Greetings to all the generous donors at Bold.org! My name is Ange Chedom, and I am a Cameroonian-American who proudly embraces my bilingualism in both French and English. My journey brought me from Cameroon to the United States in 2016, where I have been fervently pursuing my life goals. The ambitions that hold a special place in my heart are owning a business and practicing as a doctor, specializing in both general medicine and Ophthalmology. Alongside these aspirations, I possess an innate passion for computer science and the ever-evolving field of technology. In today's world, our eyes are constantly exposed to screens, fueling my desire to become an Ophthalmologist who could cater to this modern necessity. Simultaneously, I dream of becoming a software and hardware engineer driven by my ardent love for electronics. As such, I firmly believe that I am an ideal candidate for scholarships provided by Bold.org due to my unwavering determination to work tirelessly toward a bright and secure future. Securing even just one scholarship would not only make me proud but also relieve the financial burden faced by my parents as they have worked so hard to provide me and my siblings with adequate college funds for a better future. It is with great sincerity that I request Bold.org scholarship donors to consider supporting me in my educational journey, thereby lessening the financial load on my loving family.

Life has a way of presenting challenges that test our resilience and determination. For me, one of the most significant obstacles I faced was the journey to graduate high school at the age of 16 amidst a lack of moral support and understanding from those around me.
From a young age, I harbored a burning ambition to excel academically and pursue my dreams with unwavering determination. However, as I embarked on this journey, I encountered skepticism and misunderstanding from peers, educators, and even some family members. Their doubts and lack of support cast a shadow of uncertainty over my aspirations, challenging me in ways I never imagined.
Navigating through this adversity required a blend of inner strength, perseverance, and the support of a few key individuals who believed in me when others did not. Despite the skepticism and discouragement I faced, I refused to let negativity deter me from my goals. Instead, I channeled my frustration into fuel for my determination, vowing to prove the naysayers wrong and carve out my path to success.
At the heart of my support system was my own unwavering belief in myself and my abilities. I recognized that my worth and potential were not defined by the opinions of others, but rather by my own dedication and perseverance. This realization served as a guiding light through the darkest moments, empowering me to press onward despite the challenges that lay ahead.
Additionally, I found solace and encouragement in the support of a select few individuals who stood by me through thick and thin. Whether it was a trusted friend who offered a listening ear or a mentor who provided invaluable guidance, their unwavering belief in my abilities served as a source of strength and inspiration.
Moreover, I learned to draw inspiration from the stories of resilience and perseverance shared by individuals who overcame similar obstacles in pursuit of their dreams. Their journeys served as a reminder that adversity, though daunting, could be conquered with resilience and determination.
Through this journey, I learned invaluable lessons about the power of self-belief, perseverance, and the importance of cultivating a strong support system. I realized that adversity, though challenging, could be transformed into an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Moreover, I learned the importance of surrounding myself with individuals who uplifted and encouraged me, rather than those who sought to tear me down.
Today, as I reflect on the challenges overcome and the lessons learned, I am filled with gratitude for the resilience that carried me through. While the journey may have been fraught with obstacles and uncertainties, it ultimately shaped me into the resilient individual I am today—a testament to the transformative power of perseverance and self-belief in the face of adversity.
In conclusion, overcoming the challenge of graduating high school at 16 with limited moral support was a defining moment in my journey. It taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, perseverance, and the importance of surrounding myself with individuals who uplift and encourage me. Through determination and unwavering self-belief, I navigated through adversity to achieve success, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.
WCEJ Thornton Foundation Low-Income Scholarship
Title: Embracing Challenges: My Journey to Success
Graduating high school at the age of 16 and immediately starting college stands as my proudest accomplishment to date. This pivotal experience has been transformative, teaching me invaluable lessons about resilience, self-belief, and the power of pursuing one's passions.
At a young age, I learned to trust in my abilities and embrace challenges head-on. Despite being younger than my peers, I refused to let age define my potential. Instead, I focused on working tirelessly to achieve my goals, demonstrating that determination knows no age limit. This journey instilled in me a deep sense of self-confidence and empowerment, proving that with dedication and perseverance, any obstacle can be overcome.
Moreover, this experience taught me the importance of staying true to myself amidst external pressures and opinions. Throughout my academic journey, there were moments of doubt and skepticism from others. However, I quickly realized that seeking validation from external sources was futile. Instead, I learned to tune out negativity and focus solely on my aspirations and passions. This mindset shift not only strengthened my resolve but also reaffirmed my belief in the power of self-validation and authenticity.
Looking towards the future, my ambitions are both ambitious and attainable. I aspire to pursue a double major in computer science and medicine, fueled by a deep-seated passion for innovation and healthcare. This interdisciplinary approach reflects my diverse interests and my commitment to making a meaningful impact in multiple fields. By combining my expertise in technology with a profound understanding of healthcare, I aim to contribute to groundbreaking advancements that positively impact society.
However, beyond academic and career pursuits, my ultimate goal is personal fulfillment and autonomy. I envision a future where I have the freedom to chart my own path, overcome obstacles with resilience, and emerge victorious in every endeavor. Whether it's navigating the complexities of academia, achieving career milestones, or fostering personal growth, I am committed to embracing challenges with unwavering determination and enthusiasm.
In summary, my journey is characterized by a relentless pursuit of excellence, resilience in the face of adversity, and a steadfast commitment to making a difference. With every challenge encounter, I emerge stronger and more determined to achieve my goals. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story and aspirations, and I am confident that with perseverance and resilience, I will continue to strive toward a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.

New Beginnings Immigrant Scholarship
Hello, my name is Ange Chedom, I am from Cameroun. My dreams are multifaceted, weaving together aspirations of owning a business, practicing as a doctor specializing in general medicine and ophthalmology, and delving into the dynamic world of computer science. The intersection of these passions has led me to envision a future where I serve as an ophthalmologist addressing the visual strain imposed by modern screens while contributing to the tech industry as a software and hardware engineer.
My journey, however, is not without its challenges, and the greatest obstacle my family faced upon arriving in the United States was the financial strain. My parents, who had sacrificed everything for the well-being and educational future of my siblings and me, faced the daunting task of providing for us in a new and unfamiliar environment. My father, carrying a wound on his foot that was even older than mine, chose to prioritize our future over his health. Instead of seeking medical attention for himself, he utilized the limited resources to bring us to the United States, where the promise of a brighter future awaited.
Upon our arrival, my parents were met with the harsh reality of working tirelessly to make ends meet. Undeterred by the financial challenges, they demonstrated unwavering resilience by re-entering the educational sphere, despite facing skepticism and mockery from others. Their sacrifices and determination became the bedrock of my commitment to academic excellence and personal growth.
This pivotal experience has profoundly shaped my character and aspirations. My family's financial burdens instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and gratitude. It fueled my determination to excel academically, recognizing that education is a personal pursuit and a collective effort to uplift those who have invested in my future.
As I stand at the intersection of medicine, technology, and entrepreneurship, I am acutely aware of education's transformative power. Every scholarship opportunity represents more than just financial assistance; it is an investment in a dream forged through resilience and sacrifice. My parents are on their way to the top, and as their daughter, I shall do even more than them to represent them.
In conclusion, my journey from Cameroon to the United States has been one of overcoming adversity, propelled by my parents' sacrifices and my unyielding belief in the transformative power of education. I humbly request the support of Bold.org scholarship donors to contribute to my educational journey, allowing me to honor the sacrifices of my family and pursue a future where I can make meaningful contributions to both the medical and technological realms.

Sammy Meckley Memorial Scholarship
It really is my utmost pleasure to introduce myself as Ange Danielle Chedom Machegah, or so they thought, which is quite significant. Engaging in community service has not only for the most part contributed to my sort of personal growth, but it for all intents and purposes has also made a sort of basically positive impact on others in a really sort of big way, or so they thought. I strongly particularly believe that community service specifically holds immense value in terms of bringing happiness and raising awareness among individuals and communities, for all intents and purposes contrary to popular belief, or so they thought. Moreover, it alleviates stress levels by offering assistance and support, which particularly is significant in a subtle way. In today's society, it is crucial for communities to foster particularly strong connections and particularly promote socialization, and community service paves the way for just that in a pretty particularly big way. Currently, I generally am actively involved in various community service projects sort of for all intents and purposes such as distributing resources to particular kinds of local food banks, volunteering as a trainer in schools, and organizing various initiatives focused on food distribution, or so they for the most part thought in a major way. These activities aid me in developing an understanding of the importance of computer science and the medical field, both of which I particularly aspire to for the most part pursue in the future in a big way in a particularly major way. Attaining degrees in these fields would equip me with valuable skills to offer to others, thereby enabling them to make practical use of those skills, generally fairly contrary to popular belief in a subtle way. Additionally, obtaining these degrees would mostly allow me to essentially provide affordable healthcare services to those in need, while simultaneously gaining relevant expertise in the healthcare industry, which is fairly significant, or so they thought. The financial support of this scholarship would serve as a stepping stone toward realizing my ambitions, which is fairly significant, or so they particularly thought. Coming from a family that has faced significant hardships to kind of mostly reach our current levels, this scholarship not only benefits me but also supports my fairly primary community, my family, by alleviating the financial burden associated with sending a first-generation student to college, which is fairly significant, or so they generally thought.

One of those times when I was contributing to my community when I was volunteering at a food bank, it impacted me in such a way that I am always researching how to help others before myself, which most of the time I have been told is not so much of a good habit. But because even a small change can impact someone's life, it brings joy and hope into my heart about today's world. It proves to me that I should change for the better as well as set an example for those around me for a better world.
