I was raised by my single mom, who always works hard to provide for our family despite many challenges. She works long hours as a massage therapist and I help by working as a busser at Chilis Restaurant. We live together with my grandmother and my 11-year-old sister. My mom is the sole provider for our household, balancing multiple responsibilities while ensuring that we have a safe home, food on the table, and always encourages me to pursue my dreams. Her strength and determination have always inspired me, especially because she desires to see me continue my education and build a better future for myself. I would be the first in my family to ever attend a university. I have been meant with lots of challenges of my own, you see I was a non-verbal child until my 1st grade in school and I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at age two. Because of my inability to communicate, interacting socially has always been a struggle for me, and have been bullied because of it. I decided I would focus all my energy in my studies and stop listening to all the bullies. It has not been easy, I have to say at one point I was depressed because of this, I really wanted to connect with people, just do not know how, but through therapy I am working on my social skills and getting better. Well despite all of this I maintain a GPA of 3.98. I am looking to pursue a career in computer science and engineering, at Millersville University in my home state of Pennsylvania, where I was accepted. It has always been my dream to learn more about technology and how it can benefit society. It is my dream to create an app or program that can aid in stopping cyber bullies. Financially, things have not been easy. My mom’s income supports all of us. With increasing living expenses, it is difficult for my mom to save for educational costs. We do not have additional financial support from my father or other family members, other than my grandma, she helps as much as she can. I understand that much of my education will depend on financial aid, scholarships, and my own efforts through part-time work. Despite these struggles, my mom has always made it clear that education is the best way to success and a good future for myself. Her sacrifices motivate me every day to work hard and make the most of every opportunity I am given. I have a strong desire to study computers and technology, as I am fascinated by how innovation can change lives and open doors to new possibilities. I hope to one day use my education to support my family, help my sister follow her own dreams, and make my mom and grandma proud by showing her that all her hard work was worth it. Receiving financial assistance would make a significant difference in helping me achieve these goals. It would ease the burden on my mom allow me to focus more fully on my studies, and bring me closer to building a stable and successful career in computer science.

She works long hours as a massage therapist and I help by working as a busser at Chilis Restaurant. We live together with my grandmother and my 11-year-old sister. My mom is the sole provider for our household, balancing multiple responsibilities while ensuring that we have a safe home, food on the table, and always encourages me to pursue my dreams. Her strength and determination have always inspired me, especially because she desires to see me continue my education and build a better future for myself. I would be the first in my family to ever attend a university. I have been meant with lots of challenges of my own, you see I was a non-verbal child until my 1st grade in school and I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at age two. Because of my inability to communicate, interacting socially has always been a struggle for me, and have been bullied because of it. I decided I would focus all my energy in my studies and stop listening to all the bullies. It has not been easy, I have to say at one point I was depressed because of this, I really wanted to connect with people, just do not know how, but through therapy and proper medications for my depression, I am working on my social skills and getting better. Well despite all of this I maintain a GPA of 3.98. I am looking to pursue a career in computer science and engineering, at Millersville University in my home state of Pennsylvania, where I was accepted. It has always been my dream to learn more about technology and how it can benefit society. It is my dream to create an app or program that can aid in stopping cyber bullies. Financially, things have not been easy. My mom’s income supports all of us. With increasing living expenses, it is difficult for my mom to save for educational costs. We do not have additional financial support from my father or other family members, other than my grandma, she helps as much as she can. I understand that much of my education will depend on financial aid, scholarships, and my own efforts through part-time work. Despite these struggles, my mom has always made it clear that education is the best way to success and a good future for myself. Her sacrifices motivate me every day to work hard and make the most of every opportunity I am given. I have a strong desire to study computers and technology, as I am fascinated by how innovation can change lives and open doors to new possibilities. I hope to one day use my education to support my family, help my sister follow her own dreams, and make my mom and grandma proud by showing her that all her hard work was worth it. Receiving financial assistance would make a significant difference in helping me achieve these goals. It would ease the burden on my mom allow me to focus more fully on my studies, and bring me closer to building a stable and successful career in computer science.

Maybe someday I can develop an app or program that can aid in stopping cyber bullies. It has not been easy, I have to say at one point I was super depressed because of this, I really wanted to connect with people, just did not know how, but through therapy I am working on my social skills and overcoming my depression. Well despite all of this I maintain a GPA of 3.98. I am looking to pursue a career in computer science and engineering, at Millersville University of Pennsylvania. It has always been my dream to learn more about technology and how it can benefit society. Financially, things have not been easy. My mom’s income supports all of us. With increasing living expenses, it is difficult for my mom to save for educational costs. We do not have additional financial support from my father or other family members, other than my grandma, she helps as much as she can. I understand that much of my education will depend on financial aid, scholarships, and my own efforts through part-time work. Despite these struggles, my mom has always made it clear that education is the best way to success and a good future for myself. Her sacrifices motivate me every day to work hard and make the most of every opportunity I am given. I have a strong desire to study computers and technology, as I am fascinated by how innovation can change lives and open doors to new possibilities. I hope to one day use my education to support my family, help my sister follow her own dreams, and make my mom and grandma proud by showing her that all her hard work was worth it. Receiving financial assistance would make a significant difference in helping me achieve these goals. It would ease the burden on my mom allow me to focus more fully on my studies, and bring me closer to building a stable and successful career in computer science. Sincerely, Julian Dior Anderson

All things are possible through God who sustains me. My faith in God has carried me through overcoming depression and many other challenges in life. I was raised by my single mom, who always works hard to provide for our family despite many challenges. She works long hours as a massage therapist and I help by working as a busser at Chilis Restaurant. We live together with my grandmother and my 11-year-old sister. My mom is the sole provider for our household, balancing multiple responsibilities while ensuring that we have a safe home, food on the table, and always encourages me to pursue my dreams. Her strength and determination have always inspired me, especially because she desires to see me continue my education and build a better future for myself. I would be the first in my family to ever attend a university. I have been meant with lots of challenges of my own, you see I was a non-verbal child until my 1st grade in school and I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at age two. Because of my inability to communicate, interacting socially has always been a struggle for me, and have been bullied because of it.
