      I want everyone to read Frankenstein because it is very interesting. I will be writing about a case of monsters that have taken over the world and how the humans are trying to avoid the monsters. It involves scary creatures and there is much that is unknown about these monsters. I feel like this relates to a current issue because as we are alive there is much that is unseen and we do not know what is to come. I will start by talking about a movie that is my favoriteI liked talking about this novel in class. It was one of the most interesting movies that I have ever talked about. Victor spends some time creating a creature that he thought he would like out of old body parts. One night while in his apartment he brings his creation to life. When he looks at the creature/monster that he has created,the sight horrifies him and scares him. He dislikes the sight of the monster and wants to get rid of it immediately. The monster had run away and Victor was relieved. I want to relate this to Bird Box because she is relieved when she could not see any more monsters in her sight because she is still frightened as to what is to come. Though the monster is gone, Victor is feeling sick. Sickened by his horrific creation. He receives a call and he is informed that is brother had been murdered. He also receives the news his other loved one had been murdered. The monster approaches him one day and tells him what had happened. The monster begs Victor to create a friend for him, but Victor is hesitant to do this since he is already traumatized. Victor refused to create a second monster because he is horrified by the thought of creating a second monster. The monster is persuading him to create it because he is lonely and he eventually convinces Victor. a, Victor heads for England, accompanied by Henry, to gather information for the creation of a female monster. One night, Victor looks out the window and he sees the monster staring at him in a frightening way. As he is horrified by his second monster, Victor destroys his new creation.( Frankenstein, Chapter 13 page 14) The monster is very mad at Victor about what he did and he plots for revenge.

      I am a college senior who is majoring in Health administration. When I ddrank alcohol my grades dropped. I did not drink alcohol ever again and I am working on improving my grades. Substance abuse looks like abusing drugs. You can help a loved one with substance abuse disorder by taking them to rehab and educating them on the effects of drugs and alcohol. This can take place at events such as fraternities and other parties. There are many consequences to addiction. Early use of cannabis and alcohol is very bad for your health. The human brain develops throughout adolescence and well beyond. Marijuana use and alcohol use can harm learning, thinking and memory development and the use of the drug has been linked to mental health issues, including psychosis, as well as other physical health problems such as anxiety and depression. We can improve the drug by adding something that improves your physical health. According to one recent study, even a little cannabis and a little alcohol consumed by a teenager can cause changes in the part of the brain involved in emotion-related processing, learning, and memory formation. We also know the earlier a young person starts to use any mood- or mind-altering substance, the greater the possibility of developing a substance use disorder. Indeed, at our addiction treatment center for adolescents and young adults in Minnesota, 89 percent of our 734 residential patients in 2017 had cannabis in their substance use history, and 84 percent were diagnosed with cannabis use disorder. Each year, we treat approximately two dozen young people who have cannabis-involved psychosis. Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs, and people who smoke marijuana frequently can have the same breathing problems as those who smoke tobacco. These problems include daily cough and phlegm, more frequent lung illness, and a higher risk of lung infections. Researchers so far haven't found a higher risk for lung cancer in people who smoke marijuana. Increased heart rate. Marijuana raises heart rate for up to 3 hours after smoking. This effect may increase the chance of heart attack. Older people and those with heart problems may be at higher risk. Problems with child development during and after pregnancy. One study found that about 20% of pregnant women 24 years old and younger screened positive for marijuana. However, this study also found that women were about twice as likely to screen positive for marijuana use via a drug test than they state in self-reported measures. This suggests that self-reported rates of marijuana use in pregnant females are not an accurate measure of marijuana use and may be underreporting their use. Additionally, in one study of dispensaries, nonmedical personnel at marijuana dispensaries were recommending marijuana to pregnant women for nausea, but medical experts warn against it. This concerns medical experts because marijuana use during pregnancy is linked to lower birth weight and increased risk of both brain, and behavioral problems, and disabilities in babies. Scientists should make marijuana a healthier option. If a pregnant woman uses marijuana, the drug may affect certain developing parts of the fetus's brain. Children exposed to marijuana in the womb have an increased risk of problems with attention, memory, and problem-solving compared to unexposed children. Some research also suggests that moderate amounts of THC are excreted into the breast milk of nursing mothers. With regular use, marijuana can reach amounts in breast milk that could affect the baby's developing brain. Other recent research suggests an increased risk of preterm births. More research is needed. Marijuana also causes Intense nausea and vomiting.

      Mental health is important because it affect show you live.I want to use my education to work in the mental health field one day. I may want to become a therapist for those who are struggling with their mental health. It can affect your performance because if you are feeling down then you will not feel up to doing work. I have struggled with depression and anxiety in my life. Depression is defined as a brain disorder that can cause a person to feel a persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest in activities that they once enjoyed. I have struggled with depression for many years. It can affect how we think and behave. I noticed it affected some of my relationships with people. Sometimes I do not want to be around people or be social. Depression is a serious medical illness that can lead to many emotional problems and physical problems. Some symptoms of depression include feeling sad, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, and difficulty concentrating. I have experienced all these symptoms especially loss of appetite. I was really skinny at one point due to depression Many people experience depression throughout their lives and College students may experience depression at some point in their years in college. I have noticed my depression getting worse throughout college mainly due to the stress of figuring out how to pay for school and wondering if I am in the right major for me. Loans also stress me out too and cause depression. That is why I am applying for this scholarship to reduce the need for costly loans.Research shows that our diet can influence our mental health, for both good and bad. Also getting enough sleep and reducing stress can help with depression. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is associated with better mental well-being, foods that are high in fat are associated with mental illnesses and obesity later in life. Too many unhealthy foods have a negative impact on our mental and physical well-being. I noticed when I eat unhealthily, my depression got way worse. Exercise has also been shown to improve mental and physical health significantly. Exercise has also been proven to add years to your life. Sitting down too much can cause several mental disorders and will also make you gain weight. Sitting down for long periods of time can also cause overthinking which is associated with depression and anxiety. Extra weight makes you less healthy and more prone to developing illnesses such as diabetes and conditions such as hypertension. They can also add to your mental distress. Yoga and meditating is powerful choice for stress reduction, as well as good exercise. The methods such as going to bed and getting enough exercise and sleep and getting sufficient exercise will all have a significant impact on your mental health and psychical health. Studies also show too much stress and fatigue make it hard to eat healthy foods. Sleep deprivation has been shown to trigger depression and anxiety. Exercising can give us the energy that we need and take the stress off our shoulders. Stress feeds mental illness, an illness feeds stress. Taking steps to minimize the stress in your life can help slow this vicious cycle. Meditating for half an hour a day for a few days in a row can reduce stress and clear your mind significantly. Also, meditation can improve symptoms of anxiety and depression. Yoga is another powerful choice for stress reduction, as well as good exercise.

      I want to make a change in the world and reduce the impact of climate change. The environment seems to be getting bad because of climate change and people not saving the environment and doing good to the environment. Global climate change has made some negative effects on the environment and it seems like it is only going to get worse. It can affect the forest because it can cause forest fires due to the overheating of the environment. We can go green by using sustainable sources and saving the environment. We can achieve Sustainable Development Goals by helping the planet by not wasting things such as products, cutting down their energy consumption, and choosing better equipment, especially in the beauty industry. We can reduce energy consumption by turning off the lights when they are not needed, lowering the air conditioning, and unplugging devices when they are not being used. Businesses can also reduce waste such as using plastic cups instead of paper cups, Reusing paper and recycling things that need to be recycled and thrown away . Global climate change has caused some natural disasters such as wildfires, and ice on rivers is not staying icy because the ice just melts so fast. Some negative effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring and it is getting really bad. Some negative effects include loss of sea ice, fires in forests, accelerated sea-level rise, longer, more intense heat waves and natural disasters which are really dangerous for the country. Scientists believe that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come. The extent of climate change effects on individual regions will vary over time and with the ability of different societal and environmental systems to mitigate or adapt to change. The global climate is projected to continue to change over this century and beyond and make things worse, so the world needs to prepare for what is to come. The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping gasses emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to those emissions. Because human-induced warming is superimposed on a naturally varying climate, the temperature rise has not been, and will not be, uniform or smooth across the country or over time.The length of the frost-free season (and the corresponding growing season) has been increasing nationally since the 1980s, with the largest increases occurring in the western United States, affecting ecosystems and agriculture. Across the United States, the growing season is projected to continue to lengthen. In a future in which heat-trapping gas emissions continue to grow, increases of a month or more in the lengths of the frost-free and growing seasons are projected across most of the U.S. by the end of the century, with slightly smaller increases in the northern Great Plains. The largest increases in the frost-free season (more than eight weeks) are projected for the western U.S., particularly in high-elevation and coastal areas.

      Audra Dominguez "Be Brave" Scholarship
      I believe I deserve this scholarship because of my diligence and perseverance throughout school. I always strive for excellence in school even when obstacles get in the way. I am extremely passionate about school, going to college to further my education, and being able to work as a health administrator in the future. Ever since I was a child, I knew the importance of my education. My parents would always tell me the importance of education, so they would teach me before I even got to kindergarten. This scholarship will have a significant impact on my education and my life personally. It will lessen the cost of college tuition because college is very expensive. I could use this scholarship for my necessities such as a brand new laptop, books, pencils, erasers, paper, and notebooks. This scholarship will also help me perform better academically because I won’t have to stress about my finances because I will have some money to finance my education. Receiving this scholarship will take the financial burden off my shoulders and my parents. In school, I did really well and was on Honor Roll most of the time, but around this time I started to face adversity. School was difficult for me because I struggled with bullying and being left out. I was different from a lot of the children and didn’t really fit in well. I was focused on my school work a lot, so I was often called “nerd” and many other offensive names. Kids can be cruel sometimes, but I didn’t let their offenses stop me from focusing on my school work. Sometimes the bullying would get so bad that it would cause me to cry myself to sleep. I leaned on family and friends for support and their advice and kind words helped me. But through all of this, I still did well in middle school. I received many awards and got invited to luncheons for my positive behavior and good grades. My parents were extremely proud of me for all that I accomplished and the challenges I overcame. I am currently a college student. Some of the things that keep me motivated are knowing that one day I will have a job that I will love and a bright future. Motivation makes me stay up at late hours to finish a task, because I know one day I will see the benefits of my labor. Motivation makes me get up and go to school early even when I don’t feel like it because I know the importance of my education. Whenever I feel like I am losing motivation, I always think about my goals and how good I’ll feel when I accomplish them. I know my diligence and perseverance throughout the school will get me a great job and a bright future. My parents are great motivators and they inspire me to be the best I can be. They always tell me how important education is and because I’ll gain more knowledge and get the job I want in the future. There may be challenges along the way in achieving my goals, but I won’t let these challenges overtake me. I will not let adversity hinder me from achieving my dream of becoming an administrator. To conclude, I believe I should be selected for this scholarship because I always strive for excellence and have remained diligent throughout the school.

      Jeannine Schroeder Women in Public Service Memorial Scholarship
      An important social justice issue that needs to be addressed is affordable health care. I want to make healthcare affordable for people. I believe healthcare should be universal because of the affordable care act. In this paper, I am going to discuss what the Affordable Healthcare Act is and my stance on this law. The Affordable Care Act was designed to improve the healthcare and health insurance business in the United States of America for people who qualify for it. Some of the purposes of the Affordable Care act are better healthcare, more rights, more security. My opinion on the affordable care act is that it is very beneficial for Americans that can qualify for the Affordable Care Act. It has helped over 20 million Americans and there are many other benefits which I will explain. I will list the pros of why the Affordable care act is helpful for Americans and beneficial for Americans. I will also list the cons of the Affordable Care Act but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. The first pro I will list is that more Americans have health insurance and that more than 20 million people have received health insurance and coverage. That is a lot of Americans who are getting benefits from it. According to a study there has been more than 55 percent of people who believe that the Affordable Care Act is beneficial to Americans and that it has helped them a great deal. The second pro I will list is that people with certain conditions can not be denied coverage. When someone was living with a condition, it made it hard for people to get health coverage. A lot of insurance companies could not cover treatments for conditions such as cancer and diabetes. With the Affordable Care Act , you can’t be denied coverage because of a pre-existing health problem such as cancer and diabetes. Another Pro of the Aca is that there are no time limits. Before the ACA, some people with chronic health problems ran out of insurance coverage. Insurance companies set limits on the amount of money they would spend on an individual consumer. Another pro is that the Affordable Care Act made prescription drugs more affordable and cost less. Prescription drugs were very expensive but the Affordable Care Act helped to lessen the costs. A lot of elderly people are unable to afford all their medications. Now I will start by listing the cons of the Affordable Care Act and how there may be some disadvantages to the Act. There aren't many disadvantages and that's why I support the Act instead of being against it. There are more pros and cons to this Act. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages of the Act and more than 55 percent of people believe that the Act is more beneficial than does harm. A con to the Affordable Care Act is that taxes are going up because of it. A lot of new taxes were passed into law to help pay for the ACA. Taxes were also increased for people who made more money than people who did not make more money. The tax issue was a big problem for many consumers, especially those who made more money than other people. Also The Affordable care Act website had a lot of technical problems and issues when it was first launched.

      The environment seems to be getting bad because of climate change and people not saving the environment and doing good to the environment. Global climate change has made some negative effects on the environment and it seems like it is only going to get worse. It can effect the forest because it can cause forest fires due to the overheating of the environment. We can go green by using sutainable sources and saving the environment. We can can achieve Sustainable Development Goals by helping the planet by not wasting things such as products, cutting down their energy consumption, and choosing better equipment, especially in the beauty industry. We can can reduce energy consumption by turning off the lights when they are not needed, lowering the air conditioning, and unplugging devices when they are not being used. Businesses can also reduce waste such as using plastic cups instead of paper cups, Reusing papers and recycling things that need to be recycled and thrown away . Global climate change has caused some natural disasters such as wildfires, and ice on rivers is not staying icy because the ice just melts so fast. Some negative effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring and it is getting really bad. Some negative effects include loss of sea ice, fires in forests, accelerated sea-level rise, and longer, more intense heat waves and natural disasters which are really dangerous for the country. Scientists believe that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come. The extent of climate change effects on individual regions will vary over time and with the ability of different societal and environmental systems to mitigate or adapt to change. The global climate is projected to continue to change over this century and beyond and make things worse, so the world needs to prepare for what is to come. The magnitude of climate change beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat-trapping gasses emitted globally, and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to those emissions. Because human-induced warming is superimposed on a naturally varying climate, the temperature rise has not been, and will not be, uniform or smooth across the country or over time. The length of the frost-free season (and the corresponding growing season) has been increasing nationally since the 1980s, with the largest increases occurring in the western United States, affecting ecosystems and agriculture. Across the United States, the growing season is projected to continue to lengthen. In a future in which heat-trapping gas emissions continue to grow, increases of a month or more in the lengths of the frost-free and growing seasons are projected across most of the U.S. by the end of the century, with slightly smaller increases in the northern Great Plains. The largest increases in the frost-free season (more than eight weeks) are projected for the western U.S, particularly in high elevation and coastal areas. The increases will be considerably smaller if heat-trapping gas emissions are reduced. Average U.S. precipitation has increased over the years due to global warming and it is only going to keep increasing due to climate change. but some areas have had increases greater than the national average, and some areas have had decreases. Every area is different.

People around the world work hard to deliver clean, affordable and reliable power to foster healthy communities and keep the lights on. A solar or storage project delivers a number of benefits to the community it serves.Solar energy and renewable energy dramatically reduce their carbon footprint because it helps by generating electricity from clean, renewable energy sources. Local governments can lead by example and help the community by generating energy on site, purchasing green power, or purchasing renewable energy.Using a combination of renewable energy options can help meet local government goals especially in some regions where availability and quality of renewable resources vary. This can keep the community and the earth healthy by using renewable energy. Options for using renewable energy include: Generating renewable energy on-site using a system or device at the location where the power is used. Purchasing green power through renewable energy certificates also known as green tags, green energy certificates, help the power industry that represent the technology and environmental attributes of electricity generated from renewable resources. Also, using bamboo for buildings is a good source. Bamboo is a natural material that is used for many things. It is not just something that pandas eat when they are hungry. Bamboo has many benefits. Bamboo is easier to grow than regular hardwood. The crop is also much cheaper than hardwood because it is a natural product. Bamboo can last up to 30 years as a building material. That is very impressive for something so light and natural.

I prepared gift baskets for them when I was in Key Club and also prepared cans of food for the homeless some years ago. I want to continue helping people all of the years of my life.

      Dr. Meme Heineman Scholarship
      I want to help those who have mental health conditions because I know what it is like to have a condition. I suffer from depression and anxiety and I want to counsel those who have depression and anxiety. It is very hard to live with. I came across a challenge when I did not know how I was going to pay for school. This scholarship also has many unique benefits. It can decrease the need for loans, that need to be repaid. Loans also leave students with a great amount of debt. But a good thing about this scholarship and other scholarships is that it does not need to be repaid, so I can focus on my career, without worrying about the loans that need to be repaid. Scholarships also play a very important role in making college more affordable and it paves the way for attaining my college degree. This scholarship will push me forward in my career. Also, this scholarship will give me confidence because I will have some money to pay for my college necessities. Even if the amount of scholarship money is small or big, every bit counts. I could use this scholarship to pay for a laptop, books, or anything that I may need to help me with my education. Having the necessities and the supplies you need for college is very important because if you don’t have them, you won’t do well academically. So, I can use this money to buy the school supplies I need such as pencils, paper, erasers, paper, notebooks, etc. Also, this scholarship will make help me to do well in college academically. Many students don’t do well in college academically because of their financial problems. Financial issues can cause a student to perform poorly, and if I have enough scholarships to finance my education, I would have less stress. Currently, I am in a tough financial situation. My mother is unemployed and my father is about to retire soon, so receiving this scholarship will take some of the financial burdens off my shoulder and theirs. I don’t want my parents to feel the need to come out of their pockets to pay for my education, so I am taking responsibility for writing this essay in hope of receiving some money. Every little bit of money would help because I don’t want to have to worry about financial issues in college.

      Amelia Boynton and S.W. Boynton Scholarship
      Amelia Boynton and Samuel William Boynton were civil rights activists who played a key role in efforts that led to the passage of The Voting Rights Act of 1965. Amelia and Samuel met in Selma in 1930 and later married in 1936. They shared a passion for improving the lives of African Americans. The Boyntons led the Dallas County Voters League which played a central role in voter registration drives in Selma Alabama. The couple worked together for more than 30 years to bring voting rights, education and property ownership to African Americans in poor, rural areas of Alabama. Samuel Boynton died in 1963 but Amelia Boynton continued to fight for civil and voting rights for African Americans. Amelia is best known for her work in Selma where she helped Martin Luther King Jr. establish his headquarters and helped lead the civil and voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery Alabama. Amelia Boynton was hospitalized after being teargassed and beaten by police at the march. A photograph of Amelia after being teargassed and beaten appeared on the cover of several newspapers. This drew national and international attention to the civil rights movement. When the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law, President Lyndon Johnson invited Amelia Boynton to attend as a guest of honor. Amelia Boynton was also honored by President Barack Obama during his State of the Union address for her role in the voting rights march. Amelia Boynton died in 2015 at the age of 104. She will be remembered for her brave fight for civil and voting rights for African Americans and all Americans.

People need to know that their vote matters and they should exercise the right to vote and keep up the fight for voting rights of all citizens or it can be taken away. I will make a positive impact on the world with my vote because voting does change things. I will continue to be an activist and stand up for the rights for not only African Americans, but for equal opportunities for all people.
      Bold Learning and Changing Scholarship
      I've learned to change my perspective on health and fitness. I was always slim so l felt like l could eat what l wanted and didn't have to exercise. Some of my friends were eating salads and working out and they were still overweight. They said they were jealous because l would eat fast food like burgers and fries, pizza, and Chinese food and never gained a pound. I would have sodas, sweet drinks, and desserts too. I did this from my teenage years until my freshman year of college. Then l began to gain weight and develop skin problems. I also developed acid reflux, anxiety and depression. I told my mother and she suggested that l change my diet. I kept a food diary and noticed that every time l ate certain foods like chocolate, l developed acid reflux. I started to eat better such as grilled chicken and fish instead of fried foods. I even went meatless some days and actually started to like eating salads. I started walking more too. I lost a little weight and the acid reflux stopped. My skin looked better too and l felt better. I've learned to change my perspective on health and fitness because what you eat can affect you. If you eat the right foods in the right amounts and exercise, you can become healthier and happier.
      Bold Financial Literacy Scholarship
      One personal finance lesson that l find important is budgeting. I have learned to have a spending plan based on how much money l have and the expenses l have. I make a list of my expenses each month. Then l subtract those expenses from how much l have in the bank. In other words, l pay them on or before their due date. With the money left l transfer it to savings. This is my emergency fund in case unexpected expenses arise. I also treat myself once in awhile with something l want that's not too expensive. This gives me an incentive to make more money and save more money. By budgeting my money, l have learned to live within my means. That is, l don't spend more than l have. If l don't overspend, l can pay my bills, save, and have money in case of an emergency. I feel secure knowing l have a balanced budget.
      Bold Mentor Scholarship
      "A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself." -Oprah Winfrey For many years, I was a tutor and mentor to students who were in jeopardy of being held back a grade. In addition to improving thier grades, l noticed an improvement in their self confidence and behavior. I started tutoring and mentoring students when l was elementary school. I continued tutoring and mentoring in middle and high school. I noticed the students that were struggling either lacked confidence or had bad behavior. After tutoring them, I would talk to them about being positive and try to build their self esteem. I would also talk to students with bad behavior about why they acted out. I would ask all of the students what they wanted to do after high school. Some said they wanted to go to college or trade school or to get a job. I told them that what they did now will affect if they get into college, trade school, or get the job they want. I told them that their grades and behavior is on their record and they needed to graduate from high school for college ,trade school, and most jobs. I believe the things l said impacted most of them in a good way. Some improved thier grades and behavior and seemed more self confident. Some went on to graduate from high school. I'm now a mentor to my younger cousins and nephew. I tell them the same things l told the students l mentored. I feel that l have made a good impact on them. They make good grades, are self confident, and have good behavior most of the time.
      Youssef University’s College Life Scholarship
      If l win $1000, l would put half towards my tuition and half towards my supply expenses. If my supply expenses are less than $500, l would put the rest in the bank as an emergency fund. If l win a $1000, half of it would go to tuition because l don't want any more student loans. Student loans are a burden because I'm constantly thinking about how I'm going to pay them back. I need to focus on my studies and not think about loans. The other $500 would go towards books and supplies. There is more to college than tuition. Books can cost $100 or more. Also, there are supplies such as notebooks, pens, and other supplies that constantly need to be purchased. Most of my work is done on my laptop so it may need to be replaced soon. That's why l need to reserve and emergency fund. Unexpected expenses are stressful. I need to focus on my studies rather than wondering how I'm going to pay for things. This $1000 scholarship will be greatly appreciated because it will help me pay some of my tuition without loans. It will help with other expenses such as supplies. It will also help me to establish an emergency fund in case unexpected expenses arise.

      My favorite book is "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White. It's my favorite book because although it's a children's book, adults like it too. It has adult themes like true friendship and death. "Charlotte's Web" is about a pig being raised for slaughter. After the owner's daughter Fern pleads for the life of Wilbur, he becomes her pet. She names the pet pig Wilbur. After some time, Wilbur is sold and the new owner, Ferns uncle is raising Wilbur for slaughter. Wilbur meets a spider in the barn of the new owner. They become friends. Fern comes to visit but as she grows up her visits become less and less. Wilbur's new friend Charlotte tries to save him from slaughter. She weaves elaborate webs praising Wilbur. She tries to make him famous so he's less likely to be slaughtered. Charlotte's plan works as the barn becomes a tourist attraction and Wilbur and Charlotte becomes famous. They are entered in the county fair and Wilbur is spared from being slaughtered. Charlotte having a short life span realizes she is dying. She asks Wilbur to take her egg sac containing her children back to the barn. Charlotte dies at the county fairgrounds. When her children hatch, Wilbur looks after them. Although some of her children leave, three of them remain in the barn and becomes Wilbur's new friends. In the years to come, future generations of Charlotte also become Wilbur's friends and keep him company. "Charlotte's Web" is my favorite book because although it's a children's book it has adult themes such as true friendship and death.
      Bold Future of Education Scholarship
      One change that would make education better for future generations is school safety. Students need to know they're safe in order to learn properly. We need to guard our schools like we guard forts and gated communities. Schools need to have properly trained security officers stationed on and around school property. This discourages violence and makes students feel safer. Students will listen and learn more if they feel safe. Schools need to manage visitor access points. We need fences and gates with armed guards around our schools like forts and gated communities. We need to lock school doors to.insure only school personnel and students with digital IDs can enter our schools. We need to monitor and guard all parking lots and unauthorized vehicles at all times. Also, schools need to enforce stringent visitor check-in procedures and not allow anyone to just enter and roam the building. The building needs to be monitored with video surveillance at all times. Schools need to encourage students to play a role in maintaining school safety. They need counseling services to encourage all students to talk about their problems. This can improve student and staff protection against bullying, fights, assaults, and weapon use. Metal detectors should be installed in schools to discourage anyone from bringing weapons into the school. Schools can start an anonymous reporting system to support students who may be scared or uncomfortable to come forward. The students may report thier knowledge of incidents or incidents that may happen. In conclusion, the one change that would make education better for the future is school safety. Students need to feel safe in order to learn properly. Student safety is key or education will resort to all online learning. Our schools and universities will be empty if we don't improve their safety. We need to start making schools safer now for future generations.
      Bold Great Minds Scholarship
      Someone l admire from history is Rosa Parks. She is admirable because she fought for civil rights. Rosa Parks believed in freedom and that we should all be treated the same. Rosa Parks is called the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" because her courage inspired others to fight against discrimination in a nonviolent way. Rosa Parks had the courage to say no to injustice when so many others didn't. She felt that she paid her fare on the bus just like everyone else so she should be able to sit where she wanted. She refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man in Montgomery Alabama in 1955 It was a law back then that blacks were to give up their seat to whites. She was arrested and fined which lead to African Americans boycotting the bus in Montgomery Alabama in 1955. The boycott was led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Rosa Parks inspired him and other African Americans to take action. The boycott lasted over a year and ended when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Rosa Parks became a nationally recognized symbol of dignity and strength to end racial segregation. In conclusion, l admire Rosa Parks because of her courage, dignity, and strength. She was willing to break the law for what was right and fair. Through her actions, Rosa Parks paved the way for African Americans and all people to enjoy freedom. She is truly my hero and has inspired me to have courage, dignity, and strength.
      Bold Financial Freedom Scholarship
      "Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like." -Will Rogers The most helpful piece of financial advice is when my parents told me not to spend more than l have but to save some for the future. They told me not to borrow if l didn't have to. They also taught me to set a budget and stick to it. My parents taught me not to be impulsive in spending money. They said to pay in cash or a debit card for purchases and not use a credit card unless l planned to pay it off at the end of the month. In other words, don't spend money you don't have especially on things you don't need. This way you'll save more money for emergencies and the future. They said if you budget and save early in your life, you'll be ready for retirement when the time comes. So many people in their 20's, 30's, or even 40's spend money on things they don't need or rarely use trying to impress people or keep up with others. By the time they're in their 50's they realize they have no savings for emergencies or money for retirement. Some are in debt because they paid for these things on credit. Some people even have to file for bankruptcy. I am starting to take their advice. I'm applying for scholarships and grants instead of loans so l won't have debt. I try to save and budget instead of spending money on things l don't need or probably won't use. I'm not trying to impress people. I only want to impress my parents. I want them to be proud of me.
      Bold Deep Thinking Scholarship
      "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed." -Gandhi The biggest problem facing the world right now is greed because it leads to so many other problems. The root cause of greed is to collect resources. Some people hoard things because of greed. This can be anything from money, food, or clothing Greedy people always want more. They tend to believe they have less than what they deserve. The greedy person takes even at the expense of others. This leads to burglaries, robberies, and murder for money. Greed also leads to embezzlement because of a sense of entitlement. Greed leads to overspending which leads to social issues like bankruptcy and divorce. Corporate greed is to blame for many of society's problem. CEOs have created an economy that is out of balance. Chief Executives line their pockets with the labor of their employees who receive much lower wages. Some companies cut corners to make inferior products because of greed. Some unethical companies cause air pollution which leads to global warming and climate change. One way we can work on the problem of greed is through compassion for others and generosity. People need to stop hoarding and give to those in need. Also, people need to stop taking from others and start giving to others Companies need to bridge unfair wage gaps between their workers and Chief Executives. Companies need to stop making inferior products and polluting the air that leads to climate change Companies need to be more generous by setting up foundations to help the poor or scholarship programs if they haven't already done so. Greed leads to many problems in our society. If people and companies would become more compassionate and generous some of these problems could be eliminated.
      Bold Wise Words Scholarship
      "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."- Gandhi Those are probably the wisest words I've ever heard. Some people want change but they want someone else to do it. If we want change we must be the change. Growing up hearing stories about people who changed history, l must say that Rosa Parks comes to mind because she changed so much. She had the guts to say no to injustice when so many others just didn't want to make waves. She paid her fare for the bus so she should've been able to sit where she wanted. She was a fearless woman. Maybe she had some fear but courage is doing something when you fear it. She risked her freedom to say no to injustice. That paved the way for others to fight for justice even though some were in fear, they marched and fought for justice and equality They risked their lives to fight for freedom that changed the lives of many people. Some people want someone else to invent something to solve a problem or they want someone else to speak up for them. They should try to invent what they want or speak up themselves. In other words, they should be the change in the world.

      William M. DeSantis Sr. Scholarship
      An important life lesson I've learned is not to procrastinate. I used to wait to the last minute to do things. I would put off assignments, studying, and housework. I've learned that this is not the way to be if you want to be successful in life. Learning to complete tasks early has made me a stronger person. I read a quote by Abraham Lincoln that says" You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.". That changed my mind for a little while. Then l began to fall back into my old habit of procrastination. I still waited to the last minute to study for exams or clean my room. Then one day I had a room inspection during exam week and wasn't ready for them because l didn't clean my room. I knew they were coming that month but l didn't think they would come during exam week. I thought they would wait until the next week. I told them to come back because l was doing a timed exam. They came back and l was throwing things in the closet while they were knocking on the door. That was stressful. Then something more stressful happened because of my procrastination l put off doing a project until the day before it was due. I was doing the project when my some of my laptop keys stopped working. I started to panic because if l got a zero on this project l would fail the class. I emailed the professor from my phone and asked for more time. He responded back and said no. I promised myself that if l got this project done on time, I'll never procrastinate again. I downloaded an application on my phone that let me complete the project right before it was due. That was a life lesson for for not to procrastinate again. I have used this life lesson to help me move forward in life. I start assignments when l get them and not wait because you never know what will happen when you wait until the last minute. This experience has made me stronger as a person and in life. I don't procrastinate anymore when l remember the quote by Abraham Lincoln and the things that have happened to me. I'm stronger now as a person because I've learned from my experiences. I know that need this life lesson to graduate from college. I also need this life lesson in my career in the Healthcare field. I know l cannot procrastinate on the job because someone's life may be dependent on my timely actions.

      Bold Persistence Scholarship
      I was shy and quiet in middle and high school. I made good grades and wore glasses so l guess l was considered a nerd. I didn't have many friends so l didn't want to go to the cafeteria. I developed anxiety and depression. I did meet one friend who was similar to me and she convinced me to go eat in the cafeteria. It was loud and l felt like people were staring at me. Then one day there was a food flight and my friend was hit in the head with an apple slice. She wasn't hurt but she didn't want come back to school. She said she was going to home school.

      Surya Education Assistance Scholarship
      "Knowledge is Power" I've always heard. If that's the case l believe that more knowledge means more power. That's why I'm passionate about receiving my education. Some other reasons why I'm passionate about furthering my education are better pay, more career opportunities and advancement in the workplace. One reason I'm passionate about receiving a college education is college graduates earn more than high school graduates. According to a 2014 Pew Research Center survey, college graduates earn $17,500 more per year than those with just a high school diploma. That's $700,000 over a fourty year period. That study was done eight years ago and college graduates probably earn more than high school graduates now. Another reason Im passionate about receiving my college education is there are more career opportunities with a college degree. First of all, college graduates get hired over applicants without a college degree. Employers know that a college graduate has motivation and a willingness to learn and see things through. College graduates also learn organizational and time management skills which is a valued trait to any profession. Also college graduates have stronger communication skills and a sense of responsibility which employers look for in a candidate. These traits are why employers look for a college degree even for entry-level positions. Finally l am passionate about receiving my college education because of the advancement opportunities in the workplace. Many employers now require a college degree for their entry-level positions. This is because they eventually want to promote an employee to management positions in the future. Depending on a person's performance in that entry-level position it's easier to promote them to a higher position because they already have a college degree. A college degree is required in most companies to be promoted to a management position. In conclusion, I'm passionate about receiving my college degree because l want to be a Healthcare Administrator. I know a college degree is required for that position. I know l have to work hard and make good grades in college just as l did in high school. I may have to begin in an entry-level position to gain experience. I can use the organizational and time management skills l learned in college to move up in the company. I can also use my communication skills to move into a management position. Or l may be hired into a management or supervisory position. A college degree will make that possible for me.

He decided to get off the medicine and join the Army where he received confidence training and therapy.

I don't know why l think everyone is focusing on me. I even avoid therapy because l feel like I'm being judged. I manage by praying and talking to my mother. I feel better after talking to her. My mental health issues have shaped my goal of wanting to be in healthcare because l want to help people. I know when you help others you feel better. My mental health issues have shaped my relationships because l don't have many friends. I don't talk to anyone from high school and the people I've met at college l rarely talk to. I talk to my brother sometimes but he's negative and l have to stay away from that. I've yet to have a lasting relationship.

Also l shouldn't have a negative attitude but try to stay positive

      Being an African American female certainly has it's challenges. Some people think we're not smart. Some people think we steal and some are just racist against us because of what they're taught. I've tried to overcome these challenges by doing the opposite of what some people may think. I studied hard to have a good grade point average and to graduate with highest honors in high school. Also, I'm trying to achieve that in college. Also I've never stolen anything in my life. If l don't have the money l don't get the item. I've seen people watching me as though I'm going to steal They don't know me though. They just see the color of my skin. As far as people being racist against me because of the color of my skin, there's nothing l can do about that except pray. I can continue to do good things and maybe some of them will change their minds. One thing l can do is complete my education in Healthcare Administration and get a good job in a hospital or nursing home to help people that are underserved or underrepresented such as the elderly or veterans. In fact l can help people of all races and backgrounds because l was taught to love all people regardless of race or where they came from. My mom told me a story about when she worked in a nursing home. A patient at the nursing home was racist but my mom was nice to her. One day the patient told my mom she was no longer racist and she felt like my mom was her best friend. That patient died soon after that and my mom said she felt like that patient went to heaven because she no longer hated African Americans or people of other races and asked God to forgive her. I feel like my mom made a difference and changed someone's mind and life. By working in the Healthcare field l am confident that l too can change the life of someone. I can not only change their physical health from bad to good but their mental health as well. They can enter a hospital or other health care facility in one way and leave feeling better. I can make a difference. I hope you consider me for this scholarship. It will help me to achieve my goals without the burden of student debt.

      "You are what you eat" I've always heard. If you eat the right foods you'll be healthier both physically and mentally. Eating unhealthy or junk foods will result in an unhealthy body and mind. Growing up as a child l was not always in control of what my food choices. I ate what was placed before me on the table at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was meat such as pork, excessive carbohydrates and sweets or sweetened beverages. l didn't like the vegetables. Sometimes l hid them in a napkin and threw them away. Also the snacks were definitely junk food which is unhealthy. Now that I'm an adult, I am in control what l eat and l want to change because I've suffered from acne and acid reflux. The reason l wasn't overweight is because l couldn't eat certain foods because of the reflux. Sometimes l wouldn't eat at all because of reflux. I've also suffered from anxiety and depression. I know that what you eat causes these conditions. I know l need drink more water and eat more vegetables. This will help clear my skin and help my digestive system so the acid reflux will subside. It will also help with anxiety and depression. I also want to change because l see family members who are eating unhealthy foods and suffer from diabetes and other diseases such as heart disease and cancer. My grandmother died from heart disease. My grandfather died of diabetes and my aunt died of cancer. They ate pork sweets and soda. It makes me want to change my eating habits. I will maintain this change by choosing healthy foods and drinking more water instead of soda for a period of 21 days. I've heard if you keep doing something for that amount of time it becomes a habit.Then l plan to continue my healthy eating habits for life. I also plan to add an exercise routine because l see so many people with weight problems because of food choices and not getting enough exercise. In conclusion, we may not be able to control our food choices as children which can lead to unhealthy eating but as adults we can make a change. We can make healthy choices by eating right and excercising which lead to a healthier body and mind. We can also maintain these healthy choices by sticking to them for a specified period of time which leads to a lifetime of good health.

In high school l was quiet and shy so l was bullied. When l decided to speak out more, people still said negative things. My mom taught me not to worry about what people think or say.

I believe the best part about being an Oncology nurse is forming a bond with the patient and patients’ families. Many Oncology nurses' role is to get patients and the patients’ families through this terrible illness. Many oncology nurses form long-lasting bonds with their patients which is important for the patient’s emotional state. If a patient is doing well emotionally, they may also get better physically.

They are there to help and support the patient to help them get better and I believe that is very rewarding. It’s important for a nurse to be kind, compassionate, and patient.

      Bubba Wallace Live to Be Different Scholarship
      Roy T. Bennett says, “Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments in your life. Tough situations build strong people in the end.” In Middle school and High School, I did well and I made good grades most of the time, but around this time I started to face adversity. Middle school and High School were difficult for me because I struggled with bullying and being left out. I was different from a lot of the children and didn’t fit in well. I was focused on my schoolwork a lot, so I was often called “nerd” and many other offensive names. Kids can be cruel sometimes, but I didn’t let their offenses stop me from focusing on my school work. Sometimes the bullying would get so bad, it would cause me to cry myself to sleep. I leaned on family and friends for support and their advice and kind words helped me. But through all of this, I still did well in middle school. I received many awards and got invited to luncheons for my positive behavior and good grades. My parents were extremely proud of me for all that I accomplished and the challenges I overcame.
