    Jorian Kuran Harris (Shugg) Helping Heart Foundation Scholarship
    I decided to pursue a career in entrepreneurship in the veterinary field because I have always had a passion for animals and love helping animals. When I was younger,I decided I wanted to be a veterinarian technician when I was older. At the age of four I was gifted a veterinarian kit which sparked my interest to work with animals in the future. I want to help take care of injured and sick animals. Helping animals has always been a big part of who I am from rescuing dogs to saving insects. I always try to help animals as much as I can.By taking the extra step to show courage and kindness. Animal welfare has always been important to me because I can make an important impact on all animals lives. I got the opportunity to rescue a dog and two puppies that were hanging off a ledge with a far drop. I took the opportunity to step into action, and rescued them. Giving back through this field is a big reason I want to pursue in this career. My goal is to be able to provide free and or low cost veterinary care for animals all over the world, homeless animals, and for family’s who can’t afford care for there animal. I would do this by providing a free traveling Veterinarian clinic that goes all around the world to provide care for all animals. I plan to provide free or low cost access to pet care for homeless and impoverished families with animals. My clinic will provide free or low cost wellness exams, surgeries, testing for parasites, vaccines, X-rays, and casts. In addition to free or low cost pet care, I would also provide a free pet food pantry. The things I would test for are: heartworm, ear mites, and a lot more. How I would test for these are different for each type. I would test for heartworm is by drawling blood and putting it in a machine that tests for it. Ear mites I would swab the animals ear and look at the swab under a microscope. I would get funding for my clinic by fundraising ,hosting special events, and grants.At fundraising or events there would be a bin so people could donate pet food that would go to the pantry. I would staff volunteers with experience that are pursuing an education in animal care. These are the reasons why I have chosen to pursue in the veterinary career field.

    Billie Eilish Fan Scholarship
    The top three Billie Eilish songs i can deeply resonate to are: What was I made for? I relate to this song because there was a time in my life I had depression and did not know what importance i had, if i was made for anything, and if I even mattered. This song is very beautiful and makes me want to cry by how relatable and beautiful it is. Ocean eyes i can relate to this time because i liked a guy with ocean blue eyes who made me cry with his eyes.i love this song it is very beautiful song. Bad guy i am not an antagonist but some people would say I am a bad guy. They would say i am the bad guy even though they are duh. This song has a very catchy tune. One extra one I really like is birds of a feather, this song gets stuck in my head whenever I hear it. I like how clean and smooth the lyrics are. I love how well the lyrics go together. My personal connection with her lyrics are how relatable they are and how they make me feel. From a good cry to screaming from the top of my lungs to her music she’s a go to artist.
    “The Office” Obsessed! Fan Scholarship
    The character I resanate to the most in “The Office is definitely Pam”. The reasons I resonate to her are she laughs a lot, she does not like being apart of drama, she is possitive all the time, and she has patience. She laughs a lot mostly with her friend Jim. I Laugh a lot too with my friends but I don't have a friend named Jim. A lot like Pam I do not like being apart of drama. Pam stays away from drama as best as she can and I do too. She is very positive or at least trys to be. I always try to stay positive in every situation and circumstance just like Pam does. The last thing I like about Pam is she has so much patience with everyone in the office. She has so much patience especially with Micheal Scott bothering her a lot during the day. I try to have patience with everyone just like Pam does. In the end these are the reasons why I resonate to Pam in “The Office” the most. I love “The Office” and all the characters in the TV show!!!! Thank you for this opportunity of this scholarship.

    The most memorable Nintendo moment I have had is playing super smash bros with my brother. We would all sit in the same room with the game cube and controllers.One of my brother would get the cube and put the game and put it in the game cube. Then he would hand everyone a controller.My brother would also have his orange Nintendo controller. My brother would always choose a different character every time. Everyone else would keep the same We would smile, laugh, And play for hours playing the same game. Me and my brothers have so many memories with the Nintendo wee as well. Me and my brothers would play Wii sports and just dance with our sisters. We would always do the barbie song and then a song of my brother's choice. My sister would always choose the Alien song called funky town or the astronaut song. My brother would choose either the snowboard song or a little bit of Monaca in my life song.

    Lindsey Vonn ‘GREAT Starts With GRIT’ Scholarship
    I have had to overcome and cope with my learning difference . I have autism so my brain is wired differently and I can’t comprehend the same things as most people I have had to try extra hard to keep up with my peers.I also hear everything and can’t block any noises out so I wear noise canceling headphones. I have dyslexia which makes it hard to concentrate when reading so I cover the words I’m not reading. I can also read upside down thanks to dyslexia. I also have difficulty’s typing fast and not looking down at my keyboard. How i overcame this is in occupational therapy i did a bunch of typing challenges every week to help improve my typing. My HDHD makes me extremely stressed and have panic attacks so I try to manage my stress and have fidgets on me. My ADAD makes it so I can’t focus on one thing. I have to try to keep All of my distractions out of my way. My disorder that touches my C1 and C2 in my brain can shut off the blood flow to my brain I just cope with it. Anxiety makes me extremely anxious about every little thing.For my mental health problems I overcame them with an emotional support dog and a therapist . I have also overcome the trauma of being in two different dog attacks by not having a fear of dogs even though I was attacked by a dog and ended up in the ER and got stitches under my eyes. Moral of the story all my disability’s or problems some people would call them can be coped with. Yes i have disabilities but that does not mean i am not capable of achieving my goals. I might have some obstacles with my disabilities but i can achieve all those obstacles. Another obstacle i overcame was being bullied for having disabilities and being different. I overcame being bullied by not caring what people think of me .Also by ignoring anything mean they say to me because i was told there unhappy with them selves so they take it off on other people. Finally i overcame and coped with being adopted and not being able to see my biological parents,siblings,and grandparents.Moral of my whole essay is no matter what obstacle anyone or myself faces. There is a way to overcome it one way or another.
    Ethel Hayes Destigmatization of Mental Health Scholarship
    My Mental health got way worse when anyone tried to help make it better or help me deal with.My Mental health had no off switch, if anyone tried to help me not feel that way all it did was make things worse. Mental health is different for everyone and isn’t easy to live with or get through. It’s an extremely challenging time in someone’s life. Mental health has ruined past relationships in my life. I have lost a lot of relationships because I let people leave my life if they wanted to or if I felt ignored. I isolated my self in my room away from everyone and any human interaction. My mental health destroyed family bonds as well. Mental health made my understanding of the world dark I felt that the world was lonely, hopeless, and I felt like there was no one in the world who cared. Mental health changed my goals I had no motivation to do anything, not even to get up in the morning, or to go anywhere. I wanted to give up on my goals, my hopes for my future, and my dreams. I did not feel like my goals and dreams were worth it during this time. I wanted to give up on everything in my life even life it’s self
    Team USA Fan Scholarship
    My favorite athlete to cheer for on team USA Simone is Biles. Simone is my favorite member on Team USA because my older sister worked out and did gymnastics with her. Simone is my personal favorite gymnastics athlete because i love her routine and her wonderful personality. She is what i would call the greatest of all time gymnast. Her floor, balance beam, parallel bars, vault routines are very beautiful. I love to watch Simone Biles doing gymnastics on the Olympics. It is sad to see she is retiring from gymnastics and the Olympics. Simone biles can never be replaced that would be too big of a shoe to fill. Not only is Simone a great athlete and teammate she is a great family member. Her gymnastics legacy will always be remembered by her years and years of Olympic Games activity. Team USAs gymnastics team will not be the same without Simone Biles and all she brings to the team. Her gold Olympic metals say it all and prove just how incredible she is at gymnastics. Moral of the story her years paid off as an athlete and even though she retired from gymnastics her legacy will always live on. Thank you for this opportunity.
    Learner Math Lover Scholarship
    There are several reasons why i love math. Math is used everyday, everywhere, and every second of every day. math is apart of our everyday life if you really think about it. I use math to figure out time, when I figure out how much something costs, and in math class. Math is used everywhere in the world one way or another. Every second of every day Math is used at stores , jobs, home's, and at restaurants. Restaurants calculate amounts and servings using equations. Grocery stores are adding up prices and calculating the price of items. I will also have to use lots of math in the career field i dream of going into. From medication filling to costs. Math is not only now a big part of my life, it will be a major part of my day to day life during and after college. Math is in a way apart of my daily routine. The moral of this is no matter who you are or what you do there is math all around you.You might not notice you are using math. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to write about why i love Math.
