Bio

My name is Anna, and I am an incoming freshmen at the University of Notre Dame! In my free time, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family! I am passionate about immersing myself in my culture, and I like to travel because it gives me a chance to witness the wonders of our world. I want to try new things and seek opportunities, making me a spontaneous but joyful person. My plan after high school is to attend college and pursue a bachelor's degree. I am interested in endocrinology, biotechnology, and data science. My dream is to pursue a statistics or health sciences degree and a minor in biotechnology or data science. I want to make a better world with equal access to education, healthcare, and jobs for everyone. Winning scholarships would help me fund my education and tear down the barriers between money and education. Thank you for reading and getting to know a little about me!

    Bold Success Scholarship
    Driven by ambition and determination, I see myself conquering my long-awaited goal, becoming a doctor that specializes in endocrinology while spending time with my family and friends. To plan this goal into action, I first start with graduating high school earning my diploma with honors, a dream I've always had in mind since the beginning. The next step is a universal feeling, scared of the unknown, but the feeling of being accepted into a college I want to be at would overtake the fear and anxiety in me. Just the thought of making it into college is surreal. I dream of researching based on my passion and will to learn. Even though my goal may seem so far, I plan to achieve it by studying and taking care of myself in the most crucial times. By taking care of myself, I can indulge in my studies and work hard while having the energy and mental willpower. Everyone has different definitions of success. To achieve success means obtaining my goal of becoming an endocrinologist while spending time with the people that have always been by my side and living peacefully doing what I love. To do this, I will work my very best in college, from studying with friends to make it more enjoyable or working early shifts at a coffee shop, I will become an endocrinologist and spend the time I have with my family and friends. Though there may be days when it's hard to get by, I don't plan on stopping. These days I only get one step closing to reaching my goal and achieving the success I've always dreamed of.
    Bold Make Your Mark Scholarship
    One of the issues about confidence in this world is women being situated lower due to society's standards of what a woman can do. This point shows in the field of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), where there are large gaps between men and women. For example, women only make up just 28% of graduates in engineering and 40% of those in computer sciences, according to an article in the World Economic Forum. I hope to increase these numbers and encourage women to pursue their dream in the field of STEM. The impact I hope to leave on the world is to empower women in education, let them pursue their goals in the field of STEM where there's an unequal distribution of men and women, and let the world know that women can do it. In my best efforts to leave this significant impact on the world, I will support those who are going to study and work in STEM. Often, some people bring women down when they pursue their education in STEM. However, I will continue to support them and let them know that this is their dream, don't ever stop because there's an obstacle. Additionally, my dream is also to pursue an education in STEM. While I'm studying, I will do my best to assist women in pursuing their education in STEM. I want to research and provide them with the opportunities available that are of interest to them and their goals. By telling them about such opportunities, I can eliminate the barriers that are often embedded into systems that impede the attainment of a STEM career. I hope that with these efforts, women are encouraged to follow their dreams of a STEM career. Get ready for my mark on the world! These barriers will come down.
