I feel that I am uniquely deserving of this award because I aim to inspire women of all demographics to persevere with great determination to take any & all avenues of success, whether these women define their success through financials, academia, or personal growth. My "why" for pursuing higher education was initially spurred by life-changing circumstances in which I found myself a single mother moving home to mom & dad with no college degree that would secure career advancement, thus leading to financial & professional growth. Over the last 5 years, I have worked multiple jobs at once while obtaining both my associate & baccalaureate degrees. I now work two jobs with a child in high school who is taking college courses herself. I found myself assisting her with dual enrollment & found that as much as I have inspired her to pursue her academia aggressively, I am too still hungry for more knowledge, personal growth, and professional advancement. She inspires me as much as I inspire her. I fear that, at this point, only funding such growth may hinder my process. It is with great hope that you, too, find that I am uniquely deserving of this scholarship as well. I thank you greatly for your consideration.

I dream big! I am currently working to obtain both an Associates & Bachelors of Science in Nursing while double minoring in Health & Wellness as well as Business. My goal is to pursue a competitive Nurse Practioner program that will allow me to further pursue my many interests within science, healthcare, & business. I come from a military family & find myself drawn to the idea of utilizing my education & expertise within veteran-based facilities such as the Department of Veteran Affairs. Furthermore, I aim to open my own business promoting Health & Wellness for all individuals. I would be honored to be a part of a research team at some point during my educational & professional endeavors.

My father, a veteran of the US Army, has made a huge impact on my career aspirations. My father's recent health decline has prompted me, more than ever, to not only pursue nursing as a career but to advance in the field of nursing. I am currently working toward my ASN & RN-BSN concurrently all while minoring in both health & wellness & business. I have been able to learn matter that is specific to my future career as a nurse & aid in my father's journey to wellness. I have been able to take the knowledge gained thus far & use it to actively participate in his treatment. Attending various appointments to Veteran Affair Facility has furthered my interest in potentially seeking employment with such a facility post-graduation. I have the potential to give back to those who have served our nation not only as a nurse but as a child of a veteran & former spouse to a veteran. It is my goal to succeed in my academic endeavors so that my potential can be implemented.
