I have loved animals my whole life, so it’s only natural that I go into the field of veterinarian medicine. I have had several different animals as pets throughout my childhood. Veterinarian medicine is my dream career. I want a career where I can make a difference to people and animals. Veterinary medicine is exactly that for me. It is an important field because you get to help not only animals but people too. Veterinarians should have a genuine compassion for animals to provide the best care possible. They must possess patience when dealing with the unpredictability of animals. They must be able to communicate well and have problem-solving skills. I think that I possess the qualities to be a great veterinarian. Veterinary medicine helps ensure the health and well-being of animals by providing care and treating illnesses and injuries. I can be a part of protecting the environment, food safety, research, and public health. As a veterinarian, I will have the education and opportunity to prevent the spread of foreign diseases into the United States. Maybe one day I can be a part of the movement to eradicate diseases like rabies and tuberculosis, which threaten the lives of both people and animals. I can help ensure the safety of the food that we consume and make sure that the producers of the food comply with sanitation standards by becoming a USDA veterinarian. Some of the popular career options include working as a veterinarian in a private clinic, working in a research lab, working in zoos or aquariums, or working in the agricultural industry. There are so many different career options involving veterinary medicine. I like having these choices when it comes to veterinary medicine. I am personally interested in the agricultural industry and working in private clinics. Both are different, but they will allow me to fulfill my dream of helping both people and animals. It might be challenging, but I think it is worth doing. There are many rewards when you complete veterinary medicine. You get to work with animals every day, make a positive impact on animals and people, get plenty of job opportunities, and get paid well. Black veterinarians only make up two percent of vets practicing in the United States. Once I am successful, I want to nurture the same passion that others like me have for this occupation. I want to help increase the number of black veterinarians in our country by mentoring. Dr. Alfreda Johnson Webb and Dr. Jane Hinton were the first black women to be licensed as veterinarians in the United States. They achieved their goals at a time when the world was less understanding of diversity. Their courage and tenacity give me strength to follow through with my goals. I understand that the field of veterinary medicine can be quite demanding. It requires time, dedication, and a great deal of competition. However, I am not one to shy away from hard work or challenges. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…" I embrace the challenge with open arms.

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. I remember being a young girl and always asking my mom to get me some type of animal. From guinea pigs to rabbits. I knew that I had a passion. I have worked hard by maintaining a 3.9 GPA, good grades, and doing volunteer work to attend Tuskegee University this fall. I have been accepted but tuition is a big obstacle for me. If I receive the scholarship it would take some stress off of me and my mom. My mom was diagnosed with lupus a few years ago. She has struggled to make ends meet while trying to battle her lupus. I want nothing more than to put her mind at ease so she can focus on getting better and not on paying for my college tuition. This scholarship would not only help me but her too. She wants to be able to send me to college as a first-generation college student. She knows that I am capable of doing big things if given the opportunity. Becoming a veterinarian would not only allow me to help animals but people too. Veterinary medicine helps ensure the health and well-being of animals by providing care and treating illnesses and injuries. I can be a part of protecting the environment, food safety, research, and public health. As a veterinarian, I will have the education and opportunity to prevent the spread of foreign diseases into the United States. Maybe one day I can be a part of the movement to eradicate diseases like rabies and tuberculosis, which threaten the lives of both people and animals.

I grew up with two brothers and three sisters. My oldest brother was full of life and always willing to help anyone in need. When I looked at him, I saw a person who was happy and had their whole life ahead of them. I never imagined that at the age of 17, I would lose one of my siblings forever. September 22, 2023, changed the lives of my family. My brother was found deceased in a motel room by housekeeping. He took his own life. There was no warning that I could see. No letter was left behind to explain the reason why he felt this was his only solution to whatever problems plagued his soul. There is so much emotion when you lose a sibling. I feel anger because how could he? I feel grief, because my big brother is gone. I feel fear because his death is proof that this can happen to anyone. When it first happened the question I asked myself most was what do I do now? Do I go on as if my brother never existed? That is not an option. My brother is unforgettable. He was kind and loving. He was the leader of our sibling pack. I deal with my grief by talking about him and sharing the memories that we created. It has been a few months now and I realize that the only way to honor my brother is to live and accomplish all the things that he was unable to do in his short life. I will go to college and graduate. I will become the veterinarian that I want to be. I will miss my brother forever. The grief of losing him is great, but I am grateful for having him to love. I am hoping that the love will eventually overcome the feeling of loss.

I have loved animals my whole life, so it’s only natural to go into veterinarian medicine. I have had several different animals as pets throughout my childhood. Veterinarian medicine is my dream career. I want a career where I can make a difference to people and animals. Veterinary medicine is exactly that for me. It is an essential field because you get to help not only animals but people, too. One particular event in my life that made me realize I had a passion for veterinary happened when I was about 11. My family and I had adopted a puppy named Star. She was a cream-colored chihuahua, and she was tiny. When we adopted her, we had no clue that we would undergo heartbreak. The first week of having her was fine, but after that, she started showing signs of sickness. She seemed like she would have trouble breathing. We took her to the vet, where she was diagnosed with pneumonia. It all got worse from there, and the vet could do nothing. She would constantly pass out, and we would have to spoon-feed her. Every time I saw her pass out, my heart would break. It was so hard to watch. About a month later, Star had passed away. It was so hard for me as a kid to understand how the vet could do nothing to save her. Ever since, I wanted nothing more than to become a veterinarian. Veterinarians should have a genuine compassion for animals to provide the best care possible. They must possess patience when dealing with the unpredictability of animals. They must be able to communicate well and have problem-solving skills. I think that I possess the qualities to be a great veterinarian. It might be challenging, but I think it is worth doing. There are many rewards when you complete veterinary medicine. You get to work with animals daily, positively impact animals and people, get plenty of job opportunities, and get paid well. I understand that the field of veterinary medicine can be quite demanding. It requires time, dedication, and a great deal of competition. However, I am not one to shy away from hard work or challenges. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…" I embrace the challenge with open arms. Some of the things I have done to ensure I get accepted into Tuskegee University to work towards becoming a veterinarian are maintaining a 3.9 GPA in high school, being a part of the National Honor Society, The Science Honor Society, The English Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, doing Community service with these groups and maintaining honor roll.

Title: Hannah in Waverly Place Hannah in Waverly Place would be a crossover of Wizards Of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana. It would start off with Miley and her family traveling to Greenwich Village for a concert that Hannah has. They would stop at the substation for some food. Justin would see Miley and instantly have a crush on her. Justin tries to flirt but ends up embarrassing himself. Meanwhile, with the Russos, Justin is a big fan of Hannah Montano, but Alex is too, although she tries to hide it due to her embarrassment. Alex meets Hannah while they are at the substation, and they instantly become friends and start to hang out. They talk about how Hannah will be in Greenwich for a concert. Alex will try to sound cool in front of her new friend and talk bad about Hannah and how she does not like her. Miley would try to sound cool and agree, but this would obviously rub Miley the wrong way, and Miley would do crazy things to go out of her way to convince Alex to like Hannah while also trying not to blow her cover or seem like she's a Hannah fan. Later, Alex tries to prove to Justin that her new friend Miley doesn't like him, so Alex secretly casts a spell that makes people tell their secrets. After Alex performs the spell, she asks Miley if she has a crush on Justin, to which Miley replies, "No." While Alex is teasing Justin for being rejected, Miley starts spilling all her secrets because of the spell that Alex cast. Alex and Justin are trying to find a spell to stop it. While they look for the spell, Miley tells random secrets, but when Justin finds the correct spell, Miley reveals to them that she is Hannah Montana. Justin starts freaking out and 'fan Girling," and Alex does the same, revealing that she is also a super fan. Hannah is back to normal and is confused about why she told all her secrets. They come up with an excuse, but Miley is left confused and feeling like they did something to her to make her reveal her secret, but she doesn't know what. Meanwhile, while this is going on, Jackson meets Max, and they are up to nonsense. Towards the end, after the concert that both Alex and Justin attend, Hannah is about to go back home. She stops by the substation to say goodbye and makes both Alex and Justin promise not to tell her secret. She is about to leave when Alex feels bad about doing that to her new friend, so she tells Miley that she is a wizard. Miley is shocked, but they both promise to keep each other secret.

People tend to look at me weirdly when I tell them I have never been trick-or-treating. Growing up, my mom never trusted trick or treating so she would not let my sister and me do it. As a kid, I would complain to her about not doing anything Halloween-related because I wanted to be like the other kids in my class and the kids on TV. To make me feel better, my mom decided to take my sister and me to get candy from the store and treats from Starbucks. I remember being about twelve and getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte for the first time. My mom tried to convince me to order something else because "I wouldn't like it." I instantly fell in love with it. After that, my sister and I would ask to get one a few times a week, but we would never get it that often, which made me want it more. It slowly became a thing where my mom would buy us one in the fall, close to Halloween.  Now that I am 18, I still get a pumpkin latte from Starbucks every once in a while. Every time I drink it, I feel so much nostalgia. It reminds me of my childhood and gets me into the Halloween spirit. It is surprising how a drink could hold that much power over me. Something so simple brings me so much joy. It is because it reminds me of a happier time in my life. It reminds me of when I was a kid and did not have to stress over things like preparing for college and trying to work hard in high school, this drink reminds me of the word "peace" and "relaxation" I crave my favorite drink whenever I'm stressed out from studying or completing scholarships.  I have been a long-time Starbucks lover. I have tried most of their drinks and treats. Yet nothing is as sentimental to me as the Pumpkin Latte—not even my new favorites like the Caramel Ribbon Crunch or cake pops. When I say my favorite drink is the pumpkin Latte, it's deeper than just the taste of it. Whenever someone asks what I look forward to the most for fall, I do not have your typical answer because mine will forever be "Drinking the Pumpkin Latte from Starbucks at my mom's house in front of all the fall decorations."

Black people have played a major role in helping others advance in so many different areas of life. In honor of black history month, we celebrate and honor the achievements and resilience of our community. When I think about someone who used their strength as a way to drive society forward, many names come to mind. Many black men and women have devoted their lives to making society a better place. They didn’t like the rules set for them and worked to change these rules. They didn’t care that their lives were in danger. If there was any fear, they pushed this fear aside to alter the lives of people like me. Many blacks have been the first to do something and lead the way for others to follow their lead. I admire them all. I take something from each of the examples that they set forth. Martin Luther King Jr. showed us how far faith can take us. Harriet Tubman showed us persistence. Marcus Garvey encouraged economic independence for blacks. These are just a few examples. They fought at a time when the world was less understanding of diversity. Their courage and tenacity give me strength to follow through with my goals. Without them, the world would look so much different today. I thank them for their sacrifices. Many used nonviolent mischief to bring about this change. These nonconformists created their own rules which better suited their motives. If I have to pick one it would be Nelson Mandela. He resisted the apartheid in South Africa. He was charged with leaving the country without a permit, inciting people to strike, four counts of sabotage, and conspiracy to overthrow the government. He spent 27 years in prison. After all of this, he still refused to conform to what was expected of him. Instead, he was prepared to die for what he believed in. Mandela went on to become the first democratically elected president of South Africa. I admire his strength to keep fighting even when times seemed bleak and there was no light to be seen. His example has shown me that it’s ok to not go along with something just to keep the peace. Sometimes you have to shake things up if you want to see a change. Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” I plan to do just that!

Animals have played an important role in my life since I was a child. We always had a dog, a cat, or some type of pet. At a young age, I realized that my love of animals went much further than just wanting a pet. I made the connection early on between animals and their importance to people. From that day on I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I want to be a veterinarian. My field of study is very important to not only animals but people as well. As a veterinarian, I will have the education and opportunity to prevent the spread of foreign diseases into the United States. Maybe one day I can be a part of the movement to eradicate diseases like rabies and tuberculosis which threaten the lives of both people and animals. I can help ensure the safety of the food that we consume and make sure that producers of the food comply with sanitation standards by becoming an USDA veterinarian. Black veterinarians are not plenty in our country. They only make up approximately two percent of vets practicing in the United States. Once I have earned my degree and started my career, I want to give back to our community. I want to nurture and mentor those who possess the same passion that I have for this occupation. I want to encourage them and assist them in any way possible so that they can also achieve their goals. Maybe I will be able to start a scholarship fund to help those who are in need like me. My first step in making all of this come true is to apply for scholarships and work to earn the money to pay for college. I have been accepted to Tuskegee University and this is a dream come true to me. I want to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Alfreda Johnson Webb and Dr. Jane Hinton, the first black veterinarians in our country. They paved the way so that I could have a footprint to follow. I am looking forward to this new journey in my life. I am in financial need and receiving this scholarship will help me tremendously. My family is not able to help me financially at this time, but I know that I have their support in other ways. This scholarship will make education more obtainable for me. It will also alleviate the stress I have about paying for school and allow me to concentrate more on learning and studying. I have worked very hard to get this far and I will not stop until all goals have been met. As someone who donates her time to help others in my community, I know how it positively affects the people who need help. This scholarship will one day help me so that I can one day help others even more. In the words of Albert Einstein, “It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.”

Animals have played an important role in my life since I was a child. We always had a dog, a cat, or some type of pet. At a young age, I realized that my love of animals went much further than just wanting a pet. I made the connection early on between animals and their importance to people. From that day on I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I want to be a veterinarian. My field of study is very important to not only animals but people as well. As a veterinarian, I will have the education and opportunity to prevent the spread of foreign diseases into the United States. Maybe one day I can be a part of the movement to eradicate diseases like rabies and tuberculosis which threaten the lives of both people and animals. I can help ensure the safety of the food that we consume and make sure that producers of the food comply with sanitation standards by becoming an USDA veterinarian. Black veterinarians are not plenty in our country. They only make up approximately two percent of vets practicing in the United States. Once I have earned my degree and started my career, I want to give back to our community. I want to nurture and mentor those who possess the same passion that I have for this occupation. I want to encourage them and assist them in any way possible so that they can also achieve their goals. Maybe I will be able to start a scholarship fund to help those who are in need like me. My first step in making all of this come true is to apply for scholarships and work to earn the money to pay for college. I have been accepted to Tuskegee University and this is a dream come true to me. I want to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Alfreda Johnson Webb and Dr. Jane Hinton, the first black veterinarians in our country. They paved the way so that I could have a footprint to follow. I am looking forward to this new journey in my life. I am in financial need and receiving this scholarship will help me tremendously. My family is not able to help me financially at this time, but I know that I have their support in other ways. This scholarship will make education more obtainable for me. It will also alleviate the stress I have about paying for school and allow me to concentrate more on learning and studying.
