepare myself to be the best nurse I can be for my patients, my community, and the future I believe in.

I'm Andrianna Yancy, a 17 year old African American with the passion of continual self-improvement and learning lovely new things that bring me inspiration. Especially for my future and about medicine. To start off with my answer, I would like to talk about what factors, options, knowledge and opinions that took place for me to fancy the idea of becoming a Nurse. The first thing that made me so attentive on pursuing a medical career and even more as I got older was the different types of medicines and medical practices. There is herbal medicine which comes from the earth that is naturally provided to us and can be made at home. Then, there is general medicine which is made by pharmaceutical scientist and given from either a pharmacy or directly from a doctor. For medical practices there are things like Private Practice, Group practice, Hospital employment and Locum Tenens. Each medical practice has its own style and benefit that comes along with it to help me set up which type of Nurse I would like to be in my field. My choice as of now is to do private practice or group practice because it falls in line with my leadership style. In my opinion, I believe that herbal medicine is the best option for me, but many people may think otherwise and that's ok. I believe this because of the natural benefits that herbal medicine comes with. It is different from general medicine because it doesn't cause as many symptoms or hurts the body in the process of healing it. However, as I pursue my career as a Pediatric Nurse I will be working with general medicine, but my opinion does not have to change. As a nurse, I could recommend herbal remedies if any families look for alternatives or have similar interest. In the pursuit of my career goals, I am dedicated to becoming a Pediatric Nurse through the attainment of a Bachelor’s Science in Nursing Degree(BSN). My objective extends beyond the realms of healthcare as I aim to play a crucial role in shaping the future. I will focus on nurturing the well-being of children and I aspire to instill strength and resilience in them. By providing care infused with kindness and compassion, I believe in fostering a foundation that empowers the younger generation. Recognizing that children are the bedrock of the future, I am committed to ensuring their early years are marked by both physical well-being and emotional fortitude. This is how I plan on making a positive impact on the world through my medical career.
