    First-Gen Futures Scholarship
    I plan to become an entrepreneur offering a service or good to better the community. I want to excel in any tech or science-related field. I don't want to be selfish and take care of myself. I want to be a blessing to others, offering scholarships to those who are experiencing poverty and hardships. My BS is in Science Information Technology Cybersecurity, and I have a 4.0 GPA. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa. I am a SCLA, the Society of Collegiate Leadership & Achievement member. I'm a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society. I also belong to The National Society of Collegiate Scholars because Strayer University gives me an opportunity. I am beyond grateful, and my biggest ambition is to do something magnificent. I have overcome the loss of many loved ones. I used to struggle with trauma; however, I'm happy to report more peace today. My dream is to one day become a fabulous Mom and wife to my family. I would love to encourage adult education. I was a high school dropout, so I would love to encourage others to stay in school. Or perhaps give them information about alternatives like a GED program. Life has not always been easy, but I don't take shortcuts. I believe in putting in hard work. I want to end some causes, like homelessness and hunger. There is no limit to what I can do with my newfound education, and that's the best part. Economic downturn is happening everywhere; maybe I can help solve some issues that many Americans face. I would love to recommend Strayer University to many more people as it has changed my life. While opening doors for me, I never thought they were accessible. Earning my degree has encouraged me to dream again. I want to help others to dream again. Failure is a stepping stone to success. The key is to develop a supreme growth mindset by gaining a different perspective on life. I have plenty of family trying their best to succeed, and I want to mentor them. When we promote education, we will want to do inspiring things. I want to give children something to look up to. There are many negative images and stereotypes out there. However, I hope that I break them all in time. I want my children to complete school and obtain degrees as well. I met my fiancé, and he is in college as well. I even inspired him. I love that he believes in education as well. I was arrested falsely in 2019, but there was no conviction so I can attend Strayer University with no felonies. I speak about criminal justice issues all the time. I'm thankful my degree will help to limit crimes in the world by making things more secure. More cyber crimes are happening today, and I want to be part of the solution. I would love to be able to be a policy changer. I believe in being a doer and not just saying what should happen. I think I must be that change I would like to see for a thing to change. I want to bring honor to my family with everything I do. I believe I can accomplish whatever I put my mind to. Participation in this program would change my life because it's directly tied to my studies. I would gain exceptional knowledge, networking, and opportunities. I am a first-generation college student.

I'm an ordained minister with no criminal history. I may have started college late but my life is only just begun. I plan to secure Americans from cyber attacks. I would love to learn more about coding programs, and software. Studying while staying focused has helped me achieve my dreams. My passion is to one day be an amazing minority in technology. With a growth mindset staying ahead of the curve while applying analytical thinking helps secure my future. I would also love to learn a new language and bring technical skills to underserved areas like Africa to help build the infrastructure. Solar power wells electricity homes. I would like to reduce carbon emissions with an invention. My Mom & Dad always said I'm one idea away from changing the world. The best tech is those that change society for the better and help humanity stick closer together. Maybe I could end war or hunger or homelessness. I've experienced enough adversity that it hardwired me for change. Maybe I'll be a politician that keeps my word or open a school for those with disabilities. I can imagine helping to reduce my carbon footprint and those of others. Sending young boys to camps for the stem. My ultimate goal is to offer millions in scholarships to those who need opportunities like me. Those who work burning that midnight oil. Making solar-powered cars and phones laptops projectors appliances elevators escalators. Drawing blueprints, using CAD to design solar-operated jet skies planes, refrigerators, and generators. Get deeper into hydro gardening and build more gardens in food deserts. I want solar-powered conveyors built and tighter logistics. Build Bridges, tunnels, and roads here in the U.S. that incorporate solar power as well. I want to build affordable housing too. Reverse the greenhouse effect and reduce the rise in temperature to protect glaciers and rising sea levels. Which will keep small towns below sea level from flooding. Fox the economic downturn joblessness. create better schools. Pay would be equal as well and do away with discrimination. I want to do everything in my power to make the world a better and safer place. I would even find a cure for cancer and illnesses. Connect more genealogy records to a database with deeper DNA so that people with no records. Protect wildlife, nature, and natural wonders. In all I plan to be a very busy woman should I be able to afford my education. In conclusion, addiction would have to be eradicated too.

    Mass incarceration has been a problem in this country since the post-civil war. Minorities are the first to have their rights violated. Bail is usually a ransom, and lawyer's fees are costly. I'm a full-time Strayer University student. I'm pursuing my BS in Science Information Technology Cyber Security. Also, I am an Ordained Reverend. I've made the President List multiple times and am currently a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the most prestigious honor society in the world. I was arrested three times for self-defense in the City of Philadelphia at RCF. I called 911 to get assistance each time the city left me to ensure I was ok. Addiction is so bad in this country that situations happen due to addicts you don't expect. Like them to press charges on you after they attack you and waste taxpayers' money for trial. I have been set up a couple of times and had a cop lie to me to win in court. I've seen people I help with food and clothes children get on the stand and testify against me. I've seen arresting officers treat the attackers like victims, bring them food pay for transportation to court & the person still doesn't show up to court due to getting high. My highest bail was $75,000 without a gun or prior offenses. I was in court with people with those offenses whose bail was not that high. I still say I'm not a product of my drug-infested racist environment. I am, however, a product of my choices. They didn't care if I had a family, dreams, hopes, and aspirations. They just wanted my freedom with no justice so that the privately owned jail could make more off inmates than they spend to care for them. Treated like an animal, handcuffed to people, objects, and patty wagons, they rough rode me over the rough streets with potholes and no seatbelt. At that moment, I was no longer just a ppi number. God is impressive, though. I prayed to him and told him I had a lawyer. I needed him to be my lawyer. I won all my cases, and every charge was dismissed and expunged off my record while I was being successful. My God Dad, Grandfather & three Uncles, brother & cousins are Veterans. Every day I aim o make them proud. They sacrifice a lot for me. They also served in multiple branches of the service.

I was arrested three times for self-defense in the City of Philadelphia at RCF. I called 911 to get assistance each time the city left me to ensure I was ok. Each time I faced over ten felonies and misdemeanors, min and maximums. Addiction is so bad in this country that situations happen due to addicts you don't expect. Like them to press charges on you after they attack you and waste taxpayers' money for trial. The deepest part is the time I can't get back. Crack is a crazy drug also meth & Philly fiends are different. I have been set up a couple of times and had a cop lie to me to win in court. I've seen people I help with food and clothes children get on the stand and testify against me. I've seen arresting officers treat the attackers like victims, bring them food pay for transportation to court & the person still doesn't show up to court due to getting high. My highest bail was $75,000 without a gun or prior offenses. I was in court with people with those offenses whose bail was not that high. I still say I'm not a product of my drug-infested racist environment. I am, however, a product of my choices. I make the best decisions possible to treat people how I want to be treated & trust God for the rest. Judge Hope was a great Judge; she saw the cop & my witness lying under oath. Many will do anything possible to get a case by all means. I've seen the prosecution edit body cam footage to play for another Judge who saw what they tried to do & request the whole recording on my behalf. They didn't care if I had a family, dreams, hopes, and aspirations. They just wanted my freedom with no justice so that the privately owned jail could make more off inmates than they spend to care for them. Treated like an animal, handcuffed to people, objects, and patty wagons, they rough rode me over the rough streets with potholes and no seatbelt. At that moment, I was no longer just a ppi number. God is impressive, though. I prayed to him and told him I had a lawyer. I needed him to be my lawyer. I won all my cases, and every charge was dismissed and expunged off my record while I was being successful. My last self-defense almost turned into attempted murder, but it was deemed that I was not responsible for the death of the victim who lied in her testimony about me. Then three days before my birthday, she died. I can't make this stuff up since life is like a movie. I plan to thrive. I have some PTSD, of course, but I don't have to stay stuck in survival mode. The way I appreciate my opportunities that part made it ok if the addicts didn't apologize or the cops who arrested me falsely didn't help me at all.

    Mass incarceration has been a problem in this country since the post-civil war. Minorities are the first to have their rights violated. Bail is usually a ransom, and lawyer's fees are costly.

    My most outstanding achievement was achieving the WINTER 2021 President's List for Strayer University. I received a 4.0 GPA after being evicted by an illegal landlord with an addiction. He got a PFA against me falsely. I went to court and beat the case he never showed. That's not important; it does display my passion for pursuing my goals against all odds. That address is where I started getting straight A's. I knew that I could overcome homelessness but not drop out of school. Where I became an Ordained Minister Rev. Pauls. I didn't think he was getting high on meth when I moved in. I contacted Phila.gov, which will pay 18 months of rent for me to about $1,600. In a few days, I will be signing my lease. Addiction has affected my life in many ways. It's never my habits that caused me issues but the practices of others. I have overcome childhood rape and abuse. I have failed grades multiple times. I never knew my father, and my Mom died before I was ten years old. Overcame dysfunction and generational curses. The Man I call dad is my Uncle through marriage. He is a Veteran with a strong work ethic and became an entrepreneur. If he didn't talk to me, giving me sound guidance, I don't know where I would be. God will always send you somebody. I was arrested three times by Philadelphia PD for self-defense won all my cases were dismissed and expunged off my record. The witness died; it looked like it would turn into attempted murder. However, the autopsy came back to natural causes. I have been through hell and back to be able to testify that God can do the impossible. I have overcome actual domestic violence in the past. I have had a Bipolar PTSD diagnosis in the past, but God has the final say & I'm thankful for that. My life has taught me how to perform under persevere under pressure.
    I Am Third Scholarship
    Goal in life or education includes HDFS Degree. I’m a ordained minister I understand spiritual warfare. I have survived rape the discrediting of name. Person responsible sought to keep this hidden. I was content as well however I was really sick mentally physically emotionally. I was disconnected from Jehovah spiritually. I didn’t know who to trust or talk to. I went through addiction as a coping mechanism. Expressing myself emotionally was an after thought. One day I prayed asked for help. A friend told me about her doctor having openings. I went in for mental health check up. I had a Black Women who was my doctor. I quickly informed her I didn’t want medication. Seeing many people become zombies off some meds made me stand-off. She told me Ms. Pauls your Not Crazy. Many people need Therapy because the people close to them won’t go. This was a major confirmation for me. It felt great to talk to someone who understood me. Self love & Self Esteem we’re non existent in me. Our inner voice is developed as a child. When there are adults who abuse you physically & verbally. Their voice becomes your inner voice. She had me do many journaling assignments. I was able to rescue the inner child in me. I look forward to being the same help for other in need. Be it drug counseling marriage counseling. Maybe just being what I needed as a child. My passion is burning for my purposes. That’s my vision to Impact the Future. I must be a Light in the Darkness only light can drive out the darkness.
