Bio

Hello, my name is Johnyae, but I go by Yae. I am a passionate individual with a strong interest in psychology. I am really interested in understanding the reasons behind our thought processes. Additionally, I am passionate about math and love solving equations. I find the process of breaking down complex problems incredibly satisfying. In my free time, I enjoy reading books on horrifying psychological theories and their applications in real-life scenarios. I also like to challenge myself with brain teasers and rebus puzzles to keep my mind sharp. My goal is to combine my interests in psychology and mathematics to contribute to the development of cognitive models that can help us better understand human behavior and decision-making. I plan on attending TSU or Howard U after I graduate. With psychology as my major and child development as a minor.

      Learner Math Lover Scholarship
      As a sophomore in high school, I find that math is one of my favorite subjects because I am genuinely fascinated by the world of numbers and equations. The beauty of mathematics lies in its ability to reveal complex patterns and relationships that exist all around us. A number isn’t really just a number, it's more of a window into the undefinedness of the universe, a symbolic representation of the difficulties of reality, and a tool for problem-solving and discovery. When I dive into mathematical concepts, I gain access to new layers of comprehension, where every equation and theory tells a story waiting to be uncovered. My passion for mathematics runs deep. Math isn't just a subject to me; it's a journey into a world of infinite possibilities. Mathematics has become a powerful instrument for unraveling problems and unearthing new discoveries. Every equation and theory within mathematics holds a captivating narrative waiting to be revealed, and I find joy in immersing myself in this exploration. When I’m doing math, it’s like I’m in my own little world where nothing will distract me, upset me, or bother me. I’m just calm. And that is why I love math with my whole heart and will forever love math.
      LeBron James Fan Scholarship
      I'm a huge fan of LeBron James because of his exceptional basketball skills, unmatched adaptability, and the positive impact he has had both on and off the court. LeBron's incredible ability to score, grab rebounds, and create scoring opportunities for his teammates truly sets him apart, and he has consistently demonstrated himself as one of the top-ranking players in the NBA. He has also won 4 NBA championship rings. That is a marvelous accomplishment. Lebron James is a great role model among all people of all ages. When it comes to the question of whether LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time, it's a topic that is a huge debate all over the world. Many argue that his unique blend of skills, unparalleled athleticism, and significant influence on the game make him the greatest. At the same time, others advocate for basketball legends like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Reggie Miller, or Wilt Chamberlain, citing their own exceptional contributions to the sport. I personally think that Kobe Bryant is and forever will be the greatest basketball player of all time. Ultimately, the answer to this question is highly subjective and varies based on individual perspectives and the criteria used to define greatness.
      Love Island Fan Scholarship
      "Island Matchmaker" is an intriguing and captivating game concept that aims to make connections among the islanders. In this game, the islanders will draw names out of a hat to determine who they will go on a date with. After the date, they will write a letter for their date. It can be heartfelt and loving or sneaky and deceiving. They have to read it aloud to everyone, including the person they wrote it about and the person in their couple. This exciting twist adds surprise to the game, creating unforgettable moments for both the islanders and the viewers. Following the dates and letter readings, the islanders form couples and participate in voting for the best couple. The winning couple is then rewarded with a special prize, such as a private dinner, a night in the hideaway, or immunity from the next island dumping. The losing couple will be vulnerable during the next dumping but they won’t know that until after they are deemed the losing couple. This game seeks to encourage the islanders to express their feelings for each other in a sincere, genuine way or in a sneaky, conniving way, adding an element of creativity, emotional depth, and drama to the island experience. This two-faced approach will elevate the overall island experience for the islanders and the viewers.
      “Stranger Things” Fanatic Scholarship
      If I could form a squad with 3 characters from the show, I would definitely choose Eleven, Dustin, and Nancy. With these 3 people, our party will be unstoppable. I would choose Eleven because, with her psychokinetic and telepathic abilities, she is an intimidating individual and can help us overcome any obstacle. Plus, her unwavering determination and strong moral compass make her a valuable asset in any situation. Dustin Henderson is my second chosen character because he is intelligent, lovable, and often provides comic relief in intense situations. He's a loyal friend who always has a witty remark, and his curiosity and determination make him an essential part of the team. Nancy Wheeler is my last and final character chosen because she is a strong, resourceful, and empathetic character who always strives to do the right thing. Her determination and courage make her stand out, and I believe she will bring a lot of depth to the story. She’s also great at making smart and reliable decisions and plans. Eleven has the power of psychokinetics and telepathy, allowing her to move things with her mind. Her emotions amplify this power, enabling her to lift large and heavy objects. For example, she once flipped a Hawkins Power and Light van and pulled a train car towards her using her mind. Dustin excels in wisdom. He is the peacemaker of the group and has a balanced approach to supernatural events. He is also the most scientifically inclined and intelligent member of the group, despite some lapses in judgment, such as keeping Dart as a pet, which unexpectedly saved the group in the end. Nancy is feisty and determined. She is a skilled detective who is able to reason important details from clues, leading the team closer to solving mysteries. She's also proficient with firearms, demonstrating her accuracy and ability to use different types of guns. Additionally, she has shown that she can use everyday objects as weapons, making her resourceful in challenging situations. To review, Eleven, Dustin, and Nancy's combined supernatural abilities, intelligence, and resourcefulness make our squad an unstoppable force in the face of any challenge.
