Dear Scholarship, I believe giving is sharing. The COVID-19 pandemic encouraged me to give more time keeping people healthy. This includes giving time to educate and support physical health awareness and mental health awareness. For example, educating communities all around the world may positively effect all of us. Conversely, I have witnessed mental health challenges have a negative impact on relationships. For example, my sister endures mental health challenges inundated with triggers. Witnessing mental health degradation of a loved one is heart wrenching! I suggest sharing positive and joyful moments with those we care about as treatment. I have found this suggestion to be most uplifting for me in addition to uplifting those I may interact with. Mental health, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, has detrimentally impacted not only Americans, but people all over the globe. This motivated me to do all I can to fight for humanity by supporting efforts to combat mental health challenges. My chosen approach to fight for humanity is pursuing a Masters of Public Health (MPH). Upon completion of my MPH, I will seek opportunities within the Department of Health and Human Services along with the World Health Organization.

Dear Scholarship, My experiences with mental health have influenced my beliefs, relationships, and career aspirations in the most unanticipated ways! One of my beliefs is that mental health is very complex in that there is no one size fits all. The perception of what mental health is or should be may be quite skewed. Having multiple family and friends from multiple generations with mental health challenges has enforced the concept that it is indiscriminate and may manifest from mild to severe depending on the individual. My relationships with family and friends with mental health challenges has had a profound impact on how we interact. For example, my sister has had mental health challenges that are inundated with verbal and physical triggers that could ignite into a spontaneous fit of instant rage and conflict. To witness mental health degradation of a loved one to any degree can be one of the most heart wrenching situations one may encounter. It took many years of very challenging support to help encourage my sister to accept the medical attention she needed and required to steer her on the best road toward recovery of her sanity and her life. The very deliberate and enduring support for my sister’s adversity was finally achieved this past year which enabled her regain visitation with her son, reclaim her life, and re-engage with family. I have observed numerous instances in which mental health, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, has detrimentally impacted not only Americans, but people all over the globe. This motivated me to want to do all I can to fight for humanity by supporting efforts to combat mental health challenges. My chosen approach to fight for humanity is pursuing a Masters of Public Health (MPH). Upon completion of my MPH, I will seek opportunities within the Department of Health and Human Services along with the World Health Organization.

Dear Scholarship, I think confidence is one's strong belief and conviction in what they are doing! The COVID-19 pandemic has scared me in ways I had never conceived.

I envision a well informed Black community through comprehensive Health Education. Know who to properly care for one's self may be a first step in helping others do the same. Collectively, this collaborative effort may be practiced across the globe and serve well in the effort to protect us all. My plan is to complete my Master of Public Health (MPH) and joint with the World Health Organization. I believe deploying a global collaborative effort may be our best hope of sustaining and promoting an informed and unified Global Health Community. I plan to use my MPH to spread that know to all people regardless of social or economic status as all communities are part of the Global Health Community.

Providing health education to others is way to help others and my self. I subscribe to the philosophy that keeping others in the know of keeping them selves healthy may also contribute to keeping me and others healthy by arming people with the health knowledge that may prevent the spread of contagious germs similar to COVID-19. The hope is if individuals know how to protect themselves, they may also be protecting others.

That which I have learned about myself over my lifetime is that I have found value in the appreciation of others. Not just other people, but their costumes, traditions, experience, and perhaps more importantly, other perception - right, wrong, or indifferent. Being a grown up with a family with multiple children, it has been most interesting to observe what is valuable versus what others value in contrast to my own perceived values. My take away is perhaps one should continuously explore opportunities that may enrich or broadened ones view in hopes that one day true sight may become apparent without preconceived notions or bias.

We should learn how to better take care of and protect each other as one united global community! The reason is we all are a part of the global community, but some need a reminder or explanations of humanity.
