Bio

My goals in life are big! I want to go to college at WKU and be at the top of my class in the biology field. After I want to move to Florida and work at Disney's Animal Kingdom in their conservation program. This program is one of the best in the United States. After years of hard work and determination, I hope to one day become the Vice President of Animals, Environment, and Science at Disney's Animal Kingdom and make a much bigger difference than I already am currently. While I am doing that the accomplishment that would mean the most would be becoming a wonderful wife and mother. That is the greatest gift a woman could ask for and that is one of my biggest goals. I could achieve all of these things but having a family would be the biggest achievement of all.

      "You can own the earth and still all you'll own is earth until you can paint with all the colors of the wind" (Pocahontas). Pocahontas said this and this has stuck with me ever since I was little. I always grew up in a family that loved animals and this inspired me to work with animals. My goal ever since I was little was to help animals in need and save the world from destroying too much of habitats that animals need. One of the biggest problems our world is facing is the destruction and loss of habitats around the world. Humans are destroying our world without really realizing the mistakes they are making. They are destroying land that many animals need to survive and thrive. This cause many species to go extinct in the wild. When a species goes extinct we lose the balance in our world because every animal is needed in our world. Without them, we are losing something whether they control populations of other animals or just help our earth thrive. One way to combat these issues is to make people aware of what we as humans are doing. We can do things such as making educational videos that showcase what is going on in the world. Encourage people to get involved in their communities to fix these issues. We can even go to schools and educate the younger generations to make a difference. In doing this we will teach people what nature has to offer and show them that animals are just important as them. So in making people aware of these issues we are maing the world a better place. We are going to build our world back better then before so many generations to come can see it.
      Bold Goals Scholarship
      In my life, I grew up with part of my family that worked with animals on a farm this led to my love of animals. My passion has lasted my whole life and this is why I am going into a career in conservation to work with animals. My current goal is to get through college and get my bachelor's in Biology and Biochemistry. I have many future goals one of the first is to get my Ph.D. in Biology. During this, I want to head to one of the best conservation programs in the United States this program is at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Once I get here I am going to work hard and do everything I can to prove I am good at what I love. My final and biggest goal would be to become the Vice President of Animals, Environment, and Science. It would be my dream job because I would inspire many young women and children to follow their dreams as I did. These goals are only so much though. The goal I want the most is to be a mother and a wife. Being a mother is one of the biggest dreams I have. I have always wanted to be a mother because bringing a child into the world is a gift from god. It is one of the most special things women can do. These goals are all within my reach. I won't give up until I reach all of these dreams. It is a lot to accomplish but I know I can do it if I put my mind to it.
