I know a lot of people lie on these, so I’m going to be as honest as possible.
I’ve always known I wanted to go to college for engineering since I was little. I was told at a very young age that I would have to do well in school in order to afford college.
I’ve always been confident in my ability as well. I never doubted that I wouldn’t be academically successful. This comes across as prideful because I always talk about my success to my peers, but I just get so excited that I do well that I have to let everyone know.
My main goal is to be apart of something that changes the world forever. I want to help push technology forward to improve the lives of everyone.

Bold Reflection Scholarship
I would say by pretty much any metric my life has been a good one. I have grown up with both of my parents in one household, our house makes enough money for us to be happy, and I have always been supported by my parents in anything I do.
My life in the public education system has also set me up for success. I have been blessed with wonderful teachers who try their best to give their students a 5 star education. My experiences in school have shaped me into the individual that I am today.
Also all my friends who help shape my personality into what it is are another factor of my success. We all care for on another and try to help each other succeed. Without my friends I would be lost.
Due to this solid foundation, I believe that, while my family have never been rich, the people around me have given me the tools I need to excel in life and become an exceptional human being
Bold Success Scholarship
My goals for the he future are I want to get a good paying job, make a ton of money before I’m 30, and change the world in a significant way.
I plan on achieving these goals in a very linear fashion. I’m going to graduate college and try to get a job lined up through an internship. Then, I will save and invest a great deal of my income. If I do this right and have a little bit of luck I should be considered rich by every metric before I hit 30. After that, I can either use my wealth to help others directly or use my job to help others indirectly.
The only part of my plan that is going to be extremely difficult is the before I’m 30, but I know I will be rich one day and that I’ll impact the world. It’s only a matter of time.
Bold Fuel Your Life Scholarship
I have found that a lot of things bring joy to my life. Playing video games, reading, chocolate milk, apple juice, being comfortable, and enjoying my time are all things that bring me joy big or small. Anything that I do not actively dislike, fuel my life. A lot of people need distinct goals or tasks to be happy, but I can find joy in pretty much anything. This is, in part, due to my subconscious love of completing tasks no matter what. I can not imagine being unhappy for extended periods of time because there are always things to do, people to meet, things to see, and things to experience. Another reason I will always be driven to move forward, I am able to be pleased by very simple things and a simple life style. That is why specific foods and drinks bring me so much joy.
Through my ability to enjoy completing tasks big or small and simple things, I will always have the fuel to get me through my life.
Brady Cobin Law Group "Expect the Unexpected" Scholarship
A legacy is something left behind that is remembered far after either the legacy was made or the person who left the legacy died. Leaving a legacy is what it means to be human in a way. Ever since people having been communicating, stories have been passed down through oral or written word. These stories were a way for a person to live on after their death or after the event that the story is about took place. This is how people left a legacy. Now it’s easier than ever to have a story told and seen by many people; however, it’s harder than ever to be remembered. In order for people to be remembered now and have a lasting legacy, they must do something truly important. There are many kinds of legacies. Some try and leave a legacy through money and power by becoming president or being rich. Other's leave a legacy by being kind and helping as many people as possible. Another kind of legacy would be left by creating something that is important or universally used. All of these are ways to leave a legacy big or small. I want to leave a legacy through helping with the creation of something important to the world that will help many people. This has been my dream for the longest time. If I can help make something that important, I’d leave a legacy that I deem worthy and would be content with my lot in life.
