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.

• I acted as a front desk receptionist at two jobs. I made appointments for customers and communicated with others on the phone. Moreover, I helped customers when they came up to me with questions when they weren't certain of something.

  Mission:

  My missions were fairly similar for both of the public service organizations. The objective was to help others and since this was during the corona virus pandemic era, things were a little different. A recurring event was writing letters to children and other hospital patients to make them feel loved. It helped them get through the hard times, at least mentally. In addition to writing letters, I contributed to raising money to cut off part of patients' medical bills so they could receive the necessary treatments. Lastly, I was able to make the environment and my community a cleaner place by recycling, reusing, and picking up trash. I also tried planting as many plants and trees as I could.
