Hello, my name is Heaven, and my passion is music. It has always been more than a hobby to me—it's my outlet, my connection to the world around me. It has taught me discipline, creativity, and resilience, and it continues to inspire me to grow both personally and professionally. My goal is not only to pursue my dreams but also to serve as an example for others, showing that perseverance and hard work can help overcome even the toughest challenges. As a member of NHS and having a mother who would take the clothes off her back to help others, I have a goal of helping anyone I come across. I remember my 18th birthday: we were going to dinner, and as we waited for our food, we came across a gentleman in need of something to eat. We were able to order him some food, but by the time his food came out, he was gone. We spent an hour looking for him and were unable to find him. The weirdest thing was we decided to search for someone else in need of food and came across another gentleman lying on the ground not too far from our local Walmart. He had on the same color clothing as the first gentleman. We think it was a sign from god letting us know that we were doing the right thing. You don't have to have a lot of money to bless others. It's what's in your heart that means the most. I will continue this tradition of helping everyone. I definitely believe it's my calling. As a military brat, I grew up adapting to constant change, learning to build resilience, embrace new experiences, and appreciate the value of service and sacrifice. Those experiences shaped my character and motivated me to pursue higher education. I am proud to be the first person in my family to attend college, a milestone of years of determination and the hope of creating new opportunities for future generations. Attending college has not come without financial challenges. My family's G.I. Bill benefits must be divided among my two siblings and me, making it difficult to cover the full cost of my education. Since I will be attending a University overseas, financial aid cannot help me with college because it is not in the United States. Attending college costs $16,000. I received scholarships for the first three years, but that's not enough to cover the cost of my dorm room and books. I was able to get $10,000 with my current scholarships. Despite these obstacles, I remain committed to earning my degree and pursuing my passion for music. I hope my journey demonstrates that determination, resilience, and dedication can inspire others to chase their goals, regardless of the obstacles they face.

Growing up, as an Army brat, I had to find something that would always feel normal to me. I was always surrounded by music. From growing up in a musical household, to joining my high school band and choir. Music has always been something that I've appreciated. I loved getting to know the music of past centuries through family members and discovering new sounds as I've gotten older. From Pop to R&B, my fascination with all genres continued to grow. In my sophomore year of high school, I joined my school choir. This allowed me to sing and learn a variety of songs. From classics like Ave Maria to Latin pop songs like La Bamba. I was also given the chance to compete in local competitions, earning gold twice and a silver medal. I decided to join my school's band soon after because I knew I'd always wanted to pursue a career in music. Thus, learning an instrument would be helpful. However, through my experience as a band kid, I'd learned that the music scene was so much more. It was community, it was fun, and it was rewarding in so many ways. Being part of both a choir and a band helped me conclude that working in music wasn't the only thing I wanted to do; I wanted to produce it. I wanted to be the one in charge of the operation. So, I began to explore that side of music more. As my senior year approached, I began planning how I would pursue my dream beyond college and become the first child in my household to attend my college of choice. My adoration for the power of music has driven me to study it in college and, hopefully, become a professional in it after I graduate. I hope to land an internship at an entertainment company that will give me a start to a career in music. During this time, I plan to work on and explore myself as an artist. I hope to become an artist who conveys messages that encourage positive change and have an impact on minority communities. However, as I work towards this goal, I give back to my community in whatever way I can. Currently, I give back to my community by volunteering through the National Honor Society at my school. I've participated in food bank drives to help provide food to those struggling, and I've also given to people experiencing homelessness on my own time in my local area. When I enter college, I plan to continue supporting my community and working towards making the world a better place for everyone.

I hope to become an artist who conveys messages that encourage positive change and impact minority communities. However, as I work towards this goal, I give back to my community in whatever way I can. Currently, I give back to my community by volunteering through the National Honor Society at my school. I've participated in food banks to help give food to those struggling, and I've also given to the homeless on my own time around my local area. When I enter college, I plan to continue supporting my community by joining the Red Cross and volunteering at orphanages in my area.

Growing up, I was always surrounded by music. From growing up in a musical household, to joining my high school band and choir. Music has always been something that I've appreciated. I loved getting to know the music of past centuries through family members, and discovering new sounds throughout the years as I've gotten older. From Pop to R&B, my fascination with all genres continued to grow. I began to look up to artists like Billie Eilish, who is one of the youngest starting artists in the industry, and H.E.R., who makes R&B music that I hope to use as inspiration for my own music one day. Looking up to artists like these encouraged me to work towards improving my singing talent. So, in my sophomore year of high school, I joined my school choir. This allowed me to sing and get to know a variety of songs. From classics like Ave Maria to Latin pop songs like La Bamba. I was also given the chance to compete in local competitions, earning gold twice and silver once during that time. I'd made the decision to join my school's band soon after because I knew that pursuing a music career was something that I'd always wanted to do. Thus, learning an instrument would be helpful. However, through the experience of being a band kid, I'd learned that the music scene was so much more. It was community, it was fun, and it was rewarding in so many ways. Being a part of both a choir and a band helped me to come to the conclusion that working in music wasn't the only thing I wanted to do; I wanted to produce it. I wanted to be the one at the hands of the operation. So, I began to explore that side of music more. Simultaneously, with my senior year approaching, I began to plan how I would pursue my dream beyond my college years. My adoration for the power of music is what has driven me to want to study it in college, and hopefully be a professional in it after I graduate. I hope to land an internship at an entertainment company that will give me a start to a career in music. During this time, I plan to work on and explore myself as an artist. I hope to become an artist who conveys messages that encourage positive change and impact minority communities. Furthermore, I hope to become an artist who is remembered for my actions in the community and for my desire to make a positive impact on all of those in the world.
