My name is Obeneson Veillard I am a student at Hillsborough Community College completing a associatie's degree in engineering and planning on transfering to a four-year college or university. Nothing is more important to me than ending racial inequality and discrimination in America, as I do not want my younger siblings to face the discrimination Black people continue to face in present society. I believe everyone should be treated equal because we all are humans we should be with each other not against each other. I believe I deserve to be selected for one of your foundation's scholarships because I commit myself take advantage of this opportunity that the scholarships will provide for me. Besides, I am a hardworking student who is focused and driven in my school to acheive success. I believe education is the key to success, I want to seize this opportunity and not let it slip out of my hands. I have always been a respectable person in my school, in my high school year's I was motivated to get my work done and have teachers help me decide the career that I want to do when I graduate from High School. I was always driven to acheive my goal which is to become a construction trade worker because I like a hands on job where I can build stuff that's the type of career that I have always dreamed of doing after High School. I really want to win this Scholarship because I want to use it for my college education so that I can reach my goal which is to become a construction trade worker. Throughout my high school years I thought that I was a failure and I will never acheieve my dream so what's the point of trying so I just gave up on myself but then my teacher's and lots of people started motivating me to not quit you got this we believe in you are going to get through this we will keep on motivating you because we want you to acheive your dream career. I was so Happy and full of joy from that so I listened to them and started being more focus and working really hard to acheive my career.
