Boyd J. Cameron Memorial Scholarship
When I was six years old, I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I enthusiastically replied that I wanted to be a baker who would feed all the homeless people. I have always found joy in helping others, and I am committed to continuing to do so as I further my education and begin my career. I believe that our environment contributes to our lack of opportunities. By providing local underrepresented businesses with the resources, and support that is needed to improve their company we can build a sustainable sequence that continuously supports the community. My career goals are to become a marketing analyst specializing in supporting smaller businesses and to establish a non-profit dedicated to empowering low-income families by offering career resources, job training, and job placement opportunities. My nonprofit will also make higher education and essential resources accessible to low-income families and students.
As a first-generation student, I had to often look for information regarding my future on my own. I didn’t have access to all the latest information, and I ultimately felt stuck and confined in four walls filled with despair, failure, and shame. My upbringing has influenced my career path heavily. By experiencing these challenges to get into college alone I realized I wouldn’t want others that are in my shoes to experience the same challenges. In my early teens, I decided that I wanted to be able to provide for low-income families and underrepresented businesses. While extending my services to others I will connect with many families in need and provide them with assistance outside of just providing food, for instance, securing job applications, advocating for workplace opportunities, and dangerous and unethical living situations. By working to assist small businesses I am able to help these businesses flourish which will create jobs in the community which will in turn enhance these underrepresented communities. I will be able to aid students as they further their education and assist families as they access safe livable housing and other necessities. Through continuous hard work, research, and networking I will be able to expand my non-profit and marketing analyst career. I will be able to reach more people in need of my services and overall make a bigger impact within our community. As I succeed in my career, the success within my profession will contribute to the success of many families, businesses, and students. My vision is rooted in a belief that everyone regardless of their background deserves a chance to thrive, and I am determined to influence that change.

When I was six years old, I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I enthusiastically replied, "I wanted to be a baker who would feed all the homeless people." As a child it was obvious that I didn't have as much as the others around me, but my mother always made a way. My sister and I always went to bed with our stomachs full, but I couldn't say the same for my mother. Seeing her be so selfless encouraged me to be strong and selfless as well. I have always found joy in helping others, and I am committed to continuing to do so as I further my education and begin my career. My career goals are to become a marketing analyst specializing in supporting smaller businesses and to establish a non-profit dedicated to empowering low-income families by offering career resources, job training, and job placement opportunities.
