An opportunity is something every person seeks in order to assist in carving the pathway of success in their lives. Whether it's an opportunity at a fortune 100 business or an opportunity to participate in a professional sports league, an opportunity must be presented in order to continue and showcase your abilities to arrive at such goals. Although we create our own opportunities, there may be some circumstances that can really affect such a journey and can cause the goal we intend to reach to be stretched or delayed. As a high school senior with a 4.4 GPA, being able to pay the out of pocket tuition is a bit difficult as neither my biological parents or step parent will be able to provide support in paying my tuition. The reason why neither will be supporting me is because my biological parents have left my life and do not intend to see me again, and I am now left with the only family I have, a stepmother who makes only enough for groceries, rent, and bills. All my life I've worked extremely hard for the best opportunity that is presented and that would have the ability to extend my chances of success in my future career path, as well as my dreams to be a professional American football player. As I graduate high school, the next step would to continue both my athletic and academic career in college. College was always something that excited me, mainly due to the fact that it is a different learning, social, and athletic environment to be in. From my freshman to Junior year, I participated in a total of 8 College classes and 1 AP class. These classes gave me an insight on how the workload and learning would be similar in college, being both fun and challenging in equal proportions. College Football was also a major interest for me, as it is much more challenging and involved in college. It is also the only way to be able to participate in a professional league whether it's Overseas or in the United States. As much as am in love with attending College and not only obtaining the opportunities needed to attain both my goal and dreams, the financial struggle creates an obstacle that obstructs my path. However, If I was awarded this generous scholarship, it would mean that I would be able to obtain such opportunities and eventually get to all my goals to succeed. It definitely would be a very emotional moment that I would carry for years on, for it would the reason I make all these dreams I've had for a long time come true. It would impact my life in so many ways, from removing the obstacle of financial trouble to being the reason I would go to college and be the first person in my family to obtain a college degree. Overall, Obtaining this Scholarship would me an opportunity for me to succeed not only in my career, but in my lifetime as well. Awarding me this scholarship would not only erase an obstacle from my journey, but give the opportunity to someone who desires to help others in the field of sports medicine and inspire others on the Football field.

Ever since I was 10, Monopoly was one of my favorite games to play because I felt like a powerful person who knew how to make money and always ended up winning most of the time due to my strategies. I would buy out two sides of the board while also planting hotels in order to profit more from my land. As I grew older, I started to instead observe patterns in which places the other players would frequently land and invest into the property in order to profit from them. Additionally, my spark of interest in the general field of business was then created shortly after. Business is a very interesting field to work in, not only because there are so many different categories of business a person can be employed in, but because business isn't generally what people think it to be. Many think business to be centered around mathematics and variables, which there is a category for such subjects. However, business is centered in research and analysis in the interest and needs of numerous people. Knowing what the people in our society want and need provides us with an insight in what to bring into the market of business to please the society while making a profit. Mathematics is used, but mainly to calculate economical growths for imports, rates, and interest as well. To me, business has always felt natural, something that I know I would be great in due to my work ethic, knowledge of thought and emotion, and knowing society's wants and needs. I constantly think outside the box in order to resolve problems and although I may need crucial experience at first, my dream is to one day own my own successful business. Business has been a crucial and dire interest of mine since I was little. Not only do I believe that I can contribute to any business that decides to give me an opportunity, but I also am interested in the insight and experience it would bring. Additionally, working in the field of business allows me to be creative and put my own ideas in the market. It allows me to sell my art to customers who admire such artwork or a certain invention to benefit others with a stressful or difficult situation. I'm also interested in gaining transferable skills such as critical thinking and more innovative ways to solve numerous situations so that I can have a great start off to my own business and strive successfully. Overall, I am very interested in business, for it allows me to express not only my creativity and imagination, but also allows me to show the many great qualities I carry as a future succeeding businessman in the market industry.
