As an active member of the LGBTQ+ community being a bisexual person, I contributed to the community from my heart in several times, and I plant to still do it in college and beyond. My experience in the LGBTQ+ community has been one of active involvement and support. During the 2021-2022 school year, I participated in the LGBTQ+ club at my high school. In this club, we were discussed important topics such as self-acceptance, respect for others' identities, and ways to create a more inclusive environment at school. Moreover, I contributed ideas on how we could show support for the LGBTQ+ community and helped create a logo that combined our school symbol with the LGBTQ+ flag. This logo now serves as the profile photo for our school’s Instagram account, symbolizing our school's support for the community and now proudly represents our commitment to inclusivity. Aside from that, inside and outside the club I have been a help to those in the LGBTQ+ community who feel distressed about themselves for having a different sexual orientation or identity than other people. I have helped people from the LGBTQ+ community to be able to have a more open mind and be able to accept themselves through emotional support and talks where we touch on psychological issues, and the effect that prejudices have on their lives and on their way of expressing their sexuality. Thanks to this, these people have been able to relieve their mental burden that they have on themselves, and have been able to live a normal life as another person, coming out of the closet, and accepting themselves. Looking ahead, I see myself continuing to give back to the LGBTQ+ community. In college and beyond, I plan to provide psychological and emotional support to LGBTQ+ individuals through groups or clubs. My goal is to address issues that are often overlooked but are crucial for individuals to lead healthy lives and feel at peace with themselves. I aim to prevent the tragedies that unfortunately occur within our community by offering support and understanding. My long-term goal is to become a psychiatrist. Studying biology, psychology, and pre-med at CUNY - City College will equip me with the knowledge and skills I need to contribute more effectively to the LGBTQ+ community. I hope to improve my communication skills and gain a deeper understanding of the human mind, which will enable me to offer better support to those in need. However, I will not be able to accomplish these plans that I have without any financial aid that help me to build my dream. Receiving the Star Farm Scholarship is crucial for me in financially terms. As an undocumented student, there are limited financial aid options available to me, due to the mayority of financial aids as FAFSA are to people who have a legal status, and unfortunately my status prevents me from obtaining these aids. This scholarship will help cover my college expenses, making it easier for me to pay for my undergraduate years and save money for medical school. Additionally, it will allow me to take a training course to become a paramedic, helping me familiarize myself with the medical environment while I am in college. In conclusion, I am dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and pursuing a career in psychiatry. The Star Farm Scholarship will provide the financial support I need to continue my education and make a positive impact on the lives of others.

In the world, there are so many things happening that make us think about if we can do something to change them. The world as we know it would be absolutely different with those changes. If I had the power to make just one change in this world, it would be to contribute to cleaning the streets of people who have mental issues and help them to get a normal life. They would live in a better place and have better mental health and treatment than we currently have. I would do this change because there has been a mental health crisis for many years. This crisis affects everyone who has a family member with a mental condition as my case with my two brothers who have autism, and one of them have suffered several mental crisis, or someone who goes out to the streets and faces a situation every day with another person who has severe mental illness. These people run the risk of putting themselves and others in danger in every circumstance. They need a lot of help, but sometimes their own families or the government forget them and leave them alone without any assistance to help them deal with their own needs.Moreover, my interest in this is because I have always been passionate about understanding and addressing mental health issues, what as a rising college freshman at CUNY - City College, my dream career and goal is becoming in a psychiatric. This career proportionate to me the opportunity to make this change to the world, starting to this country, and working so close with people who have mental illness to help them to get a healthier life. I would do this change because people with mental illness are still humans with feelings, emotions, and needs. They do not deserve to be alone facing their situation. They deserve to be in a safe and healthy environment where they receive adequate treatment, protect themselves from harm, and protect everyone else as well. To do this change, I would create several organizations with government funding across the country to focus on helping these people. This would make the country a better place and help the citizens who have genuine needs, which the state and every person in the country must take responsibility for. In conclusion, by making this change, I hope to create a world where people with mental illnesses are treated with the dignity and care they deserve. This change would not only improve their lives but also make our communities safer and more compassionate.
