I am a mother of four working hard to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. I’m passionate about helping others and showing my children that it’s never too late to start over. I returned to school after many years and am currently completing my prerequisites while balancing motherhood, work, and major financial responsibilities on my own. I believe I’m a strong candidate because I am dedicated, resilient, and committed to serving my community. A scholarship would ease the financial stress and allow me to continue moving toward my goal of becoming a compassionate and skilled nurse.
