WCEJ Thornton Foundation Low-Income Scholarship
My past is not the best. At the age of 3, my parents divorced. Adjusting to separate single parent household was difficult to say the least. At the age of 4 during a trip to visit my family, my sister and I was molested and raped by my paternal uncle. My father’s side shunned us from that point forward, leaving us to fend for ourselves. I have been a black sheep of the family for a long time with so support from either side of my family.
At the age of 9, my mother took a black trash bag, filled it with as much of my sister’s and I’s clothes, and dropped us off on my father’s porch, alone. We watched her as she drove away, silently wondering what this all meant. Everything was moving so fast and we couldn’t keep up. Only a few months later, my mother would commit suicide. She left behind four children. We were all separated. My sister and I went with my father. My half siblings went with theirs. After the big move, my father started beating us and treated us like slaves while we lived with him. In 7th grade, it became too much for me to handle. I felt so sad and alone. I started cutting myself and tried to commit suicide over 20 times. I didn’t want to live anymore. I kept pushing to get out and leave. I found solace in school. My junior year, we moved from by home state of Florida to Texas. At the age of 18, I was kicked out of the house for defending my younger sisters from my father’s abuse. Being homeless, furthering my education was not an option. I had to focus on survival.
Time has since passed and I decided to pursue my dreams to help others by being a nurse. There are many who pass by you each and every day that have their own struggles behind their bright smiles. I have seen my fair share of suffering and want others to understand that there are people who care and want the best for them, I want to do something that makes me proud to serve my community. I want to give my all to those who need it the most. Life is hard and full of struggles, especially for those who have little to no access to healthcare because of odds that are against them. I want to be the change.
