    My creation is a device called "Eco-Tracker," which aims to solve the problem of environmental degradation caused by plastic waste. Plastic waste is a significant environmental issue that affects marine life, ecosystems, and human health. With the rapid increase in plastic consumption and the lack of proper waste management, plastic pollution has become a critical global concern. My plan to solve this problem is to create Eco-Tracker, a device that can track the amount of plastic waste produced by individuals, households, and businesses. The device will be equipped with sensors that can detect and measure the amount of plastic waste generated. The data collected by the device will be transmitted to a central database, which will store the information and analyze it to determine patterns and trends. The information will then be used to develop and implement effective waste management strategies. The first step in creating Eco-Tracker is to conduct extensive research on the latest technologies and trends in the field of waste management. This research will help us determine the best sensors to use and the most appropriate data analysis tools. The research will also help us understand the challenges that we may face while developing the device and how to overcome them. Once the research has been completed, we will design and develop a prototype of the device.

We will also conduct a series of trials to evaluate the performance of the device and to identify any areas for improvement. The next step will be to launch Eco-Tracker in the market. We will target households and businesses in the developed world, where the use of plastic is highest. We will also target communities and countries that are actively working to reduce their plastic waste. The device will be offered at a reasonable price, and a portion of the sales revenue will be used to support waste management initiatives in developing countries. To market Eco-Tracker, we will create a strong online presence and launch an extensive marketing campaign. We will also collaborate with environmental organizations and waste management companies to promote the device and its benefits. Additionally, we will conduct awareness-raising campaigns to educate people about the importance of reducing plastic waste and the impact of plastic pollution on the environment. To ensure that Eco-Tracker is accessible to everyone, we will offer the device in different languages and provide technical support in multiple languages. We will also offer training and support to individuals and organizations to help them use the device effectively and efficiently. Finally, we will continuously monitor and evaluate the impact of Eco-Tracker on reducing plastic waste. We will collect feedback from users and use this feedback to make improvements to the device and its features. We will also work with waste management companies and environmental organizations to develop and implement effective waste management strategies that are based on the data collected by the device. In conclusion, Eco-Tracker is a device that has the potential to solve the problem of environmental degradation caused by plastic waste. With the help of Eco-Tracker, individuals, households, and businesses can track their plastic waste and work towards reducing it. The device will also help to raise awareness about the impact of plastic pollution on the environment and promote the development of effective waste management strategies.

    I have always been passionate about helping others and creating a safer and more inclusive atmosphere for myself and those around me. This drive to make a positive impact on the world has led me to get involved in various initiatives and organizations over the years, but my experience with Luv Michael has been particularly meaningful and impactful. Luv Michael is a non-profit organization that provides employment opportunities and support to individuals with autism. I first learned about this organization through a family friend and was immediately drawn to their mission. I was particularly struck by the fact that many individuals with autism struggle to find employment and often face significant barriers to inclusion and success in the workforce. I knew that I wanted to do my part to help, so I reached out to the organization to see how I could get involved. I was introduced to my role as a volunteer who would help spread awareness about Luv Michael and encourage others to donate to the organization. This involved reaching out to my family, friends, and wider network of acquaintances to educate them about autism and the important work that Luv Michael was doing. I was nervous at first, but as I started to engage with people, I realized that many of them were open-minded and eager to learn more about this important cause. One of the most impactful experiences I had was when I reached out to a friend who had a close family member with autism. They had never heard of Luv Michael before, but once they learned about the organization and its mission, they were eager to get involved. They made a generous donation, and I could see the pride and happiness in their eyes knowing that they were making a difference in someone else's life. Another powerful experience was when I reached out to a school teacher who was looking for ways to make her classroom more inclusive and supportive of all students, including those with autism. I shared with her some of the resources and information that I had learned through my involvement with Luv Michael, and she was grateful for the information.

I also try to limit my exposure to screens before bed, as this can interfere with the quality of my sleep. In addition to these changes, I have also made an effort to reduce stress in my life. I practice yoga and meditation regularly, which helps me to relax and feel more balanced. I have also learned the importance of taking time for myself and engaging in activities that bring me joy and fulfillment. One of the most significant changes I have made to my lifestyle is to adopt a more positive and mindful approach to food.

    Big Picture Scholarship
    The movie The Wolf of Wall Street had a great impact on my life because it gave me an inside look into the high-stakes world of Wall Street and the cutthroat mentality that exists within it. The film, based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who became one of the most notorious fraudsters in history, was a stark reminder of the dangers of greed and the corrupting influence of power. As I watched the movie, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the opulent lifestyle that Belfort and his colleagues led. The flashy cars, the luxurious homes, the endless parties - it all seemed so glamorous and exciting. But as the story progressed, I began to see the darker side of this world. I saw how Belfort and his associates were willing to do anything to make a quick buck, even if it meant lying, cheating, and stealing from innocent people. They were willing to manipulate and deceive their clients, exploiting their trust and taking advantage of their financial vulnerability. The Wolf of Wall Street showed me how easy it is for people to get caught up in the allure of wealth and power, and how easily they can lose sight of their moral compass. The movie also shed light on the brutal nature of Wall Street. The pressure to make sales and meet quotas was intense and the competition between brokers was fierce. It was a harsh reminder of the cutthroat mentality that exists within the world of finance, where the bottom line is all that matters and the only thing that counts is how much money you can make. It was a stark contrast to the kind of work ethic and principles I have always believed in. It made me realize that the pursuit of wealth and power can be all-consuming and ultimately destructive, and that true success and happiness come from living a life of integrity and compassion. The Wolf of Wall Street also depicts the impact of such actions on the people around the main character. It was a painful reminder of how Belfort's actions had destroyed the lives of so many people, including his own family and friends. It made me understand how easy it is to get caught up in the whirlwind of greed and ambition, and how important it is to be mindful of the people around us. The film also shows the impact of such actions on the larger society, and the economic and social cost of such greed and corruption. It shows how the actions of a few individuals can have far-reaching effects on the community and the nation as a whole. The Wolf of Wall Street had a profound impact on me because it made me question my values and priorities. It made me realize that the pursuit of wealth and power can be all-consuming and ultimately destructive, and that true success and happiness come from living a life of integrity and compassion. It was a powerful reminder that in a world where greed and corruption are all too common, it's important to always stay true to ourselves and to the people we care about. It has made me more aware of my actions and the impact it has on others, and more mindful of my surroundings and society as a whole. It has made me more committed to living an ethical and responsible life.

    Being an American to me means having the freedom to express myself, the opportunity to pursue my dreams, and the ability to live in a diverse and inclusive society. It also means acknowledging and working to address the systemic injustices and inequalities that have plagued our country throughout its history. I am proud to be an American, and I will continue to work towards making our country a better place for all. One of the core values of America is the protection of individual rights and freedoms, as outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This includes the freedom of speech, religion, and press, as well as the right to a fair trial and protection from unreasonable search and seizure. As an American, I can speak my mind and share my opinions without fear of censorship or persecution. However, I also understand that these rights and freedoms do not always extend to all Americans and it is my responsibility to use my voice to advocate for those who may not have the same rights and freedoms as I do. Another aspect of being American that is important to me is the opportunity for upward mobility and success through hard work and determination. America is often referred to as the "land of opportunity," and I believe that this statement holds. Through education, training, and hard work, I can achieve my goals and create a better life for myself and my family. However, I also recognize that not everyone has access to the same opportunities and resources. I believe that as an American, it is my responsibility to work towards creating a more equitable and just society where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. Additionally, as an American, I am proud to live in a country that values diversity and inclusivity. America is a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds, and I believe that this diversity makes our country stronger. By embracing and celebrating our differences, we can learn from one another and create a more just and equitable society. However, I also recognize that America has a history of discrimination and racism, and it is important to acknowledge and work to address these issues to create a truly inclusive society. Furthermore, being an American also means being a responsible global citizen. America has a long history of being a leader on the global stage and Americans need to be aware of and engaged with international issues. This means being informed about foreign policy, and understanding the impact of American actions and decisions on the rest of the world. Additionally, it means recognizing the importance of multilateral cooperation and working towards common goals with other countries. In conclusion, being an American to me means having the freedom to express myself, the opportunity to pursue my dreams, and the ability to live in a diverse and inclusive society.

    Daily choices can have a significant impact on the environment. From the food we eat to the products we use and the way we get around, our actions can contribute to pollution, deforestation, and climate change. To live sustainably, it is important to be mindful of the impact of our choices and make changes where possible. One of the most significant ways that our daily choices impact the environment is through the food we eat. The industrial agriculture system is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. Eating a plant-based diet or reducing meat consumption can reduce the environmental impact of our food choices. Supporting local and organic farmers can also help to minimize the environmental impact of our food. Another important consideration is the products we use. Many consumer goods, such as electronics and clothing, are produced using harmful chemicals and manufactured in ways that pollute the environment. Choosing products made from sustainable materials and produced using environmentally-friendly methods can help to reduce the impact of our consumer choices. Additionally, buying second-hand items or repairing and repurposing existing items can also help to minimize waste. Transportation is another area where our daily choices can have a significant impact on the environment. Cars and trucks are major source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Walking, biking, or using public transportation can reduce the environmental impact of our transportation choices. Carpooling or using electric or hybrid vehicles can also help to minimize the environmental impact of our transportation choices. One of the ways to strive to live sustainably is by being mindful of the impact of our choices and making changes where possible. This could be as simple as switching to energy-efficient light bulbs or taking shorter showers to conserve water. It could also involve making more significant changes, such as installing solar panels or upgrading to a more energy-efficient home. Another way to live sustainably is by supporting organizations and businesses that prioritize environmental responsibility. This could include supporting local farmers and food producers, choosing products made from sustainable materials and produced using environmentally-friendly methods, and supporting renewable energy sources.

    Immigrating to a new country at a young age can be a challenging and overwhelming experience, and for me, it was no exception. I was only eight years old when my family and I left Egypt for the United States. We were leaving behind a familiar way of life, a culture and language we knew and loved, and a community of friends and relatives. The initial adjustment was difficult. I struggled to learn English and make friends at school. I felt out of place and alone. But, I didn't let that discourage me. I knew that the only way to overcome this challenge was to work hard and persevere. I took extra English classes, watched English-language movies and TV shows, and practiced speaking with native speakers whenever I could. As time went on, I saw progress. I was able to communicate better and make friends. I felt more comfortable and confident in my new surroundings. But, the challenges didn't end there. My family and I struggled financially and we had a hard time finding jobs. My parents had to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. Despite these difficulties, I never gave up. I knew that this was a temporary setback and that things would get better with time. I took on odd jobs to help my family financially and I focused on my studies. I knew that a good education would be my ticket to a better future. I also made sure to stay connected to my roots and culture. I joined the Arabic club at school, and I participated in cultural events and festivals. This helped me to feel less homesick and gave me a sense of belonging. As I look back on my experience of immigrating to the United States, I realize that it has been both challenging and rewarding. I've faced a lot of obstacles, but I've also grown and learned so much. I've learned that with hard work and determination, anything is possible. I've learned that it's important to never give up, even when things seem impossible. I've learned that it's important to stay true to yourself and your culture, even when you're in a new and unfamiliar place. Most importantly, I've learned that setbacks and failures are a normal part of life and that it's how we handle them that defines us. I am proud of myself for how far I've come and I know that I will continue to go above and beyond to overcome any challenges that come my way. Now as a senior in high school, I have a better perspective and clearer vision for my future, I will be able to leverage all the skills and knowledge I've gained from this experience to be successful in my future endeavors.

    My experience with Luv Michael was truly transformative.

Through this process, I gained a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with autism and their families and the critical importance of advocacy and support. One of the most striking things I learned was the extent of the misconceptions and lack of understanding that still exist around autism. Many of the people I spoke with were surprised to learn about the prevalence of autism and the wide range of abilities and experiences within the autism spectrum. By educating my network, I was able to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding autism and raise awareness about the needs of individuals with autism and their families. This experience highlighted the importance of ongoing education and awareness-raising efforts to promote understanding and acceptance of autism. Working with Luv Michael also gave me a deeper appreciation for the importance of early intervention and support. I learned about the many benefits of early diagnosis and intervention, such as improved communication and social skills, and the importance of providing a safe and inclusive environment for individuals with autism. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a significant difference in the lives of individuals with autism and their families, and society must prioritize and invest in these efforts. Furthermore, the organization taught me about the importance of self-advocacy, and the role of individuals with autism and their families in shaping their futures.

    Swimming has had a profound impact on my life in many positive ways, but perhaps the most significant benefit has been the improvement of my physical health. When I first began swimming, I was not in the best shape. I was overweight and had low energy levels. I knew that I needed to make a change in my life, and I decided to take up swimming as a way to improve my health. The results were astounding. First and foremost, swimming is a full-body workout. It requires the use of all major muscle groups, making it an efficient way to burn calories and lose weight. As I continued to swim regularly, I noticed a significant reduction in my body fat and an increase in muscle tone. In addition to weight loss, swimming also improved my cardiovascular fitness. The constant movement and effort required to swim strengthen the heart and lungs, which in turn improves overall cardiovascular health. This is particularly important as it can decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. But swimming not only has physical health benefits, but it also helps in mental health. Swimming is known to be a great stress reliever. The rhythmic movement of the strokes and the feeling of the water on my skin helped to relax my mind and body. This made it easier for me to manage stress and anxiety, which also helped me to sleep better at night. Additionally, swimming is a great way to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. Swimming also has a positive impact on my overall well-being. Not only did it improve my physical health, but it also helped me to develop a sense of discipline and dedication. The discipline required to maintain a regular swimming schedule helped me to develop better time management skills, which in turn helped me to be more productive in other areas of my life. Furthermore, swimming is a great way to improve my self-confidence. As I began to see the physical and mental benefits of swimming, I felt a renewed sense of self-worth. I was proud of my accomplishments, and this helped to boost my confidence in other areas of my life as well. Moreover, swimming is a low-impact exercise, making it an ideal choice for people with joint pain or injuries. It's also a great way to cross-train for other sports, as it helps to improve endurance, balance and coordination. And if you're looking for a fun way to stay active, swimming is a perfect choice, as it's a great way to socialize and enjoy the company of others. In conclusion, swimming has had a profound impact on my life in many positive ways. It has helped me to improve my physical health, mental health, overall well-being, self-confidence and joint health. I am incredibly grateful for the benefits that swimming has brought to my life, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their health and overall well-being. Swimming is not just a physical activity, but it's also a mental and social one, and it's something that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.

    I am deeply passionate about using my time and resources to make a positive impact on marginalized and underserved communities. One self-initiated project that I have been particularly proud to be a part of is my volunteer work with Luv Michael, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals with autism and their families. As a volunteer with Luv Michael, my primary role was to reach out to my network of family and friends to educate them about autism and the important work that the organization is doing. This involved sending personal text messages, making phone calls, and sharing information on social media.

For example, the organization offers a range of educational and therapeutic programs, as well as support groups and resources for parents. One of the most rewarding aspects of this project was seeing the response from my family and friends. Many of them were unaware of the challenges that individuals with autism and their families face, and they were grateful to have the opportunity to learn more and to support such an important cause. I was also heartened by the generous donations that I was able to secure through my outreach efforts, which will go a long way in helping Luv Michael continue its important work.

    Mark Caldwell Memorial STEM/STEAM Scholarship
    Growing up in Egypt, I always knew that I wanted to achieve great things in my life. However, I never could have anticipated the challenges that I would face along the way. When I was a young child, my family made the difficult decision to immigrate to the United States in search of better opportunities. As a child, the biggest obstacle that I faced was the language barrier. I spoke very little English when we first arrived, and it was a struggle to communicate with my classmates and teachers. I remember feeling frustrated and isolated, as I was unable to fully participate in the classroom or make new friends. But I was determined to overcome this challenge and excel in my studies. I began by seeking out every opportunity to practice my English. I joined an English language learning program after school, and I spent hours at home working on my vocabulary and grammar. I also made an effort to speak English as much as possible, even if it meant making mistakes or sounding awkward. As I continued to work hard, I began to see progress in my language skills. My confidence grew, and I started to feel more comfortable participating in class and making conversations with my peers. But my journey to academic success wasn't just about language. I also had to learn how to adapt to a new school system and culture. This meant putting in extra effort to understand the material, seeking help from teachers and tutors when I needed it, and staying organized and on top of my assignments. In addition to my studies, I also took on extra-curricular activities, such as joining the school's debate team and volunteering at a local hospital. These experiences helped me to develop important skills such as public speaking, teamwork, and problem-solving. They also allowed me to meet new people and make connections within my community. Despite the many challenges that I faced, I never gave up on my dreams. I knew that with hard work and determination, I could achieve anything that I set my mind to. And as I near the end of my high school career, I am proud to say that my efforts have paid off. I have earned good grades, gained acceptance to a prestigious university, and built a strong foundation for my future. Looking back, I am grateful for the struggles that I faced during my immigration journey. They have taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, resilience, and the power of hard work. I know that these lessons will serve me well as I embark on the next phase of my life and continue to pursue my dreams.
    Catherine (Kay) Williams Memorial Arts Scholarship
    My interpretation behind this art piece was to portray colors to represent me: optimism (orange), growth (turquoise), anger (red), confidence (blue), creativity (purple), being distant (white), and strength (black). In my piece, I used the elements and principles of design to visually represent a range of emotions and states of being. I used the color orange to represent optimism, incorporating it through the use of vibrant and bold shades. The color turquoise represents growth and I pair it with other colors to create a visually striking and dynamic image that conveys the excitement and energy of growth. Red represents anger, and I used a bold and intense hue to convey its raw power. Blue represents confidence, and I repeated its use throughout the piece to convey its steadfastness. Purple represents creativity, and I used it sparingly to add depth and complexity to the composition. White represents distance, and I used it to create negative space and a sense of isolation. Black represents strength, and I used it strategically to add weight and stability to the piece. Through my use of the elements and principles of design, I was able to effectively represent a range of emotions and states of being in my piece. Overall, I used color to convey my energetic and vibrant nature, incorporating bold and striking shades throughout the composition. I also utilized the principle of contrast to reflect the duality and complexity of my personality, pairing vibrant colors with more subdued hues. The use of randomness reflects a sense of spontaneity and unpredictability and the incorporation of geometric shapes and clean lines reflects my practical and logical side. In my piece, I added random shapes and used the random placement of colors to create a sense of spontaneity and unpredictability. I believe that this was the most successful aspect of the composition. The use of random shapes and colors added a sense of excitement and tension to the piece, challenging the viewer's expectations and creating unexpected visual elements. Additionally, the use of randomness reflected the chaos and complexity of the world and allowed me to break away from traditional patterns and structures to create a more organic and dynamic visual experience. Overall, the addition of random shapes and colors added a sense of excitement and unpredictability to my piece. In my piece, I believe that the least successful aspect is the initial impression that viewers will have when they first see it. Some viewers may be confused by the use of random shapes and colors, and may not immediately understand the intention behind these elements. Additionally, the use of a range of colors and contrasts may be overwhelming for some viewers, and they may not immediately see the connections between the colors and my personality. Overall, I think that the initial impression that viewers have of my piece may be less successful than the deeper understanding that they can gain through further engagement with the work.

    Volunteering has always been a passion of mine, and it's something that I've always felt drawn to. I think it's important to give back to the community and to help those who are less fortunate, and volunteering has allowed me to do just that. Growing up, I always had a heart for service and a desire to make a difference in the world. But it wasn't until I started volunteering regularly that I truly began to understand the impact that I could have on others. Through my volunteering experiences, I've learned that even the smallest act of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's life. Whether it's helping to serve meals at a soup kitchen, reading to children at a local library, or simply lending a listening ear to someone who needs it, every little bit counts. But volunteering has also changed my mindset in a much deeper way. It's helped me to see the world in a different light and to understand that we are all connected. It's easy to get caught up in our own lives and our problems, but volunteering has reminded me that there are so many people out there who are struggling and in need of support. I've learned that it's important to be there for one another, to lift each other, and to do what we can to make a positive impact. This has given me a greater sense of purpose and has helped me to become a more empathetic and compassionate person. But as much as I love volunteering and the sense of fulfillment it brings me, I also have a very practical reason for needing this scholarship. I come from a low-income family and have always had to work hard to make ends meet. I've held down multiple jobs while pursuing my education, but it's still been a struggle to afford the rising costs of tuition and other expenses. Receiving this scholarship would not only help me to alleviate some of this financial burden, but it would also allow me to focus more fully on my studies and pursue my dreams without having to worry about how I'm going to pay for them. I am determined to succeed and to make the most of every opportunity that comes my way, and I believe that this scholarship can help me to do just that. It would not only be a financial help, but it would also be a vote of confidence and a reminder that there are people who believe in me and my potential. In conclusion, volunteering has had a profound impact on my mindset and has taught me the importance of compassion and service. It has also given me a greater sense of purpose and has helped me to understand the value of giving back. And while I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to volunteer and to make a difference in the world, I also have a very real and pressing need for this scholarship to achieve my educational and career goals. I am confident that with this support, I will be able to make the most of my opportunities and make a positive impact on the world in my way.
    Freddie L Brown Sr. Scholarship
    Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a king named Frederick. King Frederick was known throughout the kingdom as a fair and just ruler, but he had one major flaw: he was incredibly forgetful. One day, the king received a letter from the neighboring kingdom of Ruritania, inviting him to attend a royal ball in honor of the prince's birthday. The king was thrilled at the prospect of attending such a grand event, but as he was reading the letter, he completely forgot about it. Fortunately, his trusty advisor, Sir Simon, was there to remind him. "Your majesty, the letter from Ruritania," Sir Simon said, pointing to the letter in the king's hand. "Oh, yes, the letter from Ruritania," the king said, suddenly remembering. "I completely forgot about it. We must make preparations for the journey at once." So the king and Sir Simon set out for Ruritania, accompanied by a large entourage of knights and courtiers. Along the way, they encountered all sorts of obstacles, from a grumpy troll who demanded payment for crossing his bridge, to a fierce dragon who guarded a magical spring. But the king and his companions were not deterred. Using their wit and bravery, they overcame each challenge and finally arrived at the royal palace in Ruritania. At the ball, the king danced with the prince's beautiful sister, and the two of them hit it off immediately. They laughed and joked and had a wonderful time, and the king was smitten. But as the night wore on, the king began to feel a sense of déjà vu. He had been to this ball before, he was sure of it. And then it hit him: he had attended the exact same ball, with the exact same princess, one year ago. Feeling embarrassed and foolish, the king quickly excused himself and fled the ball. Sir Simon, who had been watching from the sidelines, followed after him. "Your majesty, what's wrong?" Sir Simon asked, catching up to the king. "I forgot," the king muttered, hanging his head in shame. "I completely forgot that I had already attended this ball last year." Sir Simon chuckled. "Your majesty, you are truly one of a kind," he said. "But don't worry, I'm sure the princess will forgive you. After all, who could resist the charms of a forgetful king?" But the king was not so sure. He was haunted by the thought that he had made a fool of himself in front of the princess, and he was determined to make it right. So he decided to journey back to Ruritania and apologize in person. The journey was long and difficult, but the king was determined. He and Sir Simon faced even greater challenges on the way, including a treacherous swamp and a tribe of hostile goblins. But they persevered, and eventually, they reached the royal palace once again. The princess was delighted to see the king, and she forgave him immediately. She was touched by his apology and his determination to make things right, and she knew that she had found a true friend in the forgetful king. And with that, the king and Sir Simon returned to their kingdom, where they lived happily ever after. The end.
    Ruthie Brown Scholarship
    As a high school senior who is planning to go to college, I am very aware of the potential for student loan debt and the need to address it effectively. In this essay, I will discuss my plan for addressing my future student loan debt, including steps I will take to minimize the amount I borrow and strategies I will use to pay off my loans efficiently once I graduate. First and foremost, I plan to minimize the amount of student loan debt I take on by being strategic about the college I choose to attend. I will research colleges to find those that offer the best financial aid packages, including grants and scholarships that do not need to be repaid. In addition to minimizing the amount of debt I take on, I plan to be proactive about finding ways to pay for my education without taking on loans. I will look for part-time jobs and internships that offer college credit or stipends, and I will also consider applying for grants and scholarships from organizations outside of my college. By being proactive and taking advantage of these opportunities, I hope to reduce the amount of student loan debt I need to take on. Once I graduate, I plan to make paying off my student loans a priority. I will create a budget that includes a realistic plan for making my loan payments on time each month. I will also consider consolidating my loans, which can potentially lower my monthly payments and make it easier to manage my debt. Additionally, I plan to explore income-driven repayment plans, which are available for federal student loans. These plans base your monthly loan payments on your income and family size and can make your loan payments more manageable. I will also look into public service loan forgiveness, which is a program that forgives the remaining balance on federal student loans for borrowers who work in public service jobs and make their loan payments for a certain number of years. In conclusion, as a high school senior who is planning to go to college, I am aware of the potential for student loan debt and the need to address it effectively. My plan for addressing my future student loan debt includes minimizing the amount I borrow by choosing the right college and being proactive about finding ways to pay for my education without taking on loans. Once I graduate, I will make paying off my student loans a priority and explore options like consolidating my loans and income-driven repayment plans to manage my debt efficiently.
    Collaboration & Diversity in Healthcare Scholarship
    Collaboration and diversity are essential in advancing the healthcare and medical field because they promote the sharing of knowledge and ideas, encourage the inclusion of different perspectives, and foster innovation. In my future work in this field, I plan to apply these values by actively seeking out diverse teams and collaborating with colleagues from different backgrounds and disciplines. One of the key benefits of collaboration and diversity in the healthcare and medical field is that it promotes the sharing of knowledge and ideas. In a collaborative setting, healthcare professionals from different backgrounds and disciplines can come together to share their expertise and insights, which can lead to the development of new and improved treatments and approaches to healthcare. For example, a collaboration between a doctor, a nurse, and a pharmacist can result in a more comprehensive and effective plan of care for a patient. Another benefit of collaboration and diversity is that it encourages the inclusion of different perspectives. In a diverse team, individuals from different backgrounds and with different experiences can bring unique perspectives to the table, which can lead to more creative and effective solutions to healthcare challenges. For example, a diverse team of healthcare professionals may be better equipped to understand and address the healthcare needs of a diverse patient population. Finally, collaboration and diversity can foster innovation in the healthcare and medical field. By bringing together individuals with different perspectives and experiences, a collaborative team can generate new ideas and approaches to healthcare that may not have been considered by a more homogenous team. For example, a diverse team of healthcare professionals may be more likely to identify and pursue novel treatments or technologies that can improve patient outcomes. In my future work in the healthcare and medical field, I plan to apply the values of collaboration and diversity by actively seeking out diverse teams and collaborating with colleagues from different backgrounds and disciplines. I believe that this will not only enhance the quality of care that I can provide, but will also allow me to learn and grow as a healthcare professional. One experience that I had in working in a collaborative setting that helped me reach a pivotal stage of success was during my internship at a local hospital. As part of my internship, I worked with a team of healthcare professionals from different backgrounds and disciplines, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. By collaborating with my colleagues, I was able to gain a better understanding of the various roles and responsibilities of each member of the healthcare team, and I was able to learn about different treatment approaches and protocols. Working in this collaborative setting also helped me to develop my communication skills and to learn how to effectively communicate with healthcare professionals from different backgrounds and disciplines. This was particularly important because effective communication is critical for providing high-quality care to patients.

In the days, weeks, and months following his passing, I found myself feeling lost and unsure of how to move forward without him. But as time has passed, I have come to realize that his death has caused me to focus on what matters most in my life and has given me a new sense of purpose and drive to achieve my goals. One of the most important things that I have learned from my grandpa's death is the value of relationships. My grandpa was an incredibly loving and supportive person, and he always made time for the people he cared about. Whether it was spending time with his children, and grandchildren, or even just chatting with a neighbor, he always made sure to connect with others and show them how much he cared. In the wake of his passing, I have come to understand just how important these connections are. I have found myself reaching out to my loved ones more often, making an effort to spend time with them, and showing them how much they mean to me. I have also made an effort to be more present at the moment when I am with people, cherishing the time we have together rather than allowing myself to be distracted by other things.

My grandpa was someone who always lived life to the fullest, and he never let anything hold him back from pursuing his passions and goals. In the years leading up to his death, he continued to travel, learn new things, and enjoy life to the fullest. His example has inspired me to take a similar approach to my own life.

My grandpa was a kind and compassionate person who always put others first, and he was deeply loved by those who knew him. As I think about the kind of person I want to be and the impact I want to have on the world, I am reminded of the example he set for me and how he made the world a better place.

    One book that has had a profound impact on my life is "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene. This book is a fascinating exploration of how individuals can gain and maintain power in various social and professional situations. As someone who has always been interested in personal development and the pursuit of success, I was immediately drawn to this book. I found Greene's analysis of the various strategies and tactics that individuals can use to gain and maintain power to be incredibly thought-provoking and illuminating. One of the things that I found most striking about the book was how it challenged me to think more deeply about how I interact with others. Greene's analysis of the various power dynamics that exist in social and professional settings forced me to confront some uncomfortable truths about my behavior and to consider how I could be more strategic and effective in my interactions with others. For example, one of the laws of power that particularly resonated with me was the idea that "appearance is everything." I have always been someone who values authenticity and transparency, and I have often been reluctant to put too much emphasis on appearances. However, after reading this book, I realized that the way we present ourselves to the world can have a significant impact on our ability to gain and maintain power. As a result, I started to pay more attention to the way I present myself, and I began to focus more on my appearance and how I come across to others. Another law of power that had a major impact on me was the idea that "never outshine the master." In the past, I had often been the type of person who was eager to show off my skills and abilities, and I would often go out of my way to demonstrate my knowledge and expertise. However, after reading this book, I realized that this approach can often be counterproductive, as it can make others feel threatened and resentful. As a result, I started to focus more on supporting and elevating others, rather than trying to outshine them. In addition to providing me with valuable insights into how individuals can gain and maintain power, "The 48 Laws of Power" also helped me to develop a more strategic and effective approach to my own personal and professional goals. By applying the principles and strategies outlined in the book, I was able to make more calculated and deliberate decisions about my career and my relationships, which has helped me to achieve greater success and fulfillment. Overall, "The 48 Laws of Power" has had a profound impact on my life. It has challenged me to think more deeply about how I interact with others, and it has provided me with valuable insights into the strategies and tactics that individuals can use to gain and maintain power. It has also helped me to develop a more strategic and effective approach to my own personal and professional goals, and it has contributed to my overall success and fulfillment.

    Asthma has had a significant impact on my life, both in terms of the physical limitations it has imposed on me and the way it has shaped my goals and aspirations for the future. Growing up, I was a very active child. I loved playing sports, going for long hikes, and exploring the outdoors. However, as I got older and my asthma started to become more severe, I found that these activities were increasingly difficult for me to engage in. I would often find myself short of breath, unable to keep up with my friends, and having to take regular breaks to catch my breath. This had a major impact on my self-esteem and confidence. I felt like I was always holding myself back, unable to fully participate in activities that I loved because of my asthma. I was constantly worried about having an asthma attack and the potential consequences of that. It made me feel like I was constantly at a disadvantage, and I often felt frustrated and isolated as a result. As I got older, I started to focus more on my academic studies, finding solace and fulfillment in intellectual pursuits rather than physical ones. This allowed me to excel in school and gave me a sense of accomplishment and self-worth that I had struggled to find in other areas of my life. However, even in my academic pursuits, my asthma continued to be a major factor. I would often miss classes or have to leave early because of asthma attacks, which made it difficult for me to keep up with my coursework. I also had to be very careful about my environment, making sure to avoid triggers like dust, mold, and pollution that could exacerbate my symptoms. Despite these challenges, I have not let my asthma hold me back. I have continued to pursue my goals and aspirations, and I am determined to make the most of my life. In the future, I hope to attend a top university and eventually pursue a career in a field that I am passionate about. I also hope to continue to manage my asthma and maintain good control over my symptoms. This will require me to be proactive about my health and to work closely with my doctor to find the right treatment plan for me. I know that this will not always be easy, but I am committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that my asthma does not limit me in any way. Overall, while asthma has certainly presented challenges in my life, it has also taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, and the importance of being proactive about my health. These lessons will stay with me as I continue to pursue my goals and aspirations in the future.

    One of the biggest difficulties I have faced in my life is overcoming my shyness. Growing up, I was always a very introverted and quiet person. I found it difficult to express my thoughts and feelings, and I often felt like I was on the outside looking in when it came to social situations. This shyness held me back in many ways. In school, I struggled to participate in class discussions and make new friends. In my personal life, I found it difficult to express my feelings and thoughts to my family and friends. I often felt like I was missing out on important opportunities and experiences because of my shyness. However, as I grew older, I began to realize that my shyness was holding me back from achieving my goals and living the life that I wanted. I decided to take action and start working on overcoming my shyness. I began by practicing small talk and starting conversations with people I didn't know. This was difficult at first, but I found that the more I practiced, the easier it became. I also started attending social events and joining clubs and organizations that I was interested in. This allowed me to meet new people and practice my communication skills. In addition to working on my social skills, I also began to focus on my confidence and self-esteem. I started to believe in myself and my abilities, and I learned to accept compliments and praise from others. I also started to set goals for myself and work towards achieving them.

I became more comfortable expressing my thoughts and feelings, and I found that I was able to make new friends and form meaningful relationships.

    Hello, my name is Rogeh Beshay, and I am now a senior at Sumner High School. My family and I came from Egypt to the United States in 2013 because my parents wanted the best possible future for my sister and me. Since I spend more than half of my day surrounded by computers, computer science engineering is my ideal major. I am interested in the cycling community because I believe that cycling is a healthy, sustainable, and enjoyable way to get around. As someone who loves to be outdoors and explore new places, I have found that cycling is a great way to do this, and it has introduced me to many beautiful and interesting places that I might not have discovered otherwise. In addition to the personal benefits of cycling, I also believe that it has the potential to make a positive impact on our society and our environment. For example, cycling can help to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution and can improve public health by promoting physical activity. It can also help to build stronger communities, by encouraging people to come together and support one another in their cycling endeavors. One of my goals in the cycling community is to help to improve the safety and accessibility of our roadways for cyclists. This is important because many of our roads were not designed with cyclists in mind, and as a result, they can be dangerous and intimidating for people who want to ride. To improve the safety and accessibility of our roadways, I plan to work with local and state officials to advocate for changes, such as the creation of dedicated bike lanes, the implementation of traffic calming measures, and the enforcement of traffic laws that protect cyclists. Another goal of mine is to help to promote cycling as a viable and enjoyable transportation option for people of all ages and abilities. This is important because many people are hesitant to try cycling, either because they are afraid of the traffic, or because they don’t think that they are capable of riding a bike. To promote cycling as a transportation option, I plan to work with local organizations to provide education and resources, such as bike safety classes, group rides, and bike maintenance workshops. I also plan to use my own experiences as a cyclist to inspire and encourage others to give cycling a try. In conclusion, I am interested in the cycling community because I believe that cycling has the potential to make a positive impact on our society and our environment. My goals in the cycling community include improving the safety and accessibility of our roadways and promoting cycling as a viable and enjoyable transportation option for people of all ages and abilities. I believe that by working together, we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for cycling.

    We must work to better understand the nature of our universe for several reasons. For one, having a better understanding of the universe can help us to appreciate the incredible complexity and beauty of the world around us. It can also help us to gain a deeper understanding of our place in the universe, and to see ourselves as part of a larger whole. In addition to the personal and philosophical benefits of understanding the nature of the universe, there are also practical benefits. For example, a better understanding of the universe can help us to develop new technologies and make predictions about natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. It can also help us to develop new theories and models that can be used to explain the universe, and to test these theories through observation and experimentation. Many different ideas and concepts can be employed to better understand the nature of our universe. A scientific method is a systematic approach to understanding the world around us. It involves making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing the results to develop theories and models that can explain natural phenomena. The theories of relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, describe the relationship between space, time, and matter. These theories have been tested and verified through extensive experimentation, and have helped to explain many phenomena, such as the behavior of light and the effects of gravity. Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of subatomic particles, such as electrons and photons. It describes the behavior of these particles in terms of probability and has been used to explain many phenomena, such as the behavior of atoms and the nature of light. Cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole, including its origins, evolution, and structure. It involves using mathematical models and observations to understand the large-scale structure of the universe, and to make predictions about its future. Observational astronomy is the study of the universe through direct observation, using telescopes and other instruments. It involves making detailed observations of celestial objects, such as stars, galaxies, and planets, and using these observations to develop theories and models of the universe. To employ these ideas and concepts in our quest to better understand the nature of our universe, we need to approach our studies with curiosity and an open mind. We need to be willing to ask questions, make observations, and test our ideas through experimentation. We also need to be willing to revise our theories and models based on new evidence and to be open to the possibility that we may be wrong. Ultimately, our quest to better understand the nature of our universe is an ongoing journey that will never be fully complete. But by working together, using the scientific method and other tools, we can continue to make progress in our understanding of the universe and to learn more about the incredible world around us.

    As a student, managing your finances well is important for several reasons. For one, being a student often means having limited financial resources, so it’s important to make sure that you are making the most of the money that you do have. Additionally, developing good financial habits as a student can set you up for success in the future, when you may have even more financial responsibilities. One of the key ways to manage your finances as a student is to create a budget and stick to it. This can help you to keep track of your income and expenses, and ensure that you are not overspending. To create a budget, start by listing all of your sources of income, such as part-time jobs, scholarships, and financial aid. Next, list all of your expenses, such as tuition, textbooks, and rent. Subtract your expenses from your income to see how much money you have left over. If you find that you are spending more than you are making, try to cut back on some of your expenses or find ways to increase your income. Another important aspect of managing your finances as a student is to avoid taking on too much debt. While it may be necessary to take out loans to pay for your education, it’s important to only borrow what you need and to be mindful of the interest rates and repayment terms. If you can, try to pay off your loans as quickly as possible to avoid accruing too much interest. In addition to creating a budget and avoiding excessive debt, there are several other steps that you can take to manage your finances well as a student. For example, you can save money by purchasing used textbooks instead of new ones, and by taking advantage of student discounts whenever possible. You can also save money on groceries by meal planning and buying in bulk, and by avoiding eating out too often. Another way to manage your finances well as a student is to start building your credit. This can be helpful in the future when you want to take out a loan for a car or a house, or when you need to apply for a credit card. To build your credit, try to make all of your loan and credit card payments on time, and avoid maxing out your credit card. If you don’t have a credit card, consider getting a secured credit card, which is backed by a deposit that you make upfront. Finally, it’s important to manage your finances as a student because it can help to reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. When you are financially stable, you are better able to focus on your studies and your other goals, rather than worrying about how you are going to pay your bills. By taking control of your finances, you can set yourself up for success in the present and in the future. In conclusion, managing your finances as a student is important because it can help you to make the most of your limited resources, avoid excessive debt, and set yourself up for success in the future. By creating a budget, avoiding excessive debt, and building your credit, you can take control of your finances and improve your overall well-being.

    I often perceive myself as a positive force in society both now and in the future. This perception is shaped by several factors, including the values and beliefs that I hold, the messages I receive from my parents, teachers, and peers, and the social norms that are prevalent in my communities. Additionally, my experiences and exposure to different social, cultural, and political environments also play a role in shaping my perceptions of myself as a positive force in society. One of the key ways that I perceive myself as a positive force in society is through my sense of agency and empowerment. I believe that I can make a difference in the world and that my actions can have a positive impact on others. This belief often stems from the values and beliefs that I hold, such as a commitment to social justice, equality, and environmental conservation. For example, If I'm passionate about fighting climate change I may feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment by participating in protests, volunteering for environmental organizations, or raising awareness about the issue through social media. Another way that I perceive myself as a positive force in society is through my participation in community service and volunteer activities. I'm drawn to these types of activities because they provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment and because they allow me to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. For example, If I volunteer at a local food bank or shelter I may feel a sense of pride and accomplishment knowing that I'm helping to address an important need in my community. Additionally, participation in community service and volunteer activities can also help me to develop important skills and competencies, such as teamwork, communication, and leadership, which can be beneficial for my personal and professional growth. The parameters of current social norms also play a role in shaping how I perceive myself as a positive force in society. For instance, being exposed to messages through social media and popular culture emphasizes the importance of being socially responsible and engaged in their communities. These messages often encourage me to take action on issues that I care about and to use my voice and influence to make a positive impact on the world. For example, if I see my favorite celebrity using their platform to advocate for a social cause I may be inspired to do the same and may feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when my efforts are recognized and appreciated by others. Additionally, the expectations and demands of society can also influence how I perceive myself as a positive force in society. For example, if I feel under pressure to succeed academically and to excel in extracurricular activities I may feel a sense of responsibility to perform well and to make a positive contribution to my community. This pressure can come from a variety of sources, including parents, teachers, and peers, and can be both positive and negative. On the one hand, it can motivate me to work hard and strive for excellence, but on the other hand, it can also lead to stress, anxiety, and a feeling of inadequacy when I'm unable to meet these expectations.

    The world is vast and wondrous, A tapestry of sights and sounds, A symphony of colors and flavors, A mosaic of cultures and traditions. As we journey through this land, We are awed by the beauty that surrounds us, From the tallest peaks that reach for the sky, To the smallest flower that blooms in the field. We are humbled by the power of nature, By the might of the ocean and the fury of the storm, By the roar of the thunder and the flash of the lightning, By the heat of the sun and the cold of the snow. We are inspired by the diversity of life, By the endless variety of creatures that roam the earth, By the songs of the birds and the calls of the wild, By the grace of the deer and the strength of the bear. And yet, as we marvel at the world around us, We cannot help but feel a sense of wonder, A sense of mystery that lies at the heart of all things, A sense of the divine that permeates every aspect of our existence. For we are not alone in this world, We are but a small part of a much greater whole, A part of a grand design that stretches beyond our understanding, A part of a cosmic order that transcends our limitations. And so we gaze up at the stars, And we marvel at their beauty and their majesty, We are filled with a sense of awe and wonder, We are humbled by the vastness of the universe. For we are but tiny specks of dust, In the vast expanse of space and time, Yet we are also a reflection of the divine, A manifestation of the eternal and the infinite. And so we are called to explore, To seek out new horizons and uncharted territories, To discover the secrets of the universe, To uncover the mysteries of the unknown. For we are children of the universe, Bound together by a common thread, A thread that connects us to one another, A thread that weaves us into the fabric of life. And so we are called to journey forth, To embrace the adventure of discovery, To embrace the challenge of the unknown, To embrace the beauty of the world around us. For we are the explorers of the world, The guardians of the future, The heirs of a legacy that stretches back to the dawn of time, The inheritors of a destiny that awaits us all. And so we journey on, With courage and with hope, With wonder and with awe, With the knowledge that we are not alone, That we are part of something greater than ourselves, That we are part of the universe, And that the universe is part of us.
    Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact Scholarship
    The phenomenon described in the quote refers to the tendency of some individuals to engage in unruly or disruptive behavior when participating in online gaming forums. This behavior may include insulting or harassing other players, using offensive language, or engaging in other forms of disrespectful or disruptive behavior. This phenomenon is particularly common among teenagers, who may be more likely to engage in this type of behavior due to their lack of experience with online communication and their tendency to be more impulsive and emotional. For many teenagers, participating in online gaming forums can be a way to escape from the constraints and rules of real-life social interactions, which can make it more likely that they will engage in behaviors that they would not normally engage in face-to-face. One of the effects of this phenomenon is that it can have a negative impact on real-life social interactions. As I become more accustomed to disregarding social norms and engaging in disruptive behavior online, I may be more likely to do so in real life as well. This can make it more difficult for me to form and maintain positive social relationships, and can also lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. Additionally, this phenomenon can also have a negative impact on the broader online community. Online gaming forums are often meant to be spaces where players can come together to share their experiences, seek advice, and engage in friendly competition. However, when individuals engage in disruptive behavior, it can create a toxic and unpleasant atmosphere that can discourage others from participating and can ultimately lead to the breakdown of the community. One way to address this phenomenon is for parents and educators to educate teenagers about the importance of respectful and civil behavior online, and to provide guidance and support to help them develop the skills and habits they need to engage in positive and constructive online interactions. This can include teaching teenagers about the consequences of engaging in disruptive behavior online, and providing them with strategies for managing their emotions and responding to difficult situations in a positive way. Another way to address this phenomenon is for online gaming forums to implement stricter rules and moderation policies to discourage disruptive behavior and to promote a more positive and inclusive community. This can include implementing clear guidelines for acceptable behavior, providing mechanisms for reporting and addressing inappropriate behavior, and making it clear that individuals who engage in disruptive behavior will face consequences. In conclusion, the phenomenon of people disregarding common social norms in online gaming forums is a common and potentially harmful problem, particularly among teenagers. Addressing this phenomenon will require a combination of education, support, and moderation to help teenagers develop the skills and habits they need to engage in positive and constructive online interactions, and to foster a more positive and inclusive online community.

    I accidentally overheard my parents talking in their room about something that would change my life forever. “We are moving to America.” My heart sank. We were leaving. I realized that we were not relocating across the country, but moving across the world. Departing your home country for any reason and moving to a foreign homeland is a life-changing event for anyone. It is a challenging decision but, at the same time, an incredible opportunity. I moved to the USA when I was eight years old. We were one of the thousands of families who escaped religious persecution and ongoing violence in Egypt. My parents wanted to raise my sister and me in a safer environment; they left friends and family behind, sacrificing everything for a better education and future. As a family, we faced numerous communication, social, and financial struggles. There were days when we could only eat one meal a day because we had to pay rent for our two-bedroom apartment. Sitting around the table, cherishing what we had is all we needed at the time. As a child, I was taken away from everything I knew. I had to adapt mentally, emotionally, and physically. My biggest challenges were the disorienting language barriers and cultural differences that stood between me and the better life my family had dreamed of. It was difficult because joining a new school system and not being fluent in a language brought fear and anxiety. Additionally, I faced a lot of trouble adjusting to a new culture, feeling that I was not as well-educated as people who grew up in America. This left me with internal conflicts, including loneliness, isolation, and the feeling of not fitting in. However, my family did their best to support my growth and I can say that they provided me with tremendous support. My mom hired tutors with what little money we had left just so I can learn the language of the land. My parents encouraged me to put myself in a position to strive for achievement and were willing to do whatever was necessary to catalyze my success. My new school helped me acclimate to the waters of my new life: the school environment was welcoming and encouraged students through learning programs and community resources like libraries. I worked on enhancing my skills, like language learning, which were great confidence builders. Having arrived after school had started, the 3rd grade was a wild mess that required me to have a translator to communicate with the students and teachers. I eventually figured out the basics of writing essays or texting, but I wanted to go a step further. In high school, I enrolled in rigorous English classes that promoted me to become the best I could be. I learned that any adjustment will not happen overnight. Each piece of further information is a part of the transition. I discovered that every challenge I faced helped me further believe in myself, which made my life richer. These struggles empowered me to realize that I am stronger than I think. Life can inevitably take unexpected turns at any significant point. I was confident in making errors. Yet, I didn't give up. I'm proud of myself and my achievements, such as getting an honor roll throughout high school and being ranked in the top ten percent of my school with my weighted GPA. I stayed on the path to success and believed in my abilities to achieve my objectives despite any roadblocks.

    Mental illness can affect people in many different ways, depending on the specific condition and its severity. Some common ways that mental illness can impact people include difficulty with relationships, difficulty holding down a job, financial problems, and problems with physical health. In severe cases, mental illness can lead to suicidal thoughts or behavior, self-destructive behavior, and a loss of touch with reality. Mental illness has become an increasingly common problem among teenagers in recent years. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, around 20% of teenagers in the United States suffer from mental illness, and the rate of mental health issues among teenagers has been rising in recent years. There are many reasons why mental illness is becoming more common among teenagers. One of the main reasons is the increasing levels of stress and pressure that I face in my life. I feel that I am under constant pressure to succeed academically, fit in with my peers, and meet the expectations of my parents and teachers. This constant pressure can take a toll on my mental health and lead to a range of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. Another factor that can contribute to the rise in mental health issues among teenagers is the increasing use of technology and social media. The constant exposure to social media puts pressure on me to present a certain image of myself to the world, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Additionally, constant exposure to the internet and social media can make it more difficult for me to disconnect and relax, which can further contribute to my mental health issues. The effects of mental illness on teenagers can be significant and far-reaching. For me, mental health issues can interfere with my ability to succeed academically and build healthy relationships with peers and family members. In severe cases, mental illness can lead to self-destructive behavior, such as drug and alcohol abuse, and can even lead to thoughts of suicide. It is important for parents, teachers, and other adults who work with teenagers to be aware of the signs of mental illness and to provide support and resources to help teenagers who are struggling. This can include things like providing access to counseling and therapy services, encouraging teenagers to talk about their feelings, and helping them to develop healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and pressure. By providing support and resources, we can help to reduce the impact of mental illness on teenagers and support them in leading healthy, happy lives.
    Theresa Lord Future Leader Scholarship
    I accidentally overheard my parents talking in their room about something that would change my life forever. “We are moving to America.” My heart sank. We were leaving. I realized that we were not relocating across the country, but moving across the world. I moved to the USA when I was eight years old. We were one of the thousands of families who escaped religious persecution and ongoing violence in Egypt. As a family, we faced numerous communication, social, and financial struggles. As a child, I was taken away from everything I knew. I had to adapt mentally, emotionally, and physically. My biggest challenges were the disorienting language barriers and cultural differences that stood between me and the better life my family had dreamed of. This left me with internal conflicts, including loneliness, isolation, and the feeling of not fitting in. My parents encouraged me to put myself in a position to strive for achievement and were willing to do whatever was necessary to catalyze my success. The unique thing about me is that I can transform the challenges I've faced into teachings I can use. I learned that any adjustment will not happen overnight. Each piece of further information is a part of the transition. I discovered that every challenge I faced helped me further believe in myself, which made my life richer. These struggles empowered me to realize that I am stronger than I think. Life can inevitably take unexpected turns at any significant point. I was confident in making errors. Yet, I didn't give up. I'm proud of myself and my achievements. I stayed on the path to success and believed in my abilities to achieve my objectives despite any roadblocks. Due to my interest in playing video games, watching science fiction films and TV shows, and reading stories about artificial intelligence, I fell in love with computers from a young age. I think the computer science degree will be the best fit for me, and I'm confident I'll enjoy my time studying and working in this sector investing the next years of my life in building the technical skills and knowledge required for this career. Thanks to computer science, my life will be an exciting challenge and an endless source of joy. I think I should be chosen to earn this scholarship considering how hard I work as a student and how committed I am to making the most of the potential the scholarship will give me. Along with this, I work tirelessly to volunteer and help my community. I think that getting a strong education is essential for success, and I work to combine my love of learning with my goal to be of service to others. Furthermore, I think I qualify for this scholarship since it will enable me to carry out my plans and long-term objectives. I may work toward my computer science job ambitions by furthering my knowledge in this subject. I want to contribute to society, and this scholarship will help me accomplish so by making it possible for me to get the education I need now and in the future. I'm a wonderful fit since, in addition to having a 3.89 GPA, my interests have always involved computers. I work on my computer for most of the day, either learning code in Python or honing my analytical thinking abilities. I completed the most difficult math courses that are relevant to fields of advanced computer science including data science and artificial intelligence.

    One of the biggest problems confronting our globe right now is climate change. There are several environmental, social, and economic effects of the Earth's warming climate. From more frequent and intense natural disasters to the loss of biodiversity, to the displacement of communities, the effects of climate change are far-reaching and complex. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most effective approaches to tackling climate change. Climate change is brought on by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat in the atmosphere of the Earth. Fossil fuel combustion, including the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas, is a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce emissions, we must transition to renewable energy sources. This entails using more clean, renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. These sources of energy produce little or no greenhouse gas emissions, and they can help to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Another important way to combat climate change is to conserve energy and natural resources. This means using energy efficiently and reducing waste. For example, using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, carpooling or using public transportation, and recycling can all help to reduce our environmental impact. Additionally, promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of society can help to combat climate change. This means supporting organizations and policies that promote sustainable agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, as well as protecting natural habitats and ecosystems. It also means making conscious choices in our daily lives to reduce our environmental impact, such as choosing products made from sustainable materials and supporting businesses that prioritize sustainability. Overall, combatting climate change will require a collective effort from individuals, businesses, and governments. By reducing emissions, conserving energy and natural resources, and promoting sustainable practices, we can make a positive impact on the health of our planet and protect it for future generations. There are many ways to fight climate change in everyday life, and the best way to do so will depend on your circumstances and what you can do. Some potential ways I use to reduce my carbon footprint and fight climate change include reducing my energy consumption by using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, using public transportation or carpooling instead of driving alone, planting trees or supporting reforestation efforts, reducing my consumption of meat and dairy products, and supporting clean energy sources such as wind and solar power. It's also important to stay informed about the latest developments in the fight against climate change and to support political leaders who are committed to addressing this issue.

    Tim Watabe Doing Hard Things Scholarship
    I accidentally overheard my parents talking in their room about something that would change my life forever. “We are moving to America.” My heart sank. We were leaving. I realized that we were not relocating across the country, but moving across the world. Departing your home country for any reason and moving to a foreign homeland is a life-changing event for anyone. It is a challenging decision but, at the same time, an incredible opportunity. I moved to the USA when I was eight years old. We were one of the thousands of families who escaped religious persecution and ongoing violence in Egypt. My parents wanted to raise my sister and me in a safer environment; they left friends and family behind, sacrificing everything for a better education and future. As a family, we faced numerous communication, social, and financial struggles. There were days when we could only eat one meal a day because we had to pay rent for our two-bedroom apartment. Sitting around the table, cherishing what we had is all we needed at the time. As a child, I was taken away from everything I knew. I had to adapt mentally, emotionally, and physically. My biggest challenges were the disorienting language barriers and cultural differences that stood between me and the better life my family had dreamed of. It was difficult because joining a new school system and not being fluent in a language brought fear and anxiety. Additionally, I faced a lot of trouble adjusting to a new culture, feeling that I was not as well-educated as people who grew up in America. This left me with internal conflicts, including loneliness, isolation, and the feeling of not fitting in. However, my family did their best to support my growth and I can say that they provided me with tremendous support. My mom hired tutors with what little money we had left just so I can learn the language of the land. My parents encouraged me to put myself in a position to strive for achievement and were willing to do whatever was necessary to catalyze my success. My new school helped me acclimate to the waters of my new life: the school environment was welcoming and encouraged students through learning programs and community resources like libraries. I worked on enhancing my skills, like language learning, which were great confidence builders. Having arrived after school had started, the 3rd grade was a wild mess that required me to have a translator to communicate with the students and teachers. I eventually figured out the basics of writing essays or texting, but I wanted to go a step further. In high school, I enrolled in rigorous English classes that promoted me to become the best I could be. I learned that any adjustment will not happen overnight. Each piece of further information is a part of the transition. I discovered that every challenge I faced helped me further believe in myself, which made my life richer. These struggles empowered me to realize that I am stronger than I think. Life can inevitably take unexpected turns at any significant point. I was confident in making errors. Yet, I didn't give up. I'm proud of myself and my achievements, such as getting an honor roll throughout high school and being ranked in the top ten percent of my school with my weighted GPA. I stayed on the path to success and believed in my abilities to achieve my objectives despite any roadblocks.
