    Nabi Nicole Grant Memorial Scholarship
    My name is Chipo Matambo. I am a student at the University of Arizona School of Medicine with a minor in computer science because I have a strong desire to save lives and help the world. I come from a family of nine, and I am the only girl and the first in my family to attend university. Unfortunately, my family is not well-off financially. I come from a very low-income background, and I lost my father to cancer when I was 10 years old. For a moment, my world turned upside down. Experiencing the loss of my father to cancer was an incredibly profound and life-changing event. In my case, losing my father to this devastating disease shaped me in significant ways and has been a driving force behind my decision to pursue a career in medicine. Growing up after my father’s passing, I wasn’t as strong in my faith as I am today. However, I have always believed that God makes a way when you trust in Him and His promises. Being raised by a single mother wasn’t easy; she had to feed nine children and, on top of that, make sure we went to school. I always prayed to God to give me knowledge for school and wisdom for making decisions. After graduating high school and passing with top results—finishing first in my class—I began searching for fully funded scholarships. It wasn’t easy, and I knew my mother could not afford college tuition. While I was applying, a Good Samaritan read my story and understood what my family was going through. She offered to help pay for my college tuition. I started at the University of Arizona, and everything went well during my first year as I made new friends. However, during my second semester, tragedy struck. The woman who was funding my education was involved in a car accident and died on the spot. When I received this news, I was devastated. My family and I began questioning God and asking why all these hardships were happening in my life. We attended her funeral, and afterward, her children informed me that they would not be able to continue funding my education. I understood their decision, but I wished she were still alive. At that point, everything turned upside down. My faith was truly tested as I faced the choice to either drop out or find a way to pay my tuition. It was a stressful year. My brothers did what they could, and my mother tried to help, but tuition as a medical student was just too much. My mother also had loans to pay back. One day, I went on my knees in my bedroom, crying and speaking to God. I asked why He would let this happen. My faith felt broken, and I was hopeless. The school advised me to start applying for scholarships through the university’s scholarship portal, which I did. I wrote essays and won two scholarships totaling $3,000, but it still wasn’t enough. I continued praying to God and manifesting that His will would be done. I told Him that if it meant dropping out of school, so be it, because I trusted that He had something greater in store for me. I carried on with my life and studies, and a week later, a friend introduced me to Be Bold.org. I began applying through this platform last year and won my first scholarship there. I hope that God continues to bless me with more opportunities, as this scholarship would be a tremendous help.

    Make Your "Truth" Your Own Scholarship
    Growing up in a family where my father’s family was Jehovah’s Witnesses and my mother’s family wasn’t has been the most difficult. Leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses was a decision that I did not take lightly. Several factors and experiences led me to consider this change. One of the main reasons was the strict rules when it came to my father’s side of the family and expectations within the community. I found it difficult to express myself freely or to ask questions about beliefs and practices that I did not fully understand. Over time, I began to feel that my personal thoughts and opinions were not valued, and I started to question whether this was the right path for me. Another significant factor was the way the community handles those who choose to leave or disagree with the teachings. The fear of being shunned or cut off from friends and family was very real and made the decision even harder. However, I realized that staying in a place where I could not be true to myself was causing me more harm than good. I wanted to live a life where I could explore my beliefs freely and where I could make choices based on my own understanding and values. And make friends who also believed in other beliefs not just that of my own. Since leaving or contemplating leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses, I have experienced a lot of personal growth. I have begun to develop my own set of beliefs and values, which are important to me. For example, I have come to value open-mindedness and the ability to listen to different perspectives. This has helped me become more understanding and accepting of others, regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds. I have also learned the importance of personal responsibility, where I take ownership of my actions and decisions rather than relying on others to tell me what is right or wrong or make me feel that what they do or say is more important. One of the biggest changes in my personal growth has been the development of my confidence. Leaving a structured community can be scary because you are stepping into the unknown. But I have found strength in knowing that I am making decisions that are true to who I am. This has allowed me to become more confident in my choices and more comfortable with who I am as a person and I can express myself even more. During this transition, support systems have been incredibly important to me. Friends who understand my situation and offer non-judgmental support have been a lifeline. These friends have allowed me to talk about my feelings openly, which has been crucial in helping me process my thoughts and emotions. They have also been there to encourage me when I feel uncertain or overwhelmed more especially friends have made at university. Family members who are not part of the Jehovah’s Witnesses from my mothers side have also been supportive, offering a safe space where I can be myself without fear of judgment. They have helped me see that it is possible to live a fulfilling life outside of the community and have shown me that I am not alone in this journey. My personal relationships, I have found support in online communities and forums where others who have left or are considering leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses share their experiences. Reading about others’ journeys has helped me feel less isolated and more confident in my decision. These communities provide advice, encouragement, and understanding, which have been invaluable during this time. leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses was a difficult but necessary decision for my personal growth and well-being. The factors that led me to this choice have helped me develop a stronger sense of self and a clearer understanding of my own beliefs and values. With the support of friends, family, and online communities, I have been able to navigate this transition and move forward with confidence in my new path.

    Nikhil Desai Reinventing Healthcare Scholarship
    I’m studying to be a Doctor because I have a strong desire to save lives and help the world . But unfortunately the family I come from is not well financially I come from a very low income family, lost my father when I was in 10th grade, he had cancer and we wouldn’t afford for his treatment. a year later lost my niece who had leukemia my world for a moment turned upside down I was lost and life became more difficult. Having to lose your beloved ones because you can’t afford treatment shouldn’t be a good thing or reason to pass through. If I could change our current healthcare system, I would implement universal healthcare coverage for everyone. This means that every person, regardless of their income, employment status, or pre-existing conditions, would have access to necessary medical services without financial barriers. Universal healthcare would ensure that everyone receives the medical attention they need when they need it, preventing illnesses from worsening due to lack of treatment. It would also alleviate the burden of medical debt that many people face when they cannot afford healthcare services. By implementing universal healthcare, we can promote a healthier population overall. When everyone has access to preventive care, such as regular check-ups and screenings, diseases can be caught early and treated more effectively. This can lead to lower healthcare costs in the long run, as treating illnesses in their early stages is often less expensive than treating them once they have progressed. Additionally, universal healthcare can improve overall societal well-being by reducing the stress and anxiety associated with not being able to afford medical care. People would be more likely to seek medical attention when they need it, leading to better health outcomes and improved productivity. Implementing universal healthcare would require restructuring our current healthcare system and reallocating resources, but the benefits would far outweigh the costs. It's a step towards creating a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. I would introduce comprehensive healthcare scholarships to ensure access to medical education for aspiring healthcare professionals. These scholarships would cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other educational costs, enabling talented individuals from all backgrounds to pursue careers in healthcare without the burden of crippling student debt. By removing financial barriers to education, this initiative would attract a diverse range of students, fostering a more inclusive healthcare workforce capable of addressing the diverse needs of our communities. Ultimately, it would enhance the quality and accessibility of healthcare services for all.

But it wasn't all seriousness with my uncle. He had a playful and mischievous side that would often come out during family gatherings. One summer, he convinced me and my cousins to participate in a makeshift obstacle course he had set up in the backyard. With his military training, he guided us through the course, teaching us how to navigate obstacles and work together as a team. We laughed and cheered each other on as we raced to complete the course, and it remains one of my favorite memories with my uncle. As I reflect on my uncle's influence on my life, I am grateful for the lessons he taught me and the memories we shared together. His unwavering dedication to duty, his love for his family, and his sense of humor continue to inspire me to this day. Though he may be far away on another deployment, his presence is always felt in our hearts, guiding and shaping us as we navigate life's challenges and adventures.

    Hazel Joy Memorial Scholarship
    Losing my elder brother Edward shattered me. His death left a hole in my heart that I couldn't fill. We grew up together, shared secrets, and laughed at silly jokes. He was my confidante, my partner in crime. When he passed away, it felt like a piece of me went with him. Grief hit me like a tidal wave. At first, I was in denial, refusing to accept that he was gone. I kept expecting him to walk through the door, smiling and teasing me like he always did. But reality soon sank in, and the pain became unbearable. Everywhere I looked, I was reminded of him. His favorite sweater hanging in the closet, his laughter echoing in the halls—it was all too much to bear. Simple tasks became monumental challenges, and I found myself withdrawing from the world. I struggled to sleep, haunted by memories of our time together. Dreams turned into nightmares, replaying the moment I got the news over and over again. The thought of never seeing him again was too painful to bear. Anger consumed me. I was angry at the unfairness of it all, angry at myself for not being able to save him. I lashed out at anyone who tried to console me, pushing away the people who cared about me the most. But beneath the anger, there was a deep well of sadness. I missed him more than words could express. The thought of facing life without him was terrifying. He was supposed to be there for all the milestones, the highs and lows, but now I was left to navigate the world alone. Guilt gnawed at me. I couldn't help but wonder if there was something I could have done differently, something that could have prevented his death. I replayed our last conversation over and over again, searching for clues, but found none. Slowly, I began to realize that healing would take time. I sought solace in memories, cherishing the moments we shared together. I allowed myself to feel the pain, to mourn the loss of someone so dear to me. Talking to others who had experienced similar losses helped me understand that I wasn't alone in my grief. Their words of comfort and empathy provided a glimmer of hope in my darkest moments. Over time, the pain began to dull, though it never truly went away. I learned to carry his memory with me, finding comfort in the knowledge that he would always be a part of me. His death broke me in ways I never thought possible, but it also taught me resilience. I emerged from the darkness stronger, with a newfound appreciation for the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing those we hold dear. Though the pain of losing my sibling will always linger, I am grateful for the time we had together and the love we shared. He may be gone, but his spirit lives on in me, guiding me through the challenges of life and reminding me to cherish every moment.

My father’s family did not have enough means for higher education, but he earned a scholarship and created an opportunity for himself. My grandparents too were very proud of his hard work and success, and they always narrate his stories as an example for me to follow. My father explained to me that despite good hospitals and clinics in the city, many people do not get good healthcare, because they do not have the means. To ensure that everyone gets the right medical attention, my father also runs a small clinic where he does check-ups for poor people at a nominal charge and provides medication at subsidised rates, so that everyone can afford medical care.

Being an international student can be tough, full of challenges that might make you feel like you're swimming in uncharted waters. Picture this: you're in a new country, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, dealing with a different educational system, and maybe even trying to grasp a new language. It's not a walk in the park, that's for sure. First off, there's the cultural shift. Everything from the food you eat to the way people communicate might be totally different. It's like stepping into a whole new world, and sometimes it feels like you're on the outside looking in. Simple things you took for granted back home may become puzzles to solve – figuring out the public transport system, understanding local customs, or even just finding your favorite snacks at the grocery store. It's a learning curve, and not always an easy one. Then there's the education system. Each country has its own way of doing things, and what you were used to might not be the norm here. The teaching style, the expectations, even the way exams are conducted – it's all a bit of a maze. You might find yourself spending extra time trying to decode what's expected of you academically. And let's not forget the language challenge. Even if you're pretty good with English, for example, there are still those moments when you feel like you're playing catch-up with the native speakers. Slang, idioms, and the speed at which people talk can leave you feeling a bit lost in translation. It's not just about understanding the words; it's about grasping the nuances and cultural references that can make communication tricky. Now, this isn't meant to scare you off or make you second-guess your decision. Being an international student is a challenge.
    Eco-Warrior Scholarship
    Living sustainably involves making intentional choices to minimize one's impact on the environment. In my daily life, I prioritize several practices that contribute to a lower carbon footprint. Firstly, I am conscious of my energy consumption. I make it a habit to turn off lights, appliances, and electronic devices when they are not in use. This helps reduce electricity usage and, consequently, lowers the demand for energy production, which often involves burning fossil fuels. Secondly, I strive to reduce, reuse, and recycle. I minimize single-use items and opt for products with minimal packaging. When possible, I choose items made from recycled materials. Recycling not only conserves resources but also decreases the amount of waste sent to landfills, reducing the environmental impact. In terms of transportation, I prefer walking, cycling, or using public transport instead of relying solely on private vehicles. This choice not only reduces my carbon emissions but also supports a more sustainable and efficient transportation system. Additionally, I am mindful of water usage. I fix leaks promptly, use water-efficient appliances, and avoid unnecessary water wastage. Conserving water is crucial because it's a finite resource, and reducing consumption helps protect ecosystems and biodiversity. Choosing locally sourced and seasonal foods is another aspect of my sustainable lifestyle. This decision supports local farmers, reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transportation, and promotes a more resilient and sustainable food system. Furthermore, I am mindful of the products I buy and their environmental impact. I prioritize items that are durable, repairable, and have a longer lifespan. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and minimizes the overall environmental impact of my consumption. Living sustainably is essential because it directly contributes to environmental preservation and helps combat climate change. By minimizing energy consumption, we decrease the reliance on fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. Conserving resources through recycling and responsible consumption helps preserve biodiversity and ecosystems, promoting a healthier planet for current and future generations. Reducing carbon footprints is crucial in addressing climate change, as carbon emissions contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect. The Earth's climate is experiencing unprecedented changes due to human activities, leading to rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. By adopting sustainable practices, individuals can play a part in mitigating these effects and fostering a more sustainable and resilient world. In conclusion, the intentional choices I make in my daily life to live sustainably, such as minimizing energy consumption, practicing waste reduction, using sustainable transportation, and making mindful consumer choices, contribute to a collective effort in addressing environmental challenges. It is important for individuals to recognize the significance of reducing their carbon footprint to preserve the planet for future generations and ensure a healthier and more sustainable world.

    Self-improvement and determination are vital pillars for personal growth and success. Cultivating these qualities not only benefits oneself but also sets a powerful example for children. In a world filled with uncertainties, teaching children the importance of continuous learning and unwavering commitment equips them with essential life skills. The journey of self-improvement begins with introspection and a willingness to embrace change. By acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses, we create a foundation for growth. Demonstrating this process to children involves openly discussing our goals and aspirations, fostering an environment where learning and development are celebrated. Determination, the fuel that propels us toward our objectives, plays a crucial role in achieving success. Children observe and absorb the perseverance of their parents or role models. When faced with challenges, it's essential to demonstrate resilience and a positive attitude. This not only instills a sense of optimism in children but also teaches them that setbacks are stepping stones to success. Setting realistic goals is a key aspect of self-improvement. By breaking down larger objectives into manageable tasks, we teach children the importance of strategic planning. Regularly revisiting and adjusting these goals helps instill adaptability—a vital skill in today's dynamic world. Consistency is the backbone of self-improvement. Whether it's acquiring a new skill, adopting healthier habits, or pursuing education, the commitment to regular, focused efforts is paramount. Through modeling this consistency, we emphasize the importance of discipline and hard work to our children. Moreover, embracing a growth mindset is fundamental. Communicating that intelligence and abilities can be developed over time fosters resilience in the face of challenges. This mindset shift encourages children to view setbacks not as failures but as opportunities for learning and improvement. In the realm of determination, perseverance is the linchpin. The journey towards a goal is rarely a smooth path, and teaching children to persist in the face of obstacles is a priceless lesson. Sharing personal stories of overcoming challenges reinforces the idea that success often requires tenacity and courage. It's crucial to involve children in the goal-setting process. Encourage them to identify their interests and aspirations, fostering a sense of autonomy and responsibility. By doing so, they learn the value of self-motivation and become active participants in their own growth. Leading by example involves showcasing a balanced approach to self-improvement. While ambition is essential, it's equally important to emphasize the significance of well-being and mental health. Demonstrating how to manage stress, practice self-care, and maintain a healthy work-life balance provides children with a holistic understanding of success. In the fast-paced digital age, adaptability is a prized skill. By incorporating technology into self-improvement efforts, we demonstrate the importance of staying abreast of advancements. Additionally, we show children that technology can be a valuable tool for learning and personal development. Ultimately, the journey of self-improvement and determination is a lifelong endeavor. As parents or role models, our commitment to continuous growth sends a powerful message. It teaches children that learning is not confined to a specific age or stage in life, but rather a perpetual and enriching pursuit. In conclusion, by embracing self-improvement and determination, we paint a compelling example for our children. Through introspection, goal-setting, consistency, and perseverance, we instill in them the values of resilience, adaptability, and a growth mindset. This approach equips them with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges and pursue success with confidence and determination.

    Jackanow Suicide Awareness Scholarship
    My reality after my best friend committed suicide was cruel from a lack of information. I didn't know why. I didn't know where. But I was convinced he was gone. I'll say first thing that he survived, miraculously with only a broken arm. But this story is focused on the three days after his attempt, when I was oblivious to his vitality. Curiously, it never crossed my mind that he wasn't dead. I don't know why I was so certain but it was this morbid conviction that led me to wholeheartedly mourn and reflect. I thought about the time of my grandfather's passing and how the words and tears flowed but he was perfectly silent, brimming with compassion and comfort. I thought of him finally telling me that the reason he never celebrated his birthday was because it was the day his grandmother passed away. I ran through all the conversation that took place on the roof of my house this summer. I ran through all the conversations that ever took place. In fact, I combed through the contents of every single day since the first day I met him. My reward for working through this painful process was of course more pain, sadness because I still didn't know why, but most horrifyingly, an overwhelming sense of regret because I realized that all these years, I had never told him how much he meant to me. There was the occasional "thank you" and "you're the best", but even these are rare pleasantries, as it seems that niceties have an inverse relationship to a growing friendship. Thus disregarding the hasty and the superficial, I had never really expressed my gratitude. Believing him gone, the thought of this haunted me because I realized we were always too busy. Busy to the point I never could even find a moment to tell him he meant the world to me. Chilling irony shrouded me like a mist, a constant reminder that it was too late now. Those three days really felt like three eternities. By the first, I had decided that I would never let something like this happen again. And by the third, I swore I would make sure to find time every single day to tell the people I care about how much they mean to me. This was the conviction I reached as my third eternity ended, and on the fourth day, I was given my miracle. His death made me a whole different person I miss him so much and I wish knew what he was going through then my family and all my other friends that I love and appreciate them everyday. I intend to do so for as long as I live because never again do I want to regret words unspoken. And I always tell them how much I love and appreciate them for always being in my life, their support, presence, care, love and respect. I wish he was here for me to tell him how his death broke me I miss my best friend Max

    As a machine learning model developed by OpenAI, I don't have personal experiences, beliefs, or actions. However, I can provide information on how AI and technology, in general, are being used to address important social issues. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly playing a pivotal role in addressing various social challenges. From healthcare to education and environmental sustainability, AI is being harnessed to create innovative solutions. Let's explore how AI is contributing to addressing important social issues. Healthcare and Disease Detection AI is revolutionizing healthcare by enhancing disease detection and diagnosis. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of medical data to identify patterns and predict diseases earlier than traditional methods. This early detection can lead to more effective treatments and improved outcomes. Accessibility and Inclusion AI technologies are being employed to make the world more accessible for individuals with disabilities. Voice recognition, text-to-speech, and image recognition technologies help people with visual or hearing impairments navigate and interact with the digital world. This promotes inclusivity and equal opportunities. Education and Personalized Learning AI is transforming education by enabling personalized learning experiences. Adaptive learning platforms use AI algorithms to tailor educational content to individual students, addressing their specific strengths and weaknesses. This approach enhances engagement and improves overall educational outcomes. Environmental Sustainability AI is being utilized to address environmental challenges. From optimizing energy consumption to monitoring and managing natural resources, AI helps in making informed decisions for a sustainable future. Machine learning algorithms can analyze complex environmental data, contributing to better conservation efforts and climate change mitigation. Poverty Alleviation and Economic Empowerment AI has the potential to uplift communities by providing new opportunities for economic empowerment. This includes using AI for financial inclusion, creating job opportunities, and fostering entrepreneurship in underserved regions. Startups and organizations are leveraging AI to address poverty-related challenges. Crisis Response and Humanitarian Aid, AI plays a crucial role in crisis response and humanitarian aid efforts. Predictive modeling and data analysis help anticipate natural disasters, enabling proactive measures to minimize the impact. Additionally, AI assists in coordinating relief efforts, optimizing resource allocation, and aiding in post-disaster recovery. Social Justice and Bias Mitigation:** Addressing bias in AI systems is crucial for promoting social justice. Developers and researchers are working to identify and mitigate biases in algorithms to ensure fair and equitable outcomes. This includes implementing diverse and inclusive datasets, transparent AI systems, and ethical guidelines. Public Health and Epidemic Monitoring:** The ongoing global health challenges have highlighted the importance of AI in public health. AI models are used for tracking and predicting the spread of diseases, analyzing healthcare data, and assisting in the development of vaccines and treatments. These applications contribute to better preparedness and response to health crises. In conclusion, AI is a powerful tool with the potential to address a wide range of social issues. However, it's crucial to approach its development and deployment with ethical considerations to ensure that the benefits are accessible to all and that the technology does not inadvertently contribute to new challenges or exacerbate existing inequalities. Ongoing collaboration between technologists, policymakers, and communities is essential to harness the full potential of AI for the betterment of society.

My father’s family did not have enough means for higher education, but he earned a scholarship and created an opportunity for himself. My grandparents too were very proud of his hard work and success, and they always narrate his stories as an example for me to follow. My father explained to me that despite good hospitals and clinics in the city, many people do not get good healthcare, because they do not have the means. To ensure that everyone gets the right medical attention, my father also runs a small clinic where he does check-ups for poor people at a nominal charge and provides medication at subsidised rates, so that everyone can afford medical care. He donates some of his own money to this cause to make sure that the clinic never has to say no to any patient. This selfless and generous act makes him a highly respected person in the city. I feel very proud that he is my father. Despite being in a busy profession, my father use to spends a lot of quality time with me. We He was the coolest dad ever! Because of my love and admiration for him, I don’t like to disappoint him in any way. The one thing he use to get upset about is if I don’t work hard towards my studies. He always teaches me that studying hard is the biggest duty that children have towards the future of the society. Whether I score high marks or not, he insists that I must always give my 100% while studying and learning. My father has taught me a lot, through such moral lessons as well as through the way he has led his own life. I admire his personality and wish to become just like him when I grow up. And become the Good doctor that if he was still alive he can be so proud.

    Nell’s Will Scholarship
    I’m studying to be a Doctor because I have a strong desire to save lives and help the world . However, I am at a crossroads, dealing with financial difficulties that threaten to derail my route to accomplishing my cherished desire. I’m telling you my tale in the hopes that you’ll be the guiding light I’m looking for. For me, becoming a Doctor is more than a job; it’s a calling, a mission. Every day, I am motivated by the conviction that education can mold young minds, stimulate creativity, and pave the way for a brighter future for our planet. My academic career, however, has been hampered by financial difficulties. Tuition, textbooks, living expenses, and other education-related costs have grown prohibitively expensive, making it increasingly impossible for me to focus on my studies and attain the grades required for success. I refuse to give up on my aspirations, but I can’t achieve it on my own. Your contribution, regardless of the amount, might be my saving grace. Here’s how your help can make a difference: Tuition Assistance: Your gift can help fund my tuition expenses, allowing me to concentrate on gaining the skills necessary to be an amazing Doctor. Textbooks materials: Access to crucial teaching tools may dramatically improve my academic performance and, eventually, my capacity to build a dynamic and engaging classroom. Living Expenses: With your help, I can focus on my academics rather than worrying about the essential living expenses that come with being a student. Professional Development: Your generosity will allow me to pay for seminars, certificates, and courses that will help me become a qualified and passionate Doctor Your contribution is not just an investment in my education; it is also an investment in the next generation of students I will have the privilege to help in my situation. By assisting me, you are assisting in the development of younger generation and the opening of doors. Your gift will not be forgotten, and I am fully dedicated to paying it forward in the future, enhancing the lives of numerous individuals. I am appreciative for your concern and assistance. With your assistance, I am determined to realize my ambition of being an inspirational Doctor who will have a significant influence on the lives of the future generation. Thank you for believing in the power of health and for being the guiding light on my path.   With immense gratitude, Hope

At the emergency clinic, frightened and alone without my folks, I would not allow the specialist to place join in my arm. The attendant in the room held my hand and made me stories and wisecracks until my apprehension disappeared. Despite the fact that the specialist was the person who fixed my arm, she gave me the courage I expected to improve. I left the clinic that late evening knowing with complete conviction that, when I grew up, I would have been a medical caretaker.

What's more, it truly intends that, at some point, perhaps I can be the one making wisecracks to a frightened young lady in a trauma center, helping her know everything will be alright.

    Students with Congenital Heart Defects Scholarship
    To say that my sibling's inherent heart imperfection has impacted my life would be putting it mildly, as I would see it. I figure a more precise response would be that it has flipped around my reality. Jonathan Matambo was essentially brought into the world with a portion of a heart, to keep it basic. He was conceived when I was 6, I was recently energized that I got to see my grandparents constantly and remain with them while he was in the emergency clinic. He had his third heart medical procedure when I was around 9. I adored carrying his toy car to the clinic and driving Scramble all over the foyers, while Jonathan followed with his oxygen hookup. At a certain point, I even needed to do that for different children like the comedians that came into Jonathan’s room. I needed to be the super woman. Obviously, I was 9 at the time so that never truly occurred. Back before Coronavirus hit, I never truly wanted that Jonathan didn't have a heart condition. That is to say, I got to go to Rio festival when Jonathan desire was conceded by Make-A-Wish so I wasn't exactly grumbling. As time went on, I had a standard life. School, more school, summer, ocean side excursions, etc until Walk 2021 I'm certain you've heard others depict it as when everything shut down. Not seeing others besides through a screen. The issue is, we don't have the foggiest idea how Jonathan’s body will respond to Coronavirus, if he somehow happened to get it. He is defenseless against other respiratory diseases like it so the viewpoint doesn't appear to be excessively great. This is the reason at whatever point I contact a bundle that hasn't been "isolated" or cleaned down or at whatever point I contact a staple that hasn't been washed, I intellectually go crazy a tad. That is the primary effect on me at this moment. Simply this uneasiness that I will be the person who gives Coronavirus to Jonathan due to a stumble when I contact a bundle. It will be my shortcoming in the event that I'm not adequately cautious. The trepidation that I will be the person who influences the entire family by sending an infection around. School will be beginning in the fall and I'm remaining at home. I will presumably see the greater part of my colleagues together on a screen. I'm apprehensive on the grounds that I would rather not be the only one on the screen, the left out one, all in light of Jonathan’s introduction to the world deformity. The light toward the finish of this story, the chance, what my entire family is expecting, is an immunization for Jonathan. After he is ideally immunized, I feel that I will be substantially more appreciative for the things I underestimated, such as embracing my grandparents and spending time with my companions. Easily overlooked details that have a major effect.

    Henry Bynum, Jr. Memorial Scholarship
    Might it be said that i was at this point not the darling girl of nature, whisperer of trees? Knee-high rain boots, cover, bug splash — I wore the clothing and scent of a glad out of control lady, yet I was right there, slouched over the woeful heap of difficult sticks, completely puzzled, nearly tears. As a youngster, I had viewed myself as a sort of natural princess, a cradler of bugs and centipedes, who was entertained by grieving birds and chickadees, who could skim through tick-plagued glades and arise sans lyme. I knew the breaks of the earth like the scars on my own unpleasant palms. However I was right here, after a decade, unequipped for playing out the most major open air task: I proved unable, for the existence of me, light a fire. Angrily I scoured the twigs together — endlessly scoured until smidgens of skin chipped from my fingers. No smoke. The twigs were excessively youthful, excessively tacky green; I threw them away with a shower of condemnations, and started tearing through the underbrush looking for a more combustible assortment. My endeavors were unprofitable. Enraged, I digit a, not entirely settled to demonstrate that the woodland had scorned me, offering just youthful, wet bones that could never consume. However, the wood broke like carrots between my teeth — old, fragile, and unpleasant. Thundering and nursing my throbbing palms, I withdrew to the tent, where I scowled and anticipated the scoffs of my loved ones. Shaking their unfilled worm jars and stinking of fat fish, my sibling and cousins strutted into the camping area. Right away, they saw the minor stick slaughter by the fire pit and called to me, their profound voices currently sharp with disdain. "Where's the fire, Princess Clara?" they provoked. "Experiencing some difficulty?" They goaded me with the closures of the bit branches and, with a couple of easy scratches of wood on rock, ignited a red and thundering fire. My face consumed long after I left the fire pit. The camp smelled of salmon and disgrace. In the tent, I contemplated my disappointment. Is it safe to say that i was so petite? Is it safe to say that i was that unfit? I thought about my hands, how calloused and able they had been, the way delicate and smooth they had become. It had been a long time since I'd plied mud between my fingers; rather than scaling a white pine, I'd rehearsed scales on my piano, my hands relaxing into those of a performer — meaty and delicate. Also, I'd gotten glasses, having developed terribly partially blind; long evenings of faint lighting and thick books had done this. I was unable to recollect the last time I had lain down on a slope, flagrant, and seen the stars without squinting. Creeping along the edge of the tent, a bug affirmed my change — he nauseated me, and I felt a mind-boggling desire to crush him. However, I understood I hadn't exactly changed — I had just moved viewpoint. I still enthusiastically investigated new universes, yet through sonnets and exposition as opposed to fields and puddles. I'd developed to favor the blast of a bass over that of a bullfrog, figured out how to persuade an alternate sort of fire from wood, having fostered a consume for composing rhymes and scribbling speculations. That evening, I kept awake until late with my diary and expounded on the bug I had chosen not to kill. I had endured him scarcely, possibly yelling.

    As an offspring of worker guardians, I figured out how to get a sense of ownership with my family and myself quite early on. Despite the fact that my folks communicated in English, they continually worked to help my younger sibling and I monetarily. In the mean time, my grandparents scarcely knew English so I turned into their interpreter for clinical arrangements and in each and every association with English speakers. Indeed, even as of not long ago, I actually decipher for themselves and I show my grandparents conversational English. The more elaborate I became with my family, the more I understood what I needed to be from here on out. Since I was five, my folks pushed me to esteem training since they were brought into the world in Vietnam and had restricted schooling. In light of this weakness, I figured out how to view all that I do in a serious way and to invest all of my energy to finish jobs, for example, turning into the organizer behind my school's Badminton Club in my sophomore year and Red Cross Club this year. Prior to making these clubs, I made a dream for these clubs so I can coordinate my obligations better as a pioneer. The more elaborate I turned into, the more I advanced as a pioneer and personally. As a pioneer, I conveyed a similar conduct I depicted towards my more youthful cousins and kin. My relatives focused on the significance of being a decent impact; as I adjusted this way of behaving, I used this in my administrative roles. I figured out how to turn into a decent good example by showing my more youthful relatives legitimate habits and directing them in their scholastics so they can get along admirably. In school, I guide my companions in sorting out group uniform plans and in systems administration with a charitable association for administration occasions. Asides from my qualities, I'm genuinely energetic in the clinical field. I generally needed to be a pediatrician since I was fourteen. My solid interest in the clinical field permitted me to open up my shell in specific circumstances — when I became amiable to patients in the emergency clinic as a worker, when I became cordial and receptive to kids in my position at Kumon Math and Understanding Center, and when I depicted sympathy and compassion towards my colleagues in the badminton crew. Notwithstanding, when I partook in the 2017 Kaiser Summer Volunteer Program at Richmond Clinical Center, I understood that I would simply not liked to be a pediatrician. This program opened my eye to various open doors in various fields of medication and in various methodologies in working in the medication business. While I might have areas of strength for a for the clinical field, my advantage in business massively developed as I before long found that I didn't just need to adopt the pragmatic strategy in the clinical field. With this interest, I plan to likewise turn into a piece of a clinical office supervisory crew. Later on, I desire to seek after my fantasy about turning into a specialist by achieving a MD, and to twofold study Administrative Financial matters. I expect to learn at UC Davis as a Natural Sciences major, where I expect to turn out to be very engaged with the understudy local area. After graduation, I intend to foster areas of strength for a relationship.

With no place else to go, we moved into our congregation's back space for quite some time, where I dishonorably attempted to conceal our toothbrushes and additional shoes from other church individuals. Right then I earnestly committed to my family to contribute monetarily in the manner I could. My penance meant a nearer bond with my kin and more profound discussions with my folks, assisting me with understanding the genuine significance of a bound together family and the significant part I play in that. With the monetary soundness that my temporary positions gave my mom could remain at home to bring up seven youngsters, my learning-handicapped more seasoned sister could go to school, my more youthful sister could go on a mission excursion to Korea, and my twin kin could contend in public number related rivalries. I've seen that even as a secondary school understudy, I have such a lot of potential to affect my family and then some - - how one little demonstration can go far. Through the triumphs of my endeavors, I likewise understood that destitution was only a cultural restriction. I was low-pay, not poor. I was all the while prospering in school, driving religious exercises and playing a functioning job in local area administration. My low-pay status was not a hindrance but rather a take off platform to inspire and drive my prosperity

    My name is Chipo Matambo I come from a family of 7 I have six brothers and am the only girl child. Am a single orphan my father passed away when I was 10 he had cancer and have been struggling growing up without a father figure in my life, hasn’t been easy my mother works so hard to take care of us. Growing for me I have worked hard in life because I come from a not well to do family and my goal is to follow my dreams chase them and help my mother one day in the future. Because she’s been through a lot in life raising 7 children on her own. When I was in 10th grade one of my brothers and the girlfriend had a very beautiful baby girl named Sheila. My niece who was born on the 18th of September And for a moment I was the happiest person because I had someone to look up to me as well, and give advice for an the only girl child and she was a blessing to the family always hugging and giving kisses. And I would go to my brother house to babysit her when both her parents go for work and I even became more close to her there’s was even a time she could just want to be with me and no one else. In 2020 August she got really sick by then she was one year eleven months and we were looking forward for her to turn 2 years and just see her grow up so fast. One night she couldn’t walk play or do anything they rushed her to the hospital and that was the beginning of our nightmare as a family. The following day results came out and she had leukemia and it was already on a very bad stage, she was admitted in the hospital and we would only visit her from there, everyday after school I use to go to the hospital to pay her a visit and just stay with her wishing for her to get better but unfortunately after three weeks close to a month she really got worse and passed away. This was a second member of my family dying of cancer when my father passed away I was still young and didn’t really understand anything but growing up and welcoming Sheila in our lives and the bond we had and how her mother loved her my brother from then he just lost it his never been the same my family we have been struggling I myself I feel lost, lonely and helpless at times I have this wired thoughts in my head some times. It’s hard to talk to people my mother is trying to get help for me to fit in the world thatI feels like a mirror no one to talk to or even tell them how I feel and how Sheila’s death and growing up without a father feels like watching your friends have school dances with their father and you can’t because his no more. And your mother as to work hard for the family it’s not easy nothing is have been through it and my family. Looking forward to better days

    Moving to the United States wasn’t easy for me as an international student and all alone a big country, but my family was there for me kept calling to check up on me and really have a great roommate in school. Who is now like a sister to me she helped me a lot throughout my journey in university and introduced me to some of friends who are really good people. The day my siblings called they will be coming to the states was a dream come true though my mother couldn’t come because of her condition she’s in. I wish she did but I was happy knowing that after being so far away from my family it was about time I got reunited with my family I missed them so much had a lot. To tell them and show them for and for the fact that also them it was going to be hard for them to get used to a whole new different environment and experience, what I was more excited was to see them everyday I wake up knowing I have my brothers with me now was the best feeling ever and will always remember that. The first few months I could say it was difficult for them since I had already gotten used to most of the things in USA but for them it quite took some time for them to get used to the food, because back home our traditional food nshima is like the most delicious meal you will find in Lusaka and almost everyone eats nshima in their homes. But we did find some African store where they could buy and cook nshima but it still didn’t test like the one back home. They are now used and we are all working hard

So that I could be able to apply for medical school, when my father passed away it took a turn for me life became more difficult, for my mother, siblings and myself, we could go days at times without eating and we would go out to do some jobs, so we can help ourselves and I gave myself a goal to work hard so I can go to university and be the first child. In my family to do that I could go to visit hospitals on my free time, talk to doctors and nurses for me to have that knowledge and how we can help people who are sick and in need of help, be it in my school, family or even neighbors. After passing my ninth grade so well there’s was no money for me to continue with my studies, and my mother did what she could but it just wasn’t enough. Seeing the grades I got being 478 points my school decided they would sponsor me until I write my 12th grade so long I keep up with the good grades and participate in the school science and math competitions, which I began and throughout my secondary I would say we won first place most and second place In some competitions. Growing up it hasn’t been easy for me and coming from a household of 8 in a house, it can be very challenging and being raised by a single parent it really taught us a lot and hard to work hard and push for who I want to become in future, so I can help those who can’t afford has well in future both through my career and outside that, and when you are given such opportunities like scholarships and grants either by the school or any other it’s important to make use of it, because they are a lot of people out there wanting to receive such an opportunity and I always say this to myself. Whenever I get such a privilege I will work hard and show that am responsible and I need this so bad.

    Helping others isn’t only good for others and a good thing, it also makes us happier and healthier and can reduce stress levels in some cases. Giving connects us to others, strengthens community, and helps create a happier society for all. And it’s good for society, which can help you be more empathetic. And when you’re empathetic, you’re more likely to have healthy relationships and stronger friendships with those around you. It makes us feel like we’ve accomplished something, which can be very rewarding. If you’ve ever helped someone with a problem or situation you’ve been through yourself, you know what I mean. It’s a good feeling when you see someone else succeed after you’ve struggled so much yourself. When we’re helping someone, we’ve to think differently than when we’re working on our own projects. We’ve to put ourselves in the other person’s shoes and see things from their perspective. In this way, we learn a lot of new things about ourselves and about how other people work. The way you help others can make you a better person. That’s because you’ve to work hard to be compassionate, generous, and kind. When you do something good for someone else, your character is tested. You have to push yourself to be better if you really want to help. Helping people can make this world way better. For example, helping your neighbors rake the leaves that fell off in fall. It would make their life much easier. If someone that’s wealthy sees a poor person on the streets, he/she should definitely help them. People would be way happier. Usually, people throw their garbage on the streets. But if people start encouraging them to recycle there would not be as much pollution as there is today. Pollution is really unhealthy to this world and it harms animals in many ways. “If everyone decided to forgive at least one person who hurt them by the end of the year, the world would be filled with people exchanging hugs and kisses, instead of words and bullets. All people should help others without expecting any rewards. They need to do this because it helps make this world way better, there would be peace and no war, and also it decreases stress. If something happens to you, they would be supportive and show all of their respect to you just like Mawi’s father and also his brother. The benefits you get from helping people are endless. People should start caring for others. The rich should give to the poor so all people could be equal.

    There are a lot of social issues we are facing right now, some more prominent than the others. First of all, poverty is a worldwide issue. It gives birth to a lot of other social issues which we must try to get away with at the earliest. Further, countries like my country Zambia India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and more are facing the issue of the caste system since times unknown. It results in a lot of caste violence and inequality which takes the lives of many on a daily basis. Moreover, child labour is another major social issue that damages the lives of young children. Similarly, illiteracy also ruins the lives of many by destroying their chances of a bright future. In developing countries mostly, child marriage still exists and is responsible for ruining many lives. Similarly, dowry is a very serious and common social issue that almost all classes of people partake in. Another prominent social issue is gender inequality which takes away many opportunities from deserving people. Domestic violence especially against women is a serious social issue we must all fight against. Other social issues include starvation, child sex abuse, religious conflicts, child trafficking, terrorism, overpopulation, untouchability, communalism and many more. It is high time we end these social issues Social issues are due to traditional and cultural stereotypes harming ordinary people, which need immediate attention. Social problems are subjective. They mean different things to different people. Social issues include poverty, child marriage, violence, crime, illiteracy, racial discrimination, gender bias, economic inequality, caste discrimination etc. Poverty is a severe social issue in rural areas, giving way to a lack of food and education, malnutrition, crime and violence. Gender bias and casteism are very evident in developing countries. Lack of education has resulted in issues like child marriages and racial discrimination. Modern society has resulted in new issues like pollution, climate change, corruption and terrorism. These issues have plagued every country, society and, at some point, every household. These issues can be solved with strategic planning and educating people about them. Social issues affect our society adversely. Most importantly, it disturbs the harmony of society and gives rise to hostility and suspicion. Moreover, it creates large-scale social dissatisfaction, suffering and misery. A society can successfully end social issues if they become adamant. These social issues act as a barrier to the progress of society. Thus, we must all come together to fight against them and put them to an end for the greater good.

Seeing the grades I got being 478 points my school decided they would sponsor me until I write my 12th grade so long I keep up with the good grades and participate in the school science and math competitions, which I began and throughout my secondary I would say we won first place most and second place In some competitions. Growing up it hasn’t been easy for me and coming from a household of 8 in a house, it can be very challenging and being raised by a single parent it really taught us a lot and hard to work hard and push for who I want to become in future, so I can help those who can’t afford has well in future both through my career and outside that, and when you are given such opportunities like scholarships and grants either by the school or any other it’s important to make use of it, because they are a lot of people out there wanting to receive such an opportunity and I always say this to myself. Whenever I get such a privilege I will work hard and show that am responsible and I need this so bad. This scholarship will mean so much to me for I do not have a lot to offer and pay for certain things, it will help me getting books I have been wanting to get pay for some of the costs at school, just to lessen the burden on my family I will work hard and always remember where I come from and what have been through.
