✩°｡⋆˚ I am a resilient, creative, adaptable, and hopeful young professional attending graduate school in mathematics. I am the child of immigrants, a female student pursuing a career at the intersection of technology and entertainment. My goal is to improve the mental well-being of children and young adults through data-driven policy and business leadership. I am applying for scholarships to empower myself so that I can empower others. As students in the United States, we are taught to work hard and to be independent, but this should not mean taking on extra burdens such as debt. My background led me to overwork and overextend, thinking that it was normal to struggle. While it allowed me to build resilience, it also led to difficult life experiences and stress at a young age. As a student now, I dare to consider myself special, make efforts to free up my time, and contribute more passionately to the communities around me. I am actively seeking scholarships to pay for my graduate tuition, as well as room and board. Receiving scholarships would allow me to take better care of myself and my parents, who have been a large part of my academic journey. ˚⋆｡°✩
