Bio

Hello everyone, my name is Breanna Elliott and I'm an international student from Jamaica. My hobbies include travelling, cooking and playing board games. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in business administration with a marketing major and an information technology minor. My philosophy is "I can do all things through Christ who strengths me". I've participated in a variety of charity events and also volunteered at a few nursing homes, and at my past elementary school. I've also done mentorship programs where I have mentored youths with behavioural problems. My short-term goals include graduating from university with first-class honours, building my career and garnering new experiences and finally improving my productivity and time management skills. Regarding my long-term career goals, I aspire to be an advocate for individuals around the world who are faced with poverty and a lack of proper healthcare. It's also my goal to achieve my MBA in the next 5 years and start up my own real estate firm. I believe I would be an ideal candidate for this scholarship as it would help me achieve my goals of studying and receiving my bachelor's degree from the University of North Texas. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio.

    Attributes are unique qualities that make individuals stand out from others. As an individual, I possess three distinct attributes that set me apart from others. These attributes are discipline, having a good sense of humor, and being dependable. In this essay, I will describe how these attributes make me unique and how I plan to give back to my community. Discipline is an attribute that has been instilled in me since my childhood. I believe that discipline is the key to success in every aspect of life. My disciplined lifestyle allows me to set achievable goals and work towards achieving them. It also helps me to stay focused and motivated, even when faced with challenges. My discipline enables me to manage my time effectively, making me more productive in all areas of my life. This attribute makes me unique because it helps me to accomplish more than most people in a shorter amount of time, and I am able to handle stress and pressure effectively. Another attribute that makes me unique is my sense of humor. I believe that laughter is an essential part of life, and having a good sense of humor helps me to find the humor in every situation. My sense of humor has enabled me to make friends easily and to connect with people from different backgrounds. It also allows me to diffuse tense situations, making it easier to resolve conflicts. Being able to make people laugh is a gift that I cherish, and I believe it sets me apart from others. Dependability is another attribute that makes me unique. I take pride in being reliable and trustworthy, and I believe that these qualities are essential in building strong relationships. My dependability makes me a person that people can count on, and I am always willing to help others. It also makes me a valuable team player in both my personal and professional life. My dependability helps me to stand out in a world where people often fail to follow through on their commitments. In terms of giving back to my community, I plan to use my attributes to make a positive impact. I believe that being disciplined, having a good sense of humor, and being dependable can make a difference in people's lives. I plan to volunteer my time and skills to community projects that align with my values. I want to use my sense of humor to bring joy to people who are going through tough times. I also plan to be a dependable resource for people in need, offering my time and resources to make a positive difference. In conclusion, my attributes of discipline, having a good sense of humor, and being dependable make me unique. These attributes enable me to achieve more, make people laugh, and build strong relationships. I believe that these attributes can also help me to make a positive impact in my community. By volunteering my time and skills, I hope to use my attributes to make a difference in people's lives.

    Poverty is a widespread problem that affects many communities around the world, including my own, I am also a victim of this social issue. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a decent life, but the reality is that poverty often stands in the way of achieving this goal. Therefore, I would like to see poverty change in my community by implementing a comprehensive strategy that addresses the root causes of poverty and provides long-term solutions to this problem. One of the key elements of my strategy would be to promote education and job training. Lack of education and job skills is a major factor in poverty, as it makes it difficult for individuals to secure good-paying jobs that can help them rise above the poverty line. By investing in education and job training programs, we can provide individuals with the tools and resources they need to obtain employment, increase their earning potential, and create a better life for themselves and their families. Another important element of my strategy would be to improve access to affordable housing. Housing costs can be a significant burden for low-income families, often consuming a large portion of their income and leaving little left over for other basic needs. By working to increase the supply of affordable housing, we can help alleviate this burden and provide families with a stable and secure place to live. In addition, I would like to see more support for social safety net programs, such as food assistance and healthcare. These programs provide a critical safety net for families in need, helping to ensure that they can access basic necessities and healthcare services when they need them most. To address the issue of poverty in my community, I would work to build a coalition of stakeholders, including community leaders, policymakers, and nonprofit organizations. This coalition would work to identify the most pressing needs of our community and develop a comprehensive plan to address them. We would work to secure funding for programs and initiatives aimed at reducing poverty, and we would collaborate with local businesses and employers to promote job opportunities and economic growth. Another important aspect of our strategy would be to raise awareness about poverty in our community and educate people about the root causes of poverty and the impact it has on individuals and families. By building understanding and empathy for those struggling with poverty, we can help reduce the stigma associated with this issue and promote a more compassionate and supportive community. In conclusion, poverty is a complex and challenging issue that requires a multifaceted approach to address. By promoting education and job training, improving access to affordable housing, and supporting social safety net programs, we can help reduce poverty in our community and create a more equitable and just society. Through collaboration and education, we can work to break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future for all members of our community
