    Eco-Warrior Scholarship
    Living sustainably is a top priority for me, and I make intentional choices every day to reduce my carbon footprint and minimize my impact on the environment. There are a number of reasons why I think it’s important to live sustainably, including the need to protect our planet for future generations, to reduce our reliance on finite resources, and to create a more just and equitable society. One of the intentional choices I make to live sustainably is to reduce my energy consumption. I do this by turning off lights and electronics when I’m not using them, using energy-efficient light bulbs, and using natural light whenever possible. I also try to limit my use of heating and air conditioning by dressing appropriately for the weather and opening windows to let in fresh air. Another way I live sustainably is by reducing my water consumption. I do this by taking shorter showers, turning off the water while brushing my teeth, and using a low-flow toilet. I also try to limit my use of single-use plastics by using reusable water bottles and shopping bags, and by avoiding products with excessive packaging. In addition to reducing my energy and water consumption, I also make intentional choices to reduce my waste. I do this by recycling as much as possible, composting food scraps, and avoiding products that are not recyclable or compostable. I also try to buy products that are made from sustainable materials and that are produced in an environmentally-friendly way. Overall, I think it’s important to reduce our carbon footprint and live sustainably because we have a responsibility to protect our planet for future generations. Climate change is already having a devastating impact on our planet, and if we don’t take action to reduce our carbon emissions and protect our natural resources, we risk leaving behind a world that is uninhabitable for future generations. Reducing our carbon footprint and living sustainably is also important because it helps to create a more just and equitable society. The impacts of climate change are not felt equally around the world; instead, they disproportionately affect the most vulnerable and marginalized communities.

    Novitas Diverse Voices Scholarship
    As someone who has worked in public relations for several years, I've seen firsthand the impact that diverse voices can have on public narratives. When we bring together people from different backgrounds and perspectives, we create a richer and more nuanced understanding of the issues at hand. This is especially important in today's world, where we are grappling with complex social issues that require thoughtful and inclusive solutions. One of the key benefits of having diverse voices in public relations is that it allows us to better understand our audiences. When we have people from different backgrounds and experiences working on a campaign, we can create messaging that resonates with a wider range of people. This is especially important when we are trying to reach communities that have historically been underrepresented or marginalized. By including diverse voices in our campaigns, we are able to build trust and credibility with these communities, which is crucial for effective communication. Another benefit of diverse voices in public relations is that it allows us to bring new ideas and perspectives to the table. When we have people from different backgrounds working together, we are able to challenge our assumptions and think more creatively about the issues we are trying to address. This can lead to innovative solutions that we might not have considered otherwise. But perhaps the most important impact of diverse voices in public relations is that it allows us to tell more authentic and inclusive stories.

This is especially important when we are working on campaigns that touch on sensitive or controversial issues, as it allows us to tell these stories in a way that is respectful and inclusive. Of course, it's not always easy to bring together diverse voices in public relations. There are often barriers that prevent people from different backgrounds from entering the field, such as lack of access to education or networking opportunities. We also need to be mindful of power dynamics within our organizations and ensure that everyone's voice is heard and valued. But despite these challenges, I believe that the power of diverse voices in public relations is too important to ignore. When we bring together people from different backgrounds and perspectives, we are able to create more inclusive and effective campaigns that resonate with a wider range of people. This is not only good for our clients, but it's also good for society as a whole.

I had been struggling to find work for months, and the constant rejection was taking a toll on my mental health. As I sat there, feeling sorry for myself, I realized that I needed to change my perspective. Instead of seeing these rejections as failures, I needed to see them as opportunities to learn and grow. I decided to take a step back and reflect on what I could learn from this experience. One of the biggest lessons I learned was the importance of resilience.

I have went through my own personal trial-and-error throughout my highschool career, and I have felt that only I can determine my own actions. I was in a continuous ups and downs in life, so the only thing you can do in that situation is push through. I have my fair share of ups and downs. I have gone through many family situations and problems that have caused me to stay out of school, and to miss out on things that I could not experience as a young adolescent. Though I have been through a lot I have recently been able to regain what's left of my childhood and build on to better things. I can not promise that I was a perfect kid growing up, but somehow managed to succeed through my struggles. The ways I plan to succeed in college is to build on what I aspire to be. I am aspiring to be in the business pathway such as Business executives, or a finance agent. The benefits that a "Finance" or "Accounting" degree would have on my job opportunities would not only expand my opportunity, but to become a Business executive or a finance agent, and it would also pave new ways of opportunity to different pathways. The opportunities college or any other secondary education could offer me would be exponential.
    Cat Zingano Overcoming Loss Scholarship
    Many losses happen across the country such as divorced parents, out-of-care adolescent children, and just simply the loss of losing a family member. I feel like if anyone has lost a family member that really cared, I could just imagine the damage that could do to one's mental health. I fear for children without the comfort of their mother and father, I could simply relate to this fact because I grew up without my biological mother and father. The simplicity of just knowing that your mother or father isn't there for graduation, through your first breakups, or even just not knowing you at all could take a detrimental toll on someone. When I grew up without my mother and father it didn't really take a toll on me at first, but I don't think anyone should go through the loss of their own family members. The loss of a close family member has caused me to focus and fight for what's best in my life, when I lost my great-grandmother during the summer of 2018 everything went downhill from there, but I found ways to cope years later and I made it through. With years of struggling with my mental health and years of depression, the struggle with ongoing anxiety, and just barely being able to make it out of bed in the morning. Things that I went through with the struggle of losing my great-grandmother has taken a big impact on me to this very day. My Great-grandmother, Olivia, has taught me many things such as the basics of being strong, being independent, and basic skills such as sewing old-worn-out clothes. There's still not a day that doesn't go by that I don't miss her because I do, and I wish she was still here to give me guidance. I wish my great-grandmother was here for my downfalls and my peaks in and throughout my life. Sadly, My great-grandmother, Olivia is not here anymore, but I still am. I'm here to stay and follow her footsteps to become a better and more impactful me.
