I, Jay Lennux, have struggled my whole life with mental health. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of four. At the age of twelve, I was diagnosed with ADHD/ Bipolar /Depression. I went through a traumatic experience at the age of twelve that led to a diagnosis of PTSD. At this point in my life, I am in care and on medication that successfully prepared me for my next step. I began self-medicating with street drugs because I refused to take my prescribed medications for many years. I was in denial that there was anything wrong with me. My relationships with family and friends were minimal, and my education was affected as well. I dropped out. I didn't join a gang. I wasn't a thief. I was just lost and in denial. If I did take any prescribed medications, they didn't work. I didn't trust people/counselors enough to talk to them. I always thought they were out to get me or my parents. My mind thought, "It's all so twisted." The one time I opened up to a school counselor, they told my parents what I told them. I lost trust in counseling for years, I felt so betrayed. That was long before self-medicating. Well, eighteen years later, I was fed up and tired of being tired. I realized what I was doing wasn't working and I needed help. I relocated, got into care, began intensive therapy four years and seven months ago and have been clean and cigarette-free. I'm thriving in counseling and group therapy. I'm active in my church, and I was on the Secretary of the Advisory Board at the nonprofit Beat Aids. Through these growth opportunities, I have established an amazing support system. I moved to Texas, and this became home. I met the most incredible people here from my doctors, nurse practitioner, counselors, peers, friends, and colleagues. They all believe in me and have so much faith in everything I do. They are so amazing. I can pick up the phone and know they'll answer. They haven't let me down. They've been beside me from my worst and through all my successes. It's motivating to keep going. No one pushes me, I'm at my own pace, and everything I do is voluntary. They have given me all the resources, and I have used them wisely. I appreciate them so much. I have accomplished getting my GED, got Confirmed into the Catholic Church, got a phlebotomy Certification, became a Notary public, and started two small businesses. Since coming to Texas, I have been able to pay my debt almost off. I owe no student loans. I am pursuing an associate's degree in business. I have great credit and an excellent Paydex score as well as business credit. I don't have the knowledge behind me for marketing, and there is plenty to learn about running a business. I'm attending Northwest Vista College to learn; I want to be successful in my business. I'm lacking in certain areas, and this scholarship will help break barriers for me. I won't need to pull a loan. I can cover tuition. I can afford transportation costs. I could use the help in general with managing my mental health condition while meeting my academic goals.
