Let's take a moment to step back and reflect on what the world has become today. In the state of California alone, crime rates have significantly increased, and as a resident, I have witnessed and fallen victim to these acts firsthand. This indicates that the probability of crimes will not only grow but also continue to put individuals at risk. Now, imagine a world in which the power of science can be used to catch criminals in less than a week, delinquency is nonexistent, and safety and security are the new norms. That's the gift that I'm working tirelessly to achieve as I aspire to become a pioneer in the field of forensic science and the first in my family to obtain a degree. My strong passion for science has driven me to pursue a degree in this field, which will fulfill my passion and help bring closure to families affected by heinous acts. According to the Department of Justice website, homicide rates climbed by around 24% between 2017 and 2022. This alarming trend calls for immediate action, which I'm determined to contribute to by using my scientific knowledge and skills. Furthermore, I believe that my science degree will allow me to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to adopt preventive measures and create a safer environment for all. My ultimate goal is to use my education and experience to serve justice and make a difference in the field of law enforcement. As a Hispanic American woman, I've had to deal with several instances of colorism that society has imposed on me. For many, I'm too Hispanic to be American, while others think my complexion is too light to be Latina. My parents, on the other hand, have witnessed the worst of it, including abusive comments, unjust treatment, and attempts to humiliate them simply because of their accents. Though it's difficult to endure racism, my parents always advised me to keep my head up. Therefore, these experiences served me well; they not only motivated me to always stay resilient but also sparked a burning desire in me to prove others wrong. By being the first to acquire a degree in my family, I could finally achieve a sense of accomplishment and gratification for my hard-working parents. Unfortunately, my family's financial needs have increased this year due to my parents' reduced working hours. As a result, we are struggling to accumulate enough money for my college education. This financial burden has inspired me to actively seek scholarships, grants, and part-time jobs to alleviate the strain on my family's finances. This has not only taught me the value of hard work, and perseverance but also allowed me to develop important skills that will help me in my future career. Despite the challenges and uncertainties, I remain optimistic about my future and the possibilities that lie ahead. Overall, I want to use my degree to benefit not only the community but the entire world. I believe that applying what I'll learn at my university can have a positive impact on society and help to improve the criminal justice system as a whole. Whether through research, innovation, or volunteering, I'm dedicated to using my degree to make the world a better place for everyone. As technology advances, the purpose of forensic science will expand, and I encourage future generations to consider careers in this exciting and rewarding field. Forensic science is more than just a career path; it is a path that can truly impact the lives of others. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my application and for considering it.

There needs to be a change in how society responds to the problems of the disadvantaged. As someone who has seen the difficulties of poverty firsthand, I can tell you that it is not just a matter of how society acts on the issue; it is also about government spending. Government spending is critical in addressing the problems of the underprivileged. Society can provide the necessary support and opportunities for those in need by distributing more resources to social welfare programs, education, and healthcare. Furthermore, changing societal attitudes and cultivating empathy for the underprivileged can lead to a more inclusive and compassionate society in which everyone has equal opportunities to thrive. I see the government spending billions and trillions of dollars on things like military equipment, border security, and social security. However, if the same urgency and value were directed at those who are less fortunate, I believe there would be far fewer issues to address. Investing in social welfare programs, homelessness, and healthcare can improve the lives of the disadvantaged while also addressing the root causes of inequality. Governments can create a more equitable society in which individuals have access to essential resources and opportunities for upward mobility by prioritizing these areas. This shift in focus would not only address immediate issues, but also help promote long-term social and economic development. After putting a lot of thought into this issue, I hope to be able to give back to the less advanced after I achieve my goal of becoming a forensic scientist. I intended to work hand in hand with law enforcement and medical organizations to solve crimes and bring closure to families affected by heinous acts. I also hope to contribute to the development of new technologies using math and science techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of forensic investigations. In the end, I want to use my education and experience to advance justice and have a positive influence on both the world and the field of law enforcement. However, this year my family's financial needs have increased because my parent's working hours have significantly diminished. As a result, we are struggling to accumulate enough money for my college education. This financial burden has motivated me to actively seek scholarships, grants, and part-time jobs to alleviate the strain on my family's finances. I am determined to overcome this obstacle and pursue my passion for forensic investigations, as I believe it is a field where I can truly make a difference and contribute to society. Once I have enough stability, I would love to start a non-profit homeless program after achieving my career goal, and hope to build homes for the less fortunate. For many people, there isn't enough help because it has unfair processing or isn't local enough for those all over. Therefore, I would use the money and contacts I have gathered over the years to ensure a welcoming and efficient community for those less fortunate. I truly believe that everyone deserves a second chance in life, as well as the opportunity to thrive and have a safe place to call home. Obtaining scholarships and financial aid will allow me to take a step closer to achieving those goals and eventually giving back to those who need it the most. I am grateful for the opportunity to apply for this scholarship and promise to use it to its fullest potential. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

In life, I have many aspirations, but one stands out above all others: to buy my parents their first home. My family and I lived in an apartment for sixteen years, until we couldn't stand it any longer. During the last four years of living in that apartment, we, unfortunately, had some awful neighbors who enjoyed making our lives miserable. From banging on the walls to insulting us and not letting us sleep, they made our home feel like a hotel. We couldn't afford to move anywhere else on my father's salary alone, so my mother was forced to look for work. As a result, I was left with the responsibility of caring for my six-year-old sister at the time. For the next three years, I walked two miles every day to pick up my sister from school because my mother was unable to do so. I would often see other parents waiting for their children in their cars or at the school gate while I patiently waited for my sister to come out of her classroom. It was tiring and challenging, but I knew that I had to do it for the sake of our family's well-being. Even during quarantine, I made sure to leave my home early to reach her school on time and walk the long mile back home with her. To this day, I still occasionally have to travel two miles to pick her up and drop her off. With that said, I wanted to highlight the one-of-a-kind connection immigrant families have. We would sacrifice anything for one another, prioritizing our families while also standing up for what is just and sincerely supporting one another. There's something special about our families that I haven't noticed in others. I believe our traditions and culture contribute to the unconditional love we have for one another. Therefore, I think that, despite the challenging circumstances, I took pride in being there for my sister and ensuring her safety. Rain or shine, I never missed a day, determined to provide her with a sense of stability amidst the chaos at home. Overall, that experience served me well; it not only motivated me but also demonstrated that my family will always work together to succeed. In the end, my family was able to save money and rent a house, but not enough to buy one and call it our own. However, this year, our financial needs have increased because my parent's working hours have significantly diminished. As a result, we are struggling to accumulate enough money for my college education. Consequently, I am determined to pursue a degree in forensic science. Not only because it is my passion, but also because I can seek justice and start a positive chain reaction that will encourage others to pursue careers in STEM fields. By earning a degree in forensic science, I hope to secure a well-paying job that will relieve my family's financial burden while also allowing me to contribute to my education. Finally, I hope to launch a cutting-edge company that will develop new forensic procedures and technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of investigations. As a first-generation Hispanic student, pursuing a degree in forensic science would provide me with the tools and knowledge I need to make a difference in the lives of others. I hope to use my diploma to work with police to solve crimes and bring closure to families who have been harmed by heinous acts. However, my ultimate goal, which will forever stay in my heart and mind, is to provide a stable home for my family.
