    Hello! my name is Keandrea and i run a small business of graphics! I help other upcoming businessmen/ businesswoman with kick starting their youtube channel. I make youtube intros, outros, and banners. Pretty much, everything youtube! I have been helping others successfully start their youtube business for two years now and i absolutely enjoy doing so. I always knew i had a passion for helping and influencing others. I just didn’t know how i was going to do it. For years i sat and dwelled on making a youtube to showcase my everyday lifestyle. One day i took the leap and made it happen. I made everything myself because i enjoy editing and spending hours on the computer expanding my creativity. When my channel received more exposure, i was constantly getting questions on how i started and how i did this, how i did that, and more! I did 1 intro and everyone loved it from there and allowed me to explore my talent on them. Ever since then i’ve been running a successful business with my graphics and my youtube and i’ve never been more happy to finally find my purpose! Yes, i’ve faced challenges and opportunities. I’ve had my good days and my bad days. My biggest accomplishment was signing to work with one of my favorite youtubers that inspired to take my first leap! She took me in under wing with the intros/ graphics and i’ve been working with her for a year and a half now. My biggest challenge was over working myself and getting lost in doing what i love to do. We all start somewhere and before, i was very overwhelmed and i wanted to complete everything in one sitting without taking a break. It gets tough when you set a goal and try to overachieve it This grant would help me a lot with my business because i will be able to build my dream office that i’ve always wanted. I often do my work in my bed and it gets crowded sometimes. I’d like to invest in an actual desk so i can get rid of my laptop holder. i’d like to also invest in my own personal “girl cave” space. With me having my own personal office i feel as though it would help me a lot with growing my business. I’d be able to sit at my desk in my own space without having to worry about getting extremely exhausted quickly while working in my bed.

    My name is Keandrea Jacobs. I am a student at Texas Southern University completing a bachelor's degree in science. My educational goals include earning a bachelor's degree in any biological or health-related field that will help me pursue a medical profession as a dentist. My professional ambition, on the other hand, is to one day be able to deliver inexpensive health care to impoverished regions in the United States. I've opted to pursue a profession as a dentist since helping others and seeking to improve their quality of life has always been a goal of mine. As a result, I believe that choosing such a career will allow me to contribute to improving the community's health quality and learning about their oral needs. In addition, I want to give back to underserved populations in the United States that fight every day to support their families and do not have the same access to dental care as other wealthy groups. The first health project I want to do throughout my career as a dentist is to open a clinic where people receive affordable dental care regardless of the patient's immigrant status. If I do not finish my doctorate degree, I am aware that all of my ambitions would stay unfulfilled. As a result, I am devoted to studying well in school and seeking out opportunities that will enable me to achieve my objectives. I am thankful for opportunities like your organization provides to students like me who are always battling for the right to an education. I will persevere and work hard till I achieve my career objectives. I hope to be selected as a scholarship recipient from your charity so that I can continue on my route to becoming a dentist.

    My name is Keandrea Jacobs. I am a student at Texas Southern University completing a bachelor's degree in science and planning on pursuing my education for my doctoral degree once I graduate. My educational goals include earning a bachelor's degree in any biological or health-related field that will help me pursue a medical profession as a doctor. My professional ambition, on the other hand, is to one day be able to deliver inexpensive health care to impoverished regions in the United States. However, I am positive that if I do not finish my college education, I will never be able to pursue my job objectives. I've opted to pursue a profession as a dentist since helping others and seeking to improve their quality of life has always been a goal of mine. As a result, I believe that choosing such a career will allow me to contribute to improving the community's health quality and learning about their oral needs. I wish to specialize in dentistry, orthodontist, after becoming a licensed doctor, and contribute my knowledge in the dental field. In addition, I want to give back to underserved populations in the United States that fight every day to support their families and do not have the same access to dental care as other wealthy groups. The first health project I want to do throughout my career as a dentist is to open a free clinic where people may receive affordable dental care regardless of the patient's immigrant status. Free dental consultations, low-cost braces, and food lessons to avoid broken brackets. In addition, I plan to provide an interpreter for patients who do not speak English and to establish a financial aid program for patients who cannot afford to pay for any type of surgery that is required. The second most important career goal I want to achieve is to establish a non-profit company where I can offer internships for dental school students across the United States and send them to remote villages around the world to give free dental care. I also wish to provide nutrition education to these underserved communities, particularly indigenous cultures from Latin America. This will aid in children's physical development and provide a remedy to malnutrition. If I do not finish my doctorate degree, I am aware that all of my ambitions would stay unfulfilled. As a result, I am devoted to studying well in school and seeking out opportunities that will enable me to achieve my objectives. I believe I am deserving of one of your foundation's scholarships because, as a hardworking student, I pledge to make the most of the opportunities presented to me by the scholarships. Furthermore, I am a student who not only works hard academically, but also strives to enhance the quality of life in my local neighborhood through volunteer work. I think that education should be a right, not a privilege, and I feel compelled to act when I witness students being denied their access to a college education. I am thankful for opportunities like the one that your organization provides to students like me who are always battling for the right to an education. I will persevere and work hard till I achieve my career objectives. I hope to be selected as a scholarship recipient from your charity so that I can continue on my route to becoming a doctor.
