At eight months old, I lost my grandmother to diabetes. She was the closest relative to my father, so it was a tragic loss. However, when my grandmother on my mother's side and two of my closest aunts got diagnosed with diabetes, I figured things needed to change. I couldn't bear losing someone from a disease again so, in the near future, I want to put my diligent efforts into focusing on helping others and moving towards a better society. Whether I will be a part of the industrious health industry or coming up with innovations to optimistically improve lives, I'll be delighted knowing I am making a difference in the world. I could contribute to solving critical issues like going against cancer and diabetes, fighting for change targeting a safer and healthier community, and reducing escalating environmental damage harming precious life on earth. Unfortunately, there seems to be a never-ending list of issues that plague survival, but I am making it my primary goal to shorten that obnoxious list. By doing so, I can leave a world that flourishes and prospers for the following generations. I believe I am a fine candidate because the scholarship money won't go to waste if I am hypothetically rewarded it. My goal of attending college to pursue a health major (preferably in California to remain close to my family) and taking classes at a medical school will be feasible with that money. As expressed, I am ambitious to turn my desired future into a reality and this financial help will smooth out my obstacle-filled path to make it possible for me to achieve my long-term goals.
