Kendrick Lamar once said: I got hustle, though, ambition flow inside my DNA. DNA by Kendrick Lamar explores his upbringing and how his experiences through his community "flow through his DNA". The commonality between Kendrick Lamar and myself is that we both resonate with this lyric as it relates to our community. My community taught me the significance of the word hustle. Oftentimes, hustle has a negative connotation, but in my diaspora, hustle is synonymous with businesswoman. Hustling is a means for survival, and living in a community of hustlers taught me how to survive and succeed. The best part about a community is that you typically relate to the people within it. Similar life experiences, household dynamics, and even financials all bind your community. For myself, an important aspect of community started in the barbershop. A portion of my childhood was spent in the barbershop with my Uncle Shun the owner, where I swept up hair and warmed up towels for the removal of shaving cream for pocket change. This was my foundation of "hustling" and my first experience of being a hustler. My Uncle Shun continued to help me further myself while encouraging me to stay on the right path in life. The community aspect of the barbershop prioritized staying in your books and THEN hustling. I didn't have my first male teacher until the 7th grade. In fact, I actually had two male teachers that year who actually had their own side hustle (businesses outside of teaching). Since then, EVERY male teacher I had leading into my senior year of highschool also possessed side hustles. Little did they know how much of an impact they left on an entire community of young women and men like me; seeing myself in adults was revitalizing. Hustlers are professional, and I have a list of teachers to prove it! Entering highschool, I quickly learned that everyone had hustles. Essentially, high school is a huge pool of entrepreneurs. My junior year of college I had a goal of purchasing my own car. With that, I began following my Uncle Shun footsteps as a hairstylist. I provided services including Hair washing and detoxing dreadlocks, braiding services, crocheting hair, twisting hair, and starter locs to my peers and teachers throughout the week, and on the weekends. The people in my community were the ones supporting my business. It was my community that helped me purchase my car, by believing in my hustle. This wonderful scholarship opportunity will allow me to pay for college at Cambridge College of Healthcare and Technology and finish my degree as a future Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. My community has shaped me into a businesswoman or as we call it, a hustler. Thanks to my community, my hustler ambitions flow inside my DNA.

The commonality between Kendrick Lamar and myself is that we both resonate with this lyric as it relates to our community. My community taught me the significance of the word hustle. Oftentimes, hustle has a negative connotation, but in my diaspora, hustle is synonymous with businesswoman. Hustling is a means for survival, and living in a community of hustlers taught me how to survive and succeed. The best part about a community is that you typically relate to the people within it. Similar life experiences, household dynamics, and even financials all bind your community. For myself, an important aspect of community started in the barbershop. A portion of my childhood was spent in the barbershop with my Uncle Shun the owner, where I swept up hair and warmed up towels for the removal of shaving cream for pocket change. This was my foundation of "hustling" and my first experience of being a hustler. My Uncle Shun continued to help me further myself while encouraging me to stay on the right path in life. The community aspect of the barbershop prioritized staying in your books and THEN hustling. I didn't have my first male teacher until the 7th grade. In fact, I actually had two male teachers that year who actually had their own side hustle (businesses outside of teaching). Since then, EVERY male teacher I had leading into my senior year of highschool also possessed side hustles. Little did they know how much of an impact they left on an entire community of young women and men like me; seeing myself in adults was revitalizing. Hustlers are professional, and I have a list of teachers to prove it! Entering highschool, I quickly learned that everyone had hustles. Essentially, high school is a huge pool of entrepreneurs. My junior year of college I had a goal of purchasing my own car. With that, I began following my Uncle Shun footsteps as a hairstylist. I provided services including Hair washing and detoxing dreadlocks, braiding services, crocheting hair, twisting hair, and starter locs to my peers and teachers throughout the week, and on the weekends. The people in my community were the ones supporting my business. It was my community that helped me purchase my car, by believing in my hustle. This wonderful scholarship opportunity will allow me to pay for college at Cambridge College of Healthcare and Technology and finish my degree as a future Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. My community has shaped me into a businesswoman or as we call it, a hustler. Thanks to my community, my hustler ambitions flow inside my DNA.

This was my foundation of "hustling" and my first experience of being a hustler. My Uncle Shun continued to help me further myself while encouraging me to stay on the right path in life. The community aspect of the barbershop prioritized staying in your books and THEN hustling. I didn't have my first male teacher until the 7th grade. In fact, I actually had two male teachers that year who actually had their own side hustle (businesses outside of teaching). Since then, EVERY male teacher I had leading into my senior year of highschool also possessed side hustles. Little did they know how much of an impact they left on an entire community of young women and men like me; seeing myself in adults was revitalizing. Hustlers are professional, and I have a list of teachers to prove it! Entering highschool, I quickly learned that everyone had hustles. Essentially, high school is a huge pool of entrepreneurs. My junior year of college I had a goal of purchasing my own car. With that, I began following my Uncle Shun footsteps as a hairstylist. I provided services including Hair washing and detoxing dreadlocks, braiding services, crocheting hair, twisting hair, and starter locs to my peers and teachers throughout the week, and on the weekends. The people in my community were the ones supporting my business. It was my community that helped me purchase my car, by believing in my hustle. This wonderful scholarship opportunity will allow me to pay for college at Cambridge College of Healthcare and Technology and finish my degree as a future Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. My community has shaped me into a businesswoman or as we call it, a hustler. Thanks to my community, my hustler ambitions flow inside my DNA.

Kendrick Lamar once said: I got hustle, though, ambition flow inside my DNA. DNA by Kendrick Lamar explores his upbringing and how his experiences through his community "flow through his DNA". The commonality between Kendrick Lamar and myself is that we both resonate with this lyric as it relates to our community. My community taught me the significance of the word hustle. Oftentimes, hustle has a negative connotation, but in my diaspora, hustle is synonymous with businesswoman. Hustling is a means for survival, and living in a community of hustlers taught me how to survive and succeed. The best part about a community is that you typically relate to the people within it.

Courageous – is the act of being ready and willing to face negative circumstances involving danger or pain. Being courageous is the reason why I am applying to this scholarship now. I decided to take a leap of faith during the process of me getting my second degree. My courageousness will be the beginning of financial freedom for my family and I. In less than seven years my goal is to be debt free and I will begin the process of helping my mother get debt free as well. At the start of 2020, I had no idea that the media studies degree I was going to school for was not going to be used right away. Due to the coronavirus, healthcare jobs started to spike leaving upcoming media studies students jobs very slim. As a 19 year old dropping out of school didn’t seem like the best option. During my time at Fort Valley State University, It was very productive. I joined a number of community service organizations that built my character as an unselfish, caring, focused, patient student with increased strengths in work ethics. A few organizations I joined were The Blue Coat Ambassadors, a group of collegiate students who serve the President of Fort Valley State University, his colleagues, students, alumni, and staff at all special events held on or off FVSU’s campus. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP to ensure the political, educational, equality of minority group citizens of States and eliminate race prejudice, and Mary Magdalene a group that trained me to assist people who have unfortunately been exposed to assault or sexual assault cases. Sonography is the perfect job for combining healthcare and photography. This is what I am destined to do. So now with a bachelors degree in media studies, I’m going back to school for my associates degree in sonography. It takes a real courageous person to have $28,000 worth of debt and go back to school for $50,000 with high hopes to get rid of their debt and to have financial freedom before the age of 30. This is what courageous looks like. I refuse to settle and to give up on my dreams, that is how people get depressed because they lose the thrill of life due to circumstances. “Be the change you want to see”, is one of my favorite quotes. I am a God fearing woman who is exercising her faith by walking by faith and not by sight. I also have brains because at Fort Valley State University my last semester ended with a 3.6 GPA. Kristin Kirby is more than capable of becoming a registered diagnostic medical sonography. It’s not the school work stopping me it’s simply the money but continuing to be courageous will be my key to success. Taking those good risks, will be my token to an awesome life. Once I get a little rich I know most of my money will be going to my family because those are the people that helped me through life the most. God is going to bless me so that I can ultimately bless others. I first must go through the process of continuing to be courageous, kind, and becoming wiser.

If I had to choose on what I wanted to be for the rest of my life, It wouldn’t be to be famous or the best singer or dancer. It wouldn’t be to be the most trending topic on twitter or instagram. Nor would it even be to be the President of the United States of America. Even though the chances of actually becoming President is getting greater and greater as you read. If I had to choose what I wanted to be, It would simply be to be a Caregiver. I recently discovered in life that my purpose is to simply care for others in all ways. Either it being in helping others to laugh or smile or giving them inventions on making their human lives easier. Overall caring for people is my mission. Due to the coronavirus, healthcare jobs started to increase tremendously. I had aspirations to be a doctor but I didn’t want to stay in school 8 to 10 years or more but I wanted to have a healthcare job that would allow me to have a normal life. I remained resilient in my decision to stay and God spoke a word over my life. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2022 where I discovered sonography, I was scrolling on TikTok and it found me.

It has been proven that if you practice having a healthy lifestyle, your life expectancy rate will increase by 8% from 58.3 years of age in the year 2000 to 63.7 as of 2019. You must find healthy ways to reduce stress, workout, have fun, while getting plenty of rest. These are key aspects to prospering in having a healthy life. Well balanced people are known for having great careers and fitness lifestyles, while incorporating prayer, meditation, and rest in their every day lives. A healthy lifestyle can easily be instilled. If you’re just starting out with working out, try to do light fitness. Stretching and doing yoga before a walk around your neighborhood is a good steppingstone to having a healthy lifestyle. I drink water every single day to keep my skin clear and to overall keep my body regulated. Eating healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and getting well needed proteins can also help your body to stay fit. The most important healthy lifestyle tip that you can incorporate in your life is to have reduced stressed. This simply means to have positive ways to help with emotions. Try reading books, painting, or listening to music as good ways to reduce stress. Together we can all have a healthy lifestyle that will reward us with having great health and wealth.

I had aspirations to be a doctor but I didn’t want to stay in school 8 to 10 years or more but I wanted to have a healthcare job that would allow me to have a normal life. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2022 where I discovered sonography, I was scrolling on TikTok and it found me. Sonography is the perfect job for combining healthcare and photography. This is what I am destined to do. So now with a bachelors degree in media studies, I’m going back to school for my associates degree in sonography. It takes a real courageous person to have $28,000 worth of debt and go back to school for $50,000 with high hopes to get rid of their debt and to have financial freedom before the age of 30. This is what courageous looks like. I refuse to settle and to give up on my dreams, that is how people get depressed because they lose the thrill of life due to circumstances. “Be the change you want to see”, is one of my favorite quotes. I am a God fearing woman who is exercising her faith by walking by faith and not by sight. I also have brains because at Fort Valley State University my last semester ended with a 3.6 GPA. Kristin Kirby is more than capable of becoming a registered diagnostic medical sonography. It’s not the school work stopping me it’s simply the money but continuing to be courageous will be my key to success. Taking those good risks, will be my token to an awesome life. Once I get a little rich I know most of my money will be going to my family because those are the people that helped me through life the most. God is going to bless me so that I can ultimately bless others. I first must go through the process of continuing to be courageous, kind, and becoming wiser.

Selflessness is an act of humility. One that shows selflessness has more genuine concerns for others than themselves. As a servant of the most high God, which is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ he is my first example of selflessness. For he lived a pure life without sin. He endured lots of trials and tribulations and was crucified for the sins of the world. As a believer of him, I walk in selflessness and humility at all costs because he did that for me and II must do that for others. As students return back to school this semester, they definitely will need those school supplies. My church organized a Back to School Drive for the children and I did my part to donate 60$ towards book bags for the children, and I brought lots of colored pencils, highlighters, pens, pencils, and pencil sharpeners for them. I haven’t even brought any school supplies for myself yet, but I had to make sure I looked out for others, just because most people are unfortunately less fortunate. It breaks my heart. So I do my part. The former 44th First Lady of The United States of America, Michelle Obama said it best, “ when they go low you go high”. This simply means no matter what you are faced with continue to walk as a champion for this is right. People around you may do wrong but you will continue to stand out and be rewarded for your rightful doings in due time. I’ll reach for the stars no matter how high they are because when you genuinely do stuff you do it unto God and not yourself. To be honest being human is hard. God is the most high and holy one. We as humans have tons of emotions that we deal with and even some negative attitudes. Because my faith is so strong I’m reminded of how Jesus was there for me. I can’t even have a attitude because the guilt inside would overtake me. I always take the highroad because a temporary emotion will be remembered more than the overall essence of a person. For example I work at a daycare, so if the children are acting up and not listening to me, as their teacher it would be very wrong for me to try to discipline them in a unprofessional way. While that might not be the intention of my heart, my actions said otherwise in that moment, hypothetically speaking. Now because of my unprofessionalism of disciplining a young child, I’d potentially could be facing lots of serious allegations and investigations. So when I’m faced with challenges of attempting to be selfish I have to think of longevity because that’s what’s most important. Study to be quiet. Study to have love. Wear your mask because that would definitely hide your facial expressions, believe me I’m a witness. These are the ways that I show selflessness every single day and I will continue to be selfless for this is how I will return home to heaven.

According to Statista survey, about 51% of the population prefer to have dogs. People really do love dogs more than they love humans. Dogs adore humans as well plus they look at humans as their family. I have met a number of dogs in my 21 years of living but there was only one dog that impacted me the most. Her name was Keita. She was a fully breed American pit-bull. White and black to be exact, who was big and strong. She was so loving and her fur would shed a lot. She also had this loud vicious bark, so anytime the doorbell would ring or somebody knocked on the door, the first person you would hear would be Keita. She would bark so loud, run right up to the window and try to look through the blinds to see who was at the door. She was a complete character and I loved her so much. That same bark she had protected us when we used to go for walks and that same bark let me know that there was somebody who was approaching us that neither one of us knew. She definitely protected me. Keita was such a crybaby because at night when I used to get ready to go to bed, she would wine the whole night until I let her in my room. I would have to open the door and she would come in and jump all over my bed. Keita was so spoiled but I loved spoiling her. You know those movies when little kids have dogs and when the child doesn’t want to eat something from dinner, they put their food under the table so the dog could eat it? That’s how me and Keita were. No dog ever will replace the special bond that me and Keita shared. I don’t think I would ever buy a new one just because Keita will always hold a special place in my heart. Until we meet again Keita Boo, Love Kristin .

More than half of Americans young adults ranking at 56%, between the ages of 18 and 25 are considered overweight or obese according to the John Hopkins research. This number is increasing by the year. Most teen obesity is due to stress and eating unhealthy foods. As a young adult, the main way I can tell if I’m eating unhealthy is by my skin. My skin will begin to be a pimple nation and I just can’t stand the sight of ruining my beautiful skin. So I took a charge with my life to only drink water, to always avoid sodas and to eat as less fast food as possible. I even have added some fitness to my life just to keep my weight maintained. Practicing having a healthy mind, body, and soul is the key to success. If more young adults pledged to maintaining their mind, body, and soul more effectively the obesity percentage would decrease tremendously. I love witnessing older people who are still able to move like they’re in their 20s. I admire that. That is why I will continue to take care of my body, so when I am old I am able to still function correctly, that will truly be a blessing and those older people are a blessing as well.

SeaWorld wildlife will continue to expand as long as the earth turns. Every single day scientists come up with a new species that was found on the ocean floor. My favorite animal out of the entire ocean happens to be the legendary Humpback Whale. This large and enormous creature serves the ocean floor as the king of all the animals. Whales have one of the most important roles out of all the sea creatures because they provide us with something very essential to a human life. Did you know that whales provide at least half of the oxygen that we breathe on earth. Whales produce Phytoplankton. Phytoplankton helps us to breathe like we’re supposed to. Without our wonderful whales, it would be impossible for us to have fresh air to breathe. The newest discovery as of 2021 about Humpback Whales are that they're poop actually helps fertilize the ocean. My large friends even help to control the population of the fish in the sea while working as a protector against our not so friendly sharks. Whales also help to produce climate control. Just think whales are doing all of these essential things up under the deep blue sea. They continually show me that no matter where you are and no matter what’s going on around you, you can always make a difference to help better people's lives. Some people like to use whales for oil, and some even like to use whales for meals. I, Kristin Kirby, just get joy in knowing that they’re the protectors of the ocean. They will continue to swim in tribes protecting, helping, and loving our beautiful deep blue seas.

Courageous – is the act of being ready and willing to face negative circumstances involving danger or pain. Being courageous is the reason why I am applying to this scholarship now. I decided to take a leap of faith during the process of me getting my second degree. My courageousness will be the beginning of financial freedom for my family and I. In less than seven years my goal is to be debt free and I will begin the process of helping my mother get debt free as well. At the start of 2020, I had no idea that the media studies degree I was going to school for was not going to be used right away. Due to the coronavirus, healthcare jobs started to spike leaving upcoming media studies students jobs very slim. As a 19 year old dropping out of school didn’t seem like the best option. I was using Fort Valley State University as a place to live and a place to find myself. I didn’t realize that staying, and not using my degree right away would put me in more debt than I already was. It’s my fault because I didn’t know 100% what I wanted to major in when I first came to Fort Valley State University. I had aspirations to be a doctor but I didn’t want to stay in school 8 to 10 years or more but I wanted to have a healthcare job that would allow me to have a normal life. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2022 where I discovered sonography, I was scrolling on TikTok and it found me. Sonography is the perfect job for combining healthcare and photography. This is what I am destined to do. So now with a bachelors degree in media studies, I’m going back to school for my associates degree in sonography. It takes a real courageous person to have $28,000 worth of debt and go back to school for $50,000 with high hopes to get rid of their debt and to have financial freedom before the age of 30.

August 6th 1965, was the day former President Lyndon Johnson signed into law stating that blacks were finally allowed to vote. Amelia Boynton Robinson was standing right there witnessing it for her own eyes. Her courageous work had finally paid off. Amelia Boynton Robinson and Samuel William Boynton were just two people who just couldn’t obey the rules. They worked day and night to secure equal rights for all. Mr and Mrs. Robinson were civil rights activists during the 1900s. The dedication that they exercised was the reason why our 44th president was Mr Barack Obama. The impact they had on our lives is essential. Mrs. Robinson was responsible for orchestrating the dangerous walk held in Selma AL. All she wanted was for her people to obtain equal rights and she didn’t stop until justice was served. Mr and Mrs Robinson worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King to ensure that all colors of people would be treated equal and would have the right to vote. Mr and Mrs Robinson worked together in love and holy matrimony preaching to the world that you are worthless unless you vote. They attempted to encourage the young people to own property of their own. Mrs Robinson worked as an agriculture department home demonstrative agent. She remembers going to schools in Alabama and seeing the children not even have enough money to eat lunch, this broke her heart. I can sympathize with her because I have seen this happen. For the summer, I was working at a daycare and some of the children come from low income families or foster care. You could tell by looking at them that they weren’t eating meals at home how they should be. I’m extremely thankful for Mrs Robinson because of her actions and courageousness it prompted Federal Food programs for low income families to eat at school. Mrs Robinson was attacked and others around her were beaten or killed just so that U.S. citizens around the country could be eligible to vote. She was a diligent and determined worker. Without Mr and Mrs Robinson helping us to get equal rights the world as we know could be destructive. I graduated from Fort Valley State University, The Number One Public Historical Black College and University in Georgia. I am a active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), I am an advocate for students to have zero student loan debt. I have been a part of several community service events by donating to those less fortunate then me and also volunteered my hours for younger students who need tutoring services. I am an active voting member and I not only vote for presidential candidates but I am an advocate for voting locally because your local votes matter just as much as the presidential. So I am thankful for Mr and Mrs Robinson for leading the way for more young people to walk in those same shoes by getting people registered to vote and by helping the young to get educated so that they will be eligible for financial freedom.
