    #Back2SchoolBold Scholarship
    My go to back to school tip is to be involved in everything. This does not exactly mean to join every sport and club available, instead join organizations that will help you make new friends and learn new things. It's not easy to be social but it's a challenge that will be worth it in the long run. Also, It is highly necessary to be kind to others. There are many students that come from different backgrounds and have difficulty fitting in. It doesn't cost anything to be kind.
    Ms. Susy’s Disney Character Scholarship
    My favorite Disney Character would be Mushu from Mulan. I relate to him because he remind me of me. A first Generation student who's going to a University to impress my parents. Mushu is instructed to help Mulan on her quest. Mulan's ancestor have high hopes for Mushu to save China in which I feel like I have to impress the world by my talents and not let anyone in my family down. This responsibility not only is stressful but also brings me down when those I love are disappointed.
    You Glow Differently When You're Happy Scholarship
    Autumn leaves and sunsets. As the years comes to an end, as days become shorter and colder. I never appreciate how much the sun contributes to my daily life and how often we tend to miss beautiful days due to school and work. The fall makes me realize to always remember loved one and hold those who matter. We humans aren't perfect but we can always better ourselves. Fall to me represents to never take life for granted and to take advantage of every opportunity because It could be here today and gone tomorrow.
