Hello!
My name is Zufan Haftu. Growing up in a rural area with no internet, electricity, transportation, clean water, and food has taught me to be a problem solver. Since my childhood, my passion becomes technology. With technology, I would be able to help the community where I grew up and another place with a similar problem. My goal is to create a technology that is easier to use and more effective for individual and professional workers. I believe every person deserves an education. So, I want every person to get an education without concern that they do not have sophisticated technology.
Having a passion for technology and helping my community is one of my precious gifts. It gives me the courage and hopes that one day I will serve my community wholeheartedly and make it easier life for the community. Moreover, It helps me through my whole life problems. I know what it means to be a problem solver. I know when to take a risk and how to manage and change direction when things are not working well.

Chris Jackson Computer Science Education Scholarship
I have grown up in a small village where there are no internet and transportation. Students under eighteen must walk more than six miles to finish high school. For that reason, most children stop going to school. Growing up in this environment makes me think I must finish school and do something. My interest in learning technology and helping my village sets in my mind from an early age. I want the village to get access to electricity, internet, and transportation. So, children can get access to education because they are the next leaders. After moving to another city to get a high school diploma, I got the opportunity to learn about IT basics. The class only offered one period a week and one computer for five students. However, my passion for computers increases day by day and wondering how the system works. After many years I was able to come to the United States.
I started pushing myself to pursue my dream job. After three years, I was able to speak and write well. I finished my GED in 2019. Also, I started learning other online classes while taking full-time classes with Volunteer State Community College and working part-time to fulfill family duties. I have got a certificate in Introduction to Code and still pursuing Front End Development. However, as I am going to a four-year college my income is not enough, because I am the only one living in the United States and responsible for helping my family. I want to focus on school while working part-time. However, with the family responsibility and college expenses, I came to a point where I must stop either school or family. I know family is a top priority for me. On the other hand, I do not want to stop my dream job of becoming a professional computer science and getting a master’s degree in cyber security.
Getting this scholarship will help me finish my bachelor's in computer science and pursue a master's degree in cyber security. After finishing my bachelor’s degree in computer science, I will be able to create an app that can help children get access to education. It will also help me continue learning about cyber security. Therefore, these children can help themselves and their families. Many people cannot read and write. So, I want to be a founder of a company that can help children and adults to learn. Also, after finishing my master’s degree in cyber security I want to bring a mothed that can help people secure their privacy. As technology increases, our privacy can be at risk if we do not know to protect personal information. I will work myself to protect individual privacy. Moreover, if I get this scholarship, it will help me fulfill my family responsibility.
Hasanovic American Dream Scholarship
Growing up rural area with no internet and electricity, getting the opportunity to learn about technology was hard. However, my passion for computers increases day by day and wondering how the system works. At first, I did not find it easy to live in America due to expenses and family responsibilities. Moreover, being a second language was such a difficult thing. I barely heard and spoke English at the time, so the idea of going to college was out of my mind.
However, I find the technology that will support me to succeed. I thought this was such a blessing, so I pushed myself to learn English and pursue my dream job. I started my GED in 2018 and finished in 2019. In 2019, I was awarded a student of the year for the highest score in maths and was able to attend Volunteer State Community College in 2020 with a score of SAT 275 in maths.
Loving technology was one of my precious gifts. It helps me through my whole life problems. I love solving problems and approaching them from a different perspective. Right now, I can make my design and use my creativity through coding. However, many people out there need my help with technology. Now, I am in a 2-year college computer science degree and looking forward to finishing my bachelor's degree in computer science. So I can help create apps that can help them get information and communicate with the rest of the world.

I am aperson who likes to challenge things and love to be creative. I have been in the United States for five years. I have been joked that I could not learn coding or major Computer Science. However, this did not stop me. I have started learning from the bottom by going to Ged in 2018. I have finished my Ged in 2019 and award for scoring the highest in maths test.
Then, I started college in 2020 with SAT 275 on maths. I was a person who could not write one full sentence and does not know how to code. However, after try and error I am able to write as u can see now. Also, I have got a certificate for coding, and for The National Society of Leadership and Sucess
For me being good at maths and loving maths has been one of the best advantage for me. Maths is not like any other subject. It helps me to understand how to solve other problems. Moreover, it helps me not to afraid problems. In maths if I do not get the right answer, I would approach by using a different formula, which helps for my whole problem in life. If I get stuck in any thing, I would look another idea to solve my problem. I would never get stressed that I did not get the right answer right away. Instead, I love being challenged by the question.
Not only that, I would solve equation when I get board studying other subject. Moreover, maths has been one of the advantage for me to major on computer science. It helps me to understand what it means to solve a problem. I have learn to calm when things get hard and use another mothed.
Now, I am not only able to code, but I am able to use maths for my code and create new design. I believe maths is fundamental for business, technology, philosophy, and many other things.
