Mental health has shaped almost every part of who I am today. It has affected the way I think, the way I connect with people, and the way I view success and the world around me. Growing up, I learned very early that life can change in an instant. My family struggled financially for most of my childhood, and because I was raised in a single-parent household, I watched my mom carry the weight of responsibilities that no one should have to handle alone. Even though she always tried to protect my siblings and me from stress, I could still see how hard life was for her. Seeing that at a young age affected me mentally and emotionally more than I realized at the time. One of the hardest things my family went through was losing our house in a fire. I still remember how unreal everything felt afterward. One moment we had a home, and the next we were trying to figure out where we were going to sleep and how we were going to rebuild our lives. Experiencing homelessness and constantly moving around made me feel unstable for a long time. I had to switch schools multiple times, leave behind friends, and adjust to completely new environments over and over again. It became difficult to feel settled anywhere. While other kids worried about typical teenage problems, I worried about things like whether my family would be okay financially or if we would have a permanent place to stay. For a long time, I kept a lot of my emotions to myself. I felt like I had to stay strong because my mom was already dealing with so much. There were days when I felt mentally drained, anxious, or overwhelmed, but I still showed up to school and tried my best because I knew giving up would only make things harder for my future. Those experiences taught me that mental health is not always something people can see. Someone can smile, laugh, and seem perfectly fine while silently carrying fear, stress, or sadness. Because of that, I became more understanding toward other people. I learned how important kindness can be because you never truly know what someone else is going through behind closed doors. My struggles with mental health also shaped the relationships in my life. Going through difficult situations made me value genuine support and connection more deeply. I became closer to my family because we had to rely on each other during our hardest moments. Watching my mom continue to push forward no matter how exhausted or stressed she was inspired me in ways I cannot fully explain. She taught me resilience without ever needing to say the word. Even during times when we had very little, she still found ways to encourage me, remind me to focus on school, and tell me that my current situation did not determine my future. Her strength became one of the main reasons I kept believing in myself, even during moments when I felt lost. At the same time, my experiences made me more compassionate toward others. I know what it feels like to struggle silently, so I always try to be someone people feel comfortable talking to. I understand how important it is to have someone who listens without judgment. Mental health challenges taught me empathy, patience, and emotional awareness. Instead of becoming bitter because of what I went through, I became more determined to bring positivity and support into the lives of people around me. These experiences have also strongly influenced my goals for the future. Going through instability made me realize how important security and opportunity really are. That is one of the reasons I want to attend college and pursue a career in business and real estate. I want to build a life where my family no longer has to worry about survival or financial hardship. I want to create stability not only for myself, but for the people I love. My goals are bigger than just making money. They are about breaking cycles and proving that difficult beginnings do not have to define someone’s future. Mental health has also changed my understanding of success. When I was younger, I thought success only meant having money or a good career. Now I understand that true success also means healing, peace, and growth. It means learning how to keep going even when life feels unfair. It means taking care of yourself mentally and emotionally while still chasing your dreams. I learned that strength is not pretending everything is okay all the time. Real strength is continuing to move forward while acknowledging the challenges you face. Although my experiences were painful, they shaped me into a stronger and more determined person. They taught me resilience, empathy, and perseverance. They showed me the importance of mental health and how deeply it can affect every part of someone’s life. Most importantly, they taught me that difficult experiences do not have to stop someone from succeeding. Instead, they can become the reason someone works even harder to create a better future. Today, I carry those lessons with me in everything I do. Every goal I pursue is driven by the hope of creating stability, peace, and opportunity for myself and my family. My experiences with mental health did not break me. They helped shape me into someone who understands struggle, values growth, and refuses to give up, no matter how difficult life becomes.

A lot of people are very surprised when I say I love math because most people think of it as stressful or confusing. For me, math has always been one of the very few things in life that made sense to me. Growing up, my life was not always stable. My family struggled financially, we experienced homelessness, and after our house burned down, it felt like everything changed overnight. During those moments, school became one of the only places where I felt focused and in control, and math especially gave me that feeling. What I love most about math is that it challenges me to think differently. There is always a solution, even if it takes time to figure out. I like how math pushes me to be patient and work through problems step by step. It taught me not to give up when something seems difficult the first time. That mindset has helped me outside of school too. Life does not always work out perfectly, but math showed me that problems can be solved if you stay determined and keep trying. I also love how rewarding math feels. There is something satisfying about finally understanding a difficult concept after struggling with it. Every time I solve a problem I once thought I could not do, it gives me confidence in myself. Math made me realize that I am capable of more than I think, especially during times when I doubted myself. Another reason I enjoy math is because it connects to my future goals. I want to study business and eventually work in real estate and own my own business one day. Math is a huge part of those careers because it involves problem solving, budgeting, planning, and making smart decisions. Knowing that the skills I learn now can help me build the future I want motivates me to keep improving. Math is more than just numbers to me. It represents growth, persistence, and opportunity. It reminds me that even when life feels complicated, there is always a way to work through challenges and find a solution.

The person who has supported me the most throughout my educational journey and throughout my entire life has always been my mom. Growing up in a single parent household, I watched her carry so many responsibilities that most people could not imagine handling alone. Even when life became overwhelming, she never stopped pushing me to stay focused on school and believe that I could create a better future for myself. Her support shaped me into someone who understands the value of hard work, resilience, and determination. My mom had me at a young age, and despite everything she has gone through, she always made sure my siblings and I felt loved and cared for. We struggled financially for a long time, and there were moments when it felt like everything was falling apart. One of the hardest experiences my family faced was losing our house in a fire. After that, we dealt with homelessness and constantly moving from place to place. Changing schools and never really feeling settled made it difficult to stay motivated sometimes. But through all of it, my mom kept reminding me that our situation did not define who I was or what I could become. Seeing her continue to fight for us every single day motivates me more than anything else. Even when she was exhausted, stressed, or unsure of how bills would be paid, she still encouraged me to keep trying in school because she believed education could open doors for me that she never had. Watching her sacrifice so much has made me appreciate opportunities more deeply and pushed me to work harder toward my goals. I honor my mom by refusing to give up on myself. Every achievement I reach is not just for me, but for her too. My dream is to attend college, earn my degree in business, and eventually build a successful career in real estate. I want to create stability not only for myself, but for my family as well. I want my mom to finally be able to relax and feel proud knowing that all of her sacrifices meant something. Her support has been instrumental in my life because, as a child raised in a single parent household, I learned strength from watching her survive difficult situations with courage. She taught me how to keep going even when life feels unfair. Without her constant encouragement, love, and sacrifices, I would not have the mindset or motivation I carry today.

The person I lost was my older cousin Jermayne Antonio Greer. He ended up committing suicide at the age of 20. He had went through a lot at his time of being in the military. We are from Kansas City, Kansas and after high school he went straight there a lot of our family members didn’t make it to college, so I know that he was going so he can pay for that. We miss him with all of our heart, sadly he wouldn’t tell us fully what had happened to him in this time of being in the military. It was very unexpected before everything was really good, but we do know that his mental state after he came back after a while wasn’t the best. We don’t blame the military for anything, but I would love to keep his name alive because he had so much life ahead of him. 

Applying for this scholarship means a lot to me, not just because of the financial help, but because of what it represents support, opportunity, and being seen for who I am and what I’ve been through. Right now, I’m focused on finishing high school strong and preparing for college, where I plan to major in business. My goal is to eventually earn my bachelor’s degree, and possibly even go further to get my master’s. I’ve always been interested in real estate, and one day I want to become a realtor and build my own real estate business. I like the idea of helping people find homes while also creating something for myself that can grow over time. For me, business isn’t just about making money it’s about independence, stability, and being able to give back. My journey hasn’t been easy. I’ve experienced homelessness and even lost my home in a fire. There were times when everything felt unstable, and I had to switch schools multiple times. That made it hard to stay consistent, but it also made me stronger. I learned how to adapt, how to stay focused even when things around me were falling apart, and how to keep going when giving up would’ve been easier. Those experiences shaped me into someone who doesn’t take opportunities for granted. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community has also played a big role in my life. It’s taught me the importance of being true to myself, even when it’s not always easy. I’ve learned how important it is to have support and safe spaces, and I know what it feels like to want to be accepted for who you are. Because of that, I try to be someone who brings positivity and understanding to others. Even in small ways whether it’s listening to a friend or standing up for someone I try to make a difference. In the future, I definitely see myself giving back to my community. Once I’m in a stable place financially, I want to help others who are going through similar struggles, especially young people who feel lost or unsupported. Whether that’s through mentorship, community programs, or even just sharing my story, I want people to know that where you start doesn’t have to define where you end up. Financially, college is going to be a challenge for me. Coming from a background where stability hasn’t always been guaranteed, paying for school is something I worry about. This scholarship would take a huge weight off my shoulders and allow me to focus more on my education and future instead of constantly stressing about money. It would bring me one step closer to my goals and give me the chance to build the life I’ve been working toward. Overall, I’m determined to succeed not just for myself, but for my family and my future. I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve never let that stop me from dreaming bigger. This scholarship would be more than just financial support it would be a reminder that my story matters and that my future is worth investing in.

The night I learned my house was burning down, I wasn’t home but staying with grandparents because we were struggling to pay bills. I was still young, and even though life had never been easy, I always felt safe in the home my mother had built for us. She had me at sixteen, and by nineteen she had three kids. Even with all the challenges she faced, she gave us stability, warmth, and a sense of pride in the little we had. That house was her victory. It was proof that she could create something better for us than what she grew up with. So when a message came through saying our house was on fire, none of us wanted to believe it. My mother thought it had to be a mistake. My siblings and I sat frozen, waiting for her reaction to tell us what to feel. But when she rushed outside to meet the neighbors who confirmed it, I saw something in her face I had never seen before fear mixed with heartbreak. In the days that followed, I learned what it means to lose more than just a building that we had once called home. We lost birth certificates, school documents, clothes, food, photos, and small memories we would never get back. Even though the community helped us with donations, it didn’t erase the emotional weight. My siblings and I struggled to understand how everything could disappear so quickly. I remember lying awake at night thinking, “What if we had been inside? What would have happened to us? As time went on, something in me started to began to shift. Losing everything made me see how much my mother had truly sacrificed. Watching her rebuild our life piece by piece showed me what resilience really looks like at that young age. Instead of letting the fire define us, she used it as motivation. And I did, too. 
  I learned to appreciate things I had taken for granted such as a warm meal, privacy, a place to call home. I learned that comfort can disappear in an instant, and the only thing you can rely on is your ability to keep moving forward. Most importantly, I learned the value of family. Through all the loss, we still had each other. I realized that even when material things burn away, the people who stay with you are what matter the most. 
  The fire also pushed me closer to my faith. For the first time, I found myself praying out of gratitude instead of fear. Gratitude for surviving, for second chances, for the ability to rebuild. It changed how I see struggle not as something meant to break me, but something meant to shape me. 
  Today, we live in a better home, one that symbolizes strength rather than loss. But the lesson of the fire stays with me. It taught me that while I can’t control what happens to me, I can control how I respond. I’ve learned how to work hard, how to stay grounded, and how to appreciate everything, even the small things. 
  Losing my home didn’t just challenge me it changed me. It taught me to value resilience, gratitude, and the unshakable strength of family. And those are lessons I carry into every opportunity and every goal I set for my future.

My goals in life are to attend a university and earn my bachelor’s degree in business, and hopefully continue on to get my master’s as well. I’ve always wanted to build something of my own, which is why I plan to become a realtor and eventually own my own real estate business. To me, real estate is more than just buying and selling houses it’s about helping people find stability, security, and a place they can truly call home. That idea is especially meaningful to me because I know what it feels like to not always have that stability. Growing up, I faced challenges that forced me to grow up quickly. Experiencing homelessness, losing my home in a fire, and having to switch schools multiple times made life unpredictable. There were moments where everything felt uncertain, but those experiences shaped me into a stronger and more determined person. Instead of letting those struggles define me, I’ve used them as motivation to push myself harder and want more out of life. They showed me how important it is to create a future where I’m not just surviving, but truly thriving. I plan to reach my goals by staying focused on my education and taking every opportunity to grow. I know success won’t come easy, but I’m willing to work for it. Whether it’s long nights studying, staying disciplined, or pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, I’m committed to doing whatever it takes. I believe that consistency, determination, and hard work will lead me to the future I’ve always imagined for myself. I also plan to create a legacy that goes beyond my own success. I don’t just want to make it for myself I want to open doors for others. One day, through my real estate business, I hope to help families find homes and create opportunities for people who may feel like those dreams are out of reach. I want my business to stand for trust, growth, and community, not just profit. I also hope to inspire others, especially young people who come from difficult situations, to believe that they can overcome anything. I shine my light by staying resilient and determined, even when life gets hard. I’ve learned how to keep going no matter what, and I try to uplift others by being a positive example. My ambition, my strength, and my mindset are what set me apart. Even through challenges, I continue to push forward, and that’s something I take pride in. No matter what obstacles come my way, I’m determined to turn my goals into reality. My past does not limit me it motivates me. I am focused on building a future that not only changes my life, but allows me to make a lasting impact on others.

The night I learned my house was burning down, I wasn’t even home. My family had been struggling to pay bills, so we were staying with my grandmother for a few days. I was still young, and even though life had never been easy, I always felt safe in the home my mother had built for us. She had me at sixteen, and by nineteen she had three kids. Even with all the challenges she faced, she gave us stability, warmth, and a sense of pride in the little we had. That house was her victory. It was proof that she could create something better for us than what she grew up with. So when a message came through saying our house was on fire, none of us wanted to believe it.

But when she rushed outside to meet the neighbors who confirmed it, I saw something in her face I had never seen before fear mixed with heartbreak. As we drove to the scene, I watched the smoke fill the sky, and it felt like everything we knew was disappearing in front of us. Standing there, I felt powerless. Windows cracked and broke. People took videos. Reporters showed up. And I watched my mother cry in a way that felt like something inside her had shattered. She is a strong woman, one who always kept going but seeing her break made the fire feel even more real. In the days that followed, I learned what it means to lose more than just a building. We lost birth certificates, school documents, clothes, food, photos, and small memories we would never get back.

My main academic goal is to pursue a degree in business and become a realtor so I have a career I am building that has stability not only for myself, but for the families and communities I hope to serve. My interest in the business world comes from growing up without the kind of security that a stable home would mainly provide. Experiencing the many financial challenges, and unpredictable living situations taught me early on how deeply a home affects every part of a person’s life. Instead of letting those experiences discourage me or bring me down as a whole, they inspired me to dedicate my education to a field that offers both opportunity and impact for others. To achieve the goal I have set for my self , I plan to focus my studies on real estate fundamentals, such as finance, development, and investment. These subjects will prepare me to navigate the business side of being into real estate and understanding the fundamentals like contracts, analyzing markets, and managing properties. I want to study business and communication, because being successful in business requires strong relationships, and the ability to understand people’s needs. Academically, I am committed to challenging myself so I can graduate with the skills and knowledge necessary to begin my journey in working in this field. Education is not only a requirement for my career but it is a path to transformation. I want to gain as many hands on experience through internships , business and real estate workshops so I can learn directly from the people that I know would benefit me the most, who have built many successful careers. These opportunities will help me develop the confidence I need and give me the practical understanding I need to one day open my own business. So I can’t provide people with safe and understanding homes just right for them. To fulfill and understand the needs of people and to give them a safe environment that I would always aim for. Receiving this scholarship would do more than just support my education but would support my purpose. By keeping my positive mindset I definitely believe that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to show that my goals can be pursued and succeed by just getting just a little help from my peers I know that my goal that I have set for myself will be accomplished

These opportunities will help me develop the confidence I need and give me the practical understanding I need to one day open my own business. So I can’t provide people with safe and understanding homes just right for them. To fulfill and understand the needs of people and to give them a safe environment that I would always aim for. Receiving this scholarship would do more than just support my education but would support my purpose. By keeping my positive mindset I definitely believe that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to show that my goals can be pursued and succeed by just getting just a little help from my peers I know that my goal that I have set for myself will be accomplished

My main academic goal is to pursue a degree in business and become a realtor so I have a career I am building that has stability not only for myself, but for the families and communities I hope to serve. My interest in the business world comes from growing up without the kind of security that a stable home would mainly provide. Experiencing the many financial challenges, and unpredictable living situations taught me early on how deeply a home affects every part of a person’s life. Instead of letting those experiences discourage me or bring me down as a whole, they inspired me to dedicate my education to a field that offers both opportunity and impact for others. To achieve the goal I have set for my self , I plan to focus my studies on real estate fundamentals, such as finance, development, and investment. These subjects will prepare me to navigate the business side of being into real estate and understanding the fundamentals like contracts, analyzing markets, and managing properties. I want to study business and communication, because being successful in business requires strong relationships, and the ability to understand people’s needs. Academically, I am committed to challenging myself so I can graduate with the skills and knowledge necessary to begin my journey in working in this field.
