Being a woman in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is both a privilege and a challenge. On the one hand, it's exciting to be part of a field that's driving innovation and transforming the world we live in. On the other hand, there are still too few women in STEM, and the obstacles we face can be daunting. One area of STEM that I've always been passionate about is computer coding. I love the logic, creativity, and problem-solving that coding requires. Whether it's building a website, creating an app, or writing a script, coding is like a puzzle that you get to solve over and over again. And the more you learn, the more possibilities open up. At the same time, I also care deeply about the environment. I believe that we have a responsibility to take care of the planet, and that technology can play a big role in that. From renewable energy to sustainable agriculture, there are so many ways that we can use our skills in STEM to create a better future for ourselves and the generations to come. However, pursuing a career in STEM is not always easy, especially when it comes to paying for college. The cost of tuition, textbooks, and living expenses can be prohibitive. This is where scholarships can make a huge difference in my life.
