Hello, I am Jacob Julian. I am very interested in becoming a professional welder. This will be my first year at TSTC (Texas State Tech). I am very excited to start the program on September 3rd of this year. I just completed the Texas Youth Challenge Program, ran by the Texas Military department.It was a sort of military high school. Texas Challenge Academy was a difficult program, but I graduated the program on June 15th of this year, and while I was there I also completed my GED certificate and am starting trade school in the fall for my welding certificate.
My dad was an oilfield employee for 15 years (until he couldn't work anymore) and my Uncle currently also works in the oilfield. As I grew up I watched them, and saw the pride he put into his job everyday.I know it is a dangerous job, and requires great sacrifice from the men and women who work in the industry. That makes them heroes to the world, but they very seldom are seen that way. However, I believe the energy sector is very important, because it keeps the world moving. Without energy; our homes would be cold, our cars wouldn't run, and we would starve. Civilization as we know it would cease to exist.
The energy sector powers the entire world, so maybe that makes it the most important industry of all. My dream is to work as a pipe welder in the oilfield. I love welding, I find welding very satisfying, and to have that as a career would be amazing. I would love to be considered for your award.It would help me insure I have a job I love, and a decent salary to provide for myself and my future,so I can become an asset to society and a hero to the world, by helping provide energy for the people of the world. I have financial need,as my mother is the only one who is currently able to work in our home, I am looking for work, but I haven't found a regular job yet. I would prefer not to take out so many student loans to pay for my tuition and the tools required to complete the welding program, but I will do whatever I have to do to succeed in my plans.
I would like to thank you for your consideration for this award, and thank you for your time reading my application.

I'd really like to become a professional pipeline welder. My dad worked in the oilfield and I found inspiration in how hard he worked to provide for his family everyday. I want to be able to do the same for my family; when I'm old enough to be a dad. My mom bought me a welder for Christmas one year and I fell in love with welding. I did take welding classes in high school, and I am really looking forward to making it my career.
I'd really like to work in the Midland area, I have family in the area, and my Uncle works on oil rigs. I think I could do the thing I love most and make a living at it. That is the dream, doing something you love and earning a living doing it.
I've never really been the kid who plays video games or likes to stay inside all day, I need to be doing something with my hands. I like to fish, hunt, chase my mom's chickens. I am just an outside person, and I really think that welding would be a great career for me. My plans include attending trade school at TSTC in Abilene and getting a welding degree or certificate.
My mom works for the post office, and my dad is retired/disabled, so we don't have a lot of income at the moment, but I know my mom will find a way to make things work out so I can attend, I'm just really hoping that I can get some financial aide to help out. I also plan on working when I'm not doing school work.
I attend Texas Challenge Academy and am currently a Cadet Sergeant. It was a lot of hard work but it was so worth it in the end to be able to mature and grow from my experiences. I have learned a lot, like how to live in a small area with people from different backgrounds, how to look for the positive in everything. I have a passion for animals, and I have done volunteer work in the community where my school is. When I get home I plan to finish my high school diploma, as well as the GED test. I really hope to take some of the financial burden off my mother and get a few scholarships to help out with the cost of attending the welding program at TSTC (Abilene Campus)
Thank you for your consideration.
