FinalistBio
I am an 19-year-old high school student who is attending college for Nursing Studies at East Carolina University. I will be the first person in my family to attend a four-year university and I am very motivated to succeed in my future career field. My goal is to eventually become a Doctor of the Nursing Practice and work in Psychiatric Nursing.
As someone who has had an anxiety disorder throughout my entire life, I have grown to understand the importance of self-improvement and self-care. I also understand how it feels to feel out of place and struggle with confidence. My goal as a psychiatric nurse is to make my patients feel heard and supported. I want to be the kind of nurse that patients feel totally comfortable around and trust entirely with all aspects of their life.
I also plan to start a clothing business with social media accounts that will remind people to be kind to each other. It is extremely important to remind people to be kind and say nice things to each other as more and more people have started to get hateful comments on social media. I want to remind people that kind words can make all of the difference in someone's life and they can help in more ways than they realize.
My personal life goal is to continuously be the next best version of myself and to always be upleveling my life. I believe that there is always something that can be done to improve oneself and the more people who are improving themselves, the better the world will be:)

Bold Financial Literacy Scholarship
It has always been a dream of mine to live a very financially comfortable life. The most helpful piece of financial advice I have ever received is to have multiple sources of income. While I have not always had a strong financial figure in my life, I have always been motivated to live a very financially comfortable life. As I researched the habits of millionaires, the piece of advice that stood out to me the most was having more than one source of income. I have found that while it is possible to be extremely successful with only a single job, in most cases having a second source of income can be what differentiates your current lifestyle from your dream lifestyle. This second, third, or even fourth source of income can be in form of anything. One can own a clothing business, have a side hustle, be a social media influencer, and so many more.
While I am going to college for nursing, I have some ideas on what I would want my other sources of income to be. First, I have a clothing brand that is being worked on as I write this. It is going to be called "say nice things." and will primarily be a loungewear brand, with other products as well. The goal for this brand is to remind people to always be kind to each other and how saying kind words can make all of the difference in someone's life. Another source of income for me is my social media account. I post about my favorite clothes, coffee, makeup, hair products, and all sorts of lifestyle items. Brands pay me to promote their product, as long as I like it, and this can be done on my own time.
Bold Deep Thinking Scholarship
The lack of acceptance in the world right now is the biggest problem at hand. Our world is so divided over trivial characteristics such as skin color, religion, sexual orientation, and gender. People who are seen as different fear for their lives as people similar to them are getting killed and abused on a daily basis. There are hate groups for people who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, African Americans, Women, and so many more types of people. This behavior is immature, pathetic, embarrassing, and overall unacceptable. While people do not always have to like other people's personalities, it is insane to be unaccepting of a person based on a part of them that simply does not affect you.
One way the world can work on this is by teaching children from a young age that all people are equal and live under the same sun. It is important to realize at a young age that all people are deserving of living their lives how they choose to do so. Society needs to be better at teaching compassion for everyone, no matter if you enjoy their company or not. Instead of simply teaching anti-bullying in schools, students should be taught that no one is deserving of that behavior no matter who they are. I feel society has a hard time understanding that kindness, empathy, and compassion are truly the most important traits to learn as everyone is going through their own battles. People need to start being accepted.
