It is a privilege for students to attend a good college and pursue their dreams of helping their families or communities. Because of the high cost of college education, it is commonly referred to as a "privilege." I come from a low-income family where only my father and I support each other but in recent years I have been the sole provider for him and myself. I want to use my college education to give back to the community by improving education for children and teaching them about the real world. Being a low-income student and a female, it gets hard knowing what’s going to be my next step to push through. I would describe myself as quiet and understanding. I dedicated myself to my education very seriously and wasted no time reaching my goals. I’ve dealt with consistent struggles in my life and being someone who doesn’t have much has made me work harder to keep pushing. As a first-generation student accepted to the University of San Diego, I believe I can give back to my community after completing my education. My major is Anthropology, but I hope to change it to Education soon. I enjoy teaching children and creating an environment in which they can grow as individuals while also learning what to expect in the real world so that they can better their communities. I've always placed a high value on building relationships with other people. My top priority, even as a child, was to get close to others. Unfortunately, this caused persecution. I was so concerned about other people and my relationship with them that ignored the obvious indicators of indifference, disregard, and gossip. I wished beyond hope that they would see how much I cared for them and change the way they treated me. Sadly, that never actually happened. My father cannot do enough to help me because he suffers from schizophrenia. I look after him now and help him when he needs it. Continuing my education will help me succeed and inspire future generations to strive for better opportunities. Being able to push through and have opportunities will get me into a better situation in life along with my father. My education has become a very successful and enjoyable endeavor for me. I worked very hard to achieve such wonderful results! I am the Battalion Commander of the Cabrillo High School NJROTC unit, commanding over 120 students and encouraging them to become better leaders. I have only involved myself with NJROTC but being in this program has helped me gain experience in different organizations with volunteering. I hope to help the community and especially our veterans and other organizations that are involved with the military. I have a GPA of 4.13 and will graduate as Valedictorian from Cabrillo High School. I will work harder to improve my education and serve my community to help younger generations better this society. I strive for a better outcome when I realize my dreams and begin to assist other children in achieving their goals and becoming better citizens by helping others as well.
