"We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants." -Hillary Clinton I was born in Lagos Nigeria I came to the united states when I was 12 years old. My parents have always taught me that hard work is essential to success. I didn't realize how serious being undocumented was until I started applying to four-year colleges. Even though I graduated high school with a 3.2 overall grade point average, I was unable to attend the same colleges as my peers due to a lack of a social security number. As a result, my college opportunities were minimal. As an undocumented student, I had to begin my education at a community college due to the unavailability of financial aid. Even though I had no alternative but to attend a community college, I wanted to make the best of my limited options. I have recently become a permanent resident this year so now I finally have the opportunity to go to a four-year university. Since they were born in Nigeria and had limited schooling, my parents pushed me to prioritize education. Because of this limitation, I learned to take everything I do seriously and to give it my all to complete activities like founding the Black student union at my community college in my freshman year. Before starting this club, I made a vision for it so that I could properly organize my duties as a leader. In college, I've done much better academically and socially than I did in high school. That's because the journey isn't repetitive. I have new tasks to finish, exams to prepare for, and things to carry out every week. My major is information technology. My dream job will be to work for Microsoft, IBM, Apple, or another growing software company. Technology is the way of the future, and by the time I graduate, the industry will be much bigger. My summer internships will provide me with valuable experience as I prepare for my first full-time job when graduating in the spring of 2023. I'm prepared to work as an Information Security Analyst, gaining experience in the field and moving up the corporate ladder. I have been in a couple of coding programs such as girls who code And also kode with klossy both of these organizations create learning experiences and opportunities for young women that increase their confidence and inspire them to pursue their passions in a technology-driven world. Being a woman in stem is already hard, to begin with, but being a black woman in stem is a whole new obstacle I have to overcome. Black women in the industry have been at the forefront of developing solutions, both advocating for and implementing reform within corporations. I'm applying for this scholarship to help me complete the final two years of my bachelor's degree. I need extra financial assistance to fund the remaining expenses of my education. I appreciate your consideration, and I hope you will be able to assist me in pursuing a career in information technology. This is my dream, and I've devised a strategy to transform it into a lifetime career.

I started out life as a pretty low achiever. My father always tried to hide my low aptitude from me as not to cause me to feel bad. But I always knew how smart my brother, who was in the gifted program, was and how not smart I was. Early in school, I struggled with math, and by first grade when children were divided into high, medium, and low skill for subjects like math and reading, I was placed in the low group. Believing I was dumb was simply reinforced by continued low grades in math. I remained in low math in first, second, third, and fourth grade. One day, halfway into the school year I get a note sent home that my math teacher, Mrs. Brown, would like to meet with my parents. My parents were divorced by then so my mother came alone. She went in to speak privately with Mrs. Brown while I sat in the hall waiting. While I definitely struggled with school in general, I wasn’t a bad kid. Having a father who works in the school district sort of forces you to “act right”. So I was wracking my brain trying to recall what I could have done to warrant an after-school conference. Finally, my mother stepped out of the room, and as she walked me to the car, shared she was taking me for ice cream. She said Mrs. Brown thought I should be moved to the middle math group, mid-year, which didn’t really ever happen. So I was then in middle math the rest of fourth grade and then moved into high math the next year. I took high school math in seventh & eighth grade and continued on to finish math classes by my sophomore year. Now, I was certainly no genius, but in the end, I wasn’t dumb either. I just needed a teacher who believed in me and told me I was smart. I am utterly convinced that this woman changed the direction of my life in a seriously profound way. Simply encouraging me to move into the middle math group in fourth grade gave me this swell of confidence that made me engage in learning. Without this woman, I would have continued to feel dumb throughout school which I’m sure would have drastically limited how far I reached in life. I have tried several times to find this angel of a teacher, but my efforts have always stalled. If you’re out there, Mrs. Donna Brown of New Carrollton, Maryland, thank you. From the deepest part of my heart, I will never forget the impact you had on me, and my life is forever changed due to you.

My favorite all-time movie is Shawshank Redemption. This movie is just pure, cinematic gold. It’s about Andy Dufresne, a banker who is sent to prison for life for murder but told from the point of view of Ellis “Red” Redding, the guy who can get you most anything in prison. He forms a friendship with Andy and you get to see what it is he learns from Andy. Not everything is as it seems with the two but the character development, pacing, and story are amazing. What more positive things can I say about this movie that hasn’t already been said. It’s considered by MANY to be one of the greatest movies ever filmed. Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins are simply incredible in this film, During his time there, he befriends several of the inmates and makes a lasting impact in each of their lives. If you’ve never seen this film. you’re only doing yourself an injustice. Do yourself a favor, and watch it.

"We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants."-Hillary Clinton I was born in Lagos Nigeria I came to the united states when I was 12 years old. My parents have always taught me that hard work is essential to success. I didn't realize how serious being undocumented was until I started applying to four-year colleges. Even though I graduated high school with a 3.2 overall grade point average, I was unable to attend the same colleges as my peers due to a lack of a social security number. As a result, my college opportunities were minimal. As an undocumented student, I had to begin my education at a community college due to the unavailability of financial aid. Even though I had no alternative but to attend a community college, I wanted to make the best of my limited options. I have recently become a permanent resident this year so now I finally have the opportunity to go to a four-year university. Since they were born in Nigeria and had limited schooling, my parents pushed me to prioritize education. Because of this limitation, I learned to take everything I do seriously and to give it my all to complete activities like founding the Black student union at my community college in my freshman year. Before starting this club, I made a vision for it so that I could properly organize my duties as a leader. As a leader and an individual, the more interested I got, the more I understood.
