Good day Our Destiny Our Future Foundation! I know I have already made long lasting positive and influential impacts on many all covering my professional, personal, educational and volunteering insights. Since May of 2023, I have taken on many diverse roles by being an American Red Cross volunteer. My roles have developed throughout almost a year of over 220 hours of volunteering impacts which include Disaster Action Team Service Associate (May 2023), Mass Care Shelter Associate (Sept. 2023), Sound the Alarm Team Member (Feb 2024), and most recently a National Headquarters Volunteer Screener position which is the bookings, interviewing, and referral of the volunteer. Disaster Cycle Services is the main coverage of my volunteering. My home is the Southeast Chapter of Wisconsin which responds to disaster events in counties of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington and Waukesha County. The Southeast chapter has almost 90 members with diverse schedules and backgrounds who are willing, at a drop of a hat, arrive on scene to communicate with the departments, do a damage assessment of the property, and gather the displaced individuals to talk and open a case. Personally, I am a remote disaster worker who takes on call cases conducting an interview or sorts with the affected person/s to enter personal data, how it might had occurred, do they have support, or do they agree to it, and how can we help. Unfortunately, a good example is the city of Milwaukee as it is the most active and fire ridden, mass care shelter induced, and requires the most needed care from the American Red Cross. Apartment fires are unfortunately always expected and an average of 20 to 40 displacements of families and individuals. This is where the Sound the Alarm role enters as we teach, show and install smoke alarms. When a fire occurs, we then set up a shelter to care for them, supply a place to sleep, eat, interact, and cope with their unexpected life changes. We then open a case in the Red Cross data base, ask them if they would like medical, costs, spiritual care with a Red Cross donation to help them restart short term. In early February I knew I needed to make a higher positive impact by volunteering at a National Headquarters level. I accepted a Volunteer Screener position where I screen to see if a person is the perfect fit. If so, I send a referral to the accepting department for an interview. As a screener, I am the first point of contact. For example, the individual schedules via bookings for the role, I receive an email, set up a Teams Meeting interview, and ask questions that may surprise them but is set to get a perfect response. Just knowing that a person shows interest in volunteering nationally and not just in a chapter, makes it all worth it as at the core we impact everyone on a global scale from Wisconsin to New York, California, Guam, Puerto Rico and even the U.S. Virgin Islands. Hope you enjoyed learning just part of my journey to make the world a more positive place. Have a wonderful and positive 2024!

Good day Walking in Authority International Ministry! Your questions are - What inspires you to get involved in your community? and How have you worked to influence change in your community? Well, let us see. Since May of 2023 I was inspired to get involved in my community by becoming an American Red Cross volunteer. My roles have developed throughout almost a year which now include being a Disaster Action Team Service Associate (May 2023), Mass Care Shelter Associate (Sept. 2023), Sound the Alarm Team Member (Feb 2024), and in February 2024 as a National Headquarters Volunteer Screener position which is the bookings, interviewing, and referral of the volunteer. Well in early February I felt a personal need to have more volunteering developments and considered it at a National Headquarters level, which I was offered a Volunteer Screener position within 20 minutes. Of course, I accepted the Volunteer Screener position and now interview to see if the person is the perfect fit. If so, I send a referral to the accepting department. In my role I am the first point of contact. The individual schedules via bookings for the role, I receive an email, set up a Teams Meeting interview, and ask questions that may surprise them but is set to get a perfect response. Not only am I working within my local community and at a national level, but I am influencing and impacting each person I come across. There are no better feelings then knowing you are changing their lives not only in the moment but as looking into their future. Just knowing that a person shows interest nationally and not just in a chapter, makes it all worth it as at the core we impact everyone on a global scale from Wisconsin to New York, California, Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico and even the U.S. Virgin Islands and Hawaii. While in my home state of Wisconsin it is the Southeast chapter I influence and develop supportive change supporting and responding to events (fires, floods, tornado's, crime) in the most active regions of Kenosha County, Milwaukee County, Ozaukee County, Racine County, Walworth County, Washington County and Waukesha County. As an American Red Cross volunteer, I live by both my words and my actions. Staying local and influencing my community is the most beneficial. The lasting impact of the cases I helped with while at a disaster, made me want to volunteer at a National Headquarters level. Or be one of the human resource individuals for national change and where the changes affect each region under the NHQ's. Thank you and live your best possible 2024!

Why a healthy lifestyle is important to me is being there to meet my great-grandchildren. At 24 years old, I have considered my current and future life. I love the idea of being able to see my great-grandchildren in the next 70 years. Luckily, my great-grandmother is 92 and the other is 93 years old. The first step is being strong enough to have my own kids and raise them under mixed martial arts. My current healthy habits must be developed and implemented for life. In the past, I have been extraordinarily successful when it comes to my motivation to live a healthy lifestyle. I used to take part in mixed martial arts and specialized in judo and karate. During that venture, I worked up from a white belt to a black belt. Five times a week for an hour was the weekly attendance and I won three gold, two silver, and six bronze within judo and karate. Along with being the runner-up for Wisconsin at the Karate Kick International Tournament. I was granted a spot to stand for Wisconsin at the United States National class where the next level would have been showing up for the United States at the Pan-American Games. Learning to defend ourselves at a youthful age builds confidence, self-defense skills, self-esteem, concentration, social skills, respect, and most importantly teaches us how to understand the positives and negatives on how to live an healthy lifestyle long term. My health goals include entering the healthy weight of 145 lbs., receiving my adult black belt in mixed martial arts, entering back into tournaments, and being the weight of 145 to be enlisted as an officer in the United States Army via my education. The result is to enter a leadership position and direct the public policy analysis for military regulations for when soldiers come home. The key is to lessen the traumatic results. I have heard that the life overseas fighting goes by in one slow continuous movement where the years run into the feelings of being gone for a decade. I will achieve these goals by 1) working out via mixed martial arts to become the goal weight of 145 lbs., 2) which in-turn will bring the black belt and competitions, and 3) the goals will be achieved within the next four years that I must wait to complete my education before I can be commissioned as an officer in the United States Army who specializes in public policy analysis.

A dog that has changed my life is French Fry and he is almost 13. He has been in my life since I was 14 years old or 10 years. From high school to college graduation and beyond. Since I have anxiety, he has been by my side with each panic attack that took hold. French Fry is a kind and lively man who is also a personal protector and loves me for who I am. This includes being worried and standing by the front door wondering where I went. I should now mention that he also suffers from anxiety. When I opened the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave me a look of why and how could you.

The loss of a close family member that caused me to focus on what matters most in life and gave me the achievement to fight was on the very first day of 2021. My cousin took his life. At the time, I did not think much about death, but now it is a realistic fact that can take over at any time. Without warning for most. Since his passing, I have found that I must live life to the fullest and without shame. It has been a year, although I now view every second and its actions as a past moment I can never get back. I have had struggles and knew I must change myself 100%, develop a new outlook on my own life, and for the people I deeply love. This event taught me that hope, passion, and force never leaves your soul. I must live in a happy state and never change my mind as if nothing will develop into anything. I now enjoy what I have to offer and what I have been born with - life. I will admit, I do have a fear that stays in the back of my mind 24/7 and that is the fact I will be dead, everyone I know, and everyone I do not know. How can one become optimistic and stay that way? The answer includes understanding how precious living on this earth is. Knowing the meaning of life brings the passions of hope, belief, and confidence that will never be forgotten. Life is life, death is death. On April 15, 2021, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia which is widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. I have issues with full body pain, stabbing, burning, tiredness, sometimes brain fog that causes forgetfulness, and trouble typing. Even with these symptoms, my drive to fight and succeed is a day-to-day process. I suffer from a disorder that on certain days all I can do is lay in bed because of a medical flare up that can often be caused by food, but I have passion to become a public policy analyst and such I am doing. I love life, each day, and since the diagnosis a fire inside burns. I finished my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology that July 1, was accepted into five master programs, and am currently completing a Master of Science in Psychology with a 4.0 GPA. After I graduate with the Master of Science in Psychology, I will enter a Doctor of Law and Policy. There I will learn about my fight to help the people I know and the people I have never met by reviewing what I know is to be life changing policies through government interaction. In life it is my strong belief that everyone in the world is just misunderstood, and that trust needs to be built for a successful, happy, and long life. My three educational areas will only be a token in my backpack to help others succeed, feel safe, and live as they are: a human. Another almost loss that made me fight is with the issues my father has experienced in his 47 years. To start, he is the youngest of nine children and was never fully understood as himself. He has had his fair share of hardship including drug addiction and in turn being homeless for about five years. His addictions started when I was noticeably young and at age 11, he purposely overdosed when I was there. For about 10 years, I never saw him due to his issues until he had a stroke and almost passed away. After his mother died, was when it truly began. He would then be strongly addicted to cocaine and heroin and was unable to live in society. I believe trust must be gained from the single person to have them share their thoughts with their given voice, but to also help them believe they will have a better future that right now, in this moment, could only be a dream. With a background in anthropology, psychology and law and policy, becoming a policy analyst I will use my personal background every single time I view the papers given to me that will next be passed to public administration. My role is where real change is seen, made, and achieved. How I see my vision of changing the world positively in the future is because development is needed. Knowing what has taken place in 2021, either had individuals develop a negative or positive outlook on life. Just the thought that people are struggling is a real issue affecting my moral values. By understanding that everyone (you and me) has concerns but cannot share, the good people must now be heard.

"One thing I have learned over time is everything that comes up (in our minds) does not necessarily need to come out (of our mouths/papers). Throughout this course, I have read your discussion contributions and trust me when I say your passion is palpable. A well-known scholar once told me, Passion can sometimes suck the energy out of a room to the point your audience becomes disengaged". This quote was a response to my posted final Ethical Practices in Psychology discussion that asked about your biggest in life ethical concern. I asked fellow students to comment on the post and give their thoughts on if in school projects I should tell the full truth or "half-truth". I have had issues with certain instructors not understanding my point of view to the point a straight A student received a B-. A few professors have commented that I have my own style of writing, other students would be wise to take your advice, and that what I write is formatted in an unusual but good way. Completing graduate level courses do require more guidance than undergraduate, often graduate students can be older, and have been in the same position in their early educational journey. I commented on her post and said, "Thank you for your comments, and I will remember the quote of the scholar you gave". This is the lesson that changed my perspective on something significant in my life.

Why I love nature are the volcanoes that show seismic activity. Throughout the history of earth, the land we step on has been built on top of seismic plates and when volcanoes erupt, they add a new framework to live on. Seeing red, orange, and yellow lava being sent thousands of feet with the covering of ash, is why I appreciate nature. Volcanoes are not man-made, but just a part of the land before we were born. The great part of volcanoes to be appreciated, is the fact that they can be dormant for thousands of years and then suddenly show activity. One cannot help but wonder why all of a sudden activity is being shown. This area is also a scientific discipline called volcanology or when a geologist studies past, current, and predictions of future eruptions. They also study volcanic formation over time and are the ones who send the warnings on when to evacuate the local surroundings. Great examples of these natural phenomenon's are Mount St. Helens, Mount Fuji, Kilauea, and Eyjafjallajokull.

The wisest thing I have ever heard is the following quote from a fellow graduate student: "One thing I have learned over time is everything that comes up (in our minds) does not necessarily need to come out (of our mouths/papers). Throughout this course, I have read your discussion contributions and trust me when I say your passion is palpable. A well-known scholar once told me, Passion can sometimes suck the energy out of a room to the point your audience becomes disengaged". This quote was a response to my posted final Ethical Practices in Psychology discussion that asked about your biggest in life ethical concern.

I live with gratitude as I sit here and look across the room where my grandmother is standing. I appreciate the events that made her who she is. Grandma is 68 and I am 24, she is like a second mother that I love deeply. I can't help but wonder about her fears in life. Maybe because she has been through a lot. Growing up, she was diagnosed with a rare disease of rheumatic fever. For five years she had to have weekly penicillin shots due to a group A streptococcus infection via strep throat. She vividly remembers the stories about her grandmother passing away from rheumatic fever as her heart valves failed. No treatment in the 1930s could be used to save a young not even 40-year-old woman. My great-grandfather could not handle the passing of his mom and later took his own life, like his father. Just being alive is a blessing that adds gratitude, appreciation, and I know I must restart the female family legacy. We owned a butchery, store, and restaurant that started sometime around the 1800's. We were millionaires in the 1970s, but everything including the home burned down and my 2nd great-grandfather took his life. Life events are lessons that must be noticed and taken care of. I do love each family member while also developing my own.

Joy to me is being at peace with who I am, and one current way is family history. I have spent months researching my family roots. This includes DNA testing by AncestryDNA to understand where my father's side and mother's side were once located. I was able to get DNA results from my father, mother, her dad and mom, and my great-grandmother. I will add the results at the end. Since I am deeply looking into family ties, and who else I am related to, many surprising results formed. Such as being in current talks with the Mayflower Society in Plymouth, M.A. for approval on being a grandchild of Francis Cooke ->John Cooke|Sarah Warren (father is Richard Warren) and a supplement of Edward Doty. Through my research, I found other family relations. Many of my grandfathers were in the War of 1812, members of the Continental Army, and Quakers. Distant Cousins are Presidents Grover Cleveland, Rutherford B. Hayes, George Washington, John Tyler, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Kentucky Statesman Henry Clay, Patriot Spy Nancy Hart, Patriot Pastor James Caldwell, New Jersey Patriot Richard Stockton, and explorer William Marshall Anderson are cousins as well. The result is the joy in knowing who and where I am from: England - France - Sweden - Norway - Ireland - Scotland - Germany - Poland - The Czech Republic - Wales - Austria & Hungary - and the Baltic's.

The one personal financial lesson that I have found important is paying my student loans while in school. By paying my student loans when still in school, I get a head start, and can reduce the cost of interest given with a student loan. This financial lesson has been successful as I paid off my undergraduate student loans on graduation day. Only thanks to the stimulus checks given and when they were in my account, I put each one towards my student loans. Currently, loan payments are not needed until May. The decision to have people not pay student loans when they could be struggling with everyday financial concerns, is a lesson within itself. Or possibly the biggest mistake that could have occurred to some. Now, people have decided not to pay towards their loans as it is not needed and the due date to repay has been pushed back over and over. When repayments are going to be required, people will owe more due to the interest acquired and many will more than likely default. Why cause this to yourself?

I relax by experimental cooking which in turn takes care of my mental health. Cooking is peaceful as the result is a new delicious food item that I have never had before. Each recipe step must be carefully followed, and each ingredient must be spot on. The time of the cooking must be followed carefully and as each step is completed, we get closer to the food results that can now be taste tested. Maybe even made a second time. My depression and anxiety relax as they are not the focal point anymore as the aroma is pleasant. The real pleasant thing is that the food I have just made, well, let me just say that grandma is always pleased to enjoy. Pieces that I have cooked include brownie cookies, banana bread muffins, manicotti pasta, tacos with the chicken covered in taco seasoning, salsa, and cheese, and I am currently making red velvet cupcakes as it is Saturday.

Over the years, I have taken pride in encouraging those around me to succeed at the highest level and one example is becoming the leader in a college class. At this moment, I am attending a management course. On Monday's, I post a discussion for the team listing the week's assignments in detail, adding the graded connections for our final project, and how we could accomplish them. Afterwards, I send out individual emails to the least involved team members and make sure the email is short, clear, and to the point that the other team members would love to hear your voice on the current class topics. I am one who prefers the success of a whole team, as well as the people involved, and encourage them to meet the required deadlines, develop a to-do list, and make sure to set up a collaborative environment meeting. On Sunday's, I have a different team member submit the agenda and meeting minutes so that each member can detail their involvement in the week's work. I will say that I pay attention to the cost involved in taking a college course as a single class can be $500.00. I cannot and do not let someone slide during a team project and will continue to send a Monday Good Morning email that, after the second attempt, clearly notes a response is needed. The question is: Why not be interactive with a topic that you clearly registered $500.00 to improve your career?

The highest value I have learned to be within me is to be a leader. Overtime, I have taken joy in helping others succeed both in the professional and personal world. A simple example of becoming the leader is in school teams. Currently, I am attending for a management certificate, and they say that a leader will emerge. On Monday's, I post a new discussion for the team around 7 a.m. listing this week's assignments, future details, and how we can accomplish them. I then send out individual emails to team members who are less than involved saying that the team would love to hear your voice and thoughts on our current discussion topics. I am one who sees the success of a whole team, not just a person, and encourage them to help meet the required deadlines, follow a to-do list, meet in a collaborative environment, and switch up each submission of the agenda and meeting minutes so members show this week's involvement. I notice the cost involved in taking a college course as they are not cheap. I do not let someone slide through a team project and will continue to send a 7 a.m. Monday email that eventually clearly says we need a response. Why waste your money and not learn a topic that you clearly registered for? Slow anger does admit when I see a person not taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities in their hands. This is an exact quote I have used in a peer-review: "I do not feel giving ---- 0 pts is proper, but she has not posted in the past week. She must interact, she has not, and therefore has no evidence of 30.0 pts. Could you check if ---- is enrolled. I emailed her Friday with no response".

Phantom 309 by Red Sovine. A summary: a person was down on their luck with little hope and needed to get out. He decided to wave for a semi-truck to take him somewhere else. The truck stopped and the hiker took the passenger seat. The driver was Big Joe, and his truck was Phantom 309. The truck driver and hiker talked during the ride to the local truck stop. The hiker received a coin from Big Joe and went inside to get a cup of coffee. He mentioned the coin he got from a truck driver named Big Joe. Each person knew who he was, and it turned out that Big Joe passed away getting hit by a train saving the kids who were about to cross before him. Phantom 309 inspires me because it describes all of us. At some point in time, we are always feeling down and are not sure how to get out of our current situation. Often, we just need someone next to us to have a conversation with about how we are feeling. Traveling elsewhere to clear the head is best and the hiker did as such. At the end, he wanted to go home, and it turned out that the driver was a ghost and a kind one always open to helping a person in need. He went out of his way to bring up the spirits and add hope and happiness to someone's life. But then again, he was only a ghost, willing to help and then move right down the road.

My educational career and goals for the future are simple and hold a complexity of ways to achieve success. Here I will discuss the upcoming years. Currently I am heading down the path to the end as a policy analyst who will read, review, and give suggestions on whether a document should be handed over to the public administration department. I know that the earlier career will change lives in a positive way and reduce those ugly negative aspects that can and will harm society. I have already set a great achievement as my undergraduate student loans are paid. Next is the task of the master. One scholarship has been achieved, but that amount is nothing compared to the $19,000 loan debt of the M.S., but the daunting task is the doctorate, or you could say $36,000. I know once I start working in the government those amounts will not be anywhere near 55k. All I can do is race across the finish line of success and up to the first-place policy analyst podium. The educational and career goals I plan to achieve for my success include receiving an M.S. in Psychology in 2023, receiving my Doctorate in Law and Policy in the year of early 2025, working at a level of the government as a policy analyst, paying all the debt from my education ($55,000 or so) within ten years of graduation. Next, reviewing life changing policy applications to suggest how to fix the wrongs and replace them with the positives while showing that the general human is what matters. Not how a society is run for a human, but each must be respected on the deepest levels by trust and pushing the rights and removing the wrongs.

I want my legacy to be one of understatement. People live many lives in the short amount of years we are on this soil. Some learn from their mistakes, while others do not even consider their actions of the past, current, and the future. Everyday brings enjoyment, scares, sadness, laughter, tears, and many more. How can this be understood, well i'll tell you. You know the saying before you judge me walk a mile in my shoes. Well, under the surface and in the mind, each of us have. It is the flare of remembrance with embrace that hardships occur, but if we use our words and therefore openness, a wall is broken and a heart starts to grab the shattered pieces and glues them back together. When one is open to listening to another soul, then they feel joy and personally my internal heart will ache with understatement and gratitude for the one sitting before me. Life is too short to hold grudges or be in pain with no way to express true inner desires. One does not need to hold a hand. One must keep calm on the surface but live with panic and anxiety for the people I met and their aching actions. Often people do not step up and one must 'force' one to know I understand. This is what I want my legacy to be when I pass from this earth and my offspring takes over.

On April 15, 2021, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia which is widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. I have issues with full body pain, stabbing, burning, tiredness, sometimes brain fog that causes forgetfulness, and trouble typing. Even with these symptoms, my drive for motivation to succeed is a day-to-day process. I suffer from a disorder, that on certain days, all I can do is lay in bed because of a medical flare up that can often be caused by foods, but I have passion to become a public policy analyst and such I am doing. I love life, each day, and since the diagnosis, a fire inside has and still burns. I finished my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology that July 1, was accepted into five master programs, and am currently completing a Master of Science in Psychology. Although, to me, the master is easy. So, I have started a certificate at the local technical college in Principles of Management to become a full leader. After I graduate with the Master of Science in Psychology, I will enter into the DLP (law and policy) at Liberty University Online. There I will learn about my daily motivation to help the people I know and the people I have never met by reviewing what I know is to be life changing policies through government interaction. As we see in this current worldly atmosphere, the people need and require trust and a safe haven. Security must be added into everyday life, panic and anxiety must be reduced, and if I can do it, then you can too. My daily motivation is for the here and now but also for a future that I see needs people who understand, remember, and take the actions of the past to place a difference in the near years.

I have many different things that fuel my life, but currently they do not include friends or making friends for a relationship. At 24, I do not have time to mess around with people who do not share my passions nor future passions. Yes, I have set aside people to focus on my life of goals, hobbies, and making money to support myself first. I understand that life revolves around costs and when one is working towards their goals, that costs money. It is hard to set aside time to enjoy life (where money must be spent). Instead, I have located the hobbies of painting, reading, listening to music, and researching my past family. Which are free to do. The real thing that fuels my life is the need for a friend and a relationship. The only issue I have are the thoughts of adding my fair share from income, experience, and fulfilling most of my life goals. Within the future years, I will complete my MS Psychology and enter into a Doctorate in Law and Policy. While wrapping up the final schooling chapter, I will start working off the MS Psychology, make an income, and feel correct on inserting myself more into society. Right now, I am looking to follow the path of making an income by doing everything I need now and not have any regrets down the road. With money life is no worry. Why not sustain yourself and then others will fall into place with time and the experience necessary.

One of the major ways I apply creativity in my own life is by focusing on the abstractness of the day and paint. What I mean by this, is that the objects we surround ourselves with develop rays of light on the many individual aspects of life we view. Often, one does not think about how another truly impacts their creativity, but day after day we see the world and this world pops back into the memory when back at home. One way to show this feature is via abstracted paintings. I enjoy using nonsensical colors and packing them into an animal face. Faces are one of the most recognizable images of the human mind, so why not show them off. By noticing if one is sad, confused, or down, this can transfer well on canvas. For me, squids and ducks are the outcome. Why do I focus on applying this type of creativity/abstractness? Because on the surface both animals show the dull feature of expression, 'look' as not to be bothered with, and just carry about their day. Personally, I have the similar issue of a lack of outward facial movements. Or simply, every day squids and ducks are kind of like me.

I support equality and diversity in one way, race and gender does not exist as we are all a soul. I have noted that a human is a human and it is that simple. People deserve equality and their birth from a different sexual reproductive system of diversity. A person is alive, breathing, and experiences feelings such as sadness, anger, and happiness. To me, each and every individual has automatic respect. It does not matter the race or gender of the souls I see each day. I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know them on an individual level. Really, one cannot make assumptions or judge when they had no clue a person was even alive. When it comes to the abstract theory of race, this is incorrect. We each have ethnics and communities we belong to. It is impossible to box in the truth. I will give a short personal example. I belong to the ethnical communities of the English, Swedish, Irish, Scottish, German, Norwegian, Czechia, Polish, and the Lower Midwest and Virginia Settlers. This is me, not a white. This is what makes me diverse and equal as a human to another. All of us must be accepted as a soul who lives on earth with other souls doing the same thing and living life as one.

My talents are Karate and Judo. I started at age eight in 2006 with Mixed Martial Arts. Right off the bat it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Even at 24 years old, I still agree Mixed Martial Arts, Karate, and Judo was and has been the greatest experience ever. My passion is to start entering and winning gold, silver, and even bronze in these fields. I did well right from the start and found my Polish power with a TKO via leg kicks. I started competing in 2006 and stopped in 2008. Actually, I fought in over 40 matches and won 11 medals. I even lost the gold medal match and won silver at the Wisconsin State Tournament. This led to being a National Qualifier for Wisconsin. Unfortunately, 6th grade was the week before nationals and I was forced into school and not fighting. It is weird to think how the next step after the U.S.A. tournament would be entering the pan-american games for the U.S. This is still my biggest regret in life even though I was 10 years old. 14 years later, I still imagine being on the stage winning a medal and moving onto the next chapter. This did not happen and will never take place again. All I can do in this day and age is to re-enter an MMA expertise, practice and advance my skill set, and start competing at full force after so many years.

A piece of art that inspires me is when of my very own. The piece does not have a name, which is the point as he is a messed up blue squid surrounded with bright nonsensical colors. He is sadly the best art formation I have personally produced and could never let go of. Why is this nameless messed up blue squid the art that inspires me? Because it's really me. I have faults and misunderstandings like most and paint over my feelings day to day. The mind just goes into the clouds and stays until reality hits. He is a mix of my favorites from his colors, over-contours, confused look, hat wearing, while standing in the mix of brighter than life madness. He is an actual joy to be with for most, but others always wonder what they are viewing. Trying to explain often seems clueless and unless, but this could just be my INTJ-Architect personality. At the end of the day, I can look at him on the very wall we share and notice on the outside he always looks the same, but on the inside who even knows at this point.

Achieving academic success via study strategies is, for me, simple. I understand I am a morning person who tends to wake up around 6.30 a.m. each day of the week. I view an early start to the day as more hours to get school work and studying accomplished. Which has been a very successful strategy as no routine is changed during the week. Besides Saturday when I take the full day off to rest and enjoy life. Sunday is the start of the week. Just look at the calendar. Here is where I start reviewing the week's work, start its reading, outlining the homework Word documents for papers (only the titles and headlines in bold), and outline the studying plan. Monday-Thursday, I wake at 6.30 a.m., eat, etc., relax my mind, and start the fully online schooling by 7.30 a.m. On Monday, one discussion is completed while each day another is started and finished right after 8.00 a.m. Later in the day, I read, watch the required clips, and start the process of studying for the homework documents. As I know myself, breaks are required every 30 minutes to get up and walk around. I tend to be done by 1.30 p.m., so after this time school is set aside for the next morning. Although, sometimes I will restart homework about 5.30 p.m. for 30 minutes or so. The issue is that the week's educational requirements are often done by Thursday. The end result of setting this pattern early on in my BA was 32 A (2 A-) out of 42 courses and 4 with 1,000/1,000 points. I will say most classes were on the easier side no matter the subject: World War One, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and even Virology and Critical Thinking. Reaching out when stuck was key.

Well, the main event or tough time that happened when I had to stay optimistic was on the very first day of 2021. My cousin took his life. At the time, I didn't think much about death, but now it is a realistic fact that can take over at any time. Without warning for most. Since his passing, I have found that I must live life to the fullest and without shame. It has been less than a year, although I now view every second and its actions as a past moment I can never get back. I have had struggles this year and knew I must change myself 100%, develop a new outlook in my own life, and for the people I deeply love. This event taught me that hope, passion, and force never leaves your soul. I must live in a happy state all the time and never change my mind as if nothing will develop into anything. I now enjoy what I have to offer and what I have been born with - life. I will admit, I do have a fear that stays in the back of my mind 24/7 and that is the fact I will be dead, everyone I know, and everyone I don't know. How can one become optimistic and stay that way? I believe the answer includes understanding how precious living on this earth is. Knowing the meaning of life brings the passions of hope, belief, and a confidence that will never be forgotten. After all, life is life, death is death.

My educational and life goal is to help the general society build trust and lessen misunderstanding. My goal in education has already been partially achieved. I have received a BA in Anthropology with highest Latin honors as well as currently being in a MS Psychology program. Within a couple of years, I will enter into a Law and Policy doctoral for a career in public policy analysis. With the three educational backgrounds, I will be able to review, edit, and give suggestions on how to change the negatives of a public policy document that is trying to become a law. Mainly, how these negatives should and can be turned into a positive for not only the general society, but on an individual level. In life it is my strong belief that everyone in the world is just misunderstood and that trust needs to be built for a successful, happy, and long life. My three educational areas will only be a token in my backpack to help others succeed, feel safe, and live as they are: a human. The influencing factor for what is my why comes down to the issues my father has experienced in his 47 years. To start, he is the youngest of nine children and was never fully understood as himself. He has had his fair share of hardship including drug addiction and in-turn being homeless for about five years. His addictions started when I was very young and at age 10 he purposely overdosed when I was there. For about 10 years, I never saw him due to his issues until he had a stroke and almost passed away. After his mother died, was when it truly began. He would then be strongly addicted to cocaine and heroin and was unable to live in society. I believe trust must be gained from the single person to have them share their thoughts with their given voice, but to also help them believe they will have a better future that right now, in this moment, could only be a dream. With a background in Anthropology, Psychology, and Law and Policy, becoming a policy analyst I will use my personal background every single time I view the papers given to me that will next be passed to public administration. My role is where the real change is observed, made, and achieved. How I see my vision impacting the world positively in the future is because development is required. Knowing what has taken place in 2021, either had individuals develop a negative or positive outlook on life. Just the thought that people are struggling is a real issue affecting my moral values. By understanding that everyone (you and me) have concerns but cannot share, the good people must now be heard.

Something I love about myself is the fact that I am stubborn. Why? Because it gets you far in life in a short amount of time. I have always been one to not be pushed around, which has gotten me far in 24 years. All the way from qualifying for 2008 Nationals in Karate at age 10 to being accepted into 5 Masters. This personality trait works in other ways to my benefit including having passion for what I do, believe, and what is to be accomplished in the near future. Such examples include receiving my BA in Anthropology, an MS Psychology, and a future Doctorate in Law & Policy. To outsiders, this might seem to be a negative trait, but it is not as I believe in what I do and only push myself with these beliefs and what can help society in the future. This includes entering into policy analysis when finishing school. Entering into policy analysis, I can change how the law is perceived by reviewing the public policy making process and see what can be altered in the positive instead of it being entered in as a negative. I've always believed in changing the future for the better and for each individual. It doesn't matter who they are, how old they are, or what they have done with their lives. Each individual is a human being and they must enjoy life as such. This cannot be controlled by a policy that does not work on an individual level not just on a societal level. When my schooling is done, the stubborn personality trait will just be a token for a better future.

I have demonstrated leadership in many different ways from school, community, and family. The main source of becoming a leader has been through the National Society of Leadership and Success. I first entered the National Society of Leadership and Success in 2017 as a voter on campus and as a board member. In 2020, I again accepted the invitation to join the society and completed their Advanced and Executive Leadership Certification. In the Fall of 2021, I won the Living Leadership Scholarship that was based off of the efforts I did in the community from being a member to a mentor. For the Advanced Leadership Certification a requirement was to complete 5 hours of community service. Here I was able to help the family succeed in the time of COVID by helping around the house and making less stress in the household. It was an eye-opening experience, I never knew what the family put in everyday to sustain the members successfully and happily. Now for the Executive Leadership Certification, here I gave the help of cooking family Christmas dinner and the plans on how we would celebrate the 2020 Christmas holiday. Afterwards, I was required to make a video on the experience. Great leadership to me means showing trust and respect to every person you meet. It doesn't matter how they're acting, they may be rude or they may be respectful, but at the end of the day you are going out for a change. Each person has their own issues that we could never understand, but deep down as a leader, we know why they are here. To me being a leader is important because with a good set of moral values, we show that society needs change and often help too. It is showing that we care about another in ways a non-leader doesn't necessarily do. A leader is not out for money or fame but to be a calming force. Deep down, I appreciate making leadership work as someone can open up to another, get their opinions, have a conversation, and who knows where their life could end up in the near future.

The one thing that gives me hope that the future will be better is the fact that I understand everyone is just misunderstood. Given the climate of what has been 2021, many years are yet to come and for many people the upcoming years can only become better. I find hope that the future will be better because now everyone is starting to get their voice in this world. Even if it is from political, social, or environmental movement's. Everyone is starting to talk and give their own ringing to what matters in this world and that cannot be misunderstood. Voices define a generation, but the only issue is that people are not open enough and are not willing to learn about another so easily. Just having one conversation with another can give hope for the future, not only for them, but for you as well. Even relatability can bring hope in understanding that someone shares your own opinion even if they are younger, your same age, or older than you. Since Covid-19 hit the world, people's hope has either become dimmer or brighter. Overall health has also become a subject. As well as whether or not someone is happy, depressed, or anxious and cannot fulfill their needs in these times of trouble. Just having a balance in life can bring pleasure, peace, and happiness along with hope for the future and change for them. Communicating person to person, understanding the person across from you and listening to them can open up a new conversation or a new thought from the mind that has never been communicated before. This can cause ourselves to open up in ways never thought to be beneficial. The world changes day to day and we never know what to expect next. The only thing we can expect when we wake up is to have either the same day as yesterday or to change it. After all, it is up to the individual and how their outlook on life will change themselves inside and out.

The dreams for my future career include the following: - receiving my MS in Psychology with a final GPA of 3.8 in the year of early 2023; - receiving my Doctorate in Law and Policy by the year of early 2025; - working in a level of the government as a policy analyst; - paying all the debt from my education ($55,000 or so) within 6 years of graduation; - reviewing life changing policy applications to suggest how to fix the wrongs and replace them with the positives in the document; - show that the general human is what matters, not how a society is ran; - show that a human is a human and each must be respected on the deepest levels of trust by pushing the rights and removing the wrongs. By applying my educational programs, I can change life for the better. I have said before that getting into a career of law and policy directly affects the life around us. While showing how and what the current government must improve. On all levels. Although, the world is run by politics and these mind games are added into the policy making process. By reading, reviewing, editing, and suggesting, I can pinpoint how the new policy will alter certain ways of the law, how this must be stopped, and how these very papers should not be signed and put into the path of public administration.

I believe the best way to live a long and healthy life is to locate one's passions right away and use these passions to guide. The key is to learn about your inner framework from the mind and the body to breathing, anxiety, and stress. Personally, I have social anxiety which causes overwhelming stress each day, although I find inner peace when I distract myself with the exercises of listening to music I enjoy and performing deep breathing. Doing such activities, lets me really consider the next stressors from an anxiety induced situation until right before stepping past the door. I do consider a step in the journey we call life experience is to find what you are truly passionate about and use it as a wonderful guidance. When one considers themselves happy and at peace, they tend to live a longer and healthier lifestyle (research has shown the same). Which in-turn adds on years one may otherwise not have had. As for myself, country music, YouTube videos of Top Gear, Dragons Den, Taskmaster, etc., and living in the moment has given myself a new outlook on life. The younger we realize this, the better long term outcome of mind and body self-importance we will have.

One of my personal passions is doing the best for others. This might seem as a simple statement, but as many of us know, doing the best for others can sometimes be impossible. This is why I am exploring all options available that I can locate. Currently, I have my BA in Anthropology and did so to understand past, current, and future habits, culture, and outsider traditions of all dead and alive humans. Next, is the MS in Psychology which will include courses such as Global Terrorism, Sport and Society: the policy, culture, and racial differences, and Courts and Judicial Process to understand how people of all races can be and are treated with difference. After, is the Doctorate in Law and Policy. Here I believe one must stand tall and say I am making the impossible possible as a passion for the better. I do consider political and politics as not related. Political is more the study of the right while politics is pushing the wrong agenda. *this is my personal view only*. With the Law and Policy degree, the passion of doing the best for others has a strong root based in courses of Founding Era and the Constitution; Contemporary Challenges to Constitutional Order and the Role of the State; Public Policy Lawyering Skills; Law, Economics, and Public Policy, as well as Human Rights Law & Public Policy etc.

Since I am a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, I have performed different types of service. This includes aiding family during the last Christmas in COVID-19 lock down. At the time, I completed my leadership foundation certification and advanced leadership certification that included 5 hours of community service. As well as working on the highest executive level in the NSLS. My mother has always meant the most to me and I do not know what I would do without her. Since the local volunteering was not accepting at the time, I helped plan our very first Christmas together at home. We cooked dinner, gave thanks and gifts, and celebrated a few birthdays in December. In 2017, I attended the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and became a member of the Titan Volunteers board and a board voter for the National Society of Leadership and Success. All throughout 2018, I volunteered at the local animal shelter working with the cats. I know not a human but still a soul who would need a visit and communication once and awhile. In the future I will do what is best for all I met and meet.

The impact I hope to leave on the world is having each individual understand and know I worked for their hope, peace, comfort, and needs. I will be working as a policy analyst when my schooling is complete. I will not make the policies or be within public administration enforcing the new laws and now new society requirements. I will instead review each current policy document in front of me from an anthropology (study of humanity) and psychology mindset. By having the background of being unbiased, open-minded, do no-harm, and believe in what the general human requires from an ethical standpoint, will cause influence on the positives and negatives of the review just performed. In the next step suggestions are given and these new outlines are like an audit saying "this does not and will not work for society, this is what it should be instead". In the end, I have done what is required to leave hope, peace, comfort, and keep the needs in the world by building a step by step analysis on the methods we are and will be run by.

A dream life to many may never had occurred nor be seen as a future outcome. Life right now for certain people is dark while others are finding new hope. For myself, I have found hope after a tragic outcome on the first of this year. He would be 31 and I am 24. After having a loss of hope and noticing my dream life might never take place like his, I looked for treatment and received just that. I can now say that my dream life looks like the following: -Not having to worry about any debts (school, house, car etc.); -Not having any money issues in general; -Having my doctor of law and policy, master of science in psychology, bachelor of arts in anthropology; -Working for the federal government as a policy analyst; -Using my professional experience to aid in the United States Army; -Having three kids and a husband; -Moving and finally settling in Scotland. Along with never feeling lost, depressed, anxious, and hopeless again.

I will admit, I have always had an issue with actively listening since I was young. This could be due to having autistic personality traits. As I am now 24, I have developed into a higher more mature mind-form of activity and listening to those around me. At the end, people need one that they can always count on and this includes blocking out all other forms of distractions (noise) and zooming in on the person in front of you. By opening ears and listening to words, one can start to realize what they have missed out on in life. What is meant by that is with all the things going on around one, they are lost and can never focus on just one thing at a time. Life can pass by and almost too fast. What does listening mean to me? Just that: to live in the moment not be an observer of my own life.

The most inspiring book I have read is "Shoot Like A Girl: One Women's Dramatic Fight In Afghanistan and on the Home Front" by Mary Jennings Hegar. Why? This is a real life tale of events written and lived by Mary Jennings Hegar. Many events took place to prove that as a female she could fight alongside and better than the men she served with. A few words of Hegar's that stood out included that herself and her father were not very close but he always agreed and approved with anything she did. One night she was leaving to go back to the base after she and her father were in a heated debate. He still said that he loved her, but she did not. The next day, he passed away. Mary could never forgive herself and everything she achieved was never good enough. She got married, but found that it was even too difficult to deal with. She was the leader of her group and held each and every man accountable for his actions. She also was tough on the outside but soft at heart. Even with the inner battles of being a female in a male world, she proved to herself she would do better.

My future goals are as follows: Goals of Academics: finish my Master of Science in Psychology with a 4.0 GPA; be granted a scholarship; receive my Doctorate of Law and Policy by age 29; become debt free within five years after full graduation from the MS Psychology and the Doctorate Law and Policy. Goals of Career: entering a policy analysis position right after graduation; serving on the local city board of appeals; using my educational and career expertise in the United States Army; successfully running for office with a strong likelihood of a presidential run after I turn 35 in the year of 2032. Goals of Personal Life: entering a personal made painting into the 2022 county fair for viewing and judging; becoming a black belt in a category of Mixed Martial Arts and maybe even try my fair share at competing again since it has been so long; read a minimum 200 books; be approved for a journal publication to print a painting of mine. As well as being married with three kids within the next 15 years and settling in a place like Scotland.

My best skill is finding who I am. This includes locating inner peace with happiness by understanding where I came from. Understanding my past ancestors has been key in learning myself and the guidance I will require in life. Along with the skills to move around the challenges my grandparents encountered. To improve on inner peace with happiness by understanding where I came from, I did DNA tests through 23andMe, Ancestry, and MyHeritage. After being emailed each of the results most of the ethnic data overlapped and I could now build my family tree with confidence. Afterwards, I noticed that only having my DNA breakdown was not enough. So, sales on Ancestry (the most recognized and accurate company that I will follow) took place. I ordered one for my dad, my mom, her dad, her mom, and actually my 91-year-old grandmother asked for a test as a Christmas gift. One is never too old to understand their roots of life. I am now 24 and a quarter life crisis just occurred. I graduated with my BA in Anthropology on July 1, 2021, but noticed this was not defining who I am and where I belong. Yes, having a college degree is great, but it did not bring the inner peace required for a new chapter of life after graduation. Now, I understand life was and is not defined by achievements only who we are under the surface and where we truly can belong in historical society.

What makes me happy is spending time with the family at holidays and eating. I am a viking at heart which is strong in the blood and the stomach. So, we eat a lot and when we meet during an event food is unlimited. Not only does the food taste great, but it also makes a family connection. My great-grandmother just turned 93-years-old and finally gave up on cooking three years ago. At the end of her run of being a chef, she said making ten pounds of meat (plus sides) was too much work. Now my great-aunt has taken over the duties of feeding the family. This year is 2021 and 400 years of Thanksgiving. I have over a dozen grandparents who enjoyed that very first Thanksgiving on the new land. I could not miss this major milestone. Once in a lifetime situation and an opportunity to make the most of it. One day, fortunately or unfortunately, I will have my own kids and must cook the holiday meals for them. Hopefully, no ten pounds of meat will be required. Although, my family is small with most being 65(+) in age. Cooking will not be such a hassle in the near future due to their age. In the meantime, I must take advantage of every year a person is on earth because you never know if they will arrive the next.

I practice self-care in different ways including reading, painting, and deep breathing. I have encountered a few events this year that made me reconsider life as it is and what I can do to change and self-improve. To start, reading. I have found reading to be a magical mental distraction. I have a heavy imagination and can play out scenes in great detail. When I put down the book and then re-pick it up, it is as if the images have never stopped. It really is an art that influences an escape from the stress of reality. Next, painting. This type of art has been key to show myself if I have any artistic talents or even strengths. Most people who have viewed the paintings are family members who I take the greatest pride in. They say well done, but what is it exactly? This is where I explain my mind and practice the release of emotions at a calming rate. Finally, deep breathing. All I can say is that clearing the mind to a white blank was harder than I first thought. I found that being mentally blank and focusing on my lungs helped in finding me and how my inner self plays out.

Friendship to me means in-depth truth. If one cannot be truthful, then I cannot plan to trust the other. I look for another to act a lot like me, but not too much, difference counts. They must be honest and not be afraid to tell nothing but their full thoughts. Do not hold back, everyone needs to hear the facts at some point in time, the earlier the better. I do this so do not be caught off guard whether your blood family or just a random person. A friendship is meaningful and holds the influence of self importance. We are social creatures and crave human interaction with the need to care for another and ourselves. If I am there for you, you must hold your end of the deal and be there as well. When I personally view the word friendship, it is a fellow human showing the need of interaction while confronting the honesty of a friend, but also someone to meet with and have a conversation on any subject that is not over the phone or via zoom.

Hello - I am Summer Pullam. Four reasons I believe I should be awarded this scholarship include: past life experiences of dealing with my father, showing what one can develop into, the achievements I have made in school, and my passion and drive. Next each will be explained. Past life experiences of dealing with my father: I always have helped my father in any way I possibly could. He has experienced his fair share of drug addictions and in turn being homeless. He had/has never been able to adapt into real life after his mother's passing. Dad started with a pain pill habit first, then harder drugs of heroin and cocaine, he became homeless, and had a drug induced seizure. Currently, he is clean and lives with his brother, has a girlfriend, and a job. He even wants to attend school to become a chef. Even with needing to find him shelter in the Wisconsin winter, he is dad. I have and will still contact the school to give him every chance he requires to be successful starting after his 47th birthday and change him into a cook. Showing what one can develop into: with one having a developmental disability of transferring from mental health concerns into reality of life after a death, they can always, with faith, change for the better. My father is a great example of one who must have guidance in life to be at his best and this is where I can help him for his wants not needs. The achievements I have made in school: on July 1, 2021, I received my BA in Anthropology with a Psychology Minor. I was accepted into five master degrees: MA Political Psychology, Master Global Education, MA Global Security (Cyber) at Arizona State University Online and the MBA and MS Psychology at Southern New Hampshire University Online. I achieved a BA GPA of 3.894, Summa Latin Honors, three Presidential and three Dean's Lists, two board positions (National Society of Leadership and Success Voter and Titan Volunteers at UW-Oshkosh), and three leadership levels at the National Society of Leadership and Success. My Passion and drive: I have always been one to accomplish at a high level. From Karate State Silver and U.S. National Karate Qualifier at the age of 10 to college. I finished 23 BA classes in 15 months at Southern New Hampshire University with 1 B-, 1 B+, 1 A-, and the others of an A. Currently, I am in the MS Psychology program and next will launch into the Doctorate of Law and Policy at Liberty University Online. If I were to be awarded this scholarship, having and using a psychological background in law and policy will only increase the success of making society a more legal bounding place. Right now, too many negatives are being shown. This must change, but I cannot until the education is received to enter policy analysis and give advice from a law and mental health perspective. I will complete the classes of global terrorism, research methods, cognitive, social, ethical, and neurological psychology,. As well as court and judicial process during the MS. In the end, I will always keep in mind how my father developed during his short 47 years and how the law either makes it too easy or too hard for someone with addictions and disabilities to function to their highest abilities.

Joy to me means inner peace and being able to live a smooth day to day transaction. Different people seek out joy in different ways. As for myself, this includes listening to music, painting, and mainly spending time with me, myself, and I. Music comes in many different formats such as country. My favorite musicians include Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins, Joe Diffie, and Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy. Painting was a hobby I took up in August of 2021 as a distraction and as a therapeutic format. I will admit my paintings are abnormal with blue squid like people surrounded by flowers, sunshine, and colors of pink, blue, and shades of snow. At the end they reflect my inner feelings. Next, is spending time with myself. This includes listening to music and painting, but also reading. I started reading in August 2021 to mirror the therapeutic effects. Reading was never an interest until I found out how much material was required per master course. Since starting in August, I have read over 25 books including Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Pope Francis, Wall Street, current war and World War Two holocaust books. Which World War Two has been a keen influencing factor of seeking out joy.

For myself, giving back was never an consideration but since my cousin took his life on the first day of 2021, I can do nothing put give back to my dear loved ones. Showing how I truly feel is a given gift that was never given before. It is really a personal gift to develop into a better human for others. My mother is 44 and has given her personal world while pushing aside her own life. She moved her heart to take care of me and my brother by herself. She must never again push aside her future and in the meantime, while she works upon life, all I can do is give back. I have controlled my mind by saying thank-you maybe too many times a day, giving her random gifts not only for birthday and Christmas, and pushing her into doing what she wants. Next, would be my grandmother who has held the same job for 40 years while never missing a beat. She actually still loves the work handed to her and has never missed a day. She raised me, her own child, and my brother. She moved her plans to take care of us even after working eight hours. Since my cousins death, I must show her equal respect as my mother by saying thank-you, giving her random gifts that I know makes her happy, and giving her another person she can talk to whenever needed. Just being there she said is a gift (never considered that being there physically is giving back). Love is love and this will never been underrated nor a forgotten tradition. Only time can tell you what family members have been through and reflection is key to understanding the ways of how to give back.

Recently, I have really considered the feelings and love of my dearest family. An event on January 1st of 2021 changed my personal view of the people around me. My dear cousin took his life, he was only 30. I now understand how fast a loved one can be removed from the very soil we walk across everyday. I have very few family members that are seen often. Mainly my mother, grandparents, and sometimes my father. Since I am 24 years old, I now notice all the hassle they went through for me, what life they put aside, and their inner struggles. I always told myself to never repeat most of the actions my family has done, but their own mental and addition habits, no longer matter. I must love and show appreciation to each no matter if one tried to take their own life when I was there at the age of 10. I started my own habit of making the best holidays can be by pushing each and everyone to notice family gatherings are the key to value a fellow human. Even with COVID, we must never push aside love. Even if you must give your grandmother her birthday cake on the steps (cake for birthdays, gifts for all, and saying thank-you nonstop is my new way of showing love). At the end, we all pass away. We must take advantage of each and every moment in reality not behind a screen. Live in and for the moment not forgetting the importance of true love. Who knows the next family gathering one may not be there.

One time I had to persevere through a difficult situation unfolded on January 1, 2021, when my 30 year old cousin took his life. Once a person, especially a close family member, accomplishes their wish of taking their life I felt helpless, angry, consumed by the facts of death, and trying to understand why he could not communicate his thoughts. Just even one call or text might had saved him, but he didn't. Finally in November 2021, I moved away from his death and crying myself to sleep each night convinced I would not wake up nor my mother or bother. He was 30 years old and I am 24. Only 6 years older. The whole year I have been working through my own manic while slipping into bipolar and anxiety. To persevere through this difficult situation I work with two specialists and accomplished more than ever before. Since the start of January I completed my BA Anthropology/Psychology Minor with Latin Honors, accepted into three master programs, started eBay and Etsy selling, applied to over 90 scholarships, over 22 publications on Shutterstock, and started to deeply read and paint. I have finally found inner peace, myself, and who I am not what I am.

I have three simple pleasures in life that make me happy such as reading, painting, and researching the family. Next are the details of each three. Reading: I never enjoyed reading in any context, but I noticed that a master class would require even more hours spent on class materials. So, I picked up all the books I could find and started reading each one. First I found four Nancy Drew books, eight Series of Unfortunate Events, World War Two, Pope Francis, Wall Street, current war stories, etc. Since starting July 23, 2021, I have finished 24 books and will continue this simple pleasure lifelong. Painting: I started painting in July 2021 to work through some mental health issues. I found it strongly therapeutic and is a hobby that will need to be developed. I never had any training in the arts, but I found a new spark of passion no matter how good the paintings look at the end. Spending time researching family: this may be an odd simple pleasure that makes me happy. A few reasons on why it does are as follows: I need to understand who I am not what I am. This included DNA testing, via AncestryDNA, to understand where my father, grandmother, and grandfather came from. Once I fully understand who I am I can "move on" in life. I have deeply looked into family ties, where we came from, and who else I am related to. Many surprising results formed including: first, the Mayflower Edward Doty is a grandfather on my mothers and fathers side; second, Patriot Pastor James Caldwell is a great-uncle on my mothers side and a distant cousin on my fathers side; third, I am cousins to around nine former presidents: Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Franklin Pierce, Grover Cleveland etc.

The biggest problem facing the world right now is misunderstanding. In the climate of what has been 2021, the world is currently being taken control of by misinterpreting words and not having the courage to understand each other. This problem could be due to lack of personal openness, thinking one cannot relate, generation, culture, and/or gender differences. People in the United States more than likely judge without learning the materials. I know this as an Anthropology major. We can develop or work this problem out by introducing ourselves in the format of an interview. Job interviews either make or brake your future life, what sort of income is produced, and how a family is financially and mentally taken care of. When it comes down to it, interviews can determine the life outcome and end. At the end of the day, ones actions might cause the feelings of guilt, anger, why did I not try harder, or what could I have done different and better. One example of misunderstanding is how currently many people are struggling with money. Understanding the world around us changes how one person personally views a second. Would you like another to misunderstand how you feel every moment of every day? Or would you like to had produced an open line of communication? Personally, a open line of understanding is preferred. Although, this mindset can vary greatly between each and every individual. It can be noted that each person has their own way of thinking and how society should be ran. These thoughts of either successes or failures, impact whether or not a mind is over ran by misunderstanding the common normality of life.

What does financial freedom mean to me? Of course inner peace. In this world today people are often challenged daily on what is the best course of action. This often includes college and how far a student should proceed with their studies. As for myself, a bachelor degree has been completed, a master degree is in progress, and a doctorate will be entered into right after the master degree is done. This plan does seem a little off or far away from the definition of financial freedom and the fact of later inner peace. Do these two concepts mean student debt is just a requirement today? Well, if you ask the right person, it is yes. Such as going for a doctorate (PhD, MD, DBA, etc.) and understanding that the future money made in ones ideal career will easily repay the student loans carried over after their graduation. In 2021 most employers look for the most qualified individuals and this often includes the most knowledgeable degree one has to offer. A degree in Law and Policy would do just such. I am looking to enter the field of politics and work within the analysis of policy. Understanding how the overall government runs, makes the way society is ran. I know that at some point in the future I will be involved in a life changing policy situation, although, I must acquire the tools first. This must include having no debt to make a successful single focused life for myself and my future family. Now, most people are unsure where to start when it comes to paying for their college education. Really, is it almost always the right option to charge student loan debt upon yourself? Or, is it best to reset your educational and career goals to explore all formats given to reduce the cost of studies? Fortunately, or unfortunately for some anyway, submitting and writing over 70 scholarships and grants has been accomplished since graduating with my BA in Anthropology and Psychology Minor on July 1, 2021. I completely understand this could be seen as over doing it. At the end 'maybe just maybe' one scholarship could develop into a successful situation that highly contributes into the development of financial freedom then inner peace. In the near time, it will be many years and long days with hours of work to achieve my goals written in this essay. At the end, life will redirect towards the sunshine and become clearer at days end. The past will be learning curves and show the roads to success.

In this complex year of 2021, I showed up for the individual of my father who was suffering extreme mental and physical health side effects from his own sisters sons suicide on January 1 of 2021. Dad has had his troubles in the past including drug addition to anything he could get his hands on and in-turn developed homelessness habits. It is unfortunate to say his troubles were voiced as a habit, but that is what the outsider can see. Since his mother passed (he was the one who found her) he dealt with eight years of living on the streets because he could not handle his reality. Sometimes I have issues believing my life is real and what I should even being doing with it. I noticed that a life can be done at any second of any day. This hit home when he wanted his suicide attempt to end successfully. Again, it is unfortunate I must mention such, I was there when he attempted. I remember clearly that it was after midnight, he came out of the bathroom, said he took almost 30 sleeping pills, and requested to be taken to the hospital. So, grandma called 911. The 10 year old me could not understand the happenings and why he did not come back until 1 p.m. the next day. I guess he went out to do more drugs. After he picked homelessness over his kids, I cut him out of my life, never answered his phone calls, and avoided him at all costs. I had a change of heart in 2021, 10 years later and aged 24. After (not going to say his name out of respect) took his life at 30, dad panicked and I felt the need to talk and get to know dad before he would be dead. His medical issues started aged 47 when proteins were released from his heart into his bloodstream. If not treated, this issue could be deadly. He has also noted that he feels another stroke will appear. Doctors say it is Covid-19. He has tested negative each time. He also experienced anxiety attacks and depression panic. I finally showed up for this individual by answering each phone call and making sure to talk with him about anything for at least five minutes. Reconnecting has never been more important after experiencing the year of 2021. I would have to say that a soft heart has formed. I give him advise and am another person he can always talk to to work through anything he must communicate. After all, he is dad and that will never change! Thank you!

Since my cousin took his life at the age of 30 on January 1, 2021, I learned the value of having and using more flares of passion. I never understood how short life really is and how you and your family can pass away within any second of the day. Will one of us not wake up in the next daylight? How would I react if I found a family member such as my mother or brother dead? Are just two questions. The underlying passion was noticed in 2021 after his death. I took advantage of every mention of being able to further my life. Such examples include: restarting and finishing my BA in Anthropology and Psychology Minor, ending up in a Master program, applying for 71 scholarships for future student loan freedom, applying to over 46 journals to hopefully publish my personal arts, listing over 90 items on eBay, taking advantage of the stock market, and having one publication on Shutterstock (so far).

Well, I am not sure how to start this essay. I guess my mental health has been impacted by my father and his actions all throughout my life. The key starting point would be him trying to be successful in overdosing and no longer being on earth. I was there and aged 10. Since then I have had to deal with his drug addiction and in turn his homelessness. It is unknown what mental health issues he has suffered with, but whatever they are does not dismiss dads actions. It even got to the point that he had a stroke from drugs, although I will say he never learned from this experience. I do believe I have no hope for a clear life from environmental induced bipolar with bouts of depression and anxiety. This is depressing as medication does not seem to be helpful, but some sort of treatment is required. (Sorry for your loss, I somewhat understand why, my family member did the same on January 1, 2021). No true relationships have taken place and I have never seen why another is required. Being 24 now, I regret not having any close relationships and now have trouble overcoming the hurdles of how to even start a conversation. Let alone maintain one. One belief from my experience with mental health and family is coming to the conclusion that the words "I love you" have never been spoken from any family member -mom, dad, grandma, grandpa-. Maybe they never experienced these words themselves. Life requires commitment and even giving tiny praise helps a person feel accomplished. As an adult I have noticed that my belief in trust is no longer applied. Mother turned out to be addicted to pain medications, dad a drug addict who was a homeless person, grandma has been a vodka drinker for over 40 years-same with her father and grandfather-, grandpa has his wife and we never saw/see him because of her, my brother has been more abusive then not and can be scared to even approach him. Over the years nothing changed, although I can change my own destiny. In 2021, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with a Psychology Minor. All I could think about this year was my cousin who left earth on January 1, 2021 (what a way to start the new year). I was proud to receive a GPA of 3.89, Highest Latin Honors, and highest level of membership at the National Society of Leadership and Success, etc. As well with the results of five master acceptances with three being at Arizona State University and the other two at Southern New Hampshire University. To build a career I must work on myself and understand what full bipolar is, how my mind works, and how to roll with depression and social anxiety. Meeting with a counselor has made me find a future life in government and ways to live in the moment such as starting to read, learning Serbian, restart Mixed Martial Arts, and learning how to successfully paint in my own fashion. Long essay, but thank you, it was nice to write the said words above.

"Live your own life to the best of its abilities, but never forget your true inner foundations". This is the one sentence I would share with the world. Living your own life the way you want to, one will never forget the process nor regret their own actions. At the end of the day, each person concludes their own. Sometimes, or often, a different person can influence others thoughts and actions. Although, never forgetting ones true inner foundations and beliefs will help you break away from the influenced mindset and their weaknesses in society. You may think you have too many barriers to function, but these are mental functions that will be changed with your own willpower. To conclude: you have more abilities than you know. One must never forget your inner foundations that build your mental wiring (foundations). Living the way you want will bring joy long term and short term.

What motivates me on a daily basis? - the fact that my cousin committed suicide on January 1, 2021. Once I found out that he "did what he did", it changed not only my life but every other family member involved in his lifetime. At the end, we will never understand the whys of his actions and why he did not reach out for help. After his death, I noticed that life ends at each second and I must do everything I can in one and this only lifetime. The family will never know when one will pass or even their age (30?). Since somewhat in recovery, although with panic attacks and depression, I completed my BA in Anthropology with highest honors, three presidential lists, five master acceptances, and three leadership levels in the National Society of Leadership and Success. I know he is proud of every accomplishment in the year of 2021, but these knowings will never fulfill the true motivations of life.

The turnaround story that I am proud of is bouncing back from my close cousins suicide on January 1 of this year. At the time, we had no clue, or any warning, that he was about to do what he did and that was ending his life at 30 years old on January 1, 2021. I remember clearly, it was 5 p.m. and my father called saying that "----" committed suicide. Everyone, including myself, did not handle his untimely death well and still to this day, everyone in the family are heartbroken, angry, and misunderstood as to why. Since the event, I learned that one (me) can pass away unknowingly at any age, I pushed that perspective onto myself and said "I will not waste any more minutes given on Earth!". I have now completed my Anthropology BA (know he's proud), got a 3.89 GPA, five master acceptances (three at Arizona State University and two at Southern New Hampshire University), Latin Honors Summa, and debt free going into my MBA.

That one investing tip is to be open with the new raging market. Since I started reinvesting in to different stocks, I have learned that patience is key. Stocks, and their outcomes, do their own magic, or harm, depending on how the world is currently functioning. In late 2021, the investment market has been on an roller-coaster of a ride, since Covid-19 is still intact. For example, during one week my total stock amount / power was just over $309.00, but around just a week later, it was below $278.00. This is just one example of why investing your own money can become a hassle when consider in the short-term. Having patience with the ever changing options to invest in will bring great rewards 20, 30, or even 40 years from now. But the question is: will a person be able to handle losing $30.00+ in a week of their money, or will they panic and decide investing is not in their nature. Think of it as a retirement fund and items that can be cashed when required in the long-term. I will admit, the first time around I experienced high panic and pulled out.

My favorite scientific discovery is the product of film by Thomas Edison. Why so? Because society today in 2021 cannot live without the use of film that is shown on all our TVs since the founding of silent films in the 1800s. It is safe to say that they dominate our life, nowadays, most productions and directors are unforgettable. Fortunately, film has produced great works such as Gone With the Wind, the Wizard of Oz, The Bond Series, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Edison's' (1910) Frankenstein. Thomas Edison made many life changing inventions, but he also had many different passions that some people may not know about. Some items include Thomas Edison producing his own silent films with his own film inventions. Three of his most popular and well known films that he granted us with are the (1899) Bicycle Trick Riding No.2, (1901) The Trick Cyclist, the (1910) Frankenstein film, and the (1914) The Patchwork Girl of Oz.

I am a little biased when it comes to family, it is Thomas Edison. Why is he admired from history: not only is Thomas Edison a cousin through my grandfather, but he is one of the most well know inventors in history. Not only had he invented items such as the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, film, kinetoscope, carbon microphone, and electric power distribution, etc., he changed society as we known it. Edison also introduced the likes of Nikola Tesla, and many more. Without the works of both Tesla and Edison, everyone would be living a whole different 2021. It could be noted that some of their developments have since been updated and worked upon by many different, but few people. It is often debated who was better- Edison or Tesla. To myself, Edison introduced us to the life of Tesla and AC could, more than likely, be unknown if he did not receive the help from a man (business man) of Thomas. Questions- How could we function without film? What about the incandescent light bulb: how/would we use light? How could society function without AC? How could we function without the use of electric power distribution? Could another person invent such items after their deaths? Or would that be impossible without their geniuses? *I do want to add that my Thomas Chapman was born after Edison in 1850 not 1847, so it can be said that Edison influenced my grandfather. My grandfather helped bring to life the family business of the butchery, the shop, and the family ran restaurant. Looking at my family tree, Thomas Chapman was 4th cousin to Edison via the way of Abner Matthews my 9th great-grandfather.

I completed my BA Anthropology with a Psychology Minor at Southern New Hampshire University in July 2021. Accomplished was three Presidential Lists, GPA of 3.89, and Summa Cum Laude. I have moved on to the MBA Finance program at SNHU as well. Attached is the cover diploma representing the SNHU logo. It took 6 years to receive the degree, but was well worth my future.

This is French Fry. He is about 12 years old and is a rescued Australian Cattle dog mix. French Fry was brought home from the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Humane Society. We do not know too much about his background bedsides that the family before had children who thought he looked like the food french fry. He was also abused by this family and has a dark spot on his eye, but we got him by the age of 2.

Generosity means following your own code of conduct, morals, and ethics. To myself, if one cannot live by what their heart and mind is saying, one cannot function as a generous person in todays society. I often find it interesting how my three most important self concepts are 1) hold the door open, 2) say "thank you", 3) do not lie. If these three codes of conduct: moral and ethical can be followed, people will show a different level of respect, I know I do. By holding the door open, I feel like the other person has less worry as I am stepping aside to have the other person deal with less hassle. Especially when they have their hands full. The second concept is say "thank you". To myself, this is the most important way to show respect and generosity to others. Even if the person just works at the front desk. Often the other person is surprised when I first say "thank you" as if they do not hear those two words too often. This is sad, really. If a person goes out of their way by just being there, enjoy their generosity too. The third concept is do not lie. This is key as one cannot get far in life by not telling the truth. It is easy to know when someone is lying, but it is frustrating when they deny that they are lying. Often, these people have to cover one lie after another and this has to be hard work and overwhelming. Why not just tell the truth and eliminate this life hassle? Would it not make life easier.

My personal experience with mental health includes depression, anxiety, psychosis, and possible autism. All four disorders have shaped my goals, relationships, and understanding of the world in a few ways. First, goals. My goal was always to attend a school in-person, but this did not turn out well. While in the dorms at a University of Wisconsin campus my anxiety and depression was at an all time high. The voices of the people around me made me wonder if those people were talking about me, since the other people in the dorms would talk all hours of the night. Often, I just needed it to be silent. So I dropped out. Second, relationships. All my relationships have failed. Due to the possible autism I ask too many questions and the other just does not respond. I do not have a great relationship with family as I keep away from others due to not wanting to get anxiety, depression from seeing them, and knowing I was once rejected. Will I be again? Third, understanding the world. I have realized that I cannot communicate with others and this concern ruins everything. Since I have no person interaction, depression, anxiety, and even psychosis starts up. It can be hard to readjust to society and I often can loose years of my life at a time. Once I can break away from the psychosis, I can succeed such as receiving my BA Anthropology with Summa GPA 3.894, being accepted to five masters (three before graduation), becoming debt free from student loans before graduation, and making my own single company.

To start, I was born in 1997. My great-grandfather committed suicide in 1995, while his dad did the same in 1977. Since I was born afterwards, I could only see how the two taking their lives impacted family members. One such example is my grandma who has been a "functioning" drinker for over 30 years. It is hard to say, since it was her father and grandfather, how her drinking has impacted her bodily organs. Will she die sooner than later? Is the question. It was not until January 1, 2021, when my cousin, at the age of 30, committed suicide as well. From his actions, I have dealt with the guilt of not being there to stop him. Everyone I know has anger towards him because he had a son aged 13 and he had every support in the world to step away. I will admit, I will never forgive myself for the fact I was not there to stop him and at how "selfish" he really was. Sometimes you must first consider others. After my cousin did what he did, I had a new awaking inside with the realization of how anyone and everyone you know will die. Including you. Either from natural causes or themselves. The focus of what matters most in life, and to fight to achieve, is personal selfishness development. I have a fighter in me as I made Karate State Silver and U.S.A. National Qualification at age 10 in 2008. What I mean by personal selfishness development is taking and working with everything I can put my hands on. This currently includes receiving my Anthropology bachelors with Summa GPA 3.894, being accepted into five masters (three before graduation), and becoming debt free before graduation. In the meantime, selling World War Two items on eBay and Esty, painting and selling canvas products for pay, submitting the arts into journals and online websites for possible publication, and printing my own products for my website. When it comes down to it, I must support my future and current family in all aspects of life. From physical, emotional, and even respect. At some point, I must accept that their deaths were a fight to achieve what they were thinking and accomplishing their focus. This could be a lesson or I can completely "forget" about their ways and only remember them every anniversary of every year until I pass myself. You (I) can always hold anger but never let that anger hold back your fight and most importantly, your goals. Achieve everything you can think of in your dreams and in common day normality. Focus to fight on personal improvements and everything will fall into your lap when gifted.

I stay true to myself in daily life in a few different ways. One way is going and doing the things that will get me somewhere far in life. Here, I mean, getting a education of a MBA and going after a DBA and DPA. The second way is trying everything to get my name out there. This includes selling and displaying my paintings in the local community, selling World War Two items on eBay and ESTY, selling handmade items (magnets and cards) online, and applying for 15 journals and online website applications to display my art and poems. Another way I stay true to myself in daily life is trying to pay off all student loans before they even start. The idea of paying off student loans fast includes the steps of applying for almost 50 scholarships, using the money from selling on eBay and ESTY for student loans, and using the money given from selling my arts on the loans as well. Another way to stay true to myself is by telling the truth. Right now a quarter life "crises" is occurring and the fact of not being able to forgive why we die. Is death just a new level of life like birth? Or is it just unreasonable to a 24-year-old who is too young to be honest and tell the truth to myself that everyone I know will pass sooner than later. (Really, the next coming decades). Is this being true to myself in daily life?

One experience that has shaped a part of who I am today was participating is the National Society of Leadership and Success. For the NSLS I did a community service initiative of helping my mother with household needs. She has fibromyalgia which is overall bodily pain. She has dealt with the disorder of fibromyalgia for 12 years and has issues with certain life concerns. I decided that, since COVID-19 was around, that helping the one who raised me was the right option. She took some many life risks to raise me and my brother. Often, she has never been given the greatness she gave. By offering to help in her general life, was a great pleasure and will never be forgotten. Deciding to help a family member (mom), to me, is more of an incentive then helping general community members, especially in the year of 2020 and even into the year of 2021. I also helped her because I was experiencing fibromyalgia symptoms at the time. I was later diagnosed in April 2021 at 23-years-old. Learning from her first-hand experience, really helped for the hit of reality and how the overall bodily pain takes hold.

For some people being or becoming a highly influential figure can be a dream. Or even be on the level of mythology. It is clear that I stand for a difference in life, but often another does not agree with the said opinions of my own. Personally, if I were a highly influential figure I would consider that I must be much older than 24-years-old and have much more life experience under my belt. Although, if I were to become any sort of influential, the main thing that I would stand for is to remind your own self that you only live once and you must (correctly) live life. Not only for your own benefits, but for each and every person you meet/met. Life is all too short and people pass away everyday and even some you knew. One must stand for taking advantage of every option received. To some this could be viewed as overwhelming, but trust me it is actually not! We live second to second, day to day. One must live like they are going to die tomorrow and reflect at bedtime whether you are 100% satisfied with your current life actions. Ask yourself, in that moment, if its possible that you can come up with (think) one thing you would change when you wake. Would you experience more passion and energy, or the want of more life experience to meet the goal you set before going to sleep? To end, overthinking is the key to life and one cannot live without over-considering each step they move or how many times one toss-and-turns during the night.

To be independent is truly meaningful to different people in different ways. As does the same with its impacts for each and every person. As for myself, the meaning of "independent" is a way and avenue of having full financial freedom from student loan debt. Or simply being debt free from student loans. This, personally, is impactful as I can feel confident to finally move into the next level of life. Some of my avenues of being debt free in the next levels of life include: finding a wonderful career, moving into a wonderful long-lasting home, having a wonderful family, and being able to support the people I love in all aspects of life. Both financially and emotionally! Impacts are life changing for everyone involved, not only yourself. It can be said that the conclusion of "independent", while dealing with its impacts, is knowing that you matter and the people you surround yourself with can trust you, know and understand you, and can openly come to you when required without the end result of being turned down for a later date.

What inspired my #Back2SchoolBold moment? Selling on eBay and Esty, building my own website, and trading in the stock market. I have decided to head into a MBA Finance degree at 24 years old to start, develop, and advance business knowledge in many different aspects of life. These aspects of life include personal and financial development. Right now income is low and my dream is to have financial freedom before 35. No worries in life are key! As well as highly enjoyable! I do strongly understand that going for any college degree costs thousands of dollars, but this is not a unquestionable reason to hinder any current and future opportunities. Including paying off graduate school shortly after graduation and to finish those current loans midway through the doctorate in business aspects or public administration.

The quote that means a lot to me is a personal made one and is as follows- "Elements reach us in abstract ways, day after day we turn and struggle in a contract of control, but within us ravens, any astrological space is possible" The above quote is special because I have been pondering the deeper meaning of life. I will be honest, this makes me afraid of future anytime death. By writing the above quote it reflects how I currently and have been feeling. To me, it feels as if I struggle day after day under an unknown control that brings the thoughts of possible and very real death. After consideration about the meaning of life, we all have been here or will be, but anything is possible even when it seems life is short. Found key in life- Believe and It Will Be Done By Days End!
