Bio

1) My life goals right now include finishing school and achieving success in my intended career path. This is very important to me as I very well intend to be independent come graduation. I have never backed away from my goals. 2) My passion is Animals. I'm an Animal Bio student hoping for veterinary but open to other animal paths. I am very well looking forward to helping animals live better lives in the future. 3) I’m a great candidate because despite having many medical conditions I don’t give up. Instead I do whatever I can to strive forward to reach my goals. I believe in keeping on going forward towards your future not staying back no matter what others tell you.

    Live Music Lover Scholarship
    My favorite concert that I went to was Karol G. My First Concert that I went to was Rihanna and Kesha. I loved both concerts very much but I connected more with the Karol G concert. I am not being racist because Karol G is Hispanic and so am I. I just found that Both Rihanna and Kesha were great singers just not great at grabbing attention due to lack of variety. My photo is proof that I actually was at the Karol G concert. I found her to be wonderful with grabbing attention due to such a variety of songs. I’m not a music major but I love attending concerts when I have the chance. For me both concerts were great in their own ways. There should be no reason to miss a concert if you have the opportunity to attend one. Concerts for the most part are very entertaining and enjoyable. Music helps keep our energy flowing. That being said nothing is better than a concert for an artist of music that you enjoy. I saw both concerts with a family member and I loved that very much always. Family bonding is a wonderful thing that should never be overlooked. It’s a bonus when you like the same music. When you each like the same music that’s someone who gets to go to concerts with you for certain with confidence when you’re both available. Enjoy each other while you live near each other because afterwards things will be different. You won’t get to go places together all that often anymore once you’re further away from each other. The concert is a perfect time to have fun together no matter if it’s there are many times left or if it’s the last time. Make the best out of it because you don’t know when that artist that both of you like is returning to the area. It’s a harsh thing but it’s a reality to face. Music is about the present moment not the future. It’s set to have you forget what’s coming and focus on being together that moment enjoying your presence with each other. That’s not something that happens often therefore concerts are set to make sure that something does happen with you in various songs or even just in one song. The idea is to concentrate with the music. Whether you sing , dance , or stay still viewing the singer at your seat is up to you but it’s not meant for you to pretend something that isn’t true at all. If you aren’t going to enjoy it then you might as well not attend at all.
    Carole H. Beveridge Memorial Scholarship
    I’m studying Animal Biology because I have a strong passion for animals. With this Major I plan to be an Animal Nutritionist. I find Animal Nutrition to be important because there are too many animals that are living unhealthy lives. Part of this starts from their nutrition to make sure that they are being fed with an ideal diet plan. My original goal in fact was Veterinary Medicine. I had to turn away from that by force not by choice. The reason is that due to seizures and falls on one side of my body I’m not able to perform Veterinary tasks properly from both hands. As someone who is truly into animals I don’t want to go into the field and not save the animals due to not having equilibrium in my hands. I rather save the animals with their nutrition needs. That way I know I’m still in the field and I’m still helping out. I might not be as Important as the veterinarian but I will still be looked for. Animals especially ones whom are underweight or overweight need a diet plan to get back to normal. I’m basically someone whom doesn’t give up. If my original goal of Veterinary can’t happen I’m going to get an alternative route but still with the animals. I really don’t care I’m still in school for my animal degree regardless. I’m not letting anything or anyone bring me down. I’m rising back up and looking to achieve what it is that I’m looking for no matter what it takes. I’m ready to take on the challenges that are facing me on the way no matter what comes with them. The animals at the end don’t care what you went through. They just want you to be able to help them live longer. Therefore I’m definitely a great candidate here as I’m continuing along to pursue a degree and a career for the overall well being of the animals despite not being veterinary it’s self. All of us in the animal field are working together in order to comply with the same goal of helping the animals live just a little longer even though for us it’s never enough time. Let’s make this work together for the sake of the animals if you are a true believer and lover for them. I will be greatly appreciated if I’m selected as I’m in it for the animals more than anything. I don’t know what to tell you animals are my passion and I would do absolutely anything for them no matter what it involves.

    Dr. Howard Hochman Zoological Scholarship
    During childhood I always had animals. I had built a strong connection and desire with them. I personally had animals for numerous years. I therefore I grew up with animals and it brings back memories that last forever. My current major is Animal Biology. It involves animals because it’s the Biology it’s self of any animal. It helps me for if I want to pursue Veterinary Sciences or for if I just want to be an Animal Nutritionist or an Animal Pharmacologist. Either way I’m right there in the hospital ready to act either directly or indirectly with whatever the animal needs. I plan to make a positive impact by striving to make the lives of animals better than when I saw them. Just like anyone studying this or already in the field I know it pays a lot but I’m not interested in the money. I am interested in the health and wellness of the animals more than anything. If you don’t deserve to suffer animals don’t either. I don’t find that there should be anything to prevent me from succeeding in advancing in my career. Anything is possible as long as we remain positive and stay committed to our goals no matter what others tell us. If you believe in animals then there shouldn’t be a reason for you to stop either. Therefore basically I’m your nominee if you want animals to live a different kind of life in the future. I am looking forward to solving how to help animals to go through there lives more gracefully rather than as they do presently with so much unnecessary suffering that a lot of times is able to be avoided by helping out in different ways depending on the animal. With you my future is coming to life and I would appreciate all of you for it. My major excites me rather than bores me. For most people their major is boring “another semester is coming” vs for me my major is exciting “I’m getting closer to saving lives”. What can be better than never being bored because there’s always something to look forward to? I personally don’t think there is whatsoever because it’s simply the best. You can’t put a price on an experience this rewarding because it’s simply amazing. It comes down to the animals are my life not just random creatures that I see all the time. I actually love animals with a passion and want them to be saved.
    Westport Big & Tall Scholarship
    As a man who is 6 ft 3 I can say I have a love/ hate relationship with my height. I love it because it makes reaching things / putting them way easier. I also hate it because shirts aren’t long enough for me to cover my entire belly and pants don’t cover my entire bootie. I also have a love/hate relationship with my height because I love how I can reach up to take better pictures. I hate how I have to crouch down every time there’s a low ceiling or tree branch. I don’t find it funny that I need to struggle just because of my height. I actually love myself and my family and friends do as well. Sometimes it’s actually an inconvenience in this society to be above 6 feet and there’s no reason for that. As someone majoring in Science I find that it’s totally disrespectful and disappointing. You can’t let height and weight be part of anything yet society does that to us always. Look at most stores they always stop at XL or perhaps 2X. It’s like what have us 3X plus men ever done to them that they don’t want us in there? The truth is nobody has time to only focus on diet and exercise if you are a student or work. Therefore I’m glad you consider the a-typical men like me who also are looking to survive. I’m legit just like everyone else but my body is built differently so general society is going to judge me because of that. I don’t like that whatsoever and things need to change. Being over 6 feet doesn’t mean I’m staying home. It means I’m going out to fight for who I am. I will still attend school and still do everything to achieve my potential career. I want us who are different to be heard and supported. We all have what it takes to achieve our potential careers. We simply need support from each other. Don’t leave us alone actually help make things progress into the future for others like us. If you believe that things need to change then definitely nominate me for this scholarship. I’m in science because I’m a proud believer of what that future holds for us that aren’t like the rest. There’s no way I ever allowed anyone to judge me. I always continue forward regardless of what’s going on around me. This life was made for all of us not just who the world believes in. I’m tired of this struggle and want to actually know who is with me.
    Justin David Valle Scholarship
    I have Epilepsy and I always remain positive. I find that each fall is a sign to get back up, each shake is a sign to get back together. There is absolutely no reason why you can’t keep on going in the direction of your future goals. Absolutely nobody is stopping you but yourself. I always find that it’s best to ignore those negative people around us and only focus on the positive people that are actually there to motivate us. Most people don’t even know that I have epilepsy because I am a thrived who doesn’t stop or give up on myself no matter what challenges I might be facing along the way. At the end it’s not about the challenges but how do you deal with them. I always do my best and if that’s not enough it’s time to seek help. It doesn’t matter how much or how little help but it’s still very necessary because it can make a major improvement. Sometimes serious conditions means we need to find an alternative career path. I always wanted to be a Veterinarian but my Epilepsy caused me to not have equal function in both limbs. Therefore I need to change plans to be an Animal Nutritionist. I didn’t always want to be an Animal Nutritionist but it’s a lot easier and safer for me and I have to accept myself as I am. I can’t try to become someone else or take a condition away that is likely forever. I need to live and be myself at the same time regardless how difficult that might seem. I’m clearly telling you as a Hispanic Student that I don’t care if you are racist I will in fact continue on with my school and my career. I’m simply not afraid of facing my obstacles around me I will take whatever there is. For me when you study a career that you actually love rather than a career that you are in for the money nothing will make you stop. You will go on until you reached your goal and more regardless what it takes. A medical condition or racism will mean nothing to you in order to get to where you want to be. If you agree then you should select me as I am truly into my current Major of Animal Biology. I’m totally look forward to working in the field shortly after graduation. It will be an amazing experience to encounter as it’s like nothing else.
    Students for Animal Advocacy Scholarship
    I’m passionate about animals for the simple reason that animals deserve to live better lives. I find that in many places animals are often mistreated, abused, or neglected and it shouldn’t be that way. Just because they don’t talk or act like us doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to live graciously. No living being should be considered lesser because that isn’t right or fair. I’m studying Animal Biology because I believe in the future of animals. I know for most of you animals are your children and I am looking to treat them as such. Animals are nothing less than blessings. Sometimes they can be very important depending what you are using them for. I have volunteered at both an animal shelter and at a farm. I don’t regret a second of going there. Animals remember who you are even if it’s been a while since you’ve been with them. It’s a miracle because we forget after a while and they don’t. They really love us even when things go wrong. We don’t do that with our fellow humans. This is part of the reason why we need to be part of the future for animals rather than bring us back in time who knows how many years. I found animals to be amazing despite not talking because you still make deep connections with them. With Animal Biology my preference is to get into Veterinary but I’m open to other careers. I personally don’t find that there’s anything better. The reason is that it’s a wonderful feeling when you are part of the change already. Animals always need us there. Animals will always be around therefore protection instead of Hunting would be a great start. Animals are therefore the most amazing out of out of state. Most of us say we care about animals but we aren’t there present for them. I am actually there at my volunteering doing anything I have to do as needed. I don’t complain because I actually love animals. I personally rather have animals to see our reaction in the best way po
    Youssef University’s College Life Scholarship
    If I wasn’t a student $1,000 would be excellent for many things including travel or supporting my favorite organizations. The reality as a student is that $1,000 doesn’t even cover one class. College is supposed to be a wonderful time but at the same time it’s very stressful with how expensive it is. I often wish that this money could be used towards something else. The reality is that I can’t because that would delay me from reaching my career goal and from graduating. I’m an Animal Biology Major and I strongly believe that with me that money is used properly. The use will be in nothing other than Animal Education. Eventually what that tells you is I’m doing everything I can to help animals that need me. Your only reason to not select me is if you don’t care about animals and their survival. I’m in this major because I find that Animals deserve life just as much as we do and don’t receive enough attention compared to us. Therefore you are either with me or not there’s no in between when it comes to living creatures and their survival. I would love to do whatever I want with $1,000 but I’m not going to. I have a set path ahead of me that I’m looking to accomplish. If you don’t want it to happen too bad because I will find another way to make that possible. I’m determined to succeed with animals and that’s why I move forward.

    Scholarship for Student Perseverance
    As someone with both Epilepsy and Autism I must say my support system has always been there to improve my life. Thanks to them I strive to make my future a lot better than I would’ve on my own. My supporters can feel annoying to me at times but they are always there to keep me motivated to keep on going. At times I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for them. My major is very challenging but that doesn’t mean I give up. I instead continue forward until I completed it officially. I feel great when I finish what I start because you don’t have that empty feeling especially when it’s for something you enjoy. My major is Animal Biology and I’m in it because I truly care about animals with a passion. For ma animals deserve to be cared for just as much as we do and many times they are forgotten. As someone with Epilepsy and Autism I been told in school thing like I wasn’t ever going to graduate. I actually already have two Associates Degrees and am about to start a Bachelors Degree Program. If My Supporters taught me anything it was to not listen to negativity. Negativity just puts you down and delays you from achieving your goals only listen to yourself and your supporters from start to finish because nobody else cares about you nor what you are set to study. When you have the ability to strive forward and ignore negativity you are already heading in the direction towards your goals. Animals for me aren’t just my studies they are more therapeutic than my therapist because I actually get to connect with them in a special unique way. Every animal has a different character that you need to learn by being with them a while. As an example male goats let me brush them and female goats don’t. There’s no reason for that but they simply react differently and they let us know that we tend to be different also no matter in what ways it might be. I strongly hope that they show you always that animals still to this day deserve to live just as much as anyone else. Our differences shouldn’t limit us instead they should make us stronger and more willing to prove to others that we are capable of moving forward into any field regardless of the struggles that we may face along the way.
    You Glow Differently When You're Happy Scholarship
    My latest happy memory educationally was when school was in person back in 2019. I really am not so into online classes especially for my major because there’s no hands on experience. It’s not the same to be watching a video as opposed to be actively participating. I truly believe that truly being engaged in your field brings a special connection. My latest happy memory personally was when I was able to attend to activities with family when everything opened up for the first time. That was such a joy because we no longer had to stay home.
    Jae'Sean Tate BUILT Scholarship
    I been working for many years in the service industry whether it was in a restaurant, a store, or a warehouse. I’m proud of that experience because it lead me to be hands on with others in the community for the greater good that we are all looking for. I love helping customers but as we all know sooner or later it’s time to move on and this is the opportunity to move on to bigger and better things. If I’m selected I’m actually pursuing Animal Biology in College. I don’t know whether or not that’s also considered as service but I view it as service. You are putting time and effort to saving animals when you could’ve been doing something else. The reason I am studying animals is that I am passionate about them because many times they care for us more than our fellow humans. They have the same rights to be saved and protected as we do but not everyone sees that. Aside from that I also have numerous medical conditions despite that I continue every day to strive forward at school and at work. I don’t let anyone or anything put me down. As you see being in service and looking for Animal Bio I am very well community focused regardless if it’s in one aspect or the other. I always prove myself that I am worthy no matter what happens to prevent me from continuing.
    Bold Books Scholarship
    As an Animal Bio Major I need to say Pug Actually has been very inspiring as of now. It let me see more about Pugs than I could imagine. Until you actually read a book you don’t know what to expect because every page is different nonetheless every chapter. Before reading this I still cared about them but I lacked knowledge because I didn’t know what they were about other than those wrinkles. Books are the open door to knowledge about any subject. It’s your decision about whether you want to take it or you want to stay closed forever but you will regret it later if you don’t. Through what you learn in books is that you can finally act in order to perform well in your life no matter what your goals are. There’s no excuse for you to not open up a book especially one related to what you are studying so that you can get a better idea of what to expect in life.
    Bold Friendship Matters Scholarship
    As a student friendship to me means support at all times. Your lifelong friend is that friend whom will be there no matter what you are struggling with. That friend is the one who you most admire for helping you conquer school and in the future for helping out with your children. I would rather suffer with a true friend than have it easy by myself. True friends don’t care about what it takes for you to succeed the thing is getting there. Just like when you first started working team work is the way to go in order to achieve the goals. We aren’t the same apart as we are when we are united because 2 minds are better than one in order to get the job done properly. There’s absolutely no reason to screw things up if we can work together to get things done more efficiently and the best part is that we don’t even need to be studying the same thing to be friends. The only requirement is that we are there for each other at all times.
    Bold Memories Scholarship
    The experience that shaped who I am today was when family had their first pets. That lead me to grow my passion in Animal Biology today because I developed a strong connection with the animals. Animals for me are just as important as any of you are. The main difference is that they are actually more diverse than we are. Animals aren’t always easy to handle but they are always there for you. I’m proud that my family helped guide me through my path in life. I’m positive that things will go well because the connection that animals build with you is amazing. It’s especially strong if they know you are the one to prolong their lives because nothing is better than that. That being said I’m an animal person today also because of different animal experiences I encountered along the way. I don’t regret absolutely anything that happened to me because I believe everything happened for a reason. That reason is for me to sooner or later be with those beloved animals for life for the better of their lives. I wouldn’t ask to make a single change otherwise I wouldn’t be who I am today and I don’t want to be anybody else. Therefore, only nominate me if you believe in animals. Animals need your help while humans for the most part survive on their own. That’s why animals are better because nothing is better than a creature that’s always looking for you for something even if it’s something simple. That and animals for the most part are usually more loyal than humans. There’s no reason to not allow them to live their full lives when they are trying to care for you in their own unique ways.
    CareerVillage.org Scholarship
    My major is Animal Biology and I am in it because I truly believe in animals. I find that there is a difference between jobs and careers. A job is just whatever shows up but a career is for life therefore it should be your passion. You aren’t going to college to regret yourself when you have children saying that you hate what you do for a living. Nobody should graduate in a major that will make them dissatisfied. Don’t listen to others when it comes to what to study because they won’t be the ones performing your work. The one performing your work is going to be you therefore make yourself proud of what you did and let them see what you did later. Please nominate me if you believe what I’m saying is the way it should be. Until graduation comes the career exploration journey is ongoing. I don’t know if my major will result in being a vet, an animal nutritionist, an animal scientist the thing is it will lead to the same path no matter what the outcome is. I would accept whatever I get because I know it happened for the better of our beloved animals that need us. If you end up in an alternate career nothing was wrong. Just note that’s where you were most needed to help in that area. Online resources helped me a lot for jobs. Thanks to them I been working for many years. When it comes to your career online resources still don’t help until you met the proper qualifications for whatever the career is. Usually it takes longer to qualify for a career than for a job and that’s why we all start out with jobs before we reach our career goals. When it comes to careers you need to remain positive that you will achieve yours. Depending upon what yours is it’s possibly going to be a challenge but you can make it as long as you have what it takes to conquer all the requirements that they ask for. I’m not quitting my animal education because I want employers to see I got what it takes to face them even if it’s not necessarily the best situation. Animals can be complicated so you need to be ready for them at all times because you don’t know when they are going to act up in whatever means. Don’t quit your education in the Major you are passionate about also get a job or a volunteering related to that. I currently have two volunteering jobs related to animals and am proud of that. I am showing that nothing is stopping me from my career goals in the future because I am serious about my passion for the future of animals. I really believe they deserve more than what they are provided sometimes depending upon the situation. Some people really don’t care or find they are worthless but they deserve to live as much as you do therefore keep them alive. If you strongly believe in anything I want you to make sure it’s at the stays you are looking for one day.
    Pandemic's Box Scholarship
    The Pandemic affected my life positively because it lead me to being back with my family. It was also positive because it showed the importance of safety against the virus such as masking up and keeping a distance. Something about the pandemic is that it made me stronger in my education. I was always doubtful about online education and always took in person classes. The pandemic showed me that online education isn’t so bad as long as you dedicate yourself to it. Just like it affected me positively it also affected me negatively because my family has struggled with finances a lot. During the main pandemic we were all using the unemployment for a while until we were able to work again. We learned to basically live with it and spend more time with each other than usual otherwise we would just be desperate the entire time until the pandemic ended.
    Bold Mental Health Awareness Scholarship
    I struggle with mental health Epilepsy and Autism and I would say that being motivational is key to helping us withstand our conditions. For the most part I always think about myself last. That’s always because I first think about what I need to do for school or work or about helping others. Well your job is to reverse that train of thought by letting us know why we are important enough to think about ourselves first. If there’s nobody to motivate us then our conditions will be worsening as time goes on. Even if you don’t suffer with a mental condition a motivation is always helpful. Motivations are always there to guide you throughout the right path of life no matter what that is. All it takes is a little extra support from someone like you who really cares about success. The education will come in progress if you supported the student as much as you could. What I’m saying is don’t talk negatively to us as a lot of us already talk negatively mentally. Those of us that have mental conditions many times get lower grades in school than the parents want. We do the best we can which often times requires using tutoring. The tutor helps us out because not only is it helping with the class but it’s motivating us more about the class than we were before. Therefore when you have a condition positive reinforcements are highly recommended in order for things to go down the right path of life. From there hopefully a success story is closer than you thought possible.
    Lillie Award
    I’m a STEM student in Animal Biology and I find that my studies will be useful for many years. It’s helpful to anyone in the community who has animals because with my knowledge and experience I will be able to improve the lives of animals. Animals deserve to be considered just as much as we do but not everyone cares for them the same way. If you believe in animals I highly encourage that you support me because this will go a long way regardless where in the country or the world I end up in the future. The reason I’m in Animal Biology is that I’m truly passionate about them. I would do anything in my power to keep animals alive and healthy no matter what the challenge brings. Just like us animals have feelings and suffer through medical conditions. They need our support all the way through especially because unlike us they can’t get through them alone. If you really care you need to be their support until they die because they really need you. I find that Animal Biology is special because you really need to show love, passion, and dedication to the animals. When you support animals you are supporting the planet’s original beings and I find that nothing can be better than that. For me there is no reason why you should waste yourself on something that has meaning now that won’t have meaning later when you can be dedicated to something that will have meaning always for years to come. Animal Biology and all sciences are there you to get you prepared for the new challenges and discoveries that will come as time goes on. If you aren’t willing to accept anything new then the sciences aren’t for you because it’s a field that is always changing and adapting to how things are present day. I would never choose another career path because here I never feel like I’m working. Instead I feel like I’m helping to make a difference and it’s well worth it. What’s the reason to go home rejecting what you did when you can go home being proud of your accomplishments always? I don’t see any be strong enough to take that decision that you won’t forget later in life and the world will thank you for what you did. If you are with me please consider me and without any doubts I will help our animals in the future.
    I Am Third Scholarship
    My goal in education is to pursue the highest degree possible in the Animal Field. I plan to use this to become a veterinarian or something in the field. I find that it would help the world by expanding how many surviving animals there are as opposed to how many suffering animals. Not many people want to support students studying for animals however we have a purpose in life. We indeed will be there to ensure nothing goes wrong with your beloved animals while we are with them. Studying for animals is harder than studying for humans because every species is different. Humans mainly care about themselves before they care about animals. It’s also harder because with animals we need to do a lot of guess work because animals don’t communicate the same way that humans do. If you understand the struggles that we must go through to keep animals living normally please nominate me. I truly believe that animals should be treated no different than you would treat any other loved one however many people abuse them and it’s wrong. Basically animals are my future because I’m passionate about them and I want to establish a career with them. You are missing out if you think all animals are the same when indeed they aren’t. If they were the same then you can have a wolf as a pet not necessarily a dog because of your theory that there are no unique characteristics when in fact there are. Since all animals are different we learn from each one something always no matter what it might be. Your child perhaps learned how to swim from a dolphin while the military perhaps learned how to join forces from ants or bees therefore animals despite not going to school and not communicating like us they still are very helpful in various unique ways. I hope I encouraged you if not go help those big shots out there. As a reminder I am doing my education to help animals. They need always need our attention if you want them to live the lives they deserve. Animals are the most forgiving as they always care for you no matter what as long as you have been there on a regular basis. If you believe they need help before any others please nominate me so I can be closer to my goal of helping them forever.

    I’m a first generation American because my parents and previous are from Dominican Republic. I find when you are first to be American it’s an extraordinary feeling. Everybody else had a hard time to become a citizen through paperwork and you are the first group in the family to be American naturally through birth. Being first also implies that you still have cultural influences from the family. Dominican Republic is great because of the music and cuisine however if it wasn’t for my family I would’ve never even thought about that country. The main thing with growing up as the first to be American is that it’s not all about one thing. Therefore I know Spanish because it’s the family language and I know English because it’s the language here in America. Oh my god my family is two different religions Catholics on my mom’s side and JW on my Dad’s side. I have learned that adaptation is useful on all aspects of life. Things won’t always go to our expectations and we must be prepared for them. I however enjoy being American because the education and the healthcare here and in Dominican Republic don’t compare with each other at all. US is way more advanced in many aspects starting with the technology therefore once in America you don’t want to move back. I personally would move just about anywhere as long as it’s here but I’m not going back to Dominican Republic. I find that coming from two families that are different shaped me. It allowed me to go forth in my education and become my own person. I have made my own decision as to what career path I want to take. Just because more than one family member is an office worker doesn’t mean I need to be stuck in an office as well. I became my own person doing a life of my own to achieve something I’m truly passionate about and nothing is better than that.
    "Your Success" Youssef Scholarship
    I want to continue my college education because my major means a lot to me. I love doing extra curriculars but I never had the time for them because I been very busy with my major It's own. I find higher education to be an important tool to succeed in many career paths as a lot require Bachelor or higher. This way they actually see that you are ready to perform despite upcoming challenges that the major might bring. There is no reason to back down when you truly are able to achieve whatever your passion is until the greatest extent of your journey because nobody is there to tell you differently. My Major is Animal Biology and I am passionate about it because I find that there is nothing in the world that compares to helping animals live longer. When you are right there for animals I find that it's the most amazing thing ever because you gave them an opportunity that they otherwise wouldn't have. Basically animals are my life priority amongst everything because I don't like the fact that they are misunderstood when each one is simply unique to their species. Life is precious and amazing because just when you think it's fading on you it can come back to normal. Therefore nothing is like being with the precious moments of life right therein front of you. Not everyone realizes each animal has it's own purpose in life and therefore it deserves protection just like you do. I want you to think about everything you consume that comes from an animal. If that animal wasn’t alive you wouldn’t have access to that. You need to protect animals as much as possible if you want that to still be around in the future. We need to make sure every animal is treated the same way that you want to be treated otherwise they will all die off sooner than you think. Being successful in what you love is the best thing that could be asked for. There is no reason to be successful and reject it later. Make yourself proud by being successful in what you are actually interested in not what others want for you. You are the one that is going to work not them therefore ignore what's being said and go do it. Do something that makes you proud not something that you will reject. You don't want to say I'm going to work when you aren’t going to your little job from when you first started. You want to be able to say I'm going to my life or I'm going to my passion or I'm going to my dream because it shows you really care for what you are doing and that with no doubts you want to remain in the same field of work no matter what the outcome is.
    Dr. Samuel Attoh Legacy Scholarship
    As a STEM student in Animal Biology I find a real legacy is something in the past that won’t be forgotten. Animal Biology is hard to forget because you are there to save the lives of Animals. A good inspiration for Animal Biology is Dr.Pol because he is always there for his patients regardless if it's a surgery, a birth, or a castration. He shows us that animal lives matter. I am in this major because I totally agree with him. For me Animals are meant to protect and not allow to die off like they are lesser beings. I grew up with animals for many years. I wanted that to be my major because I find it special when you are part of the improvement of the animal's journey. Animals are often misunderstood in society however I always stepped forward for them. I believe that we can help more animals if you nominate me because I am truly passionate about them. We need to support each other in order to make sure that animals get saved as there are too many animals to work with alone. I broke my family cycle as everyone works in something typical such as an office, a school, other typical fields. Being different shows who you really are. By being different I'm showing I'm going towards something I find matters for me. There is no reason why I should major in something typical like my family when what I care for is the animals. When I graduate I want to show why I’m achieving a degree within this major in the first place. When you study something different the reality is people don't always understand why you are doing it. The thing is to prove that the studies were worthwhile after graduation. You need to develop yourself in a way that they find that they were wrong about you. I'm showing my passion for my major by volunteering with animals. From here I want to get an actual job with animals no matter what the challenge brings. My love for animals doesn't compare with anything. If I have a lover it's because she is an animal lover as well. Animals are the greatest gift because that's how we get diversity. For me the world would be boring with only humans. If you think about it all of us are the same minus a few variations. Also animals are there for us always while us humans aren’t. No human is there for you at all hours because we all have something going on however animals are always there to give you attention when you need it. There is a reason why in the market for example cow’s milk is sold not human milk. We are here to create a bond with animals however we always forget about them. Let's remember animals and actually keep them alive for as long as possible to keep them healthy as they should be for many years. If you are with me you understand that we should find something to help animals survive. We need to join forces if we are going to find a cure for animals for all the things that currently suffer and anything in the future to come. As you know this is nothing to be handled alone. Please don't nominate if you are not going to give me your help. This does not look like a serious matter but it is. Thank you for your time everyone I really hope you consider going over this thoroughly together so that animals will be saved not harmed.
    Abran Arreola Latinx Scholarship
    The pandemic was the biggest game changer for me. I always am a non stop person that is about finishing what was started. For me there are no excuses why to not do something. The Pandemic changed my views because sometimes a break is absolutely needed in order to continue forward. It made me realize that we don't know how much of a break we actually need but we still need one so that we won't get overwhelmed with too much at the same time. The fact that it came had us learn a lot. Thanks to the Pandemic we all learned how to do our jobs and school work online. I have always been about going face to face because I didn't understand online. My family lost funds during the pandemic and they still got up to work again. Life taught me to not be a quitter and I haven't been. I find it's always great to continue forward because you don't know what might be waiting for you in the end. My family has been on my side all throughout life. I need this scholarship now because we are struggling financially for school. Don't nominate me because I'm begging, nominate me because you love my go getter attitude. About my go getter attitude I always make sure that both at school and at work everything gets done no matter what the challenge brings. You would’ve thought that my pandemic stress caused me to get failing grades. Instead I didn't get below a C because I like to work hard despite the situation I’m faced with. I’m a latino with strong ambition to strive forward. Many latin nations they lack motivation. Otherwise if they didn't there would be less poverty because more people would be working. I believe higher education can help latinos and others be successful in the long run. Honestly many career paths require higher education. I find that excuses just build up upon themselves to never achieve your goals.You need to pursue your education as soon as you get an opportunity otherwise time will fade on you with obstacles on the way. Those obstacles must be faced if you really want achievement in your life. Life doesn't care about your status or where you come from. Life is about who you are to be and whether or not you have a purpose. If you don't have a purposeful life then you more likely than not find that something is missing. Don't regret yourself and make an effort to finish whatever you started. There is a reason why you started it in the first place no matter what that is. Therefore unless you have a valid reason don't be afraid to continue because you will give your life a bigger meaning to your community and the world when they know who you truly are. I will give my life meaning as I’m studying Animal Biology. I find that animals are just as important as we are and should be protected. I will go into the Veterinary field or something similar because I love seeing the survival of animals. I find that it's precious when you were there to help animals continue the journey to a fabulous life that they couldn't have on their own. If you are interested in animals please nominate me as it’s very special when animals are indeed safe rather than in danger. We talk about hunters too often and never give credit to those of us who are trying to protect. As you can tell I’m selfless because I put myself last always.
