Bio

Hello, my name is Zofia (Zosia) Wasylewski. I am an optimistic high school graduate of the Class of 2023 and, as of recently, I am also an alumna of North Central Michigan College. I hold an Associate of General Studies and am a new transfer student at Northern Michigan University. I will be continuing my education there to soon hold a Bachelor of Science in biology. Over the years, I have been honored to stand at the top of my high school class as valedictorian and class president. In college, I have also participated in several leadership clubs, such as the student senate and Phi Theta Kappa, all while undertaking a heavy courseload each semester to complete my associate's degree sooner. As such, peers and adults alike have affirmed my abilities in leadership, attentiveness, and being goal-oriented and passion-driven. What sets me apart from the rest is my no-strings-attached involvement in school, my community, and with my friends and family. This has included - but is not limited to - being president of the student council, president of the National Honor Society, and a very active youth group member. This being said, I never participate in the things I do for the recognition - I do it for my zeal for each of them. My lifetime goal is to continue my involvement and lead a fulfilling life of service. College is my gateway path toward accomplishing my goal. I actively plan to use my skills and become educated to serve people in the underemployed medical field, and I will work hard to get to that point. I appreciate your consideration!

Since my beginning, I've been constantly surrounded by involvement. My parents were not only hard-working in their jobs, but they also modeled how active one can be in their own community. From faith-based involvement to local government positions, my parents always dedicated their time and abilities to others. My childhood has been heavily rooted in experiencing what being well-rounded looks like; unsurprisingly, I grew to think it was standard to be rooted so deeply in everything. Much of my high school years were spent playing nearly every sport available and organizing school events for the benefit of my peers while staying true to my academic responsibilities. Outside of school walls, I am actively involved in my youth group, working both in soup kitchens and local nursing homes. My participation in these activities has instilled in me my own sense of involvement. I realized my all-time goal is to lead a fulfilling life of service. I considered this to begin after high school, but if I am to continue pursuing my goal in the future, where am I supposed to plant my adult feet? After rare health complications in my early teenage years, I found myself in the hospital for some time. It was there that I got to watch passionate nurses and doctors be so dedicated to their patients. It was there that I fell in love with the environment and the depth of involvement. It was there that I realized I wanted to become a health professional. Medicine has held my heart for years now, and at long last, I have an idea of what I can do to fulfill my dream of serving others. My gateway path is college, a place where I know I already flourish through my experience of dual enrollment. After my time in college, I plan to continue onto med school, where I will deepen my ability to truly serve others through healthcare. Although I am very committed to pursuing my goal, the privilege of going to college does not come without a cost, particularly attending med school. I have decided to begin my college journey by attending North Central Michigan College in the fall of 2023 to earn my associate's degree, as it makes the most sense for me financially. Paying for college is a task I must conquer by myself, and I hope to afford a post-secondary education without going into debt. This is why I am applying for scholarships to fund my education. I believe earning a scholarship will not only allow me to simply pay for my upcoming fall and winter term classes but will also strengthen my ability to pursue an education that will help me better serve others. I am a passionate student, and I am certain that any scholarship will make a significant contribution to my involvement in continuing my education. I will continue to be dedicated to my studies and, for that reason, believe myself to be a great scholarship candidate. I appreciate your consideration!
