My ultimate life goal is to become a compassionate and skilled medical doctor who serves people with both physical healing and emotional support. I hope to work in underserved areas, especially where healthcare is limited.
I am deeply passionate about helping others—whether through medicine, education, or spiritual encouragement. Growing up in Myanmar, I witnessed firsthand the inequalities in healthcare and education. These experiences shaped my desire to advocate for those whose voices often go unheard. I'm also passionate about using my gifts in teaching and worship to inspire and uplift others, especially children in need.
I believe I’m a strong candidate for this scholarship because I bring a heart full of purpose, a history of service, and a determination to create change. I’ve consistently worked hard academically, ranking at the top of my class, and have taken on leadership roles in both church and community. My background has instilled in me a deep appreciation for every opportunity, and I would use this scholarship to not only pursue my dream of becoming a doctor but also to pour back into others through a life of service and faith.
I assure you that your support will not be in vain, and I sincerely hope you will be part of the reason why I get to fulfill my calling.
May God bless you abundantly.

WinnerMy mom had countless sleepless nights when I was young because of my asthma. I was diagnosed with it at birth, inherited from my grandfather. Although I was the one with the disease, it was more as if my mom was the one who suffered and went through every hardship that came with it.
Growing up in an underdeveloped country, Myanmar, where there are constant electricity cut-outs, there were times when little me could not fall asleep at night due to the heat and suffocation. My whole body was covered in sweat, and I could hardly breathe. So, my mom fanned me the entire night, changed my clothes into new ones every time they got wet, and made sure that I had a good sleep while sacrificing hers. That is who my mom is, like her name, Esther, neglecting her own needs for the sake of others. Even when the doctors said there was a high chance my asthma could not be cured since it is a genetic disease, she believed in God and kept praying to Him. And God did answer. He cured my asthma - something that was not possible in the medical world or the eyes of humans. The only reason why I am where I am right now is because of God's grace and my mom, who bore, raised, and took great care of me.
My mom has always been there for our family. As someone who moved to a city (Yangon) from a small village in Chin State, she did everything she knew was good for me and my sister; she sent us to the best government schools, searched everywhere for the best tuition in town, enrolled us in English schools every summer, signed us up for piano and violin classes, and even computer classes, ensuring that we receive all the education there was to learn. She followed us to every school event, contest, and parents' meeting, and she dropped and picked us up at every class we attended. It was only because of her close support and encouragement that we were always recognized as one of the top students in each of our classes and won many awards. Most importantly, my mom is a god-fearing woman who teaches and leads her family with God's word. She dedicated her life to serving the ministry as a Sunday School teacher, Women's Leader, and Evangelizer. Her love and desire to share the love of Jesus Christ influenced our whole family, and now, all together, we have been going on a missionary outreach in a town and teaching children who have never heard of the Gospel before every Sunday after church.
My mom has inspired me a lot through her actions, words, and life. Not only has she shown me love, compassion, and kindness, but she has also taught me to treat others the same. She has the strongest faith in God I have ever witnessed, and this has given me the courage to do the same. I have decided to study medicine and become a doctor to help treat people who are just like me and to lessen the burden on mothers just like my mom. I wish to repay her (although it could not even be compared) for raising me to this age and shaping me to become a good person. I am very blessed to have a mother like her.
Thank you very much for reading about my mom, my role model in my life.
