If I had $1,000 right now, I would use it to pay for my tuition fee since I came from a low-income family. I am currently searching for more scholarships to fund my tuition fee. If I win the $1,000 right now, I would be the happiest. Rest assured that this money would be put to good use.

I currently have Depression and Anxiety. My lowest point was the year 2018 wherein I struggled the most. That experience has greatly affected my life, specifically my academics. During that time, I was losing hope and interest in the things I loved. I was just at my lowest. I stopped going to classes and got easily distracted. Every day is a struggle. With this experience, I have come to realize that you are not alone in your battles. There will always be someone that will love, support, and guide you. Even if it's difficult, you just have to reach out. I am fortunate enough to have supportive family and friends. They helped me build up my confidence again. I have also come to understand that even if you have family and friends, you also have to help yourself no matter how hard it is.
