Bold PointsBio
Hello, my name is Brandon and I believe that I am the ideal candidate for your scholarship because I am a well-rounded person. I dabble in volunteer work within my college and church campus while maintaining good academic standing within my courses. I also take time to participate in my school's club organizations, such as Student Government Association as the Freshman Senator and the Student Hall Council as the floor representative. I am currently studying at the University of North Carolina of Greensboro and majoring in Park and Recreation Management with a minor in American Sign Language. I hope to use my bachelor's degree to achieve my goal of becoming an occupational therapist and eventually open a private practice where I can promote other students that want to work in the field of healthcare.

Bold Deep Thinking Scholarship
The biggest problem that is facing our world right now is the coronavirus pandemic. This pandemic has claimed so many lives all around the world and has been a burden upon many people's social lives. In my opinion, society could have prevented all of the horrific effects that came with COVID-19 arriving. I feel that the most ideal thing that could cease the effects of this pandemic would be going into another federally enforced quarantine. During the period that people all around the world had gone into quarantine, the effects of the virus had collectively decreased while carbon-dioxide emissions decreased with the small usage of gas-powered vehicles. But it is quite understandable that people would not want to go back into that state of living. There were so many people complaining about being forced to stay at home, even though they did not want to consider the great good that it had upon them. Therefore instead of proposing a mass quarantine, which I feel that would be the greatest solution. The most ideal form of problem-solving that I can offer up to society would be the federally enforced mask mandate. With a new reinforced mask mandate, people will continue to prevent excess germs transversing between various people, especially when a great number of people gather together. Rather than continuing the usage of any regular cloth mask, I propose that all people become required to wear the KN95 mask that has been proven to prevent most germs from spreading. To do this I propose that the government distribute the KN95 mask that is to be given to everyone, considering that this mandate will be enforced by them.
