      Dedication for Education Scholarship
      I am a first-generation student who attends Fresno State as an undeclared student as of right now. I am planning on getting a master's in computer science for many reasons. In my household, I live with my mom and two sisters who are my inspiration to pursue a higher education. The reason why I wanted to go to college is to help out my family as well as my community or the world in one way or another. Both my siblings are younger, making me seem like their role model which gives me a reason why I want them to know that college will always be an option for their future. As of my life in high school, I was the Vice President of my Environmental club. I wasn't sure what I wanted to major in when I got to college but during my junior year, I joined a computer class which resulted in me getting that knowledge of a new subject. Having that door opened for me made me have a passion for computer science. I was also involved in my high school band which taught me time management and dedication towards something. Lastly, I was involved in my high school floristry class was something that made me realize that it wasn't for me but it gave me a sense of understanding the troubles of someone who is a florist which wasn't easy. With all these different subjects, I learned some struggles that others may go through and how computer science may help others. Computer science for me is a major that can help others with devices, apps, or any sort of technology. As well as it can help, it can also make sure that people's technology is safe with cybersecurity. In the world we are in today, there are a lot of negative things such as violence, racism, climate change, etc. With this being said, I want to make sure that I can use technology as a sort of safety for all. An example of how computer science can be a good sort of safety is creating a device like the device that can be worn as jewelry that has a button that can automatically call the police when someone is in danger. I want to be able to create a device that can be with the same intention of stately. Another form of safety can also be from software such as cybersecurity, passwords, etc. My goal is to create some sort of device or app that can help others.
      Revolutionizing Robotics and Computer Sciences Scholarship
      One thing that I would like to see undergo a revolution is a device or app that helps others. I am a first generation student who is a freshman in college as of today. Right now I am struggling with school but I am planning to push through the struggle and hope that one day I will be able to accomplish my dreams of pursuing computer science. I first started having an intrest on computer science when I was a little girl. I would try pulling apart phones to just see if I can build the phone back up. I think of computer science as a puzzle of math which is somehting that I do find intresting. I think this is true because the foundation for computer science is the coding and the typing skills but also needs a sort of thinking skill to understand the languange of coding and understand how to type that language in a good speed. i first started an engineering class when I was in 5th or 6th grade which gave me an idea of what this field was going to be about. In that class, the teacher would teach us how to build solar panels and how they work and what they are used for. I was intrested in this topic but knew that I wanted to focus more on the software of technology. Even though the engineering wasn't fully catching my intrest, I knew I wanted to be in this sort of field. During my life, I would always struggle with school work and always had to ask for help for the littlest things. I did not like the feeling of knowing that I was one of the only ones that couldn't understand what I was learning or what people were saying since English was my second language. This is why I would want to create a device or an app that can help people out in school or in their everyday lives. This can be a device that can make the life of others easier like a device to help out color blind people or a device to help those with disabilities. As well as an app or device to help others out at school. For example, there can be a device where a type of robot can help a student out by studying and get better in school or a device that they can carry around that can help them calm down from the stress of school. These are some ideas I can think of that I would like to see undergo a revolution.
