The Three Primos
By Jade Pelayo
This is all a true story
Not just some memos
About ten years ago
There once were three primos
The mischievous party of three
Pablo, David, and Jade
The three musketeers or so was their fame
They were looking all around at the lunch they had made
How did this start?
They had to recall
For when Abuela came home
They'd have to spill all
At first they were hungry
Three tummies singing song
There was bread in the kitchen
For sandwiches they long
The pitter of feet
The patter of hand
The primos had a quest
It was quite grand
They had their bread
But sandwiches have filling
What else is in the kitchen
What would be hunger killing?
They needed ingredients
The gang split up
They looked all around
And found more than just a cup
The eldest was Pablo
He found maple syrup
He led the team
Acting a bishop
The middle was David
He found brown sugar
Although he was proud
He wished it was a burger
The youngest was Jade
She found some mustard
The yellow bottle caught her sweet tooth
She thought it was custard
Tummies no longer sung rhymes
They had a deep grumble
They made their lunch quick
Kiddos caught in a jumble
They looked back at their creations
Something so unique
It was mighty strange
But it was not GOOD food they seek
So the sandwiches didn't last
They were eaten in a hurry
But now with belly's full
It did not stop the fury
Maybe they had met their match
There was doom in their wake
Because they were then attacked
By a huge tummy ache!
All they could do was go lay in bed
Abuela, Abuela!
They cried
Ayuda me!
Like it was magic
They heard the front door
It had to be Abuela
She was back from the store
She made her way to the room
For she had a mission
To check on the primos
It was in her definition
There on the bed
All tucked in
She saw her babies
Half in the coffin
She knew what had ailed them
Their nutrition was at stake
The kiddos must be hungry
For there was lunch to make
In just a jiffy
Abuela came back smiling
A giant plate of turkey and cheese sandwiches
Was what she was styling
The three musketeers took one look
They loved their abuela so much
But they didn't want to look at food
Much less could they touch
A collective groan
It bounced off the walls
Now that Abuela was home
They would have to spill all
And that was a true story
Not just some memos
About these kids and their grand quest
The three primos
Tim Gjoraas Science and Education Scholarship
Science, sparking my curiosity and potential, has always been in the back of my mind. From a young age, I found myself fascinated by the mysteries of the natural world and the wonders of every microscopic thing around us. This passion has propelled my devotion towards my academics. It is the motivation behind my pursuit of the Tim Gjoraas Scholarship and a science-based bachelor’s degree.
Growing up, I was a relentless reader, always eager to discover things beyond my knowledge. One fateful day, I stumbled upon a book about the wonders of the world. It spoke of how each swirl behind sunflower seeds is an endless formula, how there is darkness beyond our reach within oceans, and what happens inside the body in just one breath. The realization that science had the power to unveil the secrets of the universe fueled my determination to pursue a career in STEM!
As I progressed, I discovered the life sciences. The intricate web of biology, the ironically large world of cells, and the mechanisms that sustain life got my undivided attention. I embarked on a mission to understand the intricate workings of the human body. This fervor led me to investigate the medical field, where I would have the chance to contribute to mankind’s understanding of the miracles of human life. These experiences have allowed me to learn about the transformative power of science to solve complex biological puzzles.
My passion for science isn't limited to the academic realm. I firmly believe that science is a place for change and progress. It has the potential to address global issues, from climate change to healthcare issues. It's this conviction that has driven me to participate in job shadows, expanding my knowledge at the Hangar Prosthetic Clinic. My involvement in this clinic has demonstrated that science is not just a subject of study; it is a tool for empowerment and societal change. The way these patients would light up at the sight of not a burden, but a personalized tool. To transform their potential despite the hardships.
Furthermore, the ever-bright outlook of scientific research constantly fuels my passion. I am inspired by the groundbreaking discoveries in areas like stem cells, organic chemistry, and the bonds between thousands of atoms. These advancements underline the limitless potential of science to shape our future. I am dedicated to being a part of this exciting journey, contributing to my skillset.
As I look forward to my academic future, I recognize the great value of a scholarship in science. It will allow me to fully take advantage of my studies, pursue research opportunities, and engage in cutting-edge projects. This support will not only enable me to further my scientific aspirations but also contribute to the advancement of human knowledge.
In conclusion, my passion for science is vast. I want to explore the unknown, push the boundaries of my knowledge and harness the power of scientific knowledge for the betterment of those in need. I am driven by curiosity, a desire to make meaningful contributions, and the belief that science is the key to unlocking a brighter future for myself. With this scholarship, I hope to continue my journey of scientific discovery and make a lasting impact on healthcare through my passion for science.
