The dear Scholarship donors, Hi, my name is Estrella Avendano and this August I am going to be attending the University of Northern Colorado. This fall I plan to start working towards gaining a Bachelor in Nursing(Exploring). For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to provide healthcare to underrepresented communities. As a child, I was facing a battle with my health and at that point, medical assistance was out of reach for us. Knowing that I can make a difference in tomorrow's future is the reason I want to become a nurse.
