Bold Great Books Scholarship
My favorite book is The Alchemist and was written by Paulo Coelho. The novel has inspired every body who read around the world. The story has been thought provoking, simplified with wisdom and knowledge.
Paulo Coelho's novel demonstrated the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who travelled in search of a worldly treasure. He left his home country Spain to the desert land Egypt in search of treasure buried in the pyramids. His quest led him to riches and far more satisfactory than ever thought.
Surprisingly, he met along the line a gypsy woman who introduced herself as the merchant daughter. The gypsy woman was much astonished to see a shepherd boy reading a book, and later a man who pointed himself as the king and the Alchemist, looking for the direction of his quest.
Since no body knew where the treasure was hiding, people picture how Santiago will be able to overcome the challenges and obstacles along the way to his discovery. But what starts a wonderful journey to find the world hidden treasure turns into a meditation of the beautiful treasures found within the inner heart.
Mixing the extraordinary magic, mysticism, wisdom and being in the wonderland by inspiring tale of self discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic, a diamond around the world and transforming the lives of the modern generation.
His journey taught us about the essential listening to the bottom of our hearts, by recognizing opportunity and learning to read good omens along the life path and to swim to our dreams.
My why is that the story acts as the external testament of the transforming power of our daily dreams and the importance of listening to our sweet hearts. The book has also been recognized as the best in the world.
Bold Creativity Scholarship
Creativity brings about new ideas and makes me to be trained to filter and sort information and bring about easy decision making. I view creativity and innovation as one of the artistic and stylistic way of assisting me in my research paper. It helps me to seize the full opportunity to have the energy to be creative.
Applying creativity enables me to have the overall quality of solving problems and then apply creative thinking when managing decision making. As a manager, i recognized the need to incorporate my creativity in my problem-solving model by identifying the problems, gathering data and developing possible solution.
My creative thinking component becomes a dominant element when i am trying to bring out possible solution to a problem. It encourages me to bring out divergent thinking and alot of diverse ideas and solutions to that particular problems at hand. Creativity enables me to look at modern ways of solving problems when i am not satisfied with the standard solution by applying the traditional linear thinking. I usually take full advantage by training myself on creative problem-solving techniques, and use my skills to develop new ideas when dealing with complex problems in my board room.
As i continued to gain more experience in creative problem-solving, it enables me to bring the newest and innovative ideas and solution to a particular problem. Creativity and innovation helps me to learn every day to become more creative when managing problems at my own perusal.
Bold Future of Education Scholarship
One change that i believe would make education better for future generation is by ' saying No to bullying'. Bullying comes in many forms. It can be picked in the form of verbal, physical, emotions, homophobic, racist and cyberbullying. Children and Youth, pupils and students bully each other and this brings about behavior health problems.
A bully is a person who disrespect another person and try to push him/ her around. He may say things to hurt feelings and at times take advantage by going crazy to throw objects at the feeble to make him very very bad. Children as early as six years are being bullied and get worsen in high schools. One is usually bullied due to his or her physical appearance, especially physically disable persons, or the person does not like a particular religion, their shoes, clothing and head wrappers. Most at times, a child may be the tallest in class or shortest or their parents may be disable but try to visit their wards in school.
Bullying is one of the biggest problems to tackle in schools. Many school children skip school daily because they are scared of being bullied. Little children hate being bullied because it make them sad. According to a pupil who is in stage four in Florida High school, he got many names like 'ostrich' and 'taller'. This was because he was too tall and the tallest among his classmates and the rest of the pupils in the school. Every day, people pick at him and start laughing at him. This made him very sad.
Every body must help in preventing bullying at all levels. Children must stop saying bad words to each other and also stop fighting each other. We must learn how to be kind on the internet and admire each other no matter what the situation. Kindness is the key to stop bullying, and leading to friendship Bullying does not empower oneself but demoralized people who unfortunately cannot escape the trauma involved.
My why is that it would create teacher- child relationship and more caring classrooms. This is because it would prevent or deny opportunity, control children and prevent a fixed mindset of a bully.
Special need children would find it attractive to attend school, bring equity and inclusive in education and the environment. Cyber bullying would be a thin of the past and children would find it attractive to do their online studies at their own pace, enjoy their studies and manage their time.
Bold Wise Words Scholarship
The wisest thing i have ever heard was from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This was when he was demonstrating and addressing civil rights and social justice. 'It was strength to love' and did changed many lives to date. Martin Luther King Jr. explained the central element of his philosophy of nonviolence. His belief was in divine, loving presence that bound together all life.
It was very difficult to differentiate king's religious views from his personal view on societal change, which makes it religious discussion separated from the public square. Strength to love was in a time when social and economic changes depended on personal integrity. Martin Luther King Jr. did his best by illustrating and embracing at personal transformation at the root of social justice.
Dr. King stated that ' By reaching into and beyond ourselves and tapping the transcendent moral ethic of love, we shall overcome these evils'. In those meditative and sermonic piece, some of them were composed in jails and others crafted during the tumultuous years of the civil rights struggle.
Dr. King articulated and espoused in a deeply personal compelling way into his commitment to justice and to the intellectual, moral, and spiritual conversion which made his work positively correlated to Christian discipleship. Is words touched the bottom of my heart and has transformed me.
Bold Great Minds Scholarship
I admired John Brown who strike a blow for freedom, because according to him, 'slavery is a state of war'. On 3rd July,1859, Brown raised money from his friends and other abolitionists and ordered weapons to be used in his war against slavery.
He rented Kennedy farm on the Maryland side of the potomac river, where he gathered his army and trained them in the night to avoid being seen by curious neighbors. The army numbers twenty-one (21), during those time of the raid. These army learned reading and polishing rifles.
On 16th October, 1859, enslavers Lewis Washington and John Alstadt were taken hostage and the people they enslaved were freed. 'I came here from Kansas and this is a slave state; i want to free all the negroes in the state; i have possession now of the United States armory, and if the citizens interfere with me, i must only burn the town and have blood'.-- John Brown.
The aftermath led to sixteen people killed including ten of Brown's men. John Brown and his senior commanders were captured and jailed in Charles Town, Virginia on the 19th October, 1859. John Brown was faced with charges of murder, and conspiring with enslaved people to cause treason against the State of Virginia. The Jurors used five days to deal with the treason charges and took only forty-five minutes to condemn him and six of his colleagues to death by hanging on the 27th October, 1859.
Brown was executed on the 2nd December, 1859 and was buried in North Elba, New York. I admired John Brown because he acted bravely to stop slavery in the United States. As he told his son 'if you die, you die on a good cause; fighting for liberty. If you must die; die like a man'.
Bold Mental Health Awareness Scholarship
One practical solution for helping more people who struggle with mental health is stopping the spiral of toxic thoughts. There is hope in the midst of chaos. Shifting negative thinking pattern and taking control of thoughts and emotions. People who struggle with mental health have an energy in their heads which make them feel helpless, overwhelmed and incapable of making a difference.
Overthinking is one of the biggest causes of unhappiness and therefore overcoming negative thoughts pattern reduces stress and worry free life. Breaking free of one self imposed mental prison stop agonizing over the past and trying to predict the future. There is no self depreciating talk and sleepless night with racing thoughts. It also free one's mind from overthinking and achieve more , feel better and unleash one's potential.
People are too worried about their little health niggle that caught their attention. Putting a magnifying lens on all their flaws, and start turning each of them over their mind, wondering and torturing by the fact that they cannot seem to let it go.
People are not close to making decision about their health issues, and instantly feel depressed, sinking into a storm of negative self talk. All of these torment and mental anguish started with nothing. Ordinary, their brains help them to solve problems and understand things more clearly, but overthinking close the opposite.
Overthinking is pretty good at convincing themselves at current worry is all encompassing. It is also a symptom and expression of other mental health conditions such as generalized anxiety or depression. Overthinking is excessive mental activity, and that activity is analyzing, judging, monitoring, evaluating, control or worrying. People's brains are extraordinary helpful tool, but when they overthink, they only undermine their powers. and at the mercy of their overactive brain.
Lost Dreams Awaken Scholarship
Recovery is a new way to end anxiety and stop constant panic attack. People usually manage their anxiety and at times medicate it to some extend by stopping panic attacks and end feelings of general anxiety. It is also overcoming negative thoughts, irrational feelings and habitual sins.
Being sober leads one to recovery from a disease that usually looks insurmountable. With a focus on reclaiming the power that comes from a life free of dependency. Recovery comes through transformation with tiny changes in behavior starting now. Recovery provides a guide to overcome grief, filled with spiritual guidance. With energetic, positive, and encouraging tone, individual and group exercises, meditation and moment of reflection, recovery helps one to feel stronger and more optimistic about what the future has in store for us.
For example, as a person romanticized with expensive wines, making alcohol a vehicle without caring which vehicle to use to travel, he ran into ditch but recovery helped him by quitting drinking. This was due to poor concentration, missed deadlines, inability to take advantage of new opportunities, procrastination, crappy sleep and feeling sick.
Recovery helps any one who face any anxious situation or intrusive thoughts but been avoiding it. It boost one's confidence and feel like one's old self again. One falls asleep faster and with less anxiety each night. It helps one to live a more bold and adventurous life again.

One thing that gives me hope that the future will be better is the free use of the internet. Information technology will make a radical changes in the world for the better. Mobile communications and the internet will be regarded as the most technologies which will reshape the world and makes it better. This is because there will be more mobile connections worldwide and people will browse the internet free of charge for more knowledge.
Technologically, the mobile industry will provide faster, reliable and cheaper connectivity to the populace all over the world. From the business perspective, technology will generate huge revenue and will be touching the lives of billions of persons.
The social impact that technology is going to have on people in future will be numerous. Technology will connect not just one person at a time, but simultaneously broadcast to a preferred social group. The social media such as Twitter and face book will enable one to touch the social group just at the touch of the bottom at any location. The social networking has an important business and political values. Prominent politicians nowadays operate their own twitter accounts with alot of people following them. They use these accounts to promote their policies and political views during election era. Also many of the business gurus have alot of twitter followers whom they they use to share their business.
The mobile App will make life easier whilst on the go. It will enables one to find a parking space or restaurant during heavy traffic. It also stretches to the field of health and education. With regards to developing countries, providing health care to the remote rural areas have been very difficult. Mobile technology will change situations for the better.
With regards to economic impact, mobile communications will become the economic pillars in most countries. It will employ thousands of people into the industry and contribute as important tax returns to match revenue. This will raise millions of dollars for the government.
The industry will also sustain research and development across its subsidiaries, universities and other institutions, which will help in contributing to develop and sustain knowledge base economies across the world. The mobile communications will also contribute directly to the economic growth of both rural and urban communities, which will have a positive impact in developing economies.
The App Uber developed by a start up in the United States has revolutionized the ride across the world by the tax market sector. The smart phones features have help the App to identify beneficial location and determine the fares to the required destination. The transaction process goes through the App without the passenger paying straight to the driver. The pandemic made the mobile broad band connectivity a good support for persons and businesses and will continue to do wonderfully well than before. Technology will make the world become very small and bring people together as one family, one nation with a common destiny.

Bold Wisdom Scholarship
'If Almighty God cared about me, then i would not be suffering so much'.
This is because majority of people who rely on God are living in abject poverty all over the world. This is making Christians especially the women whose faith is beginning to slip as they continue to suffer so much. People begin to ask Christians, where is your God ? There is a little comfort in loving and knowing God who does not know us and love in return.
The Apostles were chosen by God yet they suffered greatly. Even though God accomplished his purpose through his faithfulness, yet in the midst of difficulties he won the victory over the power of sin through his own faithful suffering.
Christians are beginning to doubt God as Rev father stated that ' the lies she learned and ultimately come to believed about God crippled her from really getting to know him. She never said God as he has revealed himself in the scriptures and the church'.
The bible teaches that God exist and claim that we can know his existence when we contemplate the mysteries and orders of the universe. It also makes us to know as to how human conception about God are offend confused. God has both revealed himself and made wonders throughout the centuries. He created the universe and not of his love he seeks out in our brokenness and reveals himself and his ways to us out of his mercy.
Fulton Sheen opined that ' the religious and philosophies throughout history display the best and at times the worst of the human search for God.

Firstly, i would introduce a policy on child's right to education. This would not make education to be viewed differently by blacks and whites in the states.

I think it is important for people to be involved in their communities because, there are alot of vulnerable especially people with disabilities who need help in these communities and need to be protected. The grassroots in the communities are feeble and need community empowerment and capacity building.

They could provide hope, encourage special kindness and act of kindness impacts in the communities. They could also assist in community building and organizing for health.

Also, the people would do their best to assist those in HIV/ADS, violence, asthma, teenage pregnancy, depression and a host pf other preventable and treatable problems which is affecting Americans and their families in these communities.
More over, some of these people are professionals who would engage community members in new relationships and new ways of thinking about health and social equity which would make real contribution by improving the communities welfare.
I have helped my own community in my life in the following ways. Firstly, i have served in the Wheels of Happiness, a non profit organization which focused on helping children and adults with motor disabilities. They help people with disabilities to become independent and reintegrate, and add value to the community in which i lived. We provided medical equipment and suppliers, psychological help and inspiration to make them independent and therefore productive.
Secondly, i have served as a volunteer in my community in assisting the senior citizens with their house work. I assisted four of them by washing their cooking utensils, sweeping the surroundings and cutting the flowers. I also went on errand. Three of the senior citizens i served were overweight and needed to reduce weight. They were glad to see me, listen to my advised on weight management.
Thirdly, i stand the child right to education. I have encouraged the parents in my community who do not send their girl child to school to do so immediately. This is because when parent participate in their children education especially at the lower level, it becomes paramount to their success.
Finally, i have helped in the distribution of blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothing and food on regular basis with the hope that i give some comfort to those persons in the community who needs assistance. This is because giving is a twin sister of kindness, which make someone smile. I also share my knowledge for free without charging any dim in the community i ng. I am always committed in doing this and it has become my habit.
I plan to help my community through my future career in the following ways. Firstly, i would encourage my future company through my employer to sponsor local event in my community. This would help in sponsoring students who are brilliant but lack money to pay their tuition fees in higher education.
Secondly, i would do my best to create opportunities to assist the community. I would encourage microfinance institution to assist the local women by giving them petty loans with interest free to help them to start small trading. This would encourage economic empowerment of the women by improving their living standard in the community.
Thirdly, i would make sure that senior citizens are been taking good care off, giving them food and protect them against neighborhood crime. This is because people are full of experience, wisdom and knowledge. and they should be protected at all cost.
Also, i would help in painting the main streets of the community so that the community become very beautiful and catches the eyes of every person.

What i will do to support equality and diversity is to improve educational support through research in educational equality and diversity. As learning is a basic human need and the purpose of education is to provide every child with skills and knowledge, so that when they grow they become critical thinkers, compassionate leaders, and self actualized human being who will contribute to the healing and transformation of the society. I will do a qualitative research by conducting with young people, highlighting the experience of children who have been marginalized and counter deficit-based narrative to consider how young people's voice can be inform and improved educational support services.
I will be supporting the marginalized children through scholarship This is because the marginalized children are more likely to have limited access to high-quality curriculum, and to attend schools in neighborhoods that have been systematically under-resourced.
As American education guaranteed by the state to serve every child, the ideological impasse between vocational and humanistic approaches has plagued educational discourse. Education plays a crucial role in the cultivation of political , social equality and diversity, and economic fairness, but has been lost sight the role it should play. Drawing on scholars such as John Rawls and Hannah Arendt, i will sketch out a humanistic base-line, that re-links education to equality and diversity, showing how doing so can bridge the gap.
With a focus on the benefits of qualitative research for providing a more nuarced portrayed of these children and their experience, the text foregrounds youth voice and emphasizes the resilience, maturity and compassion which these young people demonstrate, by calling attention to the challenges that the vulnerable face in and out of school, i will offer large and small -scale changes that educators and other allies can use to better support the marginalized children.

The most inspiring book i have read was written by Joseph Philips and it is called Human kindness. It was recognized as one of the national best sellers book in the states. It is elegant, wise book of love in action and at the same time uplifting and life-affirming in years.

Elevate Mental Health Awareness Scholarship

People suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety , bipolar disorder, addictions is skyrocketing but labeling some one with mental illness is very harmful. The stigma of the mental illness damning and devastating on its own, can often prevent suffers from getting the help they need, but i often advised those i know to choose hope in the midst of chaos
Since we are living in an era where it is finally okay to talk about mental health, people all over the world are now unashamed to have open dialogue about their deepest, most personal insecurities and traumatic experiences. Most of the time, mental health persons thought hold them back, and therefore i advised them to not stay in their toxic thinking. patterns.
Chronic pain, phobias, obsessive thoughts are chemical imbalances in the brains but in the lives of our parents and even grand parents. I do wonders if it is possible to stop intense feelings of worry,anxiety or depression without resorting to medication. Most depression related medication can have a series of harmful side effect, that sometimes leave patients in an even worse state than before.
With regard to relationship with older people with mental illness, i used the theraplay dimension to plan treatment. The great way of activities that i utilised daily to interact between the senior people and me fall into four dimensions, structure, engagement, nurture, and challenge.I make use of this plan treatment to meet the needs of the senior citizen.
Firstly, i show my trustworthiness and predictability and provide a good safety grounds for him. I make him to realised that i am always for him, for better and for worse. With my relationship, i take responsibility for the safety and comfort of the mental health person, initiates the interactions, organizes and regulate my experiences, set limits and provide guidance. This makes the mental person not only enjoy physical and emotional security, but he also understand and learn the environment and develop capacity to regulate himself.
Secondly, i provide attuned, playful experiences that create a strong connection,an optimal level of arousal, and shared joy. The interaction between us is usually filled with delightful play leading to emotional engagement. The mental health person signals his eagerness to be engaged by looking, smiling, cooling and babbling. These activities are delightful, stimulating, and engaging and create a positive self-image for the mental health person. As a result, he experiences himself as being seen and felt as distinct, and valued individual. He learns to communicate, share intimacy and enjoy interpersonal contact.
Thirdly, i respond empathically to the mental health person's attachment and regulating needs by being warm, tender, calming, and comforting. I provide safe heaven and create feelings of self- worth. In the relationship,nurturing activities abound, feeding, rocking cuddling and comforting. Such activities are reassuring, calming and essentials to good formation of a secured relationship. These activities make the mental health person inner presentation that he is lovable and acceptable as he is. The soothing capacity of nurturing activities is important in helping the mental ill person become regulated.
Finally, while providing a secure base, i encourage the mental ill person to strive a bit, to take risks, to explore, to feel confident, and to enjoy mastering. In my relationship with the mental health person, i often challenge him to take a mild, develop mental appropriate risk and help him master tension arousing experiences. I also support his exploration and encourage him to try new activities that promote feeling of competence.
With regards to my career aspirations, whilst growing up, i was very crazy with mental health and psychology. My interest sparked when i always see a welled dressed nurse with her pointed black polished shoes, looking smart and attending to outgoing patients. This was two decade ago. I was very impressed with her stylistic and artistic way of handling patients in the hospital, when i once visited the hospital with my cousin. I realised that the mental health field was in need of highly educated professionals, who are hard working and have passion for the job. This was because many people who work in the mental health services were accustomed to seeing those for whom they care primary as patients. I therefore made an attempt to join but later changed gear.

Scientific advances have transformed the the world. However, science can sometimes get things wrong and at times, disastrously so understanding the basis for scientific claims and judging how much confidence one should place in them is essential for individual choice, societal debates, and development of public policy and laws.
The term science has come to have a special meaning and to carry a special weight in modern society. Professional gurus demonstrate that genetically modified foods are safe to eat, that industrial emission are causing global warming, the vaccines do not cause autism, and that some medication are safe and effective while others are not. Scientific and technological progress has transformed how human settle in different ways. Science ability to foresee the future and manipulate the beautiful world certainly comes to imbue scientific knowledge which has better degree of practical utility as compared to other forms of knowledge, which demonstrates greater degree of truth.
Scientists usually concentrate on exclusively on the doing of science, but not necessary understanding what science is about. They are usually not good practicing science theoretical knowledge of the inner working of an integral combustion on engine and the ability to move a car are separate areas of understanding. Great scientist recognized good science when they see it and can differentiate flaw science when they are confronted.
Science is a natural philosophy which dealt with facts and figures, whereas others school of thought dealt with opinions, although many scientific facts were later rejected by subsequent generations, as they can be understood as fallible, and not different from opinions.
Math offers the theories, methods and applications of a variety of targeted topics including operator theory, approximation theory, fixed point theory, and others. Math does not exist in a vacuum, whence the writers prepare the materials with frequent extra-mathematical cultural references. The life and soul of any science are its problems. This is particularly true of mathematics, which , not referring to any physical reality, consists only of its problems, their solutions and most excitingly the challenges they pose. Mathematical problems come in many flavours, from simple puzzles to major open problems. The problems stimulate, the stories of their successful solutions inspire, and their applications are wide.
The relationship between spirituality, science and math looks wonderful. Spirituality and science do not correlate. They are parallel but need a serious debate among philosophies. On the other hand, spirituality and math give a positive correlation among themselves. This is because math help s people in their spiritual realm. There is a connection among themselves. Science and math bring a positive correlation among themselves. This is because math is a subset of science.

Mathematical problems come in many flavours, from simple puzzles to major open problems. The problems stimulate, the stories of their successful solutions inspire, and their application are wide.
The literature abounds with books dedicated to mathematical problems, collection of problems, hints on how to solve them, and even histories of the paths to the solutions of some famous ones. Mathematics aim at the proverbial bright children and students, take a different more philosophical approach, first dividing mathematical problems into broad classes such as puzzle, exercises, and open problems, and discussing their various roles in one's mathematical education.
Mathematics does not exist in vacuum, whence the writers prepare the materials with frequent extra-mathematical cultural references.

William M. DeSantis Sr. Scholarship
An important lesson i have learned was how to handle money. Handling money does not depend on how smart or dull a person is but how one behave with money. Two famous people who handled money in different ways were Ronald Read and Richard Fuscone.
Mr Read was a gas attendant who later became an investor and a philanthropist. He was the first born of his parents and later a high school dropout. But he was a humble man though he came from a low income family. He did odd jobs for seventeen years and fixed cars for twenty-five years. He bought two bedrooms house for twelve thousand dollars and lived there for the rest of his life.
He became a widowed at age fifty-five and never remarried due to the shocked he had after his lovely wife went to heaven without his notice. He love chopping fire wood which was one of his worst hobbies. He joined his wife at age ninety-two in 2014.
Surprisingly, he left a net worth of over $ 8 million dollars in his will. Out of his will, $ 2 million dollars was to be shared among his step children and the rest of the money to be given to his local hospital and library. Mr Read saved little by little and made hay whilst the sun shines. He also invested in blue chip companies (stocks) and waited patiently for decades as tiny savings compounded into more that $8 million dollars. He started from zero to become a great man.
Richard Fuscone on the other hand, was a highly educated professional, hard working and could cope with any body. He had Harvard masters in business administration(MBA) and a very successful in finance, but retired in his early forty's and became a philanthropist. Former Merrill Chief Executive Officer, David Komansky congratulated Richard's business savvy, good leadership skills, personal integrity and wonderful performance. He was named the best business guru in crain's business magazine '40 under 40'for been successful.
But things fell apart. In the mid-2000s, Fuscone borrowed very heavily to expand an 18,000 square foot home in Connecticut with 11 bathrooms, 2 elevators, 2 pools, 7 garages, and over $90,000 a month to maintain. Unfortunately, financial crisis occurred in 2008. It crippled every finances, and Fuscone accumulated alot of heavy debt which led him totally bankrupt. He went from grace to grass with zero income. Both his Palm Beach house and beautiful mansion were disposed off. His personal house covering the home indoor swimming pool was sold in a foreclosure auction for 75% less than the figure quoted by the insurance company.
The lesson it has taught me was more fascinating about how these people approached to finance. One of them had no college degree, training, no formal experience nor banking background and connections, but was able to outperform the one with quality education, best training and connections.
The lesson was a guide to assist me in life. It was telling me to be very humble, not to brag openly and loudly about the future fortune (wealth). It was also warning me to respect everybody and reduce my expenses and invest more for the future. Little by little and consistent patience, fortune will surely knock at my door steps.
The lesson had made me stronger as a person and in life to be keen in investing, concentrate in my soft skills than the technical skills of money. I should also put in more effort, be independent and intelligent. It made me to be aware that financial success was not a hard science nor rock science.
Bold Turnaround Story Scholarship
A turnaround story from my life that made me proud of was when the doctor detected that my wife had breast cancer and need to be diagnose. She had no choice but went through two years of treatment including series of surgeries and bone marrow transplant. This made her to become very weak and in great pain. She ended up in the hospital after contacting another virus and her immune system began to shut down.
This made me to be very confused but doing my possible best to help her and be by her side always, for better and for worse.Lying in a hospital bed, she new that she was going to pass away. She requested if the doctor could allowed her to go home. Her request was answered as we knew she was going to heaven. Within some few days, she went to heaven. Looking at this pain and frustration,i involved in alcoholic drinks always and became addicted. What was the odd was a raw, authentic account that many thought i would never rise above my serial, addiction-fueled failures.
Looking at the situation in my mind, i thought i had been forgotten by the society. This was because the improbable take of how a small-town guy with a dream somehow made a reality. I opened up about the God who relentlessly chased me down,turning me from a casual believer to a passionate evangelist with an absolute, mathematical certainty that God was real. My life story does not speak to those struggling with addiction, but also any one looking for a message of hope.

Giving is important to me because it allows me to make a tremendous difference regardless of my resources. Givers never lack and do not complain no matter what the situation . It also has the power of doing an astonishing amount of good to the world. It touches the bottom of my heart right to my brains and gives astronomical smile.
Giving and happiness are made of simple things in life, both small and big. Giving makes the power of gratitude to be hidden in my heart. Gratitude is my super power which teaches me little things to appreciate like time spent playing with friends and family relationship. Giving sprinkling blessings on me every day. It also make me appreciate what others do for me every day. They also feel true happiness when they realized that they have everything they need.
Giving put sentiment aside and maximizes the practical impact of my donated dollars to the needed. It makes me live a fully ethical life, which involves doing the most good thing with my reach. This is because such a beautiful life requires a rigorously unsentimental view of charitable giving to the worthy recipient. The giver also his best to demonstrate that it will do more good by giving more gifts, money and time than any other option open to him. This leads to joy and personal fulfillment.
I give back by volunteering my time to assist others in need. This gives me joy. I also give back my acquired knowledge for free without demanding any dim from anybody. I also buy twenty bed sheets, and blankets to the nearest hospital to assist parents for free. Finally i do give back my free land at the bay area to the state, so that they can build hospital to assist people.
Bold Passion Scholarship
I am passionate about volunteering and giving back to the community. Volunteers are people who give back, choose hope over despair, optimism over cynicism, and caring over indifference. By serving others, i help myself, reporting that the biggest beneficiaries of my charitable activities are myself.
Giving back after receiving help during rough times. Human kindness that supported my family through wife 's treatment and recovery from breast cancer. She went through five separate surgeries, chemotherapy and bone marrow transparent. I was very grateful when people rescued my family from the dark days, often with the smallest of the gesture. Simple act of kindness transformed my life for the better.
I therefore decided to volunteer to make a difference through the simplest words and deeds, by changing someone's life. Volunteering has changed my life because , i was able to join Wheels of Happiness to support people with learning disabilities through improving and maintaining their health and well-being and bringing about their social inclusion in the community in which i lived.
As a volunteer, i spent seven (7) hours helping the senior citizens, distributing of blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothing and food on regular basis with the hope that we give some comfort to those in the community who needs assistance. This is very amazing since i am able to have human connections with majority of the people and interact with them.

It has also made me to get new perspective and learned alot through volunteering. This is because giving, assisting others in need is a kind of kindness, which touches someone's life and make him to smile.
Bold Technology Matters Scholarship
One new technology that i am very excited about is the block chain. Block chain is like learning how to drive a car, but one cannot predict the direction of the car. Block chain is a pack-end data base that maintains a distributed ledger which can be inspected only. It acts as an exchange network for moving transactions, value, assets between peers, without the assistance of intermediaries. It validates transactions, replacing trusted entities.
The block chain continues the history of internet technology which carries its journey to infiltrate the world, American businesses, society and government. This makes alot of people to be connected to the block chain, triggering the velocity of its usage propagation surpassing the historical web uses growth.
The block chain 's usage growth over takes the advantages on the web's trajectory, it starting point is over amplified along four segments. These includes web users, cellular phone users, website owners, and any other thing that gains benefits from being connected.
Block chain which is part of database, development platform, network enabler and seen as a trust layer, an exchange medium, a secure pipe, and a set of decentralized capabilities. The block chain changes how one writes his applications through a new form of scripting languages than can program business logic as smart contracts that are enforced on it. Understanding the block chain is seeing it as a triad of combustion of the known fields. These are game theory, cryptography science and software engineering.
The block chain takes multiplicity of functions. These includes the following. Digital cryptocurrency which is the visible element in a block chain. Cryptocurrency is an economic proxy to the viable operations and security of a block chain. Secondly is the decentralized computing infrastructure. The block chain is seen as a software design approach that binds a number of computers together that commonly obey the process for releasing the information they hold.
Thirdly is the transaction platform . A block chain network usually validates a variety of value- related transaction relating to digital money or asset that has been digitized. Fourthly is the decentralized database. The block chain behaves like a database, except that part of the information is stored, though it is the job of the software developer to figure out how he can re- write the applications to take advantage of the transition capabilities.
Fifthly is the shared, distributed accounting ledger. This keeps track of every transaction ever proceed on its networks, allowing a user's computer to verify the velocity of each transaction such that there can never be any double- counting. The other functions are the software development platform, open source software, financial service market place, peer-to- peer network and trust service layer.
The block chain hold trust as an atomic unit of service. The trust does not apply to only transaction, but extended to data, service, process, business logic and physical objects. I love the block chain because it has ten characteristics that must be understood in a holistic manner.

Bold Investing Scholarship
One investing tip that i have taken to heart was taught by my university lecturer at Walden University. Professor Stephen Peters teaches finance at the graduate level, and he taught us the investors guide to option trading.
Professor Peters stated that an option was a financial derivative whose price was based on the value of the underlying asset. Options contract were usually traded on public exchange and privately traded with slight regulatory oversight known as over the counter.
According to the lecturer, over the counter was not recognized much because it was not standardized and accessible to retail investors. An option always allowed the the holder the opportunity to buy and sell some of the underlying asset such as stock, usually at the predetermined price before the future date. The professor demonstrated that the American option and the European option were welled known and acceptable in the advance nations.
The American option was exercise before the expiration date and regarded as the most popular one, and flexible to use. The European option was exercised at the expiration date. The investment guru, professor Peters stated that the calls and puts were the basic types of options used by the Americans. The calls gave the basic right to buy the underlying asset at a given price within a time frame. Where as the puts allowed the holder to dispose the underlying asset. The professor opined that the contract parameters were specified before the trade start. This investment tip and explanation by the professor, enabled me to understand the whole genesis of the option trading and its potential benefit to investors. I love it and can picture it at the bottom of my heart.

Thirdly, I help in the distribution of blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothing and food on a regular basis with the hope that we give some comfort to those people in the community who needs assistance. This is because, giving is a twin sister of kindness, which makes someone smile. It makes me feel important, respected and connected to others. I also share my knowledge for free without charging a dim in my community I lived. I am always committed in doing this and it has become my passion.
As a volunteer, I spend three hours helping the senior citizens with their house work. I assist some of them by washing their cooking utensils, sweeping the surrounding, and increase opportunities for them and shared interesting stories.

It is the most important that one needs to do the right thing now to fix his problems, overcome challenges, create opportunity and change his luck and results.

Bold Friendship Matters Scholarship
Friendship is like rose flowers. If i take good care of them, they grow and boom until one has a beautiful garden. The acclaimed philosopher Alexander Nehamas launches an original and far-ranging investigation of friendship. Exploring the long history of philosophical thinking on the subject, from Aristotle to Emerson and beyond, and drawing on examples from literature,art, drama, and his own life, Nehamas shows that for centuries, friendship was a much a public relationship as it was a private one-inseparable from politics and commerce, favors and perks. Now that it is more firmly in the private realm, Nehamas hold, close friendship is central to the good life.
Friendship is a sweet way to say 'thank you for all you are and all you do' to that one friend who keeps me grounded, but is always up for anything, knows exactly how to make me laugh and is there for me, when i need a good cry and makes my bad days better and all the days i share together absolutely unforgettable Friendship is there in my favorite memories.

In friendship, people need people to interact with, connect in a positive way and to feel that they belong and are value. People need people to look out for each other's well-being and to keep each other safe, both physically and mentally. Friendship is not a big thing but it is a million little things. It is sweet.
Hobbies Matter
One of my favorite hobbies is digital art, which is more multifarious potential for expression and visualization which has become the art of our time. It is the art which uses technologies that fundamentally change our societies. This art form has the most comprehensive potential for modern cultural urgency.
Digital art today is taking highly disparate forms , like time- based installation art, tele -presence art, genetic and bio art, robotics, net art, and space art. It is also experimentation , with nanotechnology, artificial and creating virtual agents and avatars, and database supported art.
Through it expression potential, all senses are addressed and ability which exceeds technically that of traditional art such as painting and sculpture, attained a key role in our information societies. The art works both represent and reflect on the revolutionary development which the image has undergone over the years.
Digital art installation include digital stills and video, 3D objects and animation, digital texts and music, sound objects, noises and textures, where by different meaning are been inscribed and combined with each other.
I enjoy the digital art because it makes use and express the multifarious potential of digital art. William Kentridge, one of the best known artists of the 21st century, also has been working on the subject of a history of vision for years.'Even historic image media like the mirror anamorphosis have made their way into his contemporary media art. In 2007, he created hybrid which previously was nonexistent in the media history of seeing for his eight-minutes.

That terrible shock of my father shook the whole family, because he was the bred winner and an asset of the house, but who was wiser than God?
Even though, i did not get the greatest start in life, this was because at age twelve i had to do part time job after closed from school, i grasped life with my both hands and got off my backsides to achieve great things in life.

Mutuality assists me always to perform act of service and kindness. It brings my negotiation sessions, both offering and trading concessions with positive giving and receiving,which makes the process feel better. The outcomes are more rewarding to both parties.
Pro activity brings an amazing opportunity which each of the negotiators has to influence positive change. The beauty is that every one wins. As a leader i infused pro activity in the negotiation process with win-win attitudes and actions.

Bold Wisdom Scholarship
One sentence i could share with the world would be 'in business, work smart always because this is the strategy to success'. In business the winners are not the ones who do the most of all the things, but the ones who do the important things.
When your team or entire organization has absolute clarity about what is most important, the kind of shared sense of direction, purpose and priorities, it absolutely maximize one's efficiency and effectiveness. When one's business is able to create and sustain success which would incorporate what matters most to the customers in his core strategy, the customers become satisfied.
Leaders need to have a great team in order to produce great products or service and wonderful results achieved.This is the foundation of the business, because one needs to focus and pick on the lane. It is always frustrating, stressful, exhausting and counter productive when the leader and the team are trying to do many things at a time. When one does an extraordinary job on three or four things that matters the most, not only would the one succeed, but the one would likely succeed far beyond his/her expectations.
Businesses are sucked in the middle of the road because they are not focused on those core activities that can actually advance their strategies. The reality of the market place is that, ultimately quality wins. My why is that when one is best at what he/she does, one is competitively and easy to do the business with, then he/she wins. The market place is always telling the business that, quality performance is one of sure factor that drives success. When the business is being so good at the foundation, it portrays the leaders as extraordinary and the business win it all.

Grandmaster Nam K Hyong Scholarship
When my father passed away, I never let life happen to me. As humans, I knew that every one has a predisposition to die, but I wanted to take control of my own destiny as best as I could, because life was bitter and unfair but I pushed in life so that I could start living. That terrible shock of my father shook the whole family, but who was wiser than God?
Even though, I did not get the greatest start in life, this was because of at age twelve, I had to do part time odd job after closed from school.

The women in my community have low self esteem because they do not work and have no money which have let them to show low pride and life satisfaction compared to their peers who are working. I would connect with Micro finance institution to give soft loans with free interest to this vulnerable women to start retail businesses in the community. This is because Microfinance has been a life time for a lot of lower income level. It has helped them to break the poverty cycle and better their lives It has been recognized as valuable financial service tool for the vulnerable with a strong growth potential at the base of the pyramid.

All my elder brothers and sisters graduated from the elementary school with no better skills to face the world. This was because we were many and taking care off by a single parent. My daddy passed away, few years after I was born. Life became very difficult to bear.
Luck, good omen, and Christian teaching through Sunday's school from my teenage years saved my life. This was because most of my peers had passed away through alcoholic drinks, drug addicts and hopelessness.
I realized that in sickness and in health, through success and failure, the course of my life was both destiny and unpredictable, but how I deal with the destiny was in my own hands. That small slither of opportunity where I can manage the unpredictability that envelops me on all sides was what I could control. Fighting for my life and become rich requires the same skills of courage, emotional discipline and capacity to deal with unfairness and adversity without becoming a victim of either.

Bold Investing Scholarship
One investing tip that i took to heart was the one taught by my lecturer at Walden University during finance lectures. He advised the students to invest as owners and let the money work for them instead of other people.
Secondly, he advised us to invest consistently and we should never try to beat the market if we were not expert, and that the expert scarcely wins in the game of trying to beat the market. We should try to be habitually consistent invest with large sum of money till we reach our goal.
Thirdly, we should let time be our ally to profit from the power of compound interest. He stated that even though we should give our money to others to use, that is to work for them and in return have them pay us interest. That is what one does when he or she opens a saving account, buy a certificate of deposit or a bond. It makes one not to be the owner but the lender or loaner. Being a loaner makes one investment more secured and have a higher rate of return for security.
According to the professor, ownership was more than profitable for two more reasons, thus earning profits and appreciating capital. Earning a profit was regarded as the periodic return on investments, whereas capital appreciation comes from the actual change of the value of the stock. While it was motivated by profit levels, it was also influenced by other factors such as inflation, future prospects, relative performance as well as supply and demand for the shares of the company one invests in.
In the short term, a small difference in returns on investment or increase rates may not seem big but in the long run, it could mean alot of in fortune.
Bold Patience Matters Scholarship
Being patient is important to me because a patient dog eats the fattest bone and being patient and tactical leads to victory. Pain is the experience of all human beings. Every one experiences pain at some point in lives during that season of suffering. In the biblical theory, Job was a practical example. He was healthy, wealthy, successful and a business man and moreover, dedicated father.
Bandits raid his assets and destroyed his property. All his children were killed and his body became infected with horrible boils and open, festering wound. Job had never sinned against God. He was a man of great endurance and patience in the midst of intense suffering. Job was able to maintain confidence in God's sovereignty in the midst of adversity. This confidence gave him incredible patience.
One has to be patient in order to be able to endure seasons of suffering, recognized like Job and know that God is sovereign in every body's life.
If one wants to be successful in life, he or she has to be patiently endure suffering like Job, and should not ask God to explain himself. Unwavering trust is rare and precious thing because it often demands a degree of courage that borders on the heroic. When one comes across failure, rejection, abandonment, betrayal, unemployment, loneliness, depression, the lost of loved one and he is deaf to everything but the shriek of his or her own pain, the world become suddenly hostile, menacing place as one cries out in anguish, but requires a heroic courage of trust in the love of God.

I also do most my productive work in private, free from distractions that intrude on solving problems at hand. It takes psychological analysis to see me leading others, multiply the energy and skills of others. I valued what i personally accomplished and motivate other people to accomplish much more than any one individual could do on their own.

He trained the students in English and English Literature for us to become future educators in the field of English. His stylistic way of teaching help students to prepare adequately for the national examination.
My why is that when he is teaching logic in class, he distinguishes the process from most problem solving and strategy formulation methodologies which focuses on rigorous cause effect analysis, based on sufficiency and necessary logic, at all stages of the analysis. It enables us to think logically and draw correct conclusions from the facts presented to us, identify the fallacy in a simple, worry, if then statement or build a sound deduction from valid assumption.
He always encourage us to build a strategy to take us to the results which was our ultimate goal. He stated that logical thinking process leads students from definition of the result we want to achieve, provide us with a rigid process to identify the roots of the undesirable effects we experience and expose the faulty assumption, and conflict that often explain the existence of the root causes.

What drove my interest in going to college was the following. Firstly, i wanted to upgrade myself and become an asset to the America government.

An example is Mrs Kamala Harris who may become the next president of U.S.

Bold Influence Scholarship
If i were a highly influential figure, the main thing i would stand for is child's right to education. Parents want the best for their children. This is not a matter of spending lavishly on education or buying the latest educational toys for their children. But it is a matter of spending time with the child and expending the effort to maximize what the child is being provided by the school and at home.
When parents participate in their children education especially at the kindergarten level, it is paramount to their success. Active participation do not mean that parents have to spend longer hours at their children school as a volunteer, but it does include reading all of the communications the school sends either to parents directly or home with the kids.
Secondly, parents should do their best to read the school hand book and send the kids to school on regularly basis. Guardians must also make it a must to attend school events if possible. They must try to attend class parties and parent to teacher conferences.
Also parents should do their best to find out what curricula the child will be covering and how they can help facilitate learning. The teachers also should try to identify the child's learning style, social skills, problem-solving abilities and coping mechanisms.They are really true partners in children upbringing and child's well-being.

My teacher used the traditional teaching method by demonstrating and using practical closed problems with predetermined answers to prepare me for mathematics. Mathematics plays a vital role in my daily life, such as time tracking, driving, cooking or jobs such as accounting, finance, engineering and software.
I got interested in mathematics when miraculously i got grade one (excellent) and this encouraged me to fly high. After my first degree, i taught mathematics in secondary school as my national service to the Republic of Ghana. I educated the students in principles of mathematics, such as geometry, algebra and calculus.

The climate can no longer be assured to be stationary, and the observed data sets cannot necessary characterize the future climate. This is because human beings are burning fossil fuels for electricity production, industry and transportation. Also, human beings are producing food at a huge scale, mainly intended for livestock, and also transforming the earth's ecosystem, reducing its capacity to remove the pollution dumped into the atmosphere, water and soil.
The positive impact on climate are projected to grow. At the same time, there is the the ability to develop adaptation strategies that will address many climate related risks, as well as taking advantage of possible opportunities. Firstly, i will change my method of transportation. I will stop using the family car when travelling or going to work.

Bold Caring for Seniors Scholarship
One thing i will do to improve the lives of the elderly people in my community is their health. Health is considered as one of the most precious value in life. Health which is described as wealth is non negotiable and its longevity is been protected and enhanced as much as possible. A doctor or a nurse usually investigate a body using modern equipment, taking blood pressure, checking the blood sedimentation rate or using the x-ray diagnostics. In such a way, health is determined.
Christopher Boorse (1997) defines disease as a type of internal state which is either an impairment of normal functional ability or a limitation on functional ability caused by environmental agents. The elderly people in my community are healthy when all their organs function with at least typical efficiency ,and thus in relation to survival and reproduction.
Health is regarded as well-being. This is because the elderly people in my community feel well when they are healthy. When the senior citizens in my community are identified with complete physical, mental and social well-being, then there is a great achievement.
Health as ability is emphasized as a foundation for achievement. A healthy elderly person in my community has the ability to perform the actions he/she needs to perform, but an unhealthy elderly person is prevented from performing one or more of those actions. Illness entails suffering, with disability often regarded as the result of feelings such as pain, fatigue or nausea.
When the elderly people in my community are healthy, then it shows that their bodily and mental state have at least the second-order ability to realize all their vital goals given in a set of standard or reasonable circumstances.
Pettable Veteran Student Debt Grant
Mental health is important to me due to the following reasons. Firstly, is the tension between advancing the rights of people with mental health problems and the attitude in the society. There is too much abuse, discrimination and social injustice which is experienced by people with mental health problems. Therefore, if the law or legislative action is used to fight for this social injustice, it will be a wonderful achievement. This is because protecting and ensuring the human rights and fundamental freedom of people who had long term physical, mental, intellectual in interaction with various barriers,may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
Secondly, stigma, discrimination and structural violence is a great concern. In the realm of enforcement, the mental health law can make people to believe that persons with mental health problems are fully fledged citizens. The law can also prohibits people from harassing and abusing people with mental health problems, or from denying them with jobs when in actual facts, they qualified to be hired.
Also the law can impose duties upon sectors and organizations to have due regard to the need to promote equality of opportunity and eliminate discrimination and harassment. This has the virtue of shifting emphasis away from the individual who has been wronged and placing the onus and responsibility. Improving the lives of people with mental health problems fundamentally demands pursuing social and structural is better than individual solutions.
'A focus on social justice may provide an important corrective to what has been seen as a growing over emphasis on individual pathology. Mental health is produced socially, and is above social indicator and therefore requires solution. A focus on collection efficacy, as well as personal efficacy is required.' (Friedli, 2009). One stigmatizing term is intellectual disabled.

Individuals with developmental disabilities may display a broad array of challenging behaviors that are necessary for assisting in every day. The first step is for me to define that person's challenging and desire behavior, which can be assist in its measurement, assessment and treatment. Applied behavior analysis is an empirically based approach that can be used to teach adaptive and desirable behaviors and decrease the challenging behaviors observed in various setting. It provides a means of addressing the challenging behavior of individuals with developmental disabilities. It consist of a variety of environmentally- based procedures to increase socially significant behavior. It is based on learning principles and procedures, and many of the techniques used in this field have been empirically validated to be effective at changing overt and covert. The use of applied behavior analysis has led to a greater understanding of the occurrence of both normal and abnormal behavior and has resulted in the development of many empirically--based treatment procedure for challenging behaviors.
Some of the principles of positive behavior support to improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities are as follows. Firstly, is the prevention effort or antecedent based treatment. It involves the effort of reducing the individual's motivation for engaging in the challenging behavior and changing antecedent stimuli in the individual natural environment. I will also used non contingent reinforcement to reduce the individual's motivation for engaging in the challenging behavior. This approach may reduced the individual's motivation to engage in undesired behavior and thereby make it less to occur.
Also, changing the antecedent stimuli the natural environment. A quick method of preventing the individual 's challenging behavior is to manipulate the antecedent stimuli that controls behavior. It includes people who are present before the individual's challenging behavior occurs. Stimuli in the environment that consistently precede the behavior can either be eliminated or changed to affect the likelihood of the behavior.
Another method to change stimuli involves an overall improvement of the quality of the individual's environment , known as environmental enrichment. It involves increasing the individual's access to preferred activities, and providing a variety of choices available in the everyday environment.
Finally, actively increasing or teaching functionally equivalent replacement and other desirable behavior. An individual vocal stereotype that is maintained by sound may be decreased by encouraging play with auditory toys, a functionally equivalent replacement behavior.

The portrait of former president Barack Obama is one of my favorite piece of art in modern century (21st century). I admired his portrait because he made history in 2009 by miraculously becoming the first Africa American president of the United States of America.
He came to solve the worsting financial crisis Americans were undergoing through since the great depression. Kehinde Wiley designed the portrait of Barack Obama. The background of the portrait was filled with flowers, which demonstrated former president life history, character and leadership style. The posture of the great man in the portrait pinpointed how he was in charged of his administration as the number one man. His artistic and stylistic way of managing affairs in the white house does not differentiate him from the portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
The portrait expresses the former president individuality as a humble man, full of wisdom and hope the nation can depend on during crisis times. He stands for more than himself and family, but as a father of all the people in the country. Moreover, the portrait of Obama shows an outstanding and distinguished personality with exemplary leadership style.

Developing a winning attitude inspired me #back 2 school. Poverty of the mind was the greatest obstacle to financial freedom. Most of the expressions'it is impossible', 'i can't make it , are some of the great poverty of the mind.
A winning attitude is an indispensable ingredient in success. In personal financial management, no one needs to be a pessimist because for the patient and enthusiastic, it takes gradual process to succeed.

My favorite scientific discovery was the Artificial intelligence (AL) tool which assist students in their education through practice. It is called Julian and was created by Walden university in conjunction with Google Cloud. It is a machine learning capabilities which has been driven through both personalized and knowledge mastery in helping students various educational activities.
The new born Julian Tutor (artificial intelligence) is part of the institution mission to transform and change students destiny through innovation in higher education.

The new technology was designed in helping only Walden students to master academic concepts, review them and through on demand learning activities. Julian engages students in learning dialogue through chat functionality, offers students help, evaluate students response and demonstrate feed back to them. The wonderful tool assists in four learning areas. This includes select your facts, response a question, paraphrase both knowledge and learning notes. These activities are automatically generated by Julian using machine language models based on Bidirectional Encoder Representatives from transformers which is also called BERT, originally designed by Google Brain.
Walden professors load the course content into the tool's platform and direct the required knowledge in the form of learning units. Julian then indexes the content , linking each learning unit to the various sections of the learning contents. The professor then do a follow up with a quality assurance review to make sure that all the learning units and indexes are perfectly in order.

Bold Financial Literacy Scholarship
One personal finance lesson that i find important was the creating of emergency fund which was taught by my professor in financial independence class. That was a wise planning which meant that one should make provision for such occurrences According to the professor, when one starts saving for the future, the tendency was to withdraw the funds when emergencies occur. It was a short term cushioning fund to meet unexpected expenditure outside the budget. This includes fixing a leaking roof, replacing the boiler when a breaks down in the winter, undertaking a major car repair or call in the plumber when the means got burst.
The purpose of the fund was for only emergencies. An emergency involves a high degree of unpredictability as to timing and the magnitude of expense. How much was needed for such fund usually depend on the income level of the saver. If some one was saving $5,000 a month and not living ostentatiously, one month's reserve was likely to be adequate for any emergencies. If on the other hand, the person earning $ 1,000 , the saver needed to save up to five months to truly create an emergency fund.
Where to put the emergency fund was very important.The fund must be available within a day.That meant that one cannot invest in any savings or investment plan that was tie up the money and requires longer notice of with drawer. A person could used his or her certificate of deposit or savings account for part of the emergency fund provided they were not tied down for a long period. Creating an emergency fund allows a person to concentrate on a long term financial goals without the inception of temporary set backs.
Imagine Dragons Origins Scholarship
I am an immigrant from Ghana, west Africa and been relocated to the United States of America. I have the opportunity to do my doctorate degree in the promised land. As an immigrant, i am been positively influenced by the media or experiences gathered from other people. I am absolving both realistic and unrealistic attitudes from my new location.
America has a global reputation for being a place for improved opportunities, relative economic and political stability, and a self-governing society that encourages social freedoms and independent opinions that are often stifled in other countries. I am in a country in the process of learning how to interact and navigate in unfamiliar environment, in a manner that is consistent with the local social norms and culture. The changes that i have undergone when i came into contact with a different culture and learn to cope and settle into that new environment is exciting. Some of the common stresses i underwent includes communication barriers, interrupted social networks, limited financial resources, poor health care ( since i did not have the national insurance scheme), minimal social resources, and unfamiliar experiences with discrimination.
In addition to these stress caused during the period of my adjustment, racial and ethic minority immigrant is worried about overt discrimination in social situations such as obtaining housing, applying for part time job, being harassed by the police, and receiving poor customer service. I had a lot of stress within the first six months living in the United States of America.
Another challenges i encounter was the social values. The United States of America is an individualistic culture and Ghana is a collectivist culture. An individualistic culture is the type of culture in which each person's identity is unique and independent of each other. A collectivist culture is the type in which each person's identity is contingent upon the character of the surrounding community, group or family. As a black immigrant, i was more susceptible to prejudice, discrimination and increased stress in the states, compared to non ethnic minority immigrant. What i realized was that perceived discrimination was especially common among African immigrants because the media tends to portray negative stereotype and characterized them as destitute and impoverished.
I entered into the united states with the idealized view of the country and the opportunities that might be available to me. This made me to report a high level of optimism and a strong level of control which suppressed the incident of depressive symptoms. These challenges have shaped my dreams for the future. It has made me to realized that America does not entertain laziness but gives equal opportunities to every body. As president Joe Biden stated that 'America gives hope to the most desperate people on earth, it guarantees that every one is treated with dignity and give hate no safe harbor. It instills in every person in this country the belief that no matter where you start in life, there is nothing, you cannot achieve if you work at it'. It had made me to realized that , with hard work and perseverance, my dreams will come true. There is also dignity in labor if i concentrate and focus on my dreams.
The United States is one of the developed countries and i believed everything is good, so i do really see big dreams of mine for the future. This is because the country is a blessing for my dreams and vision.
My future vision is to empower the masses especially the women in my community for a self awaking , resulting in the improving their living standard supported by productivity and growth. Do my best to sponsor the vulnerable children to attend school and become better citizens for the society.

Thirdly, it has enabled me to surround myself with good people who have strong family and social connections, look very healthier and have support network. It has also assisted me in volunteering me with my time to help some one who needs my services.
Finally, i have been able to set smart goals which are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. This is a great achievement on my side. Without mental health, i will not have been able to set these fantastic goals.
Concerning relationships, it has assisted me to have good -quality relationships among my family, peers and others, which has given me a closed and positive caring with a sense of purpose and belonging. This has made me to have lower rate of anxiety and depression, higher self-esteem, greater empathy and become more trusting. It has boosted my immune system and lengthen my life span for the better.
Secondly, it has given me good social ties with the community. This has brought a bond of social togetherness, lower the rate of mental health problem in the community. Stress has been lowed to the minimum level because we do not argue unnecessary, in order to lose temper more frequently.
Relationship has also reduced depression. This has prevented mounting pressure to make sure that life rums smoothly as possible by taking more responsibility than i used to have and given extra support to the needy. Also, too much anxiety which can take toll on both the family and me has gone down drastically. Anxiety which can make me feel tense, may make it hard for me to relax when i am with either my partner, friends or family.
Concerning with understanding the world, mental health may be confused by a teenager who tries to figure out what really mental health is meant to him or her and the family. It is unfortunate that i am very hopeless to change our society and the world the perception of mental health, nor i am not able to solve adequately the world's disconnect between mental and physical health issues. The social and economic disadvantage and deprivation, low level of education, unemployment, discrimination and violence are great concern. This makes it very difficult in understanding of the world.

Mathematics is connected with numerals. It is the science of numbers. Arithmetic, algebra and geometry involves in mathematics which was upgraded to advance level of calculus and then to the field of computer. Mathematics allows mankind to make predictions. The eye of mathematics sees so deep into both living and nonliving things Continuous practice of mathematics leads to knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom connects with humility and transformation of the heart, body and soul. When mathematics and science are linked together, it makes it thinkable to understand the universe. The actual work of mathematics is when the problem is been introduced. The problem solving justifies the solution.Mathematics is therefore a subset of science, which implies that there is a positive correlation between the two subjects.
Science is advancing almost every day.Science is divided into different branches such as physics, chemistry and biochemistry. Physics studies fundamental particles, whereas chemistry provides insight into elements, molecules and their interactions. Biochemistry gives information on the chemicals involved in the life process such as deoxynbonucleic acid, protein and enzymes. Biology expands the information on larger structure such as organs in living bodies. zoology refers to animals whereas botany deals with plants.
Minerals, plants and mankind are composed to be defined in this beautiful world. Man is made up of matter and energy. Scientist demonstrates to mankind that 'nothing can be created from nothing'. But in the spiritual field, anything can be created by the supreme will of God. All the beautiful things that exist in this wonderful world can be made to disappear within a second whereas they can reappear again within a twinkle of an eye through the super natural God who is invisible. Though material laws do not apply to divinity, there is a link between science, spirituality and mathematics. This is because the mind mediates between the body and soul, so also connects mathematics with physics and metaphysics.
Spirituality mostly concern with matters of the spirit. It helps in developing an integral part of man with deep awareness of his values. Mankind are usually empty waste containers. Through prayers and chants, we are able to connect with God for his blessings, protection and guidance. Mankind is able to fill his soul with super natural powers and holy spirit. Filling our soul with holy spirit and asking forgiveness for our sins lead to enlightenment. Spirituality is a way of life. It makes one to be honest, generous, and have sympathy among each follow human being. Without spirituality, all things are in vain.
It can be deduced that mathematics plays an important role in the science of the physical world. When mathematics correlates with science, it makes mankind to understand the universe. However, there is a gap between the knowledge of science and the spiritual knowledge of infinite. Though some aspects of spirituality can be explained with the knowledge of mathematics and science, it looks very difficult to understand other aspect of spirituality.

Bold Deep Thinking Scholarship
Poverty has been the biggest problem facing the world right now. This is because it has prevented many people to become financially independence. To be financially independent means that people will get out of the rat race and sustain one's life style if one chooses not to work to earn wages nor salary.To be poor does not mean that people are lazy. Laziness is concern with lack of motivation and unwillingness to make effort of daily work. It is usually a temporary period.
Poverty deals with lack of opportunity, hunger, illiteracy, education, physical and mental hopelessness and cannot boast of the brighter future. It also involves neglect of economic shortage, political and social exclusion, taking advantage of social development , and one who is pessimistic about the future.
Leadership style by leaders who lead their countries, governance, economic development, political governance and savings habits of people also make people and countries to be vulnerable. Poor leadership had triggered mismanagement and corruption of most third world leaders , subjecting their citizens to be poor. Also, some of the countries economic development has been very sluggish due to military coups leading to majority of their citizens trapped in abject poverty. Finally, some of the countries may be blessed with natural resources, but due to poor economic policies, bad omen and gap in development planning might have contributed to the citizens been vulnerable.
One way we can work on this problem is as follows. Poverty may be a condition but it can be reversible but at a slower rate. World leaders should use good economic policies, adopt a servant leadership style and say no to corruption and greed. Leaders should be accountable and speedy economic transformation of their countries can reduce the chronic poverty of their people to a minimum level.

Microfinance, the end of poverty is my fovorite book. It was written by one of my famous writers called Dr V. Renegarajan. Dr Renegarajan's book makes a wonderful contribution to the improvemnent of the literature in the Business and Management field.Perhaps, one notable inclusion in the book is the separation of practical examples and procedures from the theoretical aspect
The artistic and stylistic way in which the book has ben designed and organized made it thought provoking.There are seven chapters and each chapter serves as a lesson for readers. The first chapter focuses on the facts about microfinance which is followed on the second chapter, explaining the corellation between microfinance and the vulnerable. The third one deals with financial inclusion, micro financial institutions and microfinance products and services.

The sixth chapter demonstrates the global concern of microfinance sector, whereas the seventh chapter highlights on the need for proper monitoring and evaluation for assessing socio economic changes brought by microfinance in the poverty sector.

The mission statement is bringing positive in the lives of those who are economically poor, discriminated and have blessed with very few occassions, to celebrate and smile. More over, the uplitfment of individuals,families and communities.

I will love to study and do research on the economics of climate change and its policy which may be similar to environmental policy in the near future. This is because the global climate has changed due to the compilation of greenhouse gas emissions. This is calling for attention into intense research into the causes and solutions to the problems at hand.
My interest in the study of the economics of climate changes will strengthen me to do quality research and examine the uncertainties which is governing the extent of tomorrow's climate change, and the biophysical impacts of such a drastic change. Though climate scientists are doing their best to find ways of reducing emissions, the changes in climate is important issue. This is because it is having a long effects on the earth's biological and physical systems. This impact will be very important to measure inorder to assess the potential risk associated with the outcomes.
Some of the innovative policy changes that could help curb the climate crisis are as follows. Firstly, there was a policy documents designed by the United Nations through the intergovernmental panel on climate change. These policy documents demonstrated the projected outcomes through alternative representative concentration pathways for grenhouse gas emissions. This documents were designed in 2014. The expected emissions were critical to help in forcasting accurately both physical, biological, economic and the social effects of climate changes.
The representative concentration pathways were assumption selected by the intergovernmental panel on climate changes,which repressented the scientific consensus on important pathway
s for greenhouse emission and contacting, emission of air pollution combined with land uses. It also made a a selection of its projection and analysis. Though the intergovernmental panel on climate change never assigned probalities to different emissions pathways through the experiment, it pinpointed that the pathway may required different changes in technology and policy.
Also, the United State government should try its best to enact a comprehensive and effective national program which is compulsory, and market base limit and incentive on emission of greenhouse gases that will slow, stop and withdraw the growth of emission which will have no important efect on the national economy, and will also be adopted by othe world bodies.
The need for technological change on a large scalewill help in great reduction in world greehouse gas emission. The reduced in in mafor demand for energy in all sectors of the economy. This will help in drastic reduction reduction of fossil fuel. There should also be improvement in in the efficiency of energy utilization so that few fossil fuel will be required to meet energy demand, which will results in carbon dioxide emission reduction. Replacing coal and oil which has high carbon fossil to alternatives such as natural gas, nyclear, and renewable energy sources such as biomas, wind and solar will be a fanstastic innovative policy that will curb the climatic crisis.

Hyperactivity Disorder occurs through developmental behavior disorder characterized by inattentiveness and impulsiveness and in several cases become symptomatic during childhood. This was what James Brown, a family friend was experiencing .Despite the symptoms tending to improve with his age, James Brown was usually experiencing ongoing deficit.
According to his doctor, (Dr Jones Smith), the causes underlying this prevalence remains illusion, but there has has been a positive correlation with the frequency of the alcohol intake. The excessive alcohol intake by Mr James Brown had trigger the increased risk of attention deficit. This has affected his personal mood, thought and behavior. His default mode network which connects between interacting brain region during his wakeful rest has been gradually decreasing which was pinpointed by the doctor. It has made him very difficult to function at work. A highly educated professional, finds difficulty with memory and thinking. He was also not seen in public and social gathering most of the time. The mental illness has made him to feel disconnected from the society and classmates.
I want to use Mr Brown's experience to positively impact the lives of others battling mental illness in the following ways.
Firstly, people with mental illness should know that there is hope for them, and that miracles can turn things outside down.This is the number one victory for the mental illness people. Secondly, they should never feel guilty, shame, disbelief and anger among themselves. They should know that there is hope for speedy recovery as well as they are never alone in the society.
Thirdly, they should remember that their continuous support and assistance is never negotiable. They should therefore be patient with themselves and others. Fourthly, they should always stay positive at all times. Negativity should be abandon and throw away. Positive words should be their number one goal. Moreover, they should take their drugs and eat healthy diet always.

However, some academic scholars define poverty as hunger, lack of shelter or access to health care or access to education. The consistent level of poverty in my community predicts that , poverty is the effect in which both the society and resources are distributed. In order wards, laziness does not correlate with poverty. Poverty being a monster should never been entertain in my community.
What i boldly did recently was to empower the women in my community. Economic empowerment of the women is the process of improving their standard of living which was very important and supported by productivity and growth. Jobs were the key driver of improvement which strategically changed the destiny of the women when they apply it. Job creation by the women was a great opportunity to assist them push away poverty, raise their consumption pattern and contribute excellently to the community in which they live.
Jobs create happiness for the women in my community, which in effect boast their morale and trigger social aspiration combined with good status. I personally arranged and invited a microfinance institution to come and assist the women in my community with soft loans at lower interest rate. This was because the women were desperately in need of small loans to create small businesses for themselves. Microfinance will raise their living standard, and prevent chronic poverty from the community. Due to lack of work in the community, the women showed low self esteem as compared to their male counterparts who were seriously working.
Microfinance has been a lifeline for a lot of lower income people (women) at the lower income level. It has assisted in breaking the poverty cycle and transformed lives of the people. It has been recognized as a valuable financial- service tool for the vulnerable with a strong growth potential at the base of the pyramid.
Microfinance scheme to the women in my community will slow down their vulnerable conditions and improve their active lifestyle. Loans given to these women will improve their children educational standard and miraculously reduced absenteeism. It will also help them by downsizing the abject poverty, and improve the income of these vulnerable by making a transition of every day survival to preparing for the brighter future. The good news was that i have touched the bottom of their hearts by changing their destiny. This has had a great impact on me and i felt very relieved.

Elevate Mental Health Awareness Scholarship
Mental health is referred to as how individual tries to recognized and managed his or her specific illness and the treatment required for it . It usually can affect any body by either his or her behavior and usually involves one's thinking pattern. Belief about mental sickness is shaped by one's attitude and individual's knowledge about the disease, and meddling with the person who has acquired the illness. The person living with the sickness is usually restricted from employment, health and adoption. This occurred to my closed friend, Frank who unfortunately was addicted with illicit drugs and had a mental problem.
He was stereotype by his colleagues in school and employment but i never let him down. My perception to Frank influences the assistance or particular attention i was to give him. I never abandoned him . Some people in my community believed that those with mental illness like my dear friend is as a result of super natural forces pursuing them for wrongful disobedience. This social difference as a result of mental sickness is unfortunate and it creates more problems.
Having a good relationship help the person with mental health issues to live longer and feel love. The quality of relationship i was having with Frank motivated him to prevent loneliness and isolation. Poor relationship complicate issues with the sick person than he or she is alone.
Having a healthy relationship and helping it to develop and maintain with the mental health person brings a strong social connection as an integral part of the well being.
Relationship matters a lot with mental health person. Engaging socially with the sick person shapes understanding and bond behavior throughout life. Attracting with a mental health person shows a core predictor for mental health and a relationship satisfaction with the sicklier, which form a positive bond and impact on growth as well as future attitude to relationship.
Relationship has also prevented bullying, social isolation and help to protect the vulnerable during difficult times like pandemic. This has made Frank to survived all these while. It has also prevented self-harm, ran away from home, engaging in risky behavior, attempting to use drugs and alcohol, combined with suicidal thoughts.
Being in lovely relationship with the mental health person links with both physical and mental health benefits. This lowers mortality rate and have a positive benefit to health. Unhappy relationship with the mental health person can be destructive and have a higher negative influence on both physical and mental health than refusing to be in relationship.
My interest in nursing as a career sparked when i was fifteen years old. These was many years ago when i was preparing to enter high school.

My passion for nursing became great when my grand mother who has passed away was admitted to the emergency ward in the hospital in 2009. She was suffering from the ulcer of the intestine, and was operated for continuous six hours to remove the tumor.
My most memorable recalled included volunteering to help the aged people for one month, and the giving of first aid to school children who were trapped in a dug well whilst playing football. However my deepest interest in nursing started fading when i got a credit in biology at the high school instead of good grade in the examination.This made placement attitude went against me.

Economic empowerment of women is about improving their living standard which is supported by productivity.and growth. It involves wonderfully by social change. Jobs are key driver of improvement. Job creation by women is an opportunity to assist them move out of poverty, raise their consumption and contribute to the community and the nation as a whole. It will create happiness for the women, while will boast each individual goals and trigger social aspiration combined with good job status.
When women in my community are been supported with microfinance, it raises their living standard and prevent poverty to swallow them. Women in my community who do not work show low pride and life satisfaction as against their male counter part who are seriously working.
An alternative way to use business to prevent social problems from my community and lack of education is through microfinance. According to academic scholars, microfinance has been a lifeline for a lot of lower income people (women) at the lower income level. It has helped break their poverty cycle and better their lives. It has been recognized as a valuable financial-service tool for the vulnerable, with a strong growth potential at the base of the pyramid.
Microfinance scheme to the women in my community will slow down their vulnerable condition and improve their healthy lifestyle.
The children of these women microfinance loanees will also benefit, improve their educational standard and drastically reduced absenteeism. It will also help by downsizing abject poverty and improve income of the vulnerable women to make a transition from 'everyday survival' to 'preparing for the future'. The great achievement is that these women destitute will be able to send their children to school for greater periods and invest in their wards education. This change is what i want in my community , because when the women are empowered , the whole community will be drastically transformed .
The change i want to see in my country is that many women should have access to education and top leadership positions in the country. The women formed a greater percentage of the population in the country. When the women are educated, the whole family is also educated. They are also good managers of the country and can prevent a lot of leakages especially from the financial sector.
There are only few women in leadership positions in the country. If women are to get opportunity to occupy top leadership positions in the country, they will play active role in the economy. I will be happy to see a woman to become the president of the United State of America one day. Even though, vice president Kamala Harris has paved the way, this has been a great achievement on the part of the women. A lot of women are to occupy strategic positions of the arms of government in the country. This will help shape the country for the better.
I will like to see women becoming world leaders to help reduce tension of war in the Korean peninsular, the middle east, the eastern Europe and Africa especially Congo Democratic Republic, and East Africa. Women will be able to control tension and solve amicably unnecessary misunderstanding among people, nations and race. Trade war will be avoided and people will be able to live side by side peacefully like the black and white piano.
I will act locally to make a difference by giving scholarships through bold.org/scholarships, and charity organization like DonorChoose.org. This will motivate young ladies to be responsible, work hard and see a brighter future for them. I will also be campaigning for women to be educated and stop abusing them for unjustifiable reasons. This will make them to be proud of their womanhood and sense of belonging.

They have the right to live together happily like the black and white piano which perform wonderfully well. Dr Joe Biden, the president of America stated on April 25, 2019, that 'America is an idea. An idea that is stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, more powerful than any dictator or tyrant. It gives hope to the most desperate people on earth, it guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity and give hate no safe harbor. It instills in every person in this country the belief that no matter where you start in life, there is nothing you cannot achieve if you work at it. That is what we believe'.
Social justice is where every citizen no matter the color , race and nationality need equal opportunity, right , justice and freedom to stay in America peacefully and harmony. Economic freedom is a guarantee for every person. Asians should have the right to liberty, access freedom, participate in any thing of their choice and the right to determine their destiny for the future.
I am endeavor to take action by campaigning for social change in the community where Asians live.This change will help in the transformation of the citizens though it may take time to materialize. Social change will start from the community (bottom way up), through the society, lawmakers and those in the authority. When people listen to each other's perspective on issues and ways of solving them without violent means, that is a great achievement. Social change is beautiful for the citizens and the society at large. Social change will help in the modification of relationship among people for the betterment of the society, forced institutions to change and culture norms to be modified.
