My name is Nabeel Hakeem-Olowu. I am an ambitious, goal-focused, and self-disciplined individual driven by a strong desire to achieve meaningful and important goals. Now, before I dive in, a little bit of back story. Life's adversities often serve as catalytic catalysts, driving people and families to new levels of self-awareness and progress. My family and I met a significant challenge that would forever change our lives as we began the laborious road of relocating to the United States. The insurmountable language barrier was the biggest obstacle we encountered upon arriving, but we overcame it and emerged stronger people for it.
My family and I were met with a formidable barrier the moment we set foot in the United States: the English language. Our lack of English skills severely hampered our opportunities for employment, further education, and social integration in the United States. Simple things like going to the store or using public transit turned into Herculean efforts. We experienced frequent miscommunication and severe loneliness as a result of our new location. Frustration was stoked by our failure to articulate our thoughts clearly, and we missed chances because of it. This test made us aware of our frailties and inspired us to overcome the language barrier through dogged persistence and hard work.
The fundamental necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, are hard to come by in my area because of corruption and embezzlement. I am now working with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg, and I have completed 6,000 hours of community service. I learned that I could develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice.
I plan to use my education to explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also of the global community. Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. We also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty. I would also want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring.
For example, I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities. To bring inequality concerns to the public's notice, I arrange things like photo exhibits, public discussions, and local meetups. Additionally, I would want to ask residents in my neighborhood to attend and participate in a discussion. My allegiance is to my immediate surroundings. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.
At Recycle Bicycle Harrisburg, I fixed bikes, pumped tubes, registered bikes, cleaned floors, and assembled bikes. We fight poverty using simple and durable measures. With a bike, people have the tools they need to get to the basics, so they can pursue a better future. The mission of Recycle Bicycle is to offer all residents of the greater Harrisburg area, in particular those who have limited means, access to safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable means of transportation through cycling.

In the middle of the city, where the sounds of sirens mixed with the beat of pulsing music, my trip began. It was a story about sticking with things even when they get hard and following your dreams. Growing up in the city, surrounded by tall buildings and busy streets, was a patchwork of opposites that mixed hardship and chance to make my childhood a lively mosaic.
The inner city, which is often a strange place where hopes are born and then shattered at the same time, was the setting for my formative years. There was a symphony of variety in the streets, where different cultures mixed and clashed, creating a scene full of different experiences. With its tall buildings and tight streets, the concrete jungle was more than just a place to visit. It was an environment that shaped who I am.
One of the biggest problems I had to deal with on my trip was that I didn't have enough tools. Long shadows of economic inequality fell over my neighborhood, making the path to success steeper than the towers that were all around us. As a child, the lack of school options seemed like an impossible problem to solve. But in the midst of trouble, I discovered a source of power.
School became my guide, and the library became my safe place. As the streets were crowded with people, I lost myself in books that took me to other places. I found a way to escape the limits of my situation on the pages of books. The problems of living in the city couldn't dim the light of knowledge, and I saw education as a way to change things.
The widespread effect of social standards was another strong enemy. The story that was written about how other people saw me often threatened to hide who I really was. Even though the inner city was full of different stories, they were often boiled down to one big story of trouble and battle. Being strong and having the guts to change the story were needed to get through this maze of stereotypes.
I chose to write my own story instead of letting outside standards hold me back. In the face of hardship, I forged my own path, honoring the wealth of my cultural background while going beyond what others thought was possible. By getting involved in my community and expressing my culture, I broke down assumptions and showed that the inner city wasn't a place of hopelessness but of untapped promise.
But there were also personal struggles along the way. The pull of group pressure and the draw of shortcuts were threatening to throw me off track. The streets were full of opportunities that would make you feel good right away but would have bad effects in the long run. When I had to make a decision, the lessons I had learned in the concrete jungle helped me stay away from the dangerous tracks that some of my friends had taken.
So, resilience became my armor against all the problems that came my way. Each failure wasn't a sign to give up; instead, it was a chance to grow. During hard times, I developed the strength to keep going and the knowledge to know what to do. Problems turned into stepping stones, and each one gave me a chance to shape my character.
It wasn't just one person who went from living in the city to achieving personal success. The help of teachers and important people in the community was very important in getting me through the tough times. Following their advice helped me find my way and gave me the confidence that I could and would achieve success.
Looking back, I can see that growing up in the city wasn't just a bunch of problems; it was an adventure that shaped who I am today. A strong person came from the concrete jungle, armed with the knowledge to deal with the challenges of life, the guts to go against expectations, and the education to change. Stories like mine show that even when things are bad, people can still have strong faith in themselves, and their dreams can come true.

Martin Simutis Memorial Scholarship
"Lithuania, located in the middle of Eastern Europe, has a rich cultural tapestry and beautiful landscapes that have had a significant impact on who I am. As I delve into the story of my Lithuanian ancestry, I realize that I am bound to a legacy that is both poignant and resilient, woven by strands of tradition, resilience, and a deeply entrenched relationship.
My exploration of my Lithuanian heritage starts with stories told to me by my grandparents. It's a story written in the blood of my ancestors and imprinted into the minds of my children. My family's roots are entrenched in the turbulent history of Lithuania's occupiers and fights for independence. My family's history has echoed through the ages, carrying messages of perseverance, solidarity, and steadfast devotion to maintaining the Lithuanian way of life.
Keeping in touch with my Lithuanian heritage is an intentional effort to protect a culture that has survived the ravages of time since I am part of the diaspora in the global environment. The subtleties of the Lithuanian language allow me to channel the voices of the past into the present. Learning Lithuanian is more than simply a linguistic challenge; it's an homage to the people who kept speaking their tongue even when outside forces worked to eradicate it.
To understand Lithuanian culture, one must delve into the traditional customs that pervade every aspect of everyday life. These cultural markers, from lively celebrations of the summer solstice to the lovely melodies of ancient folk songs, are more than relics of a past that refuses to be forgotten. Every step I take to listen to music I've always loved is a tangible reminder that I'm a member of a chain of generations.
The relevance of my Lithuanian ancestry, however, goes well beyond the domain of tradition and into the very essence of who I am and what I hold dear. My upbringing in Lithuanian culture gave me a strong feeling of belonging, taught me to face adversity with humor, and helped me appreciate the beauty in life's simplest pleasures. These principles passed down from people who overcame adversity, have influenced my outlook on life and the decisions I've made in my career.
My Lithuanian background exemplifies the value of variety in a society that often appears to promote uniformity. It's a constant reminder that being yourself is empowering and that my ancestry adds to the vast tapestry of human experiences as a global citizen.
In addition, my roots act as a map that helps me navigate the murky waters of the present world. As the world becomes more interconnected and diverse, maintaining my Lithuanian identity has been a rock-solid anchor that has helped me weather the storms of change without losing sight of who I am and where I came from.
In conclusion, my Lithuanian roots aren't some dusty museum artifact but rather an integral part of who I am today. The ideals I hold are those that have been passed down through the generations in tales, songs, and dances that reverberate in the dark. When I say I'm proud of my Lithuanian heritage, I'm not only referring to the past; I'm also talking about the present and the future. Walking in the footsteps of my ancestors fills me with pride and a deep appreciation for the significance of my ancestry."
Lemon-Aid Scholarship
In the fabric of my life, there is a thread made of the finest spirit of kindness. This thread has made a huge difference in my life. This story is about a person whose kindness and giving have not only touched my heart but also changed the way I see the world in a fundamental way. My grandma is not just a family member; she is a shining example of kindness who has left a lasting mark on my soul, changing who I am and how I think about love and people.
My grandma, who everyone calls "Nana," is the perfect example of kindness. She doesn't say much, but everything she does says a lot about who she is. She has spent her whole life helping people in need, whether they are family, friends, or strangers. This shows how selfless she is. She learned how to give without expecting anything in return from her humble roots.
One of the most important things Nana has done for me is teach me how to be kind. She believes that you should put yourself in someone else's place before you judge them or try to help them. I've seen her calm friends who were having trouble, give them a shoulder to cry on, and feed people who couldn't afford to do so. Nana's actions have taught me that being kind isn't just a good thing to do; it's a way to live.
Nana's constant support has also helped me feel better about myself. She is the only person who has ever believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. Her confidence in me has pushed me forward and made me more determined to pursue my dreams. Knowing that someone as selfless as Nana believes in me has given me the courage to take chances and strive for success in all aspects of my life.
Nana's kindness has also changed how I think about success. She doesn't judge success by how much money or fame someone has, but by how much good they can do for other people. Her view that real wealth comes from touching people's hearts and making a difference in their lives has made me rethink my goals. Instead of pursuing meaningless things, Nana has inspired me to look for a job where I can make a real difference in the lives of other people.
Furthermore, Nana's kindness has taught me that I have a duty to my community and to the world as a whole. Her stories about working for local causes, helping the environment, and assisting people who are less fortunate have made me want to do good things for society. I aspire to pass on her kindness and find my own way to give back to the world.
In conclusion, my beloved grandma Nana's kindness has not only changed my life but has also changed who I am at my core. She has taught me how to be understanding, how important it is to always be there for someone, and what success really means. Her acts of kindness have not only made my life better but have also shown me how much one person can change the world. I've learned from her that being kind is not just a good thing to do; it's also a force that can change people's lives and inspire others to do the same. Nana's legacy of love and kindness continues to shape how I think, how I act, and how I strive to make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.
Debra Victoria Scholarship
My childhood was a special fabric that was made in the love of a home with only one parent. My mother's steadfast care for the fine threads of my childhood has had a big impact on my work goals, giving me the strength and drive to make my own way to success. As I start college and think about the future, the lessons I learned growing up in a single-parent home continue to guide me toward a future where I not only want to be successful but also leave a lasting mark.
Growing up with a single mom wasn't easy, but it was through these difficulties that I got the most motivation. Seeing how hard my mother worked to take care of our family by herself taught me the value of hard work and determination. She worked hard to make ends meet, and she often gave up her own dreams to make sure I was okay. Her sacrifices did not go to waste. They gave me a strong desire to find a job path that would not only make me happy but also respect what she did.
In a home with only one parent, being independent becomes second nature. It has taught me to think for myself and figure out how to solve problems. These traits will help me get where I want to go in my career. My goal is to become a social worker and help people in poor areas who are facing problems like the ones I saw when I was growing up. The things I've been through have taught me how important kindness and understanding are in this field. Through my work, I want to help and inspire people who are going through hard times, just like my mother did for me.
College is my first step toward this goal. After college, I want to work for a government agency or a non-profit group that helps people. By doing this, I hope to fix the structural problems that keep people in poverty and help people and families who, like mine, have been through hard times. I hope to work closely with clients, push for policy changes, and become a star in the field of social work in the future.
Also, growing up with only one parent has given me a strong sense of duty. I am motivated to help my neighborhood and make the world a better place for everyone. In order to do this, I want to set up a grant fund to help kids from single-parent families go to college. I want to give other people hope, just like my mother did for me.
In the end, living in a single-parent home has been one of the most important parts of my life. It has made me strong, independent, and compassionate, which are all important traits for a good job in social work. In college, I work on improving my skills and knowledge, and when I'm working, I try to make a real difference in the lives of people who are going through hard times. I'm not just looking for a job; I'm on a mission to pay forward the love and support I got from my mother and be a source of hope for other people who, like me, have had to fight against the odds. My upbringing as a single parent has shaped my work goals, and I am dedicated to achieving those goals with steadfast purpose and drive.
GUTS- Olivia Rodrigo Fan Scholarship
The teenage years are full of ups and downs that come with self-discovery, love, heartbreak, and the constant search for identity. "I've got a lot of growing up to do" is a line from Olivia Rodrigo's song "Guts" that really speaks to me about my own teenage years. This line captures what it's like to be a teenager, when you want to grow up, figure out what's going on in the world, and find your place in it. It can be hard to do all of these things.
During adolescence, people have a strong desire to be on their own and to leave behind the safety of childhood. As Rodrigo's song says, this is a time when people are very aware of their need to grow. Teenagers are put under a lot of pressure to become more independent, make important life choices, and figure out what they value and believe. This process can be both exciting and scary because you don't know what will happen next.
Rodrigo's song "Guts" is about how childhood is marked by strong, uncontrolled feelings that can be hard to handle. The song's lyrics talk about how vulnerable people feel at this stage of life when they have to face their fears, doubts, and unknowns. It fits with the idea that we often stumble and make mistakes as we try to deal with the problems of growing up, no matter how hard we try. The teenage years are when we realize what we can't do and that we're still a work in progress.
Also, the lyrics show how hard it is to meet the demands of society and your peers. Teenagers often feel like they have to live up to standards of success and beauty, even if it means losing touch with who they really are. The line "I've got a lot of growing up to do" shows how these standards can make you feel like you're not good enough. It means that becoming an adult is a process of learning about and accepting ourselves, where we learn to be happy in our own skin.
The problems that come with being a teenager also show up in relationships. Rodrigo's music is often about love, friendship, and sadness, which are all important parts of being a teenager. The lyrics to "Guts" suggest that part of growing up is figuring out how to deal with complicated love situations. Teenagers often struggle with how strong their feelings are and how up-and-down love can be. The saying "I've got a lot of growing up to do" captures the idea that love can be both beautiful and painful and that it teaches us important lessons about being strong and vulnerable.
In conclusion, Olivia Rodrigo's line "I've got a lot of growing up to do" captures the spirit of being a teenager and the problems that come with it beautifully. It shows how people want to improve themselves, how young people are vulnerable, how hard it is to fit in, and how complicated love is. As we move toward adulthood, adolescence is a time of change during which we learn to face our fears and accept our flaws. Rodrigo's music tells us that, despite the problems, this is a time of growth, self-discovery, and, in the end, a step towards becoming our true selves.

My name is Nabeel Hakeem-Olowu. I am an ambitious, goal-focused, and self-disciplined individual driven by a strong desire to achieve meaningful and important goals. Now, before I dive in, a little bit of back story. Life's adversities often serve as catalytic catalysts, driving people and families to new levels of self-awareness and progress. My family and I met a significant challenge that would forever change our lives as we began the laborious road of relocating to the United States. The insurmountable language barrier was the biggest obstacle we encountered upon arriving, but we overcame it and emerged stronger people for it.
My family and I were met with a formidable barrier the moment we set foot in the United States: the English language. Our lack of English skills severely hampered our opportunities for employment, further education, and social integration in the United States. Simple things like going to the store or using public transit turned into Herculean efforts. We experienced frequent miscommunication and severe loneliness as a result of our new location. Frustration was stoked by our failure to articulate our thoughts clearly, and we missed chances because of it. This test made us aware of our frailties and inspired us to overcome the language barrier through dogged persistence and hard work.
My first language is Yoruba. The process our family went through to break through the language barrier required flexibility and persistence. My parents worked minimum-wage jobs to support our family, but they took advantage of evening programs and total immersion to acquire English. Seeing their dedication firsthand motivated me to pursue the same goal. We ate up literature, laboriously worked on our pronunciation, and constantly interacted with native English speakers. In our household, blunders were seen as learning opportunities and were actively encouraged. We became stronger as a result of our ups and downs, coming to see adversity as an opportunity rather than a threat. In addition to improving our language skills, this challenging experience taught us the importance of a lifetime commitment to education through hard work and determination.
Learning a new language and culture gave us more respect for individuality and the openness to consider other points of view. When my family immigrated to the United States, the language barrier was the most difficult obstacle to overcome.

My name is Nabeel Hakeem-Olowu. I am an ambitious, goal-focused, and self-disciplined individual driven by a strong desire to achieve meaningful and important goals. Now, before I dive in, a little bit of back story. Life's adversities often serve as catalytic catalysts, driving people and families to new levels of self-awareness and progress. My family and I met a significant challenge that would forever change our lives as we began the laborious road of relocating to the United States. The insurmountable language barrier was the biggest obstacle we encountered upon arriving, but we overcame it and emerged stronger people for it.
My family and I were met with a formidable barrier the moment we set foot in the United States: the English language. Our lack of English skills severely hampered our opportunities for employment, further education, and social integration in the United States. Simple things like going to the store or using public transit turned into Herculean efforts. We experienced frequent miscommunication and severe loneliness as a result of our new location. Frustration was stoked by our failure to articulate our thoughts clearly, and we missed chances because of it. This test made us aware of our frailties and inspired us to overcome the language barrier through dogged persistence and hard work.
The process our family went through to break through the language barrier required flexibility and persistence. My parents worked minimum-wage jobs to support our family, but they took advantage of evening programs and total immersion to acquire English. Seeing their dedication firsthand motivated me to pursue the same goal. We ate up literature, laboriously worked on our pronunciation, and constantly interacted with native English speakers. In our household, blunders were seen as learning opportunities and were actively encouraged. We became stronger as a result of our ups and downs, coming to see adversity as an opportunity rather than a threat. In addition to improving our language skills, this challenging experience taught us the importance of a lifetime commitment to education through hard work and determination.

Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact Scholarship
In the world of science, which is always changing, the role of chemical engineering stands out as a source of hope and new ideas. It has the power to make once-fantastic ideas from science fiction become real. As I learn more about chemical engineering, I am sure that it will help turn ideas into reality. Imagine a world where pollution and carbon releases no longer hurt the environment, where the air is clean and the seas are crystal clear. Science fiction often shows dark worlds that are full of problems with the earth. But chemical engineering gives us a small spark of hope with tools like carbon collection and use. We can turn the tide against climate change by using the power of chemical processes and materials engineering to catch dangerous greenhouse gases and turn them into useful goods.
With the help of chemistry and engineering, the science fiction fear of a dirty world could become the science fact of a better, more stable world. Another interesting idea from science fiction is personalized medicine, in which medicines are made to fit each person's unique genes. Chemical engineering is one of the most important parts of this change. Chemical engineers are at the heart of making personalized medicine a reality by creating cutting-edge medicines and ways to change genes. We can treat diseases at their roots by developing drug delivery methods that target specific genes or cells. This makes sure that patients get the exact care they need. This healthcare change is likely to make people live longer and improve the quality of life for millions of people, making the impossible possible.
A common theme in science fiction is the idea of artificial intelligence and smart robots. With its knowledge of materials science and nanotechnology, chemical engineering is a key part of making the building blocks for these future structures. Nanomaterials that are made at the molecular level can change the way electrical devices work, making them faster, able to store more data, and use energy more efficiently than we can imagine. These improvements lay the groundwork for AI systems that can think and make decisions like humans, bringing the idea of autonomous machines from science fiction closer to reality. Transportation has been a big part of science fiction for a long time, with people dreaming of super-fast trains, flying cars, and gadgets that can send people somewhere else.
Chemical engineering is a big part of making new fuels and power systems that can turn these ideas into reality. Chemical engineers are making transportation better by making cleaner and more efficient energy sources. This includes electric and hydrogen-powered cars, high-speed trains, and maybe even spaceships that can move at speeds close to the speed of light one day. In the area of space travel, chemical engineering can also bridge the gap between science fiction and real life. In science fiction, people who live on faraway worlds, on moon bases, and in space colonies are common. Chemical engineering's role in making sustainable life support systems, improved materials for space homes, and efficient rocket technologies can help people move beyond Earth.
With chemistry engineers in charge, the seemingly impossible dream of colonizing other planets and stars moves closer to becoming a scientific reality. In conclusion, chemical engineering is a powerful tool for turning science fiction into real science. It has the ability to fix environmental disasters, change the way we take care of ourselves, improve artificial intelligence, change the way we get around, and even send us into space.

Let's look at a line from Plato's "The Republic," one of the most important books in Western philosophy. In Book VII of "The Republic," Plato tells the story of the cave, which is a strong metaphor that shows how deeply he understood truth, knowledge, and how people see things. Here's the paragraph:
"And if, I said, the soul is immortal, and by nature, and the things which are ever the same and in like manner, will be invisible, and the soul alone will see true realities, and the things which are always the same will be the subject of knowledge to her. Hence, we shall be right in saying that our aim, as philosophers, is to attain to the knowledge of the real and true existence of things, and that when we have attained to this knowledge, we shall be gifted with a vision of the things which are, as they truly are."
Plato explains the main ideas of his philosophy in this line. He stresses the immortality of the soul, the presence of unchangeable truths, and the search for knowledge as the way to real life. To really get Plato's point, we need to break down the passage and figure out what it means.
Central thesis: In this line, Plato's main point is the deep idea that the soul is everlasting and that its true purpose is to learn about things that will never change. With this information, the soul can leave the world of images, which is just an illusion, and understand what life is really like.
Plato says that the soul is immortal and that it will last forever. This idea goes against what most people thought at the time, which was that the soul was mortal and could die. Plato's idea that the soul lives forever has a lot of effects. It means that the soul was there before we were born and will be there after we die. This idea goes against what we usually think about life and death. It suggests that life is a journey of the soul, not just a bodily thing.
The Realm of True Realities: Plato presents the idea that there is a world separate from the world of looks that is made up of real things. This realm, which is often called the "world of forms" or "eternal truths," is made up of perfect, unchangeable models of everything in the physical world. Plato thought that the world we can see is just a copy or image of these perfect shapes. The eyes can't see these true truths, so the only way to understand them is through the mind and mental study.
The Goal of Philosophy: According to Plato, the main goal of philosophy is to learn about these real things. Plato said that philosophers are people who want to go beyond the world of looks and reach the world of forms. Through careful intellectual research and thought, they try to understand the unchanging and timeless truths that lie beneath the changing and fleeting physical world.
The Vision of Things as They Really Are: In the end, Plato says that when thinkers know the real and true reality of things, they see these timeless truths "as they really are. This view is the highest point of intellectual clarity, where the philosopher sees the unchanged forms behind the changing shapes of the material world. It shows a big change from not knowing to knowing, from fantasy to truth.
Understanding the Deeper Meaning: This paragraph's deeper meaning can be found in Plato's deep philosophical and scientific ideas. Plato wants a big change in how we think about reality and understanding. He pushes us to realize that our senses can only tell us so much and that there are greater, more spiritual facts that we can only understand through thinking.
Plato's philosophy urges us to question the shallow and temporary parts of our lives and to look for a greater understanding of the lasting and universal principles that make up reality. It focuses on the transforming power of philosophy and suggests that by seeking knowledge and wisdom, we can free ourselves from misunderstanding and misconception and get a clear picture of reality.
In essence, Plato's passage from "The Republic" is a call to go beyond the limits of the physical world and pursue eternal truths. It asks us to go on an intellectual trip that will lead to the enlightenment of the soul and the realization that knowledge and existence will always be there. Plato's metaphor of the cave, which comes after this passage, goes into more detail about these ideas. It shows how people can escape the darkness of ignorance and reach the world of true knowledge.

STEM & Medicine Passion Essay
My interest in science, technology, engineering, and medicine has motivated me to give back to my community via service learning. My interest in these areas has morphed into a vehicle for sharing information, encouraging education, and meeting community needs, much like energy may take many different forms. This essay will discuss the ways in which I have used my interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to serve my community and make a positive difference there.
Inspiring Wonderment:
The combination of inquiry and discovery in STEM fields has always piqued my interest. The more you learn, the more questions you have, and so on; it's a never-ending cycle of discovery. I have committed my time and energy to sparking this kind of interest in my neighborhood by leading STEM workshops for local schools. I have led hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math seminars at area schools. These discussions not only help young people understand difficult ideas, but they also encourage them to choose careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It's a method to keep the flame of inquiry burning. Mentoring at a Science fair: Helping children prepare for science fairs has been really satisfying work. Seeing their excitement as they discuss their hypotheses and plan their studies is proof of the value of information sharing. My neighborhood has become more open to scientific research as a result of this.
Insight Development:
Awareness is of the utmost importance in the field of medicine. From understanding health inequalities to taking preventative actions, education may save lives. My enthusiasm for this area of study has led me to conduct workshops on subjects including healthy living and illness prevention in conjunction with local medical practitioners. The information shared at these events is crucial to empowering community members to make smart decisions about their health. Healthcare information may be difficult to come by in underdeveloped communities.
As a volunteer, I have helped spread information about basic health care, with an emphasis on early identification and prevention, via medical outreach initiatives. It's a real-world application of research that might save lives. Mental health advocacy is the third area. Education on mental health is crucial to the success of every society. Since I'm interested in a healthcare profession, I have been involved in efforts to reduce the stigma around mental health disorders and increase access to treatment and support services for individuals who suffer from them.
Facilitating Cooperation:
Giving people the resources they need to overcome obstacles and grasp opportunities is the key to true empowerment. Knowledge in the STEM fields and medicine may be powerful agents of change. I put my enthusiasm toward professional counseling and research projects. Aspiring youth aren't always exposed to a wide range of job options. To help bridge the gap between interest and work, I have created career advising meetings at which experts in STEM and medical areas talk about their experiences. Getting a good education may help you do that. As a way to give back to the local community, I have searched for and helped kids apply for STEM and medical-related scholarships.
The process of teaching others about STEM and health-related topics has been very rewarding for me. My enthusiasm is now a driving force for growth, self-improvement, and knowledge, much like the transfer of energy from one system to another. I have worked tirelessly to spread knowledge throughout my community by organizing STEM workshops, science fair mentoring, healthcare seminars, medical outreach, mental health advocacy, career guidance, and scholarship initiatives, among other things.
Financial Literacy Scholarship Award
Each step along the path to financial literacy is a learning experience that adds to the rich tapestry of knowledge about money. One of these insights stands out as particularly significant and formative; it's a pearl of financial knowledge that's helped me make sense of the world of personal finance. In this article, I discuss how this life-changing experience affected my future financial decisions.
The Benefits of Putting Off Instant Satisfaction:
The principle of delayed gratification has taught me the most about personal finance. This age-old tenet reminds us to put off gratification in the short term so that we may better provide for ourselves in the future. This knowledge has served as the foundation for my progress toward being financially literate.
The Science of Frugality. The ability to delay pleasure is what taught me to be frugal. I've learned to stop wasting money on transient wants and start saving for the future. This habit has allowed me to save money for rainy days, put money away for chances, and plan ahead for unexpected costs, all of which have contributed to my current state of financial security.
Knowledge investment. Thanks to practicing delayed gratification, I've been able to put my money into furthering my studies. Instead of frivolous spending, I've invested in long-term growth by attending college and increasing my understanding of personal finance. This expenditure on education has resulted in improved employment prospects and higher earnings.
Exponential Growth Rate. The parallel between delayed pleasure and the idea of compound development is one of its most alluring features. I have seen my money rise dramatically over time as a result of regular saving and investment. The value of patience in building money and achieving financial independence has been emphasized.
Putting off hasty buys. In today's consumer-driven society, giving in to impulsive buys may quickly deplete savings. The experience of delaying gratification has taught me to avoid making hasty purchases and instead to carefully evaluate whether or not an item would help me achieve my long-term objectives. This method has helped people spend with more mindfulness and experience less financial strain.
Financial Plans for the Future. The ability to put off immediate satisfaction in favor of greater rewards has far-reaching effects. I have established a solid plan for my future financial well-being by constantly putting these objectives ahead of more urgent wants. This lesson has given me the self-control I need to realize my goals, whether they are buying a house, retiring comfortably, or establishing a company.
The importance of learning to wait for gratification is the most valuable lesson I've learned about personal finance. Not only has this idea altered the way I spend money, but it has also given me a far greater appreciation for fiscal prudence and forethought. It has helped me save, invest in education, take advantage of compound interest, avoid making rash purchases, and aim high in terms of my long-term financial success.
The lesson of delayed pleasure has been a constant companion as I've learned the ropes of fiscal responsibility. It served as a good reminder that long-term planning is more important than short-term gratification when it comes to determining the value of a dollar. With the knowledge I've gained from this lesson, I can confidently make future budgetary decisions that will bring me closer to my ultimate objective of financial well-being and security.

We became stronger as a result of our ups and downs, coming to see adversity as an opportunity rather than a threat. In addition to improving our language skills, this challenging experience taught us the importance of a lifetime commitment to education and instilled in us the conviction that any challenge can be conquered through hard work and determination.
Learning a new language and culture gave us more respect for individuality and the openness to consider other points of view. When my family immigrated to the United States, the language barrier was the most difficult obstacle to overcome. We overcame this challenge thanks to our unflagging commitment, flexibility, and determination. The hardships I overcame and the cultures I blended with and empathized with helped form the person I am today. Now that I know no problem is insurmountable, I eagerly seek out obstacles as chances to learn and develop.
This scholarship would help ease my financial burden, as my mom is a single parent, and she is currently battling cancer. This has really taken a toll on me. My brother and I have also been working three jobs each so that we can pay for our mother’s medical bills.
I intend to study chemical engineering. I need to go to college because I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
"The Summer I Turned Pretty" Fan Scholarship
Jenny Han's "The Summer I Turned Pretty" trilogy weaves a complex web of feelings and connections between characters. The age-old debate between "Team Conrad" and "Team Jeremiah" drives the events of this story. In this article, I'll be delving into the fascinating worlds of each of these characters and arguing for my preferred one using powerful scenes from the show as evidence.
The View from Team Conrad:
One, There Was a Kiss:
Conrad's appeal is immediately apparent. The first kiss between them was a secret, snatched moment on the porch during that memorable summer. This scene comes to symbolize an unconventional love that captivates readers with its raw emotion.
The Silent Connection 2:
Conrad's closeness to Belly, the series' protagonist, is obvious throughout. Their common history of happiness and sadness provides a solid foundation that will last forever. They have a closeness that goes beyond words, as seen by moments like their private conversations under the stars and Conrad's unwavering support amid Belly's tribulations.
The Power of Magnetism:
Conrad's mysterious allure and dark good looks make him impossible to ignore. When he lets his guard down and talks about his hopes, worries, and anxieties, he reveals facets of his personality that give him depth. As he goes through a process of self-discovery, readers are intrigued by his complexity.
The View from Team Jeremiah:
1. The Stable Companionship:
Jeremiah's charisma comes from his openness, humor, and kindness. The cornerstone of his friendship with Belly is built on a foundation of laughter and relaxation. Jeremiah's capacity to make any occasion remarkable is shown by the game of beach soccer that serves as the story's climax.
2. The Tease of Play:
Jeremiah's witty repartee injects a spirit of humor into the story. The naturalness of their relationships is reflected in the many moments of playful banter between them. His sunny disposition serves as an oasis of happiness for those around him.
What lies below:
Jeremiah seems cheerful on the surface, yet his inner complexity is a pleasant surprise. The underlying river of his feelings is touched by his statement about the times he craved Belly, times he kept secret from her. This openness reveals a depth of character in Jeremiah that will strike a chord with readers.
Conrad and Jeremiah both spin complex webs of feeling, relationship, and development as "The Summer I Turned Pretty" unfolds. Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? It's not just a matter of personal taste; it reveals how your heart responds to various parts of love and relationships.
The trip through the series demonstrates that the contrast between these two characters reflects the intricacies of real-life decisions in issues of the heart, whether one sides with Conrad's passionate attraction or Jeremiah's effervescent camaraderie. Conrad and Jeremiah's clandestine kisses, wordless ties, and playful taunting leave an unforgettable impact on the reader's emotions and extend beyond the pages of the novel.
Ultimately, the decision between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah is a reflection of the wide range of human experiences that love may inspire. As readers get enmeshed in the story's tapestry, they are reminded that love is like a multifaceted gem: it catches the light in many ways, enchants the heart, and stirs the spirit.

Maida Brkanovic Memorial Scholarship
The threads of migration, each weaved with a different set of experiences, difficulties, and hopes, enhance the fabric of human existence. My experience as a recent immigrant from Nigeria, West Africa, has given me fresh perspectives that have profoundly altered my outlook on life. In this article, I will detail how my immigration experience changed who I am and how I see the world. It was both exciting and terrifying to leave Nigeria and its familiar surroundings behind. A better life and more possibilities were driving factors in the decision to immigrate. I set out on this journey armed with the principles and knowledge that my childhood in Nigeria had ingrained in me.
One is immediately immersed in a world of contrasting cultures upon immigrating. My experiences with individuals from all walks of life have shown me that humanity creates a rich tapestry of culture, history, and thought. The value of accepting variety as a source of strength and richness has been more widely recognized as this knowledge has sparked an appreciation for the mosaic of cultures that enriches our global community. Resilience is tested on the road to adaptation. As an immigrant, I've gained a greater appreciation for the potential of the human mind. The ability to persevere in the face of adversity is put to the test at every turn while venturing into unexplored territory.
Nigerian culture places a premium on communal living. The experience of immigration has taught me the value of taking the time to establish and cultivate friendships in a new neighborhood. The experiences of immigrants in forming bonds, reaching out for aid, and lending a hand to one another have shown the value of expanding one's social network across national boundaries. A person's sense of self is challenged by immigration. My Nigerian roots will always be a big part of who I am, but assimilating into a new culture has allowed me to develop a more nuanced sense of self that draws from and contributes to my experiences in both the past and the present. This transformation has strengthened my conviction that identity is malleable and that it is molded not only by our beginnings but also by our experiences.
The importance of this is magnified when one is far from home. Nigerian food, music, and culture have given me a deep appreciation for and understanding of my heritage. This fresh perspective on my native place has shown me that home is more than a physical location; it is a complex web of experiences, ideals, and relationships. My move from Nigeria to a new country has significantly altered my outlook on life. This relocation has bestowed upon me an enhanced sense of home and a deeper understanding of the value of variety, perseverance, community, identity development, and bonding.
My immigration experiences and my Nigerian roots are now intertwined in a beautiful tapestry of personal development and progress, thanks to the lessons I've learned. The memories of my life in Nigeria and the hopes for my future are with me while I negotiate the challenges of a new country. While geographical boundaries divide us, I now believe that we are all connected by the same experiences we share as human beings on a path of discovery, enlightenment, and expansion.
Minecraft Forever Fan Scholarship
Minecraft invites users to explore, develop, and go on countless adventures in its infinite virtual world. Despite all the possibilities, I have a special place in my heart for one particular aspect of the game. In this article, I'll discuss my favorite part of Minecraft and the deep reasons why the game has stuck with me for so long.
Introducing my top pick:
Minecraft's charms stem from its open world, which invites exploration, building, and exploration of the mind. Collaborative construction, or making something together with friends or other enthusiasts, is one of my most cherished pastimes.
The Collaboration Canvas:
Minecraft's domain of collaborative creation is a vibrant canvas where aspirations take shape via group efforts, providing a welcome counterpoint to the frequently isolated nature of the real world. As players work together to design and construct elaborate towns, beautiful castles, or magical landscapes, the game evolves into a platform for community building and bonding.
It serves as a means of fostering cooperation:
The process of constructing with other players encourages cooperation, conversation, and collaboration. The combined efforts of many people, each with their own set of expertise (whether it is architectural mastery or creative design), result in a virtual symphony of beauty. This willingness to work together has implications beyond the confines of the game.
The Pride of Individual Success
When a massive building or a whole city is finished, it's more than simply a victory of the eye; it's a triumph of the human spirit. Each building stands as a tribute to the team's ingenuity and cohesiveness, fueled by the pride and friendship developed throughout the creative process.
The Reverberation of Real-World Experiences
The importance of teamwork, compromise, and negotiation is reflected in Minecraft's collaborative construction experience. Learning to work together despite having different goals and perspectives is a skill that has applications outside of gaming.
In a world full of wonder, my favorite part of Minecraft is the teamwork involved in construction. It's a place where ideas collide, relationships develop, and the pleasure of teamwork is felt by everyone. This component strikes a chord with me since it is not only entertaining but also a meaningful representation of the strength of teamwork, creativity, and solidarity.
When players work together, Minecraft is no longer simply a game; it's a platform for building their ambitions. Proof positive that a rich tapestry may be created when people work together toward a similar goal is found in the field of collaborative construction. These ongoing collaborative efforts in Minecraft serve as a reminder of the real-world value of teamwork and the aesthetic appeal of virtual creation.
Spider-Man Showdown Scholarship
In the many film adaptations of the Spider-Man comics and movies, each actor has brought his or her own style to the role. In spite of all the many ways Spider-Man has been portrayed, there's one that sticks out as my favorite. This article explores why I settled on this actor and why his depiction strikes a chord with me.
A Free-Spirited Option:
I have a soft spot in my heart for Tobey Maguire's portrayal of Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's trilogy. In portraying Peter Parker, he found a nice middle ground between the everyday hardships of a kid and the superhuman duties of a hero in a mask.
1. Veracity and trustworthiness:
Maguire's performance was so sincere and real that I could empathize with Peter Parker's struggles. He did it with a delightful honesty that made fans feel right at home with the character's adolescent clumsiness. His skill in portraying Peter's inner turmoil and external pressures helped to create an emotional investment in the character that went beyond the screen.
2. Intensity of Feeling:
Peter Parker's emotional odyssey was explored in the Raimi trilogy, which highlighted his personal losses and sacrifices. Maguire expertly depicted the depth of these feelings, from grief over Uncle Ben's death to anguish at the challenges of continuing to be friends with Mary Jane and Harry Osborn. Through his acting, we felt Peter's joys and sorrows, making for an affecting and memorable experience.
Charming Modesty:
Spider-Man's sense of duty and modesty have made him a fan favorite. Maguire's portrayal of Peter Parker was perfect in capturing this modesty, showing him as a hero motivated not by fame or glory but by a sincere need to defend his city and loved ones. This interpretation was true to the character and his ideals, creating an accurate portrait of the beloved neighborhood Spider-Man.
4. Seminal Occasions:
Maguire's performance brought Spider-Man's most memorable scenes to life. His portrayal of Peter Parker inspired iconic moments from "Spider-Man 2," such as the iconic upside-down kiss and the heartbreaking final struggle with Doc Ock.
Tobey Maguire's portrayal of Spider-Man perfectly captures what makes the character so popular. His enduring influence on Spider-Man history is cemented by his ability to embody Peter Parker's likeability, emotional depth, humility, and memorable moments. Spider-Man's theme of responsibility, sacrifice, and heroism resounds with viewers of all ages because of Maguire's depiction.
Tobey Maguire's depiction of Spider-Man captures the essence of the character and continues to inspire new generations of fans, even when other actors wear the iconic red and blue outfit. Maguire's portrayal of the hero will always be remembered as a classic because it so perfectly captures the spirit of the web-slinger we've grown to love, even as Spider-Man changes to meet new challenges.
Anime Enthusiast Scholarship
Anime is home to an incredible variety of storylines and characters, many of which have a special place in the hearts of its devoted viewers. Among these stories, "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" is the one that has really caught my attention and affection. In this article, I discuss why I have such a deep and abiding appreciation for this series, as well as how the complex narrative and profound themes have continued to captivate me.
Consistent Popularity:
When it comes to shounen anime, "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" is in a league of its own. Edward and Alphonse Elric, two brothers, embark on a quest to repair their bodies after a botched alchemical experiment. Its ongoing popularity may be attributed to the story's richness, the complexity of its characters, and the skillful way in which action, adventure, philosophy, and emotion are all interwoven throughout.
First, the world-building is intricate.
Viewers are whisked away to a fantastical world where alchemy is dominant thanks to the show's meticulous world-building. A discussion of equilibrium, sacrifice, and repercussions may be grounded in the notion of comparable exchange and the principles controlling alchemical transmutations. The carefully thought-out design of the setting, which makes it appear both fantastical and rational, elevates the plot.
Second, characters with multiple dimensions:
Characters in "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" aren't flat caricatures; they have unique goals, anxieties, and development arcs. Characters like Edward's tenacity and Alphonse's persistence, as well as Roy Mustang and Scar's depth, are endearing and easy to sympathize with. Their travels hit home because their challenges are relatable to everyone who has ever lived.
Third, ethical and humanistic undercurrents:
The intriguing moral questions it presents are one of the show's best qualities. The pursuit of the Philosopher's Stone and the consequences of having total control over the world are metaphors for human ambition and greed. The anime goes above and beyond the realm of entertainment thanks to its introspective investigation of morality and the human condition, which makes us think deeply about our own values and principles.
Fourth, a musical expression of feelings
Emotional symphony: "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" seamlessly moves from touching moments of friendship to painful moments of sorrow. The show embraces and expertly manipulates the whole range of human emotion to draw the audience into the characters' world. The series' ability to stir up strong sensations in me is one of the reasons I keep coming back to watch more episodes.
Fifth, a personal exploration:
The Elric brothers' adventure is much more than simply finding the Philosopher's Stone; it's also a search for identity. Their development from childlike wonder to mature understanding and from hopelessness to optimism reflects the arc of life itself. Seeing them grow inspires me to think about how far I've come, what obstacles I've overcome, and what decisions I've made to get where I am now.
The brightness of "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" is like a tapestry; I can watch it again and again without losing any of its power. Its complexity as a story, its rich cast of people, its themes, its emotional relevance, and its examination of morality make it more than just a movie. The series' enduring popularity is due in no small part to the strong emotional bonds it develops with its viewers. It serves as a timely reminder that engaging works of fiction have the potential to improve the way we think, feel, and see the world. For as long as there is a screen upon which to see it, "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" will continue to captivate viewers and serve as a constant catalyst for thought.

Windward Spirit Scholarship
Time moves in a circle, and each new generation is like a new chapter in a book, with its own set of problems and hopes. The "Ode to Millennials-Gen Z" prompts us to consider this unfolding narrative by making comparisons between the current generation and the legendary "Greatest Generation." Despite inheriting a difficult world, Millennials and Gen Z show remarkable fortitude and promise in this reflection.
Millennials and Gen Z are growing up in a society that is struggling with economic uncertainty, school debt, environmental disasters, and structural injustices, much like the Greatest Generation did during the Great Depression and World War II. In this age of fast change and global interconnection, the weight of the torch of duty passed from one generation to the next might seem heavier than ever.
The poem deftly skirts the gap between generations by addressing the nostalgia that affects the perspective of the old on the young. Older people, who long for the clarity of simpler times, sometimes have difficulty understanding the virtual spaces and digital conversations that characterize modern connections. What seems novel and mysterious at the moment will seem quaint and familiar after a day or two.
The ode provides a context for the contrast between traditional values and modern norms, drawing attention to the ebb and flow of creativity over the ages. It's a sign of how far humanity has progressed that things that were once foreign are now taken for granted.
The ode's driving force comes from the qualities possessed by all ages, including perseverance, flexibility, and a strong sense of obligation. The Millennial and Gen Z generations are driven by a strong desire to make a positive impact on the world. From the impending economic uncertainty to the urgency of climate change, they embrace problems that others would reject.
In this ode, an important parallel is drawn between the WWII service ethic of the Greatest Generation and that of today's Millennials and Generation Z in the face of new and different threats. This comparison resounds with optimism because it implies that just as the heroes of the past overcame obstacles, so too will the heroes of the present and future.
The ode's author recognizes, with grace, the doubts that his age must face. As a link between periods, he wonders how those who "created this mess" can provide advice on fixing it. It's a phrase that encapsulates the friction between generations that arises from people's unique life experiences. The author's introspection highlights a timeless realization: the need for cooperation among people of different generations in order to make progress.
The poem concludes by painting a picture of a generation characterized by civility and generosity, qualities that may be the key to resolving generational tensions. Such decorum under pressure is a testament to the resilience and fortitude of the young. That they will fulfill their destiny and answer their call rings true, and the author is certain that they will become "The Greatest Generation 2.0."
Finally, "Ode to Millennials-Gen Z" captures the spirit of generational progression and so succeeds as an homage to human continuation. It encourages us to drop our biases and see each generation for what it is: a product and an agent of change in its own period. Ode finally asks us to have trust in the relentless spirit of youth, the energy that will continue to create, reinvent, and enhance our world via its examination of similarities and differences, problems, and ambitions.

A Lamp in the Dark: Exposing My Grandfather's Incalculable Impact On My LifeOne shining figure stands out in my life as the one who has had the most profound impact on my beliefs, goals, and personality. My grandpa, a man of steadfast generosity and great insight, has been a guiding light on my road of self-discovery and development. My grandfather's captivating tales, which he weaved together with lessons in life and our family's history, enthralled me from a young age. He taught me the value of perseverance and the charm of welcoming new viewpoints, since he was an immigrant who had been through difficult times. To understand and value the complex stories that make up the human experience, I turned to his tales.
His impact, though, went well beyond the power of his compelling stories. As a kid, I used to hang out with him for hours at a time while he carefully managed his garden. This ordinary task required a great deal of care, persistence, and tolerance. He taught his students the value of hard work and patience by showing them how to bring delicate flowers from seed to full bloom. These times of reflection helped me realize the need for patience and perseverance in the pursuit of development.
The years of uncertainty and self-discovery that I experienced as a teenager were when my grandfather's influence was strongest. Amid the din of social norms, his words stood out as genuine. His unfailing encouragement encouraged me to follow my artistic dreams despite the widespread belief that doing so was a waste of time.
His confidence in me served as a lens through which I could examine my own potential. His personal skills in resilience were put to the test when he had a health crisis. Helping him taught me about compassion's dynamics, life's precariousness, and the complexity of caregiving's mosaic. Despite its difficulty, this encounter strengthened my capacity for empathy and inspired me to make a positive difference in the healthcare system, driving me toward a career in medicine. His death was a somber reminder that even though his physical presence was no longer with me, his legacy will forever be a part of who I am. His advice guided me as I entered the field of medicine. He had lived and shared the values of attentive listening, compassion, and the importance of interpersonal connections with patients.
To sum up, my grandfather's impact on me has been immeasurable. Stories, gardening, unflinching support, and even hardships all served as beacons along the route of genuineness, compassion, and fortitude that he blazed. My goals, my ethics, and my outlook on life are all influenced by his legacy. As I go out on a mission of healing, his words remind me that it is the little, thoughtful ways in which my experiences will touch the lives of others that will have the most influence. My grandfather's love and guidance continue to shine brightly throughout my life.

Strong leadership and communication skills, resilience, selflessness, focus, and a strong work ethic are the five defining characteristics of my character, and I work hard every day to demonstrate these qualities. First, my participation in team projects and group activities has allowed me to hone my excellent leadership and communication abilities. I am a team player who takes the lead, pays close attention, and makes sure everyone's ideas are heard. I set a good example by being helpful whenever asked and providing directions when asked for it.
One of my defining traits is resilience. I take an optimistic stance toward difficulties. Disappointments don't deter me; rather, I use them to propel me ahead and become a stronger person. This toughness inspires me to keep moving forward and maintaining my perspective. My selflessness compels me to put the wants and needs of others ahead of my own. My goal is to create a positive impact on the world around me through the work I do, whether it's helping a fellow student grasp a challenging idea in class or participating in a community service project. My dedication to my education and pursuit of personal objectives exemplifies my attention and tenacity. Effective time management on my part includes defining and then actively pursuing certain goals. Because of this resolve, I can push through difficulties and accomplish great things.
All of these qualities are built on a foundation of hard work. No matter how big or complicated the job is, I always give it my all and strive for success. This diligence is not only shown in the classroom but also in extracurricular activities and independent endeavors. I aspire to become a chemical engineer. Chemical engineering combines my interests in science, technology, and solving problems to produce real-world applications that improve people's lives and the planet. With a degree in chemical engineering, I can combine my interest in science with my desire to make a difference in the world by applying theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. The fields of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics are all essential to the practice of chemical engineering.
I excel at finding the best answers and coming up with original strategies to improve workflow, save expenses, and make more informed decisions. The field of chemical engineering is fascinating because it combines imagination and science to make new things possible. Reading widely and appreciating the arts with great passion have given me the capacity to think creatively and independently. Thanks to my extensive knowledge base and innovative spirit, I am able to envision game-changing ideas that promote sustainable practices, revolutionize whole sectors, and improve people's quality of life. The field of chemical engineering recognizes the importance of collaboration over individual genius.
Leadership, in my view, is about more than just taking charge; it's also about igniting the ambition and drive in those around you. A great leader inspires confidence in their followers and creates a setting where everyone's talents may flourish. Having open lines of communication is critical for achieving success and making sure everyone is on the same page. Ethical decision-making in service of the team's success and greater good is another hallmark of effective leadership. Leadership is about making a difference and leaving a legacy of development and improvement.
Along the way, I realized that true leadership is less about command and more about influencing people to reach their full potential. It's a never-ending process of developing the qualities that make you a good leader and inspire others. I want to reflect these ideals in my daily life and help make my neighborhood a better place for everyone.

My name is Nabeel Hakeem-Olowu. I will be a college sophomore at Widener University. I am an ambitious, goal-focused, and self-disciplined individual driven by a strong desire to achieve meaningful and important goals. Now, before I dive in, a little bit of back story. Life's adversities often serve as catalytic catalysts, driving people and families to new levels of self-awareness and progress. My family and I met a significant challenge that would forever change our lives as we began the laborious road of relocating to the United States. The insurmountable language barrier was the biggest obstacle we encountered upon arriving, but we overcame it and emerged stronger people for it.
My family and I were met with a formidable barrier the moment we set foot in the United States: the English language. Our lack of English skills severely hampered our opportunities for employment, further education, and social integration in the United States. Simple things like going to the store or using public transit turned into Herculean efforts. We experienced frequent miscommunication and severe loneliness as a result of our new location. Frustration was stoked by our failure to articulate our thoughts clearly, and we missed chances because of it. This test made us aware of our frailties and inspired us to overcome the language barrier through dogged persistence and hard work.
The process our family went through to break through the language barrier required flexibility and persistence. My parents worked minimum-wage jobs to support our family, but they took advantage of evening programs and total immersion to acquire English. Seeing their dedication firsthand motivated me to pursue the same goal. We ate up literature, laboriously worked on our pronunciation, and constantly interacted with native English speakers. In our household, blunders were seen as learning opportunities and were actively encouraged. We became stronger as a result of our ups and downs, coming to see adversity as an opportunity rather than a threat. In addition to improving our language skills, this challenging experience taught us the importance of a lifetime commitment to education and instilled in us the conviction that any challenge can be conquered through hard work and determination.
Learning a new language and culture gave us more respect for individuality and the openness to consider other points of view. When my family immigrated to the United States, the language barrier was the most difficult obstacle to overcome. We overcame this challenge thanks to our unflagging commitment, flexibility, and determination. The hardships I overcame and the cultures I blended with and empathized with helped form the person I am today. Now that I know no problem is insurmountable, I eagerly seek out obstacles as chances to learn and develop.
I have gotten to help with Habitat for Humanity before. I have a lot of sympathy for Habitat for Humanity because I think everyone should have a safe, affordable place to live. Helping build homes for low-income families gave me firsthand experience with the transformative potential of communities coming together to assist one another. My time spent with Habitat for Humanity included interactions with both volunteers and skilled craftsmen, as well as the families we were working to better. We built a neighborhood that was more than simply a place to sleep by working together.

It was as if she could read my mind because she expressed exactly what I felt but couldn't find the words for. Her remarks helped me realize that I wasn't crazy for feeling the way I did, and it was a huge step toward understanding myself.
The song "Shake It Off" really moved me. This song's uplifting melody and lyrics have become my own personal rallying cry, encouraging me to accept myself just as I am. As I listened to this song, I was reminded of the value of accepting oneself without regard to the opinions of others. Swift's bravery motivated me to confront adversity head-on, which in turn taught me to value myself independently of the approval of others. In addition, I first learned about vulnerability as an idea via Taylor Swift's songs on the Eras Tour. Songs like "All Too Well" and "Clean" revealed unprocessed feelings of loss and recovery. These songs reflected my feelings of love and grief so that I could examine and understand them.
I realized that showing emotions like fear, sadness, or anger is not a sign of weakness but rather an evidence of our humanity.

My favorite book is The Fountainhead by Amy Rand. Keating, a character in the novel, holds the view that one must be self-centered to obtain the things in life that matter most to them. Ayn Rand, the book's author, says she's pleased with the book's purpose and content. This woman is confident in her beliefs, and she believes that her writing is a way to portray an ideal man. That's not my opinion. Keating's negative conduct should not be applied to the broader population as a whole. We should not be self-centered.
When we are selfless, we are better able to connect with people. Because we don't act out of pride or a desire to be seen, it helps to restrain our ego. It aids us in acting on our minds and souls, not our egos, with the emotions we desire to feel. Our friendships can be the focus of our attention instead of looking for a buddy who makes us feel a certain way. It spreads easily. We're looking for folks who are kind, loving, and generous. They promote a sense of harmony and tranquility. Better communication is encouraged.
My most significant accomplishment as a Muslim is developing a strong personal relationship with Islam. Embracing Islam's teachings has been a life-altering experience that has helped me find serenity, compassion, and humility within myself. I have developed a great sense of purpose and found comfort in my religion through times of introspection, prayer, and service to others. Thanks to my spiritual development, I've been able to face life's obstacles head-on and emerge stronger and more inspiring to others around me. As a Muslim, my greatest accomplishment is not a one-time act but rather a consistent commitment to a life of faith, love, and service.

Developing the qualities of empathy, compassion, and a sincere desire to help others succeed is essential to embodying selflessness, which is a transforming goal in and of itself. By consistently lending a hand to those in need, I've aimed to be a selfless role model who makes a good difference in people's lives. This article explores my growth in altruism and provides examples of times I've helped others out of my own neediness. The ability to empathize with and share the emotions of others is fundamental to the practice of altruism. Starting off, I worked on developing this trait so that I could empathize with others and understand their challenges and goals.
The Ear: A First Example
A dear friend of mine was going through a rough patch, weighed down by problems at home and emotional turmoil. I realized the value of just listening to her and empathizing with her situation, so I did just that. By giving her a place to talk about her feelings without fear of judgment, she strengthened our relationship.
Mentoring as a Second Method of Empowerment: While participating in a mentoring program, I met a young kid who was having a hard time in school and doubting herself. Using compassion as my compass, I helped her find her footing, allowing her to conquer her fears and realize her full potential. Seeing her go from being timid to bold is a testament to the power of a selfless mentor.
Actions that relieve the pain of others and elevate their spirits are the true measure of compassion, which goes far beyond intellectual assent. Through my actions, I have tried to show that I care.
Giving a Hand, as an Illustration: During my time as a volunteer at a homeless shelter, I met a woman and her two young children who were in a really difficult situation. I was moved by their circumstances and made it my mission to get them in touch with local agencies that may help them. Seeing the light of optimism in their eyes brought home to me the transformative potential of selflessness.
Second Illustration: How Charity Can Improve People's Lives: Together with a group of other volunteers, I participated in a charity campaign to provide basic necessities and educational resources to kids from low-income families. Seeing the children's cheeks light up with thanks and appreciation as they opened their presents was a powerful reminder that acts of generosity plant the seeds of optimism and affection. The beauty of selflessness comes in the ripple effect it generates, where one act of kindness sets off a domino effect of good that benefits many others.
Mobilizing Local Resources: I took the initiative to organize a group of aid workers after a natural catastrophe left many people in our town homeless and defenseless. We coordinated our efforts to help the victims and provide them with consolation. The outpouring of community aid demonstrated the far-reaching effects of altruism on a mass scale.
Second Illustration: Making It Easy For Others To Give: After seeing the transformative power of altruism, I launched seminars and awareness campaigns to inspire people to take action. The community's will to make a difference became stronger as more and more people chipped in their time, money, and expertise.
Altruism, compassion, and personal development are lifelong pursuits that must be embodied on a daily basis. My goal in life has always been to make a good difference in the world through fostering empathy and taking concrete actions to aid people in need.

Together, we can convey a louder message of respect for human life by participating in rallies, hosting fundraising events, and pushing for pro-life legislation. To promote understanding and common ground, it is essential to have productive conversations with people who have different perspectives on abortion. My goal is to have dialogue with people across ideological lines while listening with empathy.
My family's unwavering love and support, my personal experiences in underprivileged areas, and the mentoring and education that cultivated my moral sensibilities have all shaped my pro-life stance over the course of my life. I believe in using a multidimensional strategy that includes advocacy, support, education, and cooperation to promote the worth and dignity of all human beings, including the unborn. I want to be an agent of change where all lives are valued and safeguarded through sharing information, encouraging compassion, and having fruitful conversations.

Veganism represents a paradigm shift, embodying compassion, sustainability, and a reverence for all living beings. This essay delves into what veganism means to me and its transformative impact on my future.
Veganism is far more than a dietary preference; it is a philosophy that encompasses ethical, environmental, and health considerations. For me, veganism embodies a compassionate and harmonious relationship with the world around us. It means embracing a lifestyle that minimizes the suffering of animals, respects the environment, and promotes personal well-being.
Firstly, veganism is an ethical stance against the exploitation of animals. By abstaining from animal products, I actively participate in a compassionate movement that recognizes animals as sentient beings with inherent rights to life, freedom, and dignity. It signifies my refusal to support industries that perpetuate cruelty, such as factory farming and animal testing. Veganism is a resounding affirmation that all life deserves respect, compassion, and the chance to thrive.

I believe that each individual's choice to embrace veganism can cumulatively lead to transformative environmental change, mitigating climate change, preserving precious ecosystems, and safeguarding the Earth's fragile balance.
Moreover, veganism can foster personal well-being. Plant-based diets, rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, offer a myriad of health benefits. By eliminating animal products, I am nourishing my body with a diverse array of nutrients while reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Veganism encourages mindfulness about food choices, inspiring me to explore creative, plant-based culinary alternatives that nourish my body and elevate my overall well-being.
The impact of veganism on my future is multi-faceted and far-reaching. As an individual committed to veganism, I envision a future where compassionate choices and sustainable practices become the societal norm. By actively advocating for veganism, I aim to inspire others to join this transformative movement, creating a ripple effect that catalyzes positive change. Through education, community engagement, and leading by example, I aspire to contribute to a more inclusive and compassionate society, where the inherent worth of all beings is recognized and celebrated.
On a personal level, embracing veganism has empowered me to develop a profound sense of connection and purpose. It has encouraged me to cultivate mindfulness, empathy, and resilience in navigating the challenges of life. Veganism has enriched my life with an ever-growing awareness of the interconnectedness of all living beings and a deepened commitment to promoting justice, sustainability, and compassion in all aspects of my existence.
Veganism represents a transformative journey that transcends personal preferences, embracing compassion, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of all life. It embodies ethical principles, environmental stewardship, and personal well-being. By embracing veganism, I believe that I am contributing to a future where kindness and empathy prevail, paving the way for a more harmonious and sustainable world.

CEW IV Foundation Scholarship Program
Yes, it is necessary for society to change its way of responding to the problems of the disadvantaged. The current approach of providing limited aid or charity to the disadvantaged is not effective in addressing the root causes of their problems. The disadvantaged, such as the poor, homeless, and marginalized communities, need more than temporary solutions to their problems. They need long-term solutions that address the structural and systemic issues that contribute to their marginalization.
Firstly, the current approach of providing limited aid or charity creates a dependency on external assistance. This approach does not empower the disadvantaged to become self-sufficient or improve their situation. Instead, it perpetuates the cycle of poverty and disadvantage. Furthermore, charity often operates on a short-term basis, providing immediate relief, but failing to address the underlying causes of poverty or homelessness.
Secondly, the current approach fails to recognize the structural and systemic issues that contribute to the marginalization of the disadvantaged. For example, the lack of affordable housing, healthcare, and education are systemic issues that contribute to poverty and homelessness. Additionally, discrimination and inequality based on race, gender, or sexual orientation also contribute to marginalization. Society needs to address these root causes through policy changes, social programs, and education to create a more equitable and just society.
Thirdly, the current approach often stigmatizes and blames the disadvantaged for their situation. The media, politicians, and some members of society often blame the disadvantaged for their poverty or homelessness, claiming that they are lazy or lack the necessary skills to succeed. This approach fails to recognize the structural barriers and systemic issues that contribute to their situation. The disadvantaged face multiple challenges and barriers that are beyond their control, such as discrimination, lack of access to education or healthcare, and a lack of affordable housing.
In conclusion, society needs to change its way of responding to the problems of the disadvantaged. The current approach of providing limited aid or charity is not effective in addressing the root causes of poverty and marginalization. Society needs to recognize the structural and systemic issues that contribute to the marginalization of the disadvantaged and address them through policy changes, social programs, and education. Additionally, society needs to move away from blaming the disadvantaged for their situation and instead work towards creating a more equitable and just society that provides opportunities for all its members to succeed. Only then can we truly address the problems of the disadvantaged and create a society where everyone has the chance to thrive

There were frequent power cuts, and some areas hardly received any electricity at all.
Growing up, I was raised primarily by my grandparent due to various circumstances that made it difficult for my parents to care for me. Looking back, I realize that being raised by a grandparent had a significant impact on my upbringing and future goals. One of the most challenging aspects of being raised by a grandparent was the emotional and psychological trauma resulting from the loss of a parent or separation from my biological family. Adapting to a new living situation was also challenging, especially since it was not a traditional family structure. However, having a stable and supportive caregiver, my grandparent, helped me to feel secure and loved.
On the positive side, being raised by my grandparent gave me the opportunity to develop a close relationship with an older family member who offered valuable life experience and wisdom that helped me navigate difficult situations and make important decisions.

Our Destiny Our Future Scholarship
I plan to make a positive impact on the world by raising awareness for domestic violence, and explaining how these efforts will impact the lives of others. Domestic violence is a pervasive issue that affects millions of people every year. It is a serious problem that can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. It is a problem that requires immediate attention and action. To raise awareness for domestic violence, I believe that education is key. There are still many people who are unaware of the signs of domestic violence, or who do not know how to identify abusive behavior. By educating people about the signs of abuse, I can help them recognize when they or someone they know is in an abusive relationship.
One of the most effective ways to raise awareness for domestic violence is through social media. Social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have a large audience, and it is an excellent tool for me to spread information and raise awareness. Using social media, I can share information about domestic violence, its signs, and how to get help. Another way I will raise awareness is through community events. Events such as marches, rallies, and public meetings can help to bring people together and raise awareness about domestic violence. These events can also be used to provide information about support services available to those who are experiencing abuse.
I believe that my actions can help impact the lives of others by providing a platform for people to share their stories. By sharing personal stories of domestic violence survivors, I can help to break the silence surrounding this issue. When people hear these stories, they can better understand the impact of domestic violence on individuals and families, and they may be more likely to take action to prevent it. In addition to raising awareness, I will also support survivors of domestic violence. I will do this by volunteering at local shelters, donating money to organizations that support survivors, or simply listening to survivors when they want to share their stories.
In conclusion, domestic violence is a pervasive issue that requires immediate attention and action. By raising awareness through education, social media, community events, and personal stories, I can help to break the silence surrounding this issue. I believe that my actions can help impact the lives of others by providing a platform for people to share their stories and by supporting survivors of domestic violence. Together, we can make a difference and put an end to domestic violence. I hope I have empowered you with this essay.
Barbara Cain Literary Scholarship
Reading books has been an excellent way for me to learn new things, gain knowledge and insights, and shape my goals and aspirations. Different books have offered me unique perspectives, ideas, and inspiration that have influenced how I think, behave, and pursue my dreams. One valuable lesson that many books have taught me is the power of persistence and hard work. Reading stories of individuals who have overcome adversity and achieved success through hard work and determination has inspired me to pursue my goals with greater resilience and dedication.
Books have also offered me valuable insights into different cultures, societies, and ways of thinking. Through reading, I have gained a deeper understanding of the world around me, and this has broadened my horizons and shaped my goals in new and exciting ways. Finally, books have taught me about the importance of lifelong learning and personal growth. By reading books on different subjects, I have expanded my knowledge and skills, and this has helped me to pursue new opportunities and achieve my goals.
One of the books I’ve read is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Keating, a character in the novel, holds the view that one must be self-centered to obtain the things in life that matter most to them. Ayn Rand, the book's author, says she's pleased with the book's purpose and content. This woman is confident in her beliefs, and she believes that her writing is a way to portray an ideal man. That's not my opinion. Keating's negative conduct should not be applied to the broader population. We should not be self-centered. When we are selfless, we are better able to connect with people. Because we don't act out of pride or a desire to be seen, it helps to restrain our ego.
It aids us in acting on our minds and souls, not our egos, with the emotions we desire to feel. Our friendships can be the focus of our attention instead of looking for a buddy who makes us feel a certain way. It spreads easily. We're looking for folks who are kind, loving, and generous. They promote a sense of harmony and tranquility. Better communication is encouraged. In our relationships, marriages, and friendships, we can exercise selflessness every day. We focus on the other person instead of how the relationship should make us feel. Think "We're doing this for you" with "Happy." Our relationships will be affected as a result.
We have a lot of high hopes for our family and friends, and when they let us down, it's hard to move on. It's time to bring them back to the topic at hand so that they can see how we may be of service to them. We set ourselves up to be happy. To make the world a better place, we need to communicate and understand one another. In conclusion, reading books has offered me valuable lessons and insights that have shaped my goals and aspirations. Whether it has been learning about perseverance, gaining new perspectives, or pursuing personal growth, books have inspired me to achieve my dreams and lead a fulfilling life.
Derk Golden Memorial Scholarship
Soccer, also known as football in some parts of the world, is a sport loved by millions of people globally. It is a beautiful game that requires both physical and mental skills, strategy, teamwork, and passion. I am passionate about soccer for various reasons. It is a way of life, a form of entertainment, and a means of socializing. One reason I am passionate about soccer is the excitement and thrill of the game. Soccer games can be intense and emotional, and the adrenaline rush I feel when my team scores a goal is unparalleled. The sport also teaches me about teamwork, dedication, and perseverance.
Soccer can play an essential part in people's lives in many ways. For some, it can be a career path, leading to professional opportunities and financial stability. For me, it is a way to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, soccer brings people from different backgrounds and cultures together, fostering social connections and building friendships that can last me a lifetime. Soccer is a sport that brings joy, excitement, and many life lessons to me. It plays an essential role in my life, from providing entertainment to promoting physical fitness and social connections.
I have also been motivated to play soccer to the best of my ability by an animated series that I watched when I was younger. Supa Strikas is a pan-African association football-themed animated series about the titular football team, dubbed the world’s greatest. Dancing Rasta is the Jamaican captain of Supa Strikas. He wears the number 9 jersey and is a seasoned mountaineer. He is very polite. Most fans believe he is the greatest captain in the Super League. He is very motivational. By learning from his leadership, I became the captain of the Crescent International Soccer Team last summer. Before my team started, we went to train in Harrisburg. Our coaches helped us get to where we are now. We practiced four to six hours every day for two months before we started competitions.
I made sure everyone showed up to practice to get the most out of it. I encouraged my team to keep moving forward and working hard, despite the scorching sun. I also took on the responsibility of training new teammates that flew in from other countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Brazil, on the techniques and skills. There was a bit of a barrier because of the language difference, but I found a way. I will never forget the drills, matches, weight rooms, suicide runs, long sprints, ice baths, and all. We had to balance it with school because it was both exciting and exhausting.
Then, after the competition started, we made the playoffs, and after destroying all the teams, we made it to the semi-finals. We then entered the finals. I remember our last match, which caught the attention of thousands of spectators. We played at the Skyline Sports Complex. We won! Finally, after having only two wins in eight years, we shocked the districts. So, after the season was over, I didn't want to give up everything I worked for because of the winter. So, I joined the Sunday League; we play pickup games and have fun with other teams. We hit the weight room and play indoors frequently. Although the competitions will soon begin, the other teams think they have the upper hand because most of our players have either been injured or graduated. But when we start recruiting, they will all pay.
Eco-Warrior Scholarship
I play a key part in reducing environmental consciousness by adopting a few simple procedures that begin at home. I keep the environment clean, green, and healthy. Growing up in a family that prioritizes sustainability, I am constantly exposed to the importance of reducing our carbon footprint and preserving the planet for future generations. I use my electrical equipment less often, as this is the most efficient way to save electricity. I have the option of purchasing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient appliances. Switching off the lights and appliances when they are not in use is one of the greatest methods to save energy. Instead of using an electric device, I can attempt to heat the water with solar power and not have to use hot water to wash my clothing in a washing machine. I use alternative modes of transportation instead of driving more often.
I am advised to fix my car's leaky air conditioner because it ruins the top layer of the odorous atmosphere. While filling my automobile with gas, I must be cautious not to spill any of it out of the tank. I also have the option of using engine oil that does not use a lot of energy. Afforestation is important in my town and the suburbs. Our major source of clean oxygen, trees, has been diminished because of industrial growth and companies in the area. The same holds for natural plant landscapes. Besides being low-maintenance and reducing carbon emissions, it also promotes the preservation of the local ecology.
I reduce my reliance on wood-burning stoves in my home as my whole family's health is at risk because of the extra smoke produced by wood burners. With energy-efficient equipment that promises cheap expenses and speedy cooking, I can cook without having to spend a fortune. I maintain a healthy atmosphere. Ecosystems must be able to interact with green plants, creatures, and animals in a healthy environment to function properly. For many years, these three organisms have worked together to maintain the health and viability of the whole ecosystem. When I make a few simple lifestyle changes, I can help safeguard the whole world and its environment more efficiently.
It is always a good idea to get rid of household chemicals and pesticides that contaminate the natural environment. Instead, I use distilled vinegar, lemon, and baking soda to produce my cleaning solutions. Many ecologically friendly and conventional cleaning solutions, including "green" ones, are available on the market. I reuse materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Glass, plastics, aluminum, and paper may all be recycled rather than thrown away in the trash. Burning these items will not result in any global warming of the air. I avoid the use of throwaway plastic or paper products by using reusable tubes and bags.
I maintain a low environmental impact. There are several techniques to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. By lowering the temperature of my water heater, hand-washing dishes rather than using a dishwasher, turning down the thermostat on my air conditioner or heater, and investing in energy-efficient lighting, I can reduce the amount of energy I use and the amount of heat I generate. I eat local foods, which minimizes the need for pesticides and preservatives to make food safe. These airborne preservatives are a direct source of global warming. Food that is preserved with dangerous chemicals and pesticides that mess up the global ecosystem is not as safe as food that is preserved naturally. All these ideas help to maintain my environment orderly, safe, and clean.

McClendon Leadership Award
Leadership is a complex and multifaceted concept that is essential for the success of any organization or group. It involves the ability to inspire, motivate, and guide others towards a common goal or objective. In my opinion, leadership is more than just holding a position of authority; it is a combination of traits, skills, and behaviors that enable individuals to make a positive impact on their followers, peers, and the wider community.
To me, leadership means setting a vision and inspiring others to work towards it. It involves the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, to listen to the concerns and feedback of others, and to make decisions that benefit the greater good. A good leader should be able to build trust and respect among their followers by leading by example, showing integrity, and being accountable for their actions. They should also be able to motivate their team and encourage them to strive for excellence and continuous improvement.
One of the main reasons why leadership is so important is that it can drive positive change and make a significant impact on individuals and communities. Good leaders have the ability to inspire and motivate people to work towards a common goal, whether it is to solve a problem, achieve a particular objective, or create a positive change in society. They have the power to influence the way people think, behave, and act, and can make a difference in the lives of those around them.
Leadership is also essential for building and maintaining successful organizations. A good leader can create a positive work environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and collaboration, and can inspire their team to achieve great things. They can also develop and implement strategies that drive growth and profitability, and can ensure that the organization operates efficiently and effectively.
Moreover, leadership is crucial for personal development and growth. Being a leader requires individuals to develop and hone their skills and abilities, including communication, problem-solving, and decision-making. It also requires them to build resilience and emotional intelligence, as well as to learn from their mistakes and failures. Leadership can help individuals to develop self-confidence, self-awareness, and a sense of purpose and direction, which can be invaluable in both personal and professional contexts.
In conclusion, leadership is an important concept that is essential for success in all areas of life. It involves the ability to inspire, motivate, and guide others towards a common goal or objective, and requires individuals to develop a range of skills and behaviors. Leadership can make a significant impact on individuals and communities, and can drive positive change in society.
Jorian Kuran Harris (Shugg) Helping Heart Foundation Scholarship
This scholarship would help ease my financial burden, as my mom is a single parent, and she is currently battling cancer. This has really taken a toll on me as it has left me physically and emotionally weak. My brother and I have also been working three jobs each so that we can pay for our mother’s medical bills.
As a West African, I have faced many challenges, which include epileptic power supply, bad water supply, and high rates of poverty. The Nigerian energy crisis is a long-lasting problem where the country's power sector fails to provide sufficient electricity to households and industries. Despite having abundant natural resources like coal, oil, and gas, and being Africa's largest oil producer, only 45% of the population has access to the energy grid. There are frequent power cuts, and some areas hardly receive any electricity at all.
I persisted for fourteen years before moving to the United States. I aspire to be a senior chemical engineer someday. I am passionate about hard work, sports, and volunteering. Through my perseverance and hardship, I have become an ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individual who is driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful and important goals. I have attained a 4.0 GPA, an SAT score of 1600, 6000 community service hours, and a strong mathematical background, along with a thorough understanding of science subjects. I see giving back to the community as an integral part of one's life.
I am now looking for employment opportunities. Finding a job, even a part-time or temporary position, can provide much-needed income and help my family and I build a foundation for financial stability. We also explore self-employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. We seek support from family and friends because they can be a source of emotional and financial support. They may be able to offer temporary housing or provide help with childcare, transportation, or other needs. We also try to develop a positive mindset. Overcoming poverty can be a long-term process, and it is important to stay positive and focused on the goal.
I intend to study chemical engineering. I need to go to college because I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
I chose this field because I have always had a flair for STEM and solving problems that make the world a better place. I am also a community advocate. The fundamental necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, are hard to come by in my area because of corruption and embezzlement. I am now working with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg, and I have completed 6000 hours of community service.
I learned that I could develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice. I plan to use my education to explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also for the global community. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people have benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.

Wellness Warriors Scholarship
I am excited to be finally out of my comfort zone, exploring new cultures, learning from people, and sharing information. However, with enjoyment comes difficulties and challenges. The most important thing is to know how to persevere in difficult situations. I try to maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul amidst the challenges I face in school. In my spare time, I like to exercise and train my fellow college peers. More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's. The increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that occurs while exercising helps to decrease the development of illnesses associated with oxidative stress (Deslandes et al., 2009).
Inflammation is seen in every illness. Our body's capacity to eliminate inflammation is enhanced when we exercise regularly. Many benefits may be gained by those who exercise regularly. I begin by jogging with my peers a few miles a week and then gradually increase our training time. Excessive weightlifting or aerobic exercise may be harmful and impair motivation to practice further. I encourage them to raise their exercise levels slowly and gradually. Weight training and other forms of physical exercise have been shown to benefit mental health. It is also possible to boost levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to enhance cognitive functions such as memory and clarity of thought, as well as feelings of self-worth and self-confidence.
While antidepressants have negative effects, exercise has been found in studies to be just as beneficial in treating mild to moderate depression. According to research, following a regular exercise program may help avoid relapses of depression. For a variety of reasons, exercise is an effective weapon in the battle against depression. I explain to them that the most essential thing is to stimulate all kinds of changes in the brain, including the formation of new nerves, the reduction of inflammation, and the development of new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being. Endorphins, a powerful brain chemical that lifts and improves mood, are also released. Finally, going for a run or walk allows us to take a break from the constant barrage of depressing thoughts that plague us.
Weightlifting is one of the few activities that consistently makes us feel good about ourselves. We sleep better at night. When we get up in the morning, we are more energized, we remember things better, and we have a more optimistic attitude toward life. A wide range of common mental health issues may be treated with it. Exercise may have a positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It is not necessary to be a fitness fanatic to get the rewards, either! Even running just a few laps a day may have a significant impact. Exercise may be a great tool for addressing mental health difficulties, increasing energy and optimism, and generally making the most of one's life, regardless of one's age or physical fitness level.

I would always remind myself of why I was in a certain place at any given time in my life. I will also be motivated by a deep desire to achieve significant objectives in my life. As a result of my natural leadership abilities, I would assist other people in achieving their objectives. I would be self-disciplined and focused on the long term. I would enjoy setting a goal and then working tirelessly to achieve it. I would also develop a strong sense of self-determination. Another thing to consider would be to plot my progress. I would draw or create a visual representation of how close I am to achieving the goal I have set for myself.

I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty. I would also want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring. I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities.

I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, and developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
I chose this field because I have always had a flair for STEM and solving problems that make the world a better place. The fundamental necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, are hard to come by in my area because of corruption and embezzlement. I am now working with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg, and I have completed 4000 hours of community service. I learned that I could develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice.
I plan to use my education to explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also for the global community. Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. We also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty. I would also want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring.
For example, I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities. To bring inequality concerns to the public's notice, I arrange things like photo exhibits, public discussions, and local meetups. Additionally, I would want to ask residents in my neighborhood to attend and participate in a discussion. My allegiance is to my immediate surroundings. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.

I am excited to be finally out of my comfort zone, exploring new cultures, learning from people, and sharing information. However, with enjoyment comes difficulties and challenges. The most important thing is to know how to persevere in difficult situations. I try to maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul amidst the challenges I face in school. In my spare time, I like to exercise and train people. More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's. The increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that occurs while exercising helps to decrease the development of illnesses associated with oxidative stress (Deslandes et al., 2009).
Inflammation is seen in every illness. Our body's capacity to eliminate inflammation is enhanced when we exercise regularly. Many benefits may be gained by those who exercise regularly. I begin by jogging a few miles a week and then gradually increase my training time. Excessive weightlifting or aerobic exercise may be harmful and impair the motivation to practice further. I will slowly and gradually raise my exercise level. Weight training and other forms of physical exercise have been shown to benefit mental health. It is also possible to boost levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to enhance cognitive functions such as memory and clarity of thought, as well as feelings of self-worth and self-confidence.
While antidepressants have negative effects, exercise has been found in studies to be just as beneficial in treating mild to moderate depression. According to research, following a regular exercise program may help avoid relapses in depression. For a variety of reasons, exercise is an effective weapon in the battle against depression. To me, the most essential thing is to stimulate all kinds of changes in the brain, including the formation of new nerves, the reduction of inflammation, and the development of new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being. Endorphins, a powerful brain chemical that lifts and improves mood, are also released. Finally, going for a run or walk allows me to take a break from the constant barrage of depressing thoughts that plague me.
Weightlifting is one of the few activities that consistently makes me feel good about myself. When I get up in the morning, I am more energized, I sleep better at night, I remember things better, and I have a more optimistic attitude towards life. A wide range of common mental health issues may be treated with it. Exercise may have a positive impact on depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is not necessary to be a fitness fanatic to get the rewards, either! Even running just a few laps a day may have a significant impact. Exercise may be a great tool for addressing mental health difficulties, increasing energy and optimism, and generally making the most of one's life, regardless of one's age or physical fitness level.

Healthy Eating Scholarship
Those who are sedentary burn calories at a lower rate than those who are physically engaged. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), there is a clear link between inactivity and weight gain in both men and women. Consuming a diet heavy in simple sugars: Carbohydrates may or may not contribute to weight gain. Carbohydrates raise blood glucose levels, which in turn prompts the pancreas to produce insulin, which aids in fat storage and, thus, weight gain is a possibility. According to some researchers, simple carbohydrates (such as sugar and fruit juice concentrate) can lead to weight gain because they are absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly than complex carbohydrates (such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fresh fruits and vegetables), and thus cause a greater insulin release after meals. Some researchers say this increased insulin release may be a factor in weight gain.
Overeating, particularly if the diet is heavy in fat, causes weight gain. Fast food, fried foods, and sweets, for example, are rich in calories per unit of fat or sugar (a lot of calories in a small amount of food). There is strong evidence that a diet heavy in fat contributes to weight gain in epidemiological research. a person's eating habits There is significant debate concerning the link between eating frequency and weight gain. Many studies have shown that people who are obese eat less often than those who are healthy. According to scientific research, people who eat four or five little meals a day have lower cholesterol and/or more stable blood sugar levels than those who eat just once or twice a day, according to scientific research (two or three large meals daily).
Because insulin levels remain stable if individuals consume a lot of small meals, but insulin levels rise significantly after a large meal, this may be a contributing factor. If you are diabetic, there are things you can do to lower your risk of heart disease. Controlling your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, keeping your weight in a healthy range, and getting enough sleep are just some of the things you can do.
In my spare time, I like to exercise. More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's.

Learner Math Lover Scholarship
I love math because it is applied in various fields and disciplines, i.e., mathematical concepts and procedures are used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics. (For example, the understanding of complex numbers is a prerequisite to learn many concepts in electronics.) The complexity of those problems often requires relatively sophisticated mathematical concepts and procedures when compared to the mathematical literacy aforementioned. Mathematics is a part of our human cultural heritage, and we have a responsibility to develop that heritage. Secondly, since mathematics provides foundational knowledge and skills for other school subjects, such as sciences, art, economy, etc., the issue of how mathematics is intertwined with other school subjects deserved to be addressed.
In some curricula, mathematics is offered independently to support the study of other school subjects as an ‘instrumental subject’, and in other curricula, integrated courses which combine mathematics and other fields are offered. Thirdly, we may wish to reflect on the number of hours (proportion of hours) and/or courses allocated to mathematics when compared to the other school subject in the curriculum of each country. In addition to this quantitative analysis, information about the qualitative description of school mathematics about other subjects also needs to be gathered. Although this comparison won’t show us the whole picture of why different countries attach the importance that they do to mathematics, the comparison may nonetheless provoke further discussion.
The greatest hurdle in the process of learning mathematics is a lack of practice. Students should daily work out at least 10 problems from different areas to master the concept and develop speed and accuracy in solving a problem. Learning multiplication tables should be encouraged in the lower classes. Another very effective means of spreading the knowledge of mathematics among children is through peer teaching. Moreover, in the process, all the children will be able to express their doubts on the topic and clear them through discussions in a group.
The present age is one of skill-development and innovations. The more mathematical we are in our approach, the more successful we will be. Mathematics offers rationality to our thoughts. It is a tool in our hands to make our life simpler and easier. Let us realize and appreciate the beauty of the subject and embrace it with all our hearts. It is a talent that should be compulsorily honed by all in every walk of life.

Linda "Noni" Anderson Memorial Music & Arts Scholarship
I am passionate about the creative arts because it develops my emotional intelligence, confidence and resilience, discipline and commitment, communication skills, identity and sense of belonging, creativity, problem-solving skills, and coordination. The Thinker by Auguste Rodin and Not Afraid by Eminem inspire me. The Thinker, a famous sculpture, depicts a hunched person on a stone pedestal, seemingly lost in thought. The body towers above everything else in the room at over 20 feet high. With his right elbow resting on his left knee and his chin resting on his right hand, the guy is in a meditative state of mind. Rodin's nakedness is a nod to Michelangelo's sculptures and the antiquity of ancient antiquity. Dante's Divine Comedy is also referenced in Rodin's original "Gates of Hell."
These doors have the Thinker in the middle of the upper panel. Following his death, Rodin granted permission to continue producing The Thinker and other pieces. The sculpture's castings may now be found all over the world, not only at Paris's Rodin Gardens. It encourages me to make a mark on the world with my own unique brand of genius. I photograph. I always have a camera with me, and I shoot images whenever I feel inspired. When I go for a stroll, I like to photograph wildflowers, happy people, marshmallows, and a collection of empty coffee cups. After that, I go out and take some good images, which I then go back and edit. The remainder gets thrown away. Regardless of the creative medium I use to inspire my work, I see the beauty in daily life.
I live in a world of flawlessness. In the words of Pablo Picasso, "Good art imitates, great art steals." Or, to put it another way, those who are good may learn from those who are better. When I am around people who keep me motivated and focused, I can be more creative. I am also inspired by Not Afraid by Eminem. This track is premised on the artist "taking a stand," as in confronting pressing issues head-on. And foremost among the resolutions he makes is a pledge to stay true to his musical profession. He is "married to the game." He expresses this sentiment not only in terms of continuing to make music but also in songs that are a genuine reflection of who he is as an individual. He is "not afraid to take a stand," as in he is not inclined to shy away from his controversial dispositions.
And in that regard, he pledges to his fans (like me) to always keep it real. Then the tone of the song shifts in the bridge and third verse. These parts of the song rather deal with Eminem’s well-known battles with drug addiction. So within the overall theme of the song, it is implied that Eminem's tackling all of the mentioned matters head-on requires a considerable degree of bravery on his part. But perhaps more to the point, his courage is manifest in his being able to proclaim such personal feelings to the listening public. So on one hand, "Not Afraid" is a rallying cry, with Eminem leading the charge towards people being bold in standing up for what they believe in, both in public and private. He is standing up for his beliefs. In doing so, he makes positive changes in his life and implores his listeners and fans to do the same.

The constitution is of great importance because it ensures that those who make decisions on behalf of the people do so in a manner that is reflective of the general population. This guarantees that the decisions made are fair and just. It outlines the procedures that may be used to hold those in positions of power accountable for the actions of the people they serve. By ensuring the preservation of people's particular freedoms and rights, it further outlines the bounds of the government's jurisdiction over their citizens. The enforcement of these rights contributes to the advancement of human dignity, equality, and freedom. For instance, state and federal governments may be required to maintain a "separation of powers" under the terms of their respective constitutions.
It is better to have a constitution that is voluntarily agreed upon by all parties involved as opposed to one that is imposed on us against our will. Even if everyone disagrees with the system of voting for governments all the time, they help contribute to the stability of society by ensuring that the people accept the legitimacy of the system of electing governments. The "bill of rights" in a constitution may often be found at or very close to the beginning of the text. This is where the rights of individuals are spelled out in detail. Most of a nation's fundamental rights belong to everyone, except for the right to vote, which may only be available to residents of that country.
These rights include the right to life, the right to freedom, the right to be protected from torture and captivity, the right to freedom of expression, and the right to peacefully protest injustices. These rights are what act as a check on the power of the government, and the constitution guarantees that everyone has access to the courts so that they may be exercised in accordance with the right to a fair trial in front of impartial judges. Administrative justice is a legal obligation in certain countries, and this requires all public officials to always act logically, respect the law, and provide citizens with a fair trial. It is very rare for constitutions to contain provisions that address concerns like fair employment and working conditions, in addition to social and cultural rights such as the right to appropriate housing and education.
This is because such measures are difficult to justify on economic grounds. It is possible that permitting people to express their political and civic rights is required to maintain a reasonable quality of life. Even though these "positive" rights have been written into the constitutions of many countries, there are still many people who believe that they limit the ability of the government to make wise choices about economic and social policies. Because of this, a constitution can provide that the state's duty to safeguard certain rights might be phased in over the course of a predetermined amount of time. Those who have a history of being oppressed, such as women and members of racial or ethnic minorities, may be the ones who appreciate them the most.
I plan to fight for the principle of equality included in the constitution, which needs further protections to ensure that women and members of other underrepresented groups are not subjected to discrimination. The upholding of human rights is also dependent upon constitutional legislation in a significant way. It is important to emphasize not just the role that the courts play in evaluating whether certain rights have been infringed but also the degree to which legislation is compatible with constitutional rights.

SmartAsset College SmartStart Personal Finance Scholarship
I was advised to manage my finances as a college student. Financial literacy is the ability to understand and use different money skills, such as managing your own money, making a budget, and investing. I can achieve this by understanding and valuing the importance of a good credit score. Understanding credit changed my life. Credit is the lifeblood of the modern economy. As a borrower, whether I am applying for a home mortgage, school loan funding, or just charging for lunch, I will need the services of a lender. I will also have to prove that I deserve that credit limit. It is my three-digit credit score that serves as the foundation of my financial well-being. Good credit might be the difference between being approved and being turned down for a mortgage, vehicle loan, or student loan.
If I have bad credit, getting a credit card with a low interest rate and borrowing money will be more costly. A strong credit score may have a significant influence even if I am not looking to borrow money. Credit information is routinely used as a litmus test by landlords, insurers, and employers to determine a person's dependability and responsibility. I may be seen as a high-risk investment because of my poor credit. Having excellent credit has several advantages. Apartment complexes are more likely to rent me a place. The employment process may include a credit check if I am in the market for a new job. However, the financial advantages of excellent credit are the most important. There are many ways that having excellent credit makes my life simpler and more economical.
I could be easily approved for credit. Banks and lenders are more likely to provide me with credit if I have a high credit score. Consequently, my chances of being approved for credit cards, loans, or mortgages are higher, and I may expect to hear back on my application sooner. Borrowing fees. People with strong credit are frequently given reduced interest rates in addition to having better credit acceptance rates. In the long run, I can save a lot of money from lowered interest rates. Improving my credit score is therefore an excellent idea. Loans with better terms Many lenders prefer to lend money to those who have a strong credit rating over those who do not.
For example, I could be eligible for a lower-interest mortgage or a bigger credit limit on a credit card. I need to change my credit practices if I want an increase in my credit score. invoices and payments. Because 35% of my credit score is based on my payment history, I make it a point to pay off all my credit cards on schedule, every time. A missed credit card payment may have long-lasting consequences on my credit score, particularly if I do not make up the amount as soon as possible. The usage of credit is a measure of how much of my credit limit is being used. If I want to have good credit, I will try to use no more than 30% of the credit I have available.
Suppose I have $15,000 in credit available; I will avoid carrying balances on any of my credit cards that are more than $4,500. I will pay off my credit cards as quickly as possible if my debt exceeds 30%. My credit score will have fewer chances of being lowered by those large amounts. Length of credit history is also important. Lenders want to know that one has a track record of appropriately managing credit accounts. Because of this, closing outdated credit cards is a poor idea, even if you no longer use them. When a person closes their oldest credit card accounts, they reduce their credit history, which is shown on one’s credit report. Keep your credit cards active if you want to develop credit.
Credit spread is also important in financial literacy. The numerous credit accounts in one’s name account for 10% of their credit score. If they have both revolving and installment credit, their credit score may climb a few points (like a mortgage or a car loan). Even if one just has credit cards, they could still establish and keep a high credit score, so they would not be concerned if they did not have much of a credit mix yet. Recently, we conducted credit checks. An investigation into one’s financial history is conducted every time one applies for a new loan. Making too many new credit applications at once is a dangerous financial move.
Having too many recent credit inquiries on one’s account might harm their credit score. If they want to have good credit, they should try to wait three to six months between credit card applications. Checking one’s credit score and credit report regularly is also a smart move. The most essential is to always pay one’s bills on time. They need to maintain the percentage of their credit card balance that they use as little as possible. The same goes for outdated credit accounts that are no longer in use. A long and respectable credit history might be shown instead by using one’s old cards. Following these steps would be critical in my eventual literacy acquisition.

I would have everyone in the world read The Fountainhead by Amy Rand. Keating, a character in the novel, holds the view that one must be self-centered to obtain the things in life that matter most to them. Ayn Rand, the book's author, says she's pleased with the book's purpose and content. This woman is confident in her beliefs, and she believes that her writing is a way to portray an ideal man. That's not my opinion. Keating's negative conduct should not be applied to the broader population as a whole. We should not be self-centered. When we are selfless, we are better able to connect with people. Because we don't act out of pride or a desire to be seen, it helps to restrain our ego. It aids us in acting on our minds and souls, not our egos, with the emotions we desire to feel. Our friendships can be the focus of our attention instead of looking for a buddy who makes us feel a certain way. It spreads easily. We're looking for folks who are kind, loving, and generous. They promote a sense of harmony and tranquility. Better communication is encouraged.
In our relationships, marriages, and friendships, we can exercise selflessness every day. We focus on the other person instead of how the relationship should make us feel. Think "We're doing this for you" with "Happy." Our relationships will be affected as a result. We have a lot of high hopes for our family and friends, and when they let us down, it's hard to move on. It's time to bring them back to the topic at hand so that they can see how we may be of service to them. We set ourselves up to be happy. To make the world a better place, we need to communicate and understand one another.

I can play a key role in conserving Pennsylvania's natural environment by adopting a few simple procedures that begin at home. The environment will be kept clean, green, and healthy by me. My electrical equipment needs to be used less often. This is the most efficient way to save electricity. I have the option of purchasing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient appliances. Switching off the lights and appliances when they are not in use is one of the greatest methods to save energy. I do not have to use hot water to wash my clothing in a washing machine. Instead of using an electric device, I can attempt to heat the water with solar power. I am going to have to use alternative modes of transportation instead of driving more often.
While filling my automobile with gas, I must be cautious not to spill any of it out of the tank. I also have the option of using engine oil that does not use a lot of energy. Another practice I will take up will be afforestation. Our major source of clean oxygen, trees, has been diminished because of industrial growth and companies in the area. The same holds for natural plant landscapes. Besides being low-maintenance and reducing carbon emissions, it also promotes the preservation of the local ecology.
I will also need to reduce my reliance on wood-burning stoves in my home. My whole family's health is at risk because of the extra smoke produced by wood burners. With energy-efficient equipment that promises cheap expenses and speedy cooking, I can cook without having to spend a fortune. I can also maintain a healthy atmosphere. Ecosystems must be able to interact with green plants, creatures, and animals in a healthy environment to function properly. For many years, these three organisms have worked together to maintain the health and viability of the whole ecosystem. Today, the whole environment is in jeopardy because of air and global warming. When I make a few simple lifestyle changes, I can help safeguard the whole world and its environment more efficiently.
It is always a good idea to get rid of household chemicals and pesticides that contaminate the natural environment. Instead, I will use distilled vinegar, lemon, and baking soda to produce my cleaning solutions. Many ecologically friendly and conventional cleaning solutions, including "green" ones, are available on the market. The reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away Glass, plastic, aluminum, and paper may all be recycled rather than thrown away in the trash. Burning these items will not result in any global warming of the air. It is also possible to avoid the use of throwaway plastic or paper products by using reusable tubes and bags.
I can also maintain a low environmental impact. There are several techniques to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. By lowering the temperature of my water heater, hand-washing dishes rather than using a dishwasher, turning down the thermostat on my air conditioner or heater, and investing in energy-efficient lighting, I can reduce the amount of energy I use and the amount of heat I generate. I eat local foods. The need for pesticides and preservatives to make food safe is minimized when it is grown close to where it will be consumed. These airborne preservatives are a direct source of global warming. Food that is preserved with dangerous chemicals and pesticides that mess up the global ecosystem is not as safe as food that is preserved naturally. All these ideas would help to keep my environment orderly, safe, and clean.

Climate Conservation Scholarship
I can play a key part in reducing environmental consciousness by adopting a few simple
procedures that begin at home. The environment will be kept clean, green, and healthy by me. My
electrical equipment needs to be used less often. This is the most efficient way to save electricity. I
have the option of purchasing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient appliances. Switching
off the lights and appliances when they are not in use is one of the greatest methods to save energy.
I do not have to use hot water to wash my clothing in a washing machine. Instead of using an
electric device, I can attempt to heat the water with solar power. I am going to have to use
alternative modes of transportation instead of driving more often.
Because it ruins the top layer of the odorous atmosphere, several nations advise me to fix my car's
leaky air conditioner. While filling my automobile with gas, I must be cautious not to spill any of it
out of the tank. I also have the option of using engine oil that does not use a lot of energy.
Afforestation. My town and the suburbs are eco-friendly places to call home. Our major source of
clean oxygen, trees, has been diminished because of industrial growth and companies in the area.
The same holds for natural plant landscapes. Besides being low-maintenance and reducing carbon
emissions, it also promotes the preservation of the local ecology.
Reducing my reliance on wood-burning stoves in my home. My whole family's health is at risk
because of the extra smoke produced by wood burners. With energy-efficient equipment that
promises cheap expenses and speedy cooking, I can cook without having to spend a fortune.
Maintaining a healthy atmosphere. Ecosystems must be able to interact with green plants,

Athletics Scholarship
Supa Strikas is a pan-African association football-themed comic, about the titular football team, dubbed the world’s greatest. Dancing Rasta is the Jamaican captain of Supa Strikas. He wears the number 9 jersey and is a seasoned mountaineer. He is very polite. Most fans believe he is the greatest captain in the Super League. He is very motivational.
By learning from his leadership, I became the captain of the Boys' Varsity Soccer Team last summer. Before my team started, we went to train in Harrisburg. Our coaches helped us get to where we are now. We had practiced four to six hours every day for two months before we started competitions. I made sure everyone showed up to practice to make the best out of it. I encouraged my team to keep moving forward and working hard, despite under the scorching sun.
I also took up the responsibility to train new teammates on the techniques and skills. I would never forget the drills, matches, weight rooms, suicide runs, long sprints, ice bath and all. We had to juggle school with it though, for it was a thrilling and tiresome experience. Then after the competitions started, we made the playoffs, after destroying all the teams, we made it to the semi-finals. We then entered the finals.
I remember our last match which caught the attention of thousands of spectators. We played in Yellow Breeches. We won! finally after having only two wins in eight years, we shocked the districts. So, after the season was over, I didn't want to give up everything I worked for because of the winter. So I joined the Sunday League, we play pickup games and have fun with other teams. We hit the weight room and play indoors frequently.
Although the competitions would soon begin, the other teams think they have the upper hand because most of our players have either got injuries or graduated. But when we start recruiting, they will all pay after we destroy them. I do intend to go to college after with scholarships. In my spare time, I also like to exercise and train people.
More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's. The increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that occurs while exercising helps to decrease the development of illnesses associated with oxidative stress (Deslandes et al., 2009). Inflammation is seen in every illness. Our body's capacity to eliminate inflammation is enhanced when we exercise regularly.
Many benefits may be gained by those who exercise regularly. I begin by jogging a few miles a week and then gradually increase my training time. Excessive weightlifting or aerobic exercise may be harmful and impair the motivation to practice further. I will slowly and gradually raise my exercise level. Weight training and other forms of physical exercise have been shown to benefit mental health.
It is also possible to boost levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to enhance cognitive functions such as memory and clarity of thought, as well as feelings of self-worth and self-confidence. While antidepressants have negative effects, exercise has been found in studies to be just as beneficial in treating mild to moderate depression.
Financial Literacy Importance Scholarship
It is important for me to manage my finances as a student to be financially stable in college. I educated myself on financial literacy. Financial literacy is the ability to understand and use different money skills, such as managing your own money, making a budget, and investing. I can achieve this by understanding and valuing the importance of a good credit score. Understanding credit changed my life. Credit is the lifeblood of the modern economy. As a borrower, whether I am applying for a home mortgage, school loan funding, or just charging for lunch, I will need the services of a lender. I will also have to prove that I deserve that credit limit. It is my three-digit credit score that serves as the foundation of my financial well-being. Good credit might be the difference between being approved and being turned down for a mortgage, vehicle loan, or student loan.
If I have bad credit, getting a credit card with a low-interest rate and borrowing money will be more costly. A strong credit score may have a significant influence even if I am not looking to borrow money. Credit information is routinely used as a litmus test by landlords, insurers, and employers to determine a person's dependability and responsibility. I may be seen as a high-risk investment because of my poor credit. Having excellent credit has several advantages. Apartment complexes are more likely to rent me a place. The employment process may include a credit check if I am in the market for a new job. However, the financial advantages of excellent credit are the most important. There are many ways that having excellent credit makes my life simpler and more economical.
Easier approval of credit. Banks and lenders are more likely to provide me with credit if I have a high credit score. Consequently, my chances of being approved for credit cards, loans, or mortgages are higher, and I may expect to hear back on my application sooner. Borrowing fees. People with strong credit are frequently given reduced interest rates in addition to having better credit acceptance rates. In the long run, I can save a lot of money from lowered interest rates. Improving my credit score is therefore an excellent idea. Loans with better terms. Many lenders prefer to lend money to those who have a strong credit rating over those who do not.
For example, I could be eligible for a lower-interest mortgage or a bigger credit limit on a credit card. I need to change my credit practices if I want an increase in my credit score. Invoices and payments. Because 35% of my credit score is based on my payment history, I make it a point to pay off all my credit cards on schedule, every time. A missed credit card payment may have long-lasting consequences on my credit score, particularly if I do not make up the amount as soon as possible. Usage of credit; is a measure of how much of my credit limit is being used. If I want to have good credit, I will try to use no more than 30% of the credit I have available.
For example, if I have $15,000 in credit available, I will avoid carrying balances on any of my credit cards that are more than $4,500. I will pay off my credit cards as quickly as possible if the debt on me surpasses 30%. My credit score will have fewer chances of being lowered by those large amounts. Following this steps would play a vital role in my acquisition of final literacy.

Curtis Holloway Memorial Scholarship
My mother. She is a person who excels in terms of skills and responsibilities. She takes charge easily and displays natural leadership qualities – often helping co-workers achieve their goals. She has a strong long-term focus and self-discipline. She likes to set a goal, and then work persistently towards it until it has been completed. She frequently has an internal locus of control. She believes that she, and the people she hangs out with, are responsible for where she'll end up in life.

I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
I chose this field because I have always had a flair for STEM and solving problems that make the world a better place. I am going to experience financial hardship when going to college. The fundamental necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, are hard to come by in my area because of corruption and embezzlement. I am now working with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg, and I have completed 4000 hours of community service. I learned that I could develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice.
I plan to use my education to explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also of the global community. Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. We also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty. I would also want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring.
For example, I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities. To bring inequality concerns to the public's notice, I arrange things like photo exhibits, public discussions, and local meetups. Additionally, I would want to ask residents in my neighborhood to attend and participate in a discussion. My allegiance is to my immediate surroundings. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.

Financial Hygiene Scholarship
Financial literacy is the ability to understand and use different money skills, such as managing your own money, making a budget, and investing. I can achieve this by understanding and valuing the importance of a good credit score. Understanding credit changed my life. Credit is the lifeblood of the modern economy. As a borrower, whether I am applying for a home mortgage, school loan funding, or just charging for lunch, I will need the services of a lender. I will also have to prove that I deserve that credit limit. It is my three-digit credit score that serves as the foundation of my financial well-being. Good credit might be the difference between being approved and being turned down for a mortgage, vehicle loan, or student loan.
If I have bad credit, getting a credit card with a low-interest rate and borrowing money will be more costly. A strong credit score may have a significant influence even if I am not looking to borrow money. Credit information is routinely used as a litmus test by landlords, insurers, and employers to determine a person's dependability and responsibility. I may be seen as a high-risk investment because of my poor credit. Having excellent credit has several advantages. Apartment complexes are more likely to rent me a place. The employment process may include a credit check if I am in the market for a new job. However, the financial advantages of excellent credit are the most important. There are many ways that having excellent credit makes my life simpler and more economical.
Easier approval of credit. Banks and lenders are more likely to provide me with credit if I have a high credit score. Consequently, my chances of being approved for credit cards, loans, or mortgages are higher, and I may expect to hear back on my application sooner. Borrowing fees. People with strong credit are frequently given reduced interest rates in addition to having better credit acceptance rates. In the long run, I can save a lot of money from lowered interest rates. Improving my credit score is therefore an excellent idea. Loans with better terms. Many lenders prefer to lend money to those who have a strong credit rating over those who do not.
For example, I could be eligible for a lower-interest mortgage or a bigger credit limit on a credit card. I need to change my credit practices if I want an increase in my credit score. Invoices and payments. Because 35% of my credit score is based on my payment history, I make it a point to pay off all my credit cards on schedule, every time. A missed credit card payment may have long-lasting consequences on my credit score, particularly if I do not make up the amount as soon as possible. Usage of credit; is a measure of how much of my credit limit is being used. If I want to have good credit, I will try to use no more than 30% of the credit I have available.
For example, if I have $15,000 in credit available, I will avoid carrying balances on any of my credit cards that are more than $4,500. I will pay off my credit cards as quickly as possible if the debt on me surpasses 30%. My credit score will have fewer chances of being lowered by those large amounts. Following this steps would play a vital role in my acquisition of final literacy.

Future Leaders in Technology Scholarship - High School Award
Chemical technology. I need to go to college because I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
A friend and I wrote essays as a form of communication to the masses to spread the awareness of and impact of air pollution on human health. We wanted to stop the spread of this menace as it is currently one of the global challenges affecting the world's population. We started by exposing ourselves to valuable ideas. Then, we decided to search for global challenges the world is currently facing. We then agreed on spreading awareness and the impact of air pollution on human health. Ideally, people working as a group can accomplish more, and more productively, than one person can on their own. A huge percentage of the global population live in locations with high levels of fine particulate matter, a pollutant that can harm one's metabolism and cause cancer of the lungs (PM).
According to the Environmental Defense Fund, more than 6 million people die prematurely each year from heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disorders. More people have died from AIDS, TB, and malaria than have died from all three combined. Exposure to air pollution can have a negative influence on the health of children, the elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, and minority and low-income communities. One can only hypothesize about the circumstances surrounding this incident. Medical problems like asthma can be triggered when patients are exposed to high levels of air pollution that contain an excessive quantity of chemicals. If contaminants are present in the environment, they can only have long-term negative effects on healthy people.
Even in healthy people, long-term exposure to acidic gases has been associated with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As a result, emphysema, a condition in which breathing capacity is diminished and heart and respiratory rates are aggravated, is common. As a result of COPD complications, heart disease and diabetes might also be exacerbated. Over 100,000 Americans die each year because of COPD-related causes, making it imperative that we find a way to counteract the disease's impact on public health to free up limited medical resources so that they can be used to treat other illnesses.
The use of home telemedicine devices can help chronic disease sufferers better manage their health and reduce the likelihood of being hospitalized. Telemonitoring, which allows patients with COPD to communicate with caregivers over a secure internet connection, and air quality monitoring are two components of linked health in COPD patient monitoring. The patient's heart and respiration rates, as well as other vital indicators, are monitored and transmitted to an interface unit at home via a wireless local area network (WLAN). Because of the system's ease of deployment, it is possible to tailor the system to each patient's specific demands. Using air pollution data from monitoring places like kitchens and living rooms, diagnostics and ventilation regulation may be used to improve indoor air quality.
I strongly believe that improvements in telemedicine and portable air cleaners, together with increased HVAC filter efficiency and rate of ventilation, would provide a foundation for disease control and management.

Your Dream Music Scholarship
Not Afraid by Eminem. This track is premised on the artist ‘taking a stand’, as in confronting pressing issues head-on. And foremost amongst the resolutions he makes is a pledge to stay true to his musical profession. He is “married to the game”. He expresses this sentiment not only in terms of continuing to make music but also in songs that are a genuine reflection of who he is as an individual. He is “not afraid to take a stand”, as in he is not inclined to shy away from his controversial dispositions. And in that regard, he pledges his fans (like me) to always keep it real. Then the tone of the song shifts in the bridge and third verse. These parts of the song rather deal with Eminem’s well-known battles with drug addiction. So within the overall theme of the song, it is implied that Eminem tackling all of the mentioned matters head-on is requiring a considerable degree of bravery on his part. But perhaps more to the point, his courage is manifest in him being able to proclaim such personal feelings to the listening public. So on one hand “Not Afraid” is a rallying cry, with Eminem leading the charge towards people being bold in standing up for what they believe in, both in public and private. He is standing up for his beliefs. In doing so, he makes positive changes in his life and implores his listeners/fans to do the same.

I would also want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring.
For example, I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities. To bring inequality concerns to the public's notice, I arrange things like photo exhibits, public discussions, and local meetups. Additionally, I would want to ask residents in my neighborhood to attend and participate in a discussion. My allegiance is to my immediate surroundings. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.
SmartSolar Sustainability Scholarship
I can play a key part in reducing environmental consciousness by adopting a few simple
procedures that begin at home. The environment will be kept clean, green, and healthy by me. My
electrical equipment needs to be used less often. This is the most efficient way to save electricity. I
have the option of purchasing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient appliances. Switching
off the lights and appliances when they are not in use is one of the greatest methods to save energy.
I do not have to use hot water to wash my clothing in a washing machine. Instead of using an
electric device, I can attempt to heat the water with solar power. I am going to have to use
alternative modes of transportation instead of driving more often.
Reducing my reliance on wood-burning stoves in my home. My whole family's health is at risk
because of the extra smoke produced by wood burners. With energy-efficient equipment that
promises cheap expenses and speedy cooking, I can cook without having to spend a fortune.
Maintaining a healthy atmosphere. Ecosystems must be able to interact with green plants,
creatures, and animals in a healthy environment to function properly. For many years, these three
organisms have worked together to maintain the health and viability of the whole ecosystem.
Today, the whole environment is in jeopardy because of air global warming and global warming.
When I make a few simple lifestyle changes, I can help safeguard the whole world and its
environment more efficiently.
It is always a good idea to get rid of household chemicals and pesticides that contaminate the
natural environment. Instead, I will use distilled vinegar, lemon, and baking soda to produce my
cleaning solutions. Many ecologically friendly and conventional cleaning solutions, including
"green" ones, are available on the market. The reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Glass, plastics, aluminum, and paper may all be recycled rather than thrown away in the
trash. Burning these items will not result in any global warming of the air. It is also possible to
avoid the use of throwaway plastic or paper products by using reusable tubes and bags.
Maintaining a low environmental impact. There are several techniques to reduce the amount of
carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. By lowering the temperature of my water heater,
hand-washing dishes rather than using a dishwasher, turning down the thermostat on my air
conditioner or heater, and investing in energy-efficient lighting, I can reduce the amount of energy
I use and the amount of heat I generate. I eat local foods. The need for pesticides and preservatives
to make food safe is minimized when it is grown close to where it will be consumed. These
airborne preservatives are a direct source of global warming. Food that is preserved with dangerous
chemicals and pesticides that mess up the global ecosystem is not as safe as food that is preserved
naturally.
Reduced contamination. It is always a good idea to limit the use of hazardous and poisonous items
in my house. At home, the foundation for a healthy atmosphere is laid. In addition, I must ensure
that all rubbish is properly disposed of rather than just thrown in the bins. The avoidance of global
warming. It is best if I refrain from disposing of rubbish or waste products in and around my home.
Garbage, both biodegradable and non-biodegradable, must be disposed of properly and not left on
my property. Air and water global warming may be harmful to my health and the health of my
family and the environment.
Firstcard-Scholarship for Students
Understanding credit changed my life. Credit is the lifeblood of the modern economy. As a borrower, whether I am applying for a home mortgage, school loan funding, or just charging for lunch, I will need the services of a lender. I will also have to prove that I deserve that credit limit. It is my three-digit credit score that serves as the foundation of my financial well-being. Good credit might be the difference between being approved and being turned down for a mortgage, vehicle loan, or student loan. If I have bad credit, getting a credit card with a low-interest rate and borrowing money will be more costly. A strong credit score may have a significant influence even if I am not looking to borrow money. Credit information is routinely used as a litmus test by landlords, insurers, and employers to determine a person's dependability and responsibility.
I may be seen as a high-risk investment because of my poor credit. Having excellent credit has several advantages. Apartment complexes are more likely to rent me a place. The employment process may include a credit check if I am in the market for a new job. However, the financial advantages of excellent credit are the most important. There are many ways that having excellent credit makes my life simpler and more economical. Easier approval of credit. Banks and lenders are more likely to provide me with credit if I have a high credit score. Consequently, my chances of being approved for credit cards, loans, or mortgages are higher, and I may expect to hear back on my application sooner.
Borrowing fees. People with strong credit are frequently given reduced interest rates in addition to having better credit acceptance rates. In the long run, I can save a lot of money from lowered interest rates. Improving my credit score is therefore an excellent idea. Loans with better terms. Many lenders prefer to lend money to those who have a strong credit rating over those who do not. For example, I could be eligible for a lower-interest mortgage or a bigger credit limit on a credit card. I need to change my credit practices if I want an increase in my credit score. Invoices and payments. Because 35% of my credit score is based on my payment history, I make it a point to pay off all my credit cards on schedule, every time. A missed credit card payment may have long-lasting consequences on my credit score, particularly if I do not make up the amount as soon as possible.
Usage of credit; is a measure of how much of my credit limit is being used. If I want to have good credit, I will try to use no more than 30% of the credit I have available. For example, if I have $15,000 in credit available, I will avoid carrying balances on any of my credit cards that are more than $4,500. I will pay off my credit cards as quickly as possible if the debt on me surpasses 30%. My credit score will have fewer chances of being lowered by those large amounts. Length of credit history; lenders want to know that I have a track record of appropriately managing credit accounts. Because of this, closing outdated credit cards is a poor idea, even if I no longer use them. If I close my oldest credit accounts, I reduce my credit history, which is shown on my credit report. To develop credit, I would keep my credit cards active.

To me, being a Muslim means living by the will and pleasure of Allah. It means reading the Quran, believing in Allah’s mercy, praying, making dua, and giving charity. Reading Quran strengthens my connection with Almighty Allah. I read it with all my heart and soul. I read, pause reflects, and focus on the translation. I also focus on understanding what is written in the Holy book. Quran is the solution to one’s problems. It is filled with Baraka. Secondly, helping others creates feelings of peace and purpose. Not only does charity protects me from evil but it also has immense ajar and reward in this life and the hereafter. Islam is a complete code of conduct. Giving charity elevates my Iman and strengthens my faith. The relief associated with helping other people is remarkable. This selfless gesture ensures that the vulnerable needs and rights are met respectfully. It teaches the next generations about generosity, love, and care, fosters sustainability in society, and eradicates poverty.

Ms. Susy’s Disney Character Scholarship
Supa Strikas is a pan-African association football-themed comic, about the titular football team, dubbed the world’s greatest. Dancing Rasta is the Jamaican captain of Supa Strikas. He wears the number 9 jersey and is a seasoned mountaineer. He is very polite. Most fans believe he is the greatest captain in the Super League. He is very motivational. By learning from his leadership, I became the captain of the Boys' Varsity Soccer Team last summer. Before my team started, we went to train in Harrisburg. Our coaches helped us get to where we are now. We had practice four to six hours every day for two months before we started competitions. I would always make sure everyone showed up to practice to make the best out of it.
I must say, it was a lot. I encouraged my team to keep moving forward and working hard, despite under the scorching sun. I also took up the responsibility to train new teammates on the techniques and skills. I would never forget the drills, matches, weight rooms, suicide runs, long sprints, ice bath and all. We had to juggle school with it though, for it was a thrilling and tiresome experience. Then after the competitions started, we made the playoffs, after destroying all the teams, we made it to the semi-finals. We then entered the finals. I remember our last match which caught the attention of thousands of spectators. We played in Yellow Breeches. We won! finally after having only two wins in eight years, we shocked the districts.
So, after the season was over, I didn't want to give up everything I worked for because of the winter. I then joined the Sunday League, we play pickup games and have fun with other teams. We hit the weight room and play indoors frequently. Although the competitions would soon begin, the other teams think they have the upper hand because most of our players have either got injuries or graduated. But when we start recruiting, they will all pay after we destroy them. I do intend to go to college after with scholarships.
Dog Owner Scholarship
The unconditional affection of my dogs is what keeps me sane. The affection I get from my dog, a golden retriever, is unconditional in all its manifestations. There is no concern about whether I have a terrible hair day or aging. My memories of them will last a lifetime, even if they are not physically there. You can learn so much from your dogs since they are covered in fur, feathers, and hair. Some of the most valuable skills I have learned from them are compassion and self-control. As a result, they can teach me how to live, how to conquer my feelings of rage, how to have fun, and how to be faithful. These lessons have helped me become a better person in the long run. Having a dog makes it easier for me to meet new people.
An excellent way to meet new people is to walk my dogs or take them to a park. When I take shelter dogs to the dog park, I frequently find myself striking up conversations with the other dog owners. It is always a plus when I get to interact with their dogs. My social life may benefit from even "stay-at-home" dogs. Is there anybody who does not like gazing at animal pictures? I am more likely to take risks when my dogs accompany me. Whether they are large or tiny, they are magnets for adventure. Imagine all the exciting things one can do with a new dog from a rescue organization. The simple act of visiting my neighborhood café or going on a hike may be exhilarating, as camping. I do not need to join a gym since my dogs help me get in shape for the beach (exaggeration). They keep me on the go. Having a dog may benefit my health in a variety of ways, including waking up to feed, groom, or clean their environment in the mornings or afternoons. Getting off the sofa to feed a goldfish is enough to get me moving!
Mental Health Importance Scholarship
I am excited to be finally out of my comfort zone, exploring new cultures, learning from people, and sharing information. However, with enjoyment comes difficulties and challenges. The most important thing is to know how to persevere in difficult situations. I try to maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul amidst the challenges I face in school. In my spare time, I like to exercise and train people. More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's. The increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that occurs while exercising helps to decrease the development of illnesses associated with oxidative stress (Deslandes et al., 2009).
Inflammation is seen in every illness. Our body's capacity to eliminate inflammation is enhanced when we exercise regularly. Many benefits may be gained by those who exercise regularly. I begin by jogging a few miles a week and then gradually increase my training time. Excessive weightlifting or aerobic exercise may be harmful and impair the motivation to practice further. I will slowly and gradually raise my exercise level. Weight training and other forms of physical exercise have been shown to benefit mental health. It is also possible to boost levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to enhance cognitive functions such as memory and clarity of thought, as well as feelings of self-worth and self-confidence.
While antidepressants have negative effects, exercise has been found in studies to be just as beneficial in treating mild to moderate depression. According to research, following a regular exercise program may help avoid relapses in depression. For a variety of reasons, exercise is an effective weapon in the battle against depression. To me, the most essential thing is to stimulate all kinds of changes in the brain, including the formation of new nerves, the reduction of inflammation, and the development of new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being. Endorphins, a powerful brain chemical that lifts and improves mood, are also released. Finally, going for a run or walk allows me to take a break from the constant barrage of depressing thoughts that plague me.
Weightlifting is one of the few activities that consistently makes me feel good about myself. When I get up in the morning, I am more energized, I sleep better at night, I remember things better, and I have a more optimistic attitude towards life. A wide range of common mental health issues may be treated with it. Exercise may have a positive impact on depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is not necessary to be a fitness fanatic to get the rewards, either! Even running just a few laps a day may have a significant impact. Exercise may be a great tool for addressing mental health difficulties, increasing energy and optimism, and generally making the most of one's life, regardless of one's age or physical fitness level.

Weightlifting is one of the few activities that consistently makes me feel good about myself. When I get up in the morning, I am more energized, I sleep better at night, I remember things better, and I have a more optimistic attitude towards life. A wide range of common mental health issues may be treated with it. Exercise may have a positive impact on depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is not necessary to be a fitness fanatic to get the rewards, either! Even running just a few laps a day may have a significant impact. Exercise may be a great tool for addressing mental health difficulties, increasing energy and optimism, and generally making the most of one's life, regardless of one's age or physical fitness level.
Healthy Eating Scholarship
Those who are sedentary burn calories at a lower rate than those who are physically engaged. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), there is a clear link between inactivity and weight gain in both men and women. Consuming a diet heavy in simple sugars: Carbohydrates may or may not contribute to weight gain. Carbohydrates raise blood glucose levels, which in turn prompts the pancreas to produce insulin, which aids in fat storage and, thus, weight gain is a possibility. According to some researchers, simple carbohydrates (such as sugar and fruit juice concentrate) can lead to weight gain because they are absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly than complex carbohydrates (such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fresh fruits and vegetables), and thus cause a greater insulin release after meals. Some researchers say this increased insulin release may be a factor in weight gain.
Overeating, particularly if the diet is heavy in fat, causes weight gain. Fast food, fried foods, and sweets, for example, are rich in calories per unit of fat or sugar (a lot of calories in a small amount of food). There is strong evidence that a diet heavy in fat contributes to weight gain in epidemiological research. a person's eating habits There is significant debate concerning the link between eating frequency and weight gain. Many studies have shown that people who are obese eat less often than those who are healthy. According to scientific research, people who eat four or five little meals a day have lower cholesterol and/or more stable blood sugar levels than those who eat just once or twice a day, according to scientific research (two or three large meals daily).
Because insulin levels remain stable if individuals consume a lot of small meals, but insulin levels rise significantly after a large meal, this may be a contributing factor. If you are diabetic, there are things you can do to lower your risk of heart disease. Controlling your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, keeping your weight in a healthy range, and getting enough sleep are just some of the things you can do.
In my spare time, I like to exercise. More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's.
Inflammation is seen in every illness. Our body's capacity to eliminate inflammation is enhanced when you exercise on a regular basis. Many benefits may be gained by those who exercise regularly.

For a variety of reasons, exercise is an effective weapon in the battle against depression. To me, the most essential thing is to stimulate all kinds of changes in the brain, including the formation of new nerves, the reduction of inflammation, and the development of new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being.

Learner Math Lover Scholarship
I love math because it is applied in various fields and disciplines, i.e., mathematical concepts and procedures are used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics. (For example, the understanding of complex numbers is a prerequisite to learn many concepts in electronics.) The complexity of those problems often requires relatively sophisticated mathematical concepts and procedures when compared to the mathematical literacy aforementioned. Mathematics is a part of our human cultural heritage, and we have a responsibility to develop that heritage. Secondly, since mathematics provides foundational knowledge and skills for other school subjects, such as sciences, art, economy, etc., the issue of how mathematics is intertwined with other school subjects deserved to be addressed.
In some curricula, mathematics is offered independently to support the study of other school subjects as an ‘instrumental subject’, and in other curricula, integrated courses which combine mathematics and other fields are offered. Thirdly, we may wish to reflect on the number of hours (proportion of hours) and/or courses allocated to mathematics when compared to the other school subject in the curriculum of each country. In addition to this quantitative analysis, information about the qualitative description of school mathematics about other subjects also needs to be gathered. Although this comparison won’t show us the whole picture of why different countries attach the importance that they do to mathematics, the comparison may nonetheless provoke further discussion.
The greatest hurdle in the process of learning mathematics is a lack of practice. Students should daily work out at least 10 problems from different areas to master the concept and develop speed and accuracy in solving a problem. Learning multiplication tables should be encouraged in the lower classes. Another very effective means of spreading the knowledge of mathematics among children is through peer teaching. Moreover, in the process, all the children will be able to express their doubts on the topic and clear them through discussions in a group.
The present age is one of skill-development and innovations. The more mathematical we are in our approach, the more successful we will be. Mathematics offers rationality to our thoughts. It is a tool in our hands to make our life simpler and easier. Let us realize and appreciate the beauty of the subject and embrace it with all our hearts. It is a talent that should be compulsorily honed by all in every walk of life.
Lifelong Learning Scholarship
This scholarship would help ease my financial burden, as my mom is a single parent, and she is currently battling cancer. This has really taken a toll on me. I do all the chores in the house because one of my siblings is in college and the other is in middle school. What I do involves putting away everyone’s belongings; doing the laundry; folding and putting away clean clothes; vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting; setting the table, clearing the table, washing, and putting away the dishes and other house chores. I have spent six hours each day for the past eight years trying to fulfill these chores before I graduate. My brother and I have also been working three jobs each so that we can pay our mother’s medical bills.
As a West African, I have faced many challenges, which include epileptic power supply, bad water supply, and high rates of poverty. I persisted for fourteen years before moving to the United States. I aspire to be a senior chemical engineer someday. I am passionate about hard work, sports, and volunteering. Through my perseverance and hardship, I have become an ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individual who is driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful and important goals. I have attained a 3.95 GPA, an SAT score of 1570, 4000 community service hours, and a strong mathematical background, along with a thorough understanding of science subjects. I see giving back to the community as an integral part of one's life.
After graduation, I intend to study chemical engineering. I need to go to college because I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
I chose this field because I have always had a flair for STEM and solving problems that make the world a better place. I am a strong advocate. Through my mother’s teachings, I learned how to care for the wider community.

I am now working with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg, and I have completed 4000 hours of community service. I learned that I could develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice.
I plan to use my education to explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also of the global community. Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. Among the services we offer are financial literacy education, and home buying. We also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.

American Dream Scholarship
The aspirations of the American dream and the brutal realities of American life are incompatible. The proclaimed vision of freedom and equality for all people has yet to be realized. The great depression's economic devastation shattered American cultural identity, which had been constructed on the promise of upward mobility. Basically the capacity to ascend from the lower and middle classes, and increase opportunity for people from all walks of life. America has gone astray and must reclaim its former splendor. This romantic view of American culture does not resonate with me. In the past, the American dream was never realized. Although American civilization has fallen short of the ideals upon which it was founded. In this nation of the free, neither equality nor freedom has ever existed in the United States of America. Rather, it has perpetuated the same oppressive and exploitative structures as the nations that came before it.
Although the dream is nearly dead, there is still hope that American society will live up to its potential in the years ahead. However, the American dream will perish if exploitative labor and selfishness continue to reign supreme. The worker who never rises the social ladder exemplifies how exploitation runs counter to the American dream promise, that anyone willing to work hard may succeed and make a better life for themselves. Instead, the poor are more likely to stay poor as they are seen as a disposable currency that can be bartered or swapped indefinitely between different employers. This system, which treats workers as objects rather than people, has prevented the American dream from becoming a reality. We must reclaim our home, America, from those who live like leeches on the lives of others. I urge oppressed communities to rise and reimagine America in the spirit of liberty and equality for everyone. It will be America again.
It is not too late for the United States of America to realize its foundational principles. With my college degree, I intend to embrace the American dream promise and reaffirm its central position in American culture. I intend to volunteer for an organization that promotes peace. I would cultivate close ties with this group and encourage widespread engagement. Our goal would be to use existing talents and resources to solve complicated problems and help individuals, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty. This would include budgeting, homeownership, parenting, and financial literacy instruction. All of this would be part of our programming: early learning, child and youth development, and long-term case management.
I believe community planning and redevelopment are important priorities. This organization would teach me a lot and allow me to make people happy. My goal would be that all would live in an impoverished community. We would utilize an outcome-based strategy to foster self-sufficiency, family stability, and community revitalization. I would be delighted to talk about my issues with others. Other opinions and ideas would be welcome. We would create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in the community.

I see, giving back to the community as an integral part of one's life. I hope to pursue higher education and get a degree in Chemical engineering, so that I can provide solutions to global challenges facing the world. I am very enthusiastic about higher education. Not many are aware of the emphasis placed on it. We face new things in higher education with no fear, which makes us more confident in our abilities. It is the driving force behind the prosperity of individuals and nations around the world (Hon. Margarett Best, 2020). As a result, earning a bachelor's degree is seen as the foundation for all future achievements. Everyone's future success and growth are heavily reliant on their ability to complete a high-quality higher education.
The development of a person's character and sense of self-worth is aided by receiving a quality higher education. It has a significant impact on the course of one's life (Kosior E. & Reich A., 2018). Because of our education, we are better prepared for a rewarding career. A wide range of employment opportunities is available to us (Baumol et al., n.d.). It increases the chances of finding a better and more convenient job (Alvarez J, 2020). The more educated we are, the more likely we are to find success in our personal and professional lives (Bilia R, 2022). It is impossible to overstate the importance of acquiring higher education. I believe human beings should have the opportunity to further their education. It elevates our social status. Those who have completed higher education are regarded as knowledgeable members of society (Hayes G, 2017). With my college degree, I would be able to pass on my knowledge of morals, etiquette, and ethics to others.
Mind, Body, & Soul Scholarship
I am excited to be finally out of my comfort zone, exploring new cultures, learning from people, and sharing information. However, with enjoyment comes difficulties and challenges. The most important thing is to know how to persevere in difficult situations. I try to maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul amidst the challenges I face in school. In my spare time, I like to exercise and train people. More individuals would have flocked to their neighborhood gym if they were aware that exercise may help avoid neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's. The increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that occurs while exercising helps to decrease the development of illnesses associated with oxidative stress (Deslandes et al., 2009).
Inflammation is seen in every illness. Our body's capacity to eliminate inflammation is enhanced when we exercise regularly. Many benefits may be gained by those who exercise regularly. I begin by jogging a few miles a week and then gradually increase my training time. Excessive weightlifting or aerobic exercise may be harmful and impair the motivation to practice further. I will slowly and gradually raise my exercise level. Weight training and other forms of physical exercise have been shown to benefit mental health. It is also possible to boost levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to enhance cognitive functions such as memory and clarity of thought, as well as feelings of self-worth and self-confidence.
While antidepressants have negative effects, exercise has been found in studies to be just as beneficial in treating mild to moderate depression. According to research, following a regular exercise program may help avoid relapses in depression. For a variety of reasons, exercise is an effective weapon in the battle against depression. To me, the most essential thing is to stimulate all kinds of changes in the brain, including the formation of new nerves, the reduction of inflammation, and the development of new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being. Endorphins, a powerful brain chemical that lifts and improves mood, are also released. Finally, going for a run or walk allows me to take a break from the constant barrage of depressing thoughts that plague me.
Weightlifting is one of the few activities that consistently makes me feel good about myself. When I get up in the morning, I am more energized, I sleep better at night, I remember things better, and I have a more optimistic attitude towards life. A wide range of common mental health issues may be treated with it. Exercise may have a positive impact on depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is not necessary to be a fitness fanatic to get the rewards, either! Even running just a few laps a day may have a significant impact. Exercise may be a great tool for addressing mental health difficulties, increasing energy and optimism, and generally making the most of one's life, regardless of one's age or physical fitness level.
Living Well Scholarship
To keep infectious illnesses at bay and children healthy for their whole lives, parents and
caregivers must practice good personal hygiene. It also keeps students from skipping school, which
has a positive impact on their education. Families may save money on health care costs by
practicing excellent hygiene. A family's social position and self-confidence may also be secured
settings via its use. Personal hygiene refers to how you treat your own body. Inadequate personal
hygiene may lead to a variety of health problems, including the transmission of disease. Increasing
self-esteem and improving interpersonal ties are other favorable outcomes. I believe clean living is important because it helps to prevent the transmission of germs from one person to another.
My personal hygiene and the transmission of illness may both be improved by regularly washing my hands. A good rule of thumb I follow is washing my hands many times during the day. This is particularly important if I have just finished doing anything like putting out the trash or going to the bathroom. When washing my hands, I make sure I am doing it correctly to get the benefits. Bathe or shower. While older people do not need to bathe every day, it is advised that they do so at least twice a week in the shower or bathtub. Cleaning the body is a prophylactic strategy to decrease the transmission of illness, much like washing my hands.
To look my best, I always wear clean clothing. When I am done wearing my clothes, I throw them in the washing machine and dry them as soon as I can. Body odor and skin infections may both be caused by germs that can be found in dirty clothing. Keeping my mouth clean is essential when it comes to maintaining good personal hygiene. I brush and floss my teeth at least once a day, preferably in the morning and at night. Maintaining regular dental checkups is also a good rule of thumb. A good night's sleep is crucial to our general health and well-being. Adults are advised to obtain at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
Establish a schedule: It is ideal to have a regular schedule for taking care of my hygiene. I will be able to keep track of what I need to do each day to keep myself clean and healthy and ensure that I’m adhering to good personal hygiene practices. Shaving is another way to ensure proper hygiene. Shaving has many benefits that go far beyond making people look and feel Inger and cleaner. It is an effective method for removing dead cells from the skin. In addition to removing facial hair, razors are effective tools for exfoliating the top layer of skin, which results in the removal of a very fine layer of dead skin cells. If I follow a proper shaving routine, I will not only see a rejuvenation in my face, but I will also experience an increase in energy and vitality because of this.

I begin by jogging a few miles a week and then gradually increase my training time.
Excessive weightlifting or aerobic exercise may be harmful and impair the motivation to practice further. I will slowly and gradually raise my exercise level. Weight training and other forms of physical exercise have been shown to benefit mental health. It is also possible to boost levels of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which has been shown to enhance cognitive functions such as memory and clarity of thought, as well as feelings of self-worth and self-confidence. While antidepressants have negative effects, exercise has been found in studies to be just as beneficial in treating mild to moderate depression.
According to research, following a regular exercise program may help avoid relapses in depression. For a variety of reasons, exercise is an effective weapon in the battle against depression. To me, the most essential thing is to stimulate all kinds of changes in the brain, including the formation of new nerves, the reduction of inflammation, and the development of new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being. Endorphins, a powerful brain chemical that lifts and improves mood, are also released. Finally, going for a run or walk allows me to take a break from the constant barrage of depressing thoughts that plague me.
Weightlifting is one of the few activities that consistently makes me feel good about myself.
When I get up in the morning, I am more energized, I sleep better at night, I remember things better, and I have a more optimistic attitude towards life. A wide range of common mental health issues may be treated with it. Exercise may have a positive impact on depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is not necessary to be a fitness fanatic to get the rewards, either! Even running just a few laps a day may have a significant impact. Exercise may be a great tool for addressing mental health difficulties, increasing energy and optimism, and generally making the most of one's life, regardless of one's age or physical fitness level. Muscle and fat loss are unavoidable with weight loss, but the degree to which they occur is dependent on a variety of circumstances.
If you do not move around much and eat fewer calories, you are more likely to lose muscle mass and your metabolism will slow down. As a result, exercise may help you maintain your lean mass, enhance fat loss, and keep your metabolism from slowing down. Losing weight and keeping it off is simpler when you have a reduced body mass. In the same way, over-exercising may lead to health issues as well. In the long run, excessive exercise is unsustainable for most individuals and might cause stress, according to research. As a result, endocrine hormones, which govern bodily activities such as metabolism, may be adversely affected. Exercising excessively to burn calories is neither productive nor healthful. However, regular weightlifting and aerobic workouts might help you maintain a healthy metabolic rate while losing weight.
International Student Scholarship
This scholarship would help ease my financial burden for the fall semester of either York College of Pennsylvania or Penn State Berks, as my mom is a single parent, and she is currently battling cancer. This has really taken a toll on me. I do all the chores in the house because one of my siblings is in college and the other is in middle school. What I do involves putting away everyone’s belongings; doing the laundry; folding and putting away clean clothes; vacuuming, sweeping, and dusting; setting the table, clearing the table, washing, and putting away the dishes; feeding and walking the family pet; cleaning the birdcages and litter boxes; mopping floors; scrubbing the sink, toilet, bathtub, and shower stall; cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner; doing yard work; and washing the family car. I have spent six hours each day for the past eight years trying to fulfill these chores before I graduate.
As a West African, I have faced many challenges, which include epileptic power supply, bad water supply, and high rates of poverty. I persisted for fourteen years before moving to the United States. I aspire to be a senior chemical engineer someday. I am passionate about hard work, sports, and volunteering. Through my perseverance and hardship, I have become an ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individual who is driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful and important goals. I have attained a 3.95 GPA, an SAT score of 1570, 4000 community service hours, and a strong mathematical background, along with a thorough understanding of science subjects.
After graduation, I intend to study chemical engineering. I need to go to college because I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
I chose this field because I have always had a flair for chemistry and solving problems that make the world a better place. I am a strong advocate. Through my mother’s teachings, I learned how to care for the wider community. The fundamental necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, are hard to come by in my area because of corruption and embezzlement. I then worked with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg for a total of 4000 hours of community service. I learned that I could develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice.
I plan to use my education explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also of the global community. Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty. An outcome-based strategy gets rid of poverty by helping people become self-reliant, keep their families together, and revitalize their communities. Having worked with local charities and civil society groups, more people benefited from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.

Wired Engineering Scholarship
I aspire to become a senior chemical engineer someday. I want to figure out how to
reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from and provide
good healthcare to sick patients. I also want to design and improve the development processes of
these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food
quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution,
working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that
make clothing more sustainable. I have also written and sent several public messages to spread
indoor and outdoor pollution awareness to families and communities.
According to the Environmental Defense Fund, more than 6 million people die prematurely each year from heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disorders. More people have died from AIDS, TB, and malaria than have died from all three combined. Exposure to air pollution can have a negative influence on the health of children, the elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, and minority and low-income communities. One can only hypothesize about the circumstances surrounding this incident. Medical problems like asthma can be triggered when patients are exposed to high levels of air pollution that contain an excessive quantity of chemicals. If contaminants are present in the environment, they can only have long-term negative effects on healthy people.
Even in healthy people, long-term exposure to acidic gases has been associated with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As a result, emphysema, a condition in which breathing capacity is diminished and heart and respiratory rates are aggravated, is common. As a result of COPD complications, heart disease and diabetes might also be exacerbated. Over 100,000 Americans die each year because of COPD-related causes, making it imperative that we find a way to counteract the disease's impact on public health to free up limited medical resources so that they can be used to treat other illnesses.
The use of home telemedicine devices can help chronic disease sufferers better manage their health and reduce the likelihood of being hospitalized. Telemonitoring, which allows patients with COPD to communicate with caregivers over a secure internet connection, and air quality monitoring are two components of linked health in COPD patient monitoring. The patient's heart and respiration rates, as well as other vital indicators, are monitored and transmitted to an interface unit at home via a wireless local area network (WLAN). Because of the system's ease of deployment, it is possible to tailor the system to each patient's specific demands. Using air pollution data from monitoring places like kitchens and living rooms, diagnostics and ventilation regulation may be used to improve indoor air quality.
I strongly believe that improvements in telemedicine and portable air cleaners, together with increased HVAC filter efficiency and rate of ventilation, would provide a foundation for disease control and management.
Greg Lockwood Scholarship
I hope to eradicate world poverty someday. I would develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service would make me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice. I would become an ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individual who would be driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful and important goals. I would explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also of the global community. I see giving back to the community as an integral part of one’s life. I would volunteer in an organization that uses the strengths and resources to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty. Among the services we would offer would be financial literacy education, budgeting, purchasing a home, and parenting.
We would also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I would learn a lot from this organization, and it would allow me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim would be for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty.

I am a kind and open person that is eager to resolve anyone’s issue. That said, I would be always open to hearing their thoughts. Every member of the organization would always be there to help the volunteers, including myself. When we work together as a group, we would have a warm and welcoming environment where everyone's contributions would be important. I would also attend and participate in community events. My voice would be heard when problems of equality and prejudice are discussed or brought into the conversation. If we are going to make good decisions, we need to make sure that we are considering human rights.
I would also want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring. For example, I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities. To bring inequality concerns to the public's notice, I arrange things like photo exhibits, public discussions, and local meetups. Additionally, I would want to ask residents in my neighborhood to attend and participate in a discussion. My allegiance is to my immediate surroundings. Asylum seekers, refugees, and those with low or no income are all examples of people who live on the margins of society in my neighborhood, so I would offer my services to a local homeless shelter or asylum center.
I would want to start a community newsletter that looks at local concerns from the perspective of human rights. I am a supporter of the local community and its organizations. By working with local charities and civil society groups, more people can benefit from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.

Students for Animal Advocacy Scholarship
Animals provide me with unconditional love. Golden retriever love comes in different forms and the love I receive from my pet is unconditional. They do not care if I am having a bad hair day or showing signs of aging. They might not be there for the rest of my life, but they will forever leave a mark on my heart. Animals are furry, hairy, feathery teachers. They teach me many lessons, including responsibility and compassion. They can also show me how to live in the moment, how to overcome anger, how to play, how to be loyal, and how to love openly and fully. Ultimately, these lessons help me to be a better person.
Animals help me meet new people. Walking my dogs or taking them to a park is a great way to strike up conversations with other people. I walk shelter dogs sometimes, and when I take them to the dog park, I often end up chatting with the other dog owners. Plus, I get to play with their dogs too, which is always a bonus! Even ‘stay at home’ animals can help with my social life. Having a pet is a great icebreaker, and who does not love looking at animal photos?
Animals encourage me to go boldly into the adventure. They are magnets for adventures, big and small. Imagine all the fun things one can do with a new furry friend from the shelter. Camping, hiking, dog beaches, or simply going to my local café can be exciting.
Animals help me get a beach body without a gym. They keep me active. Whether it is a morning or an afternoon walk, or simply getting up to feed them, groom them, or clean their habitat, having a pet can improve my health. Even a goldfish can encourage me to get off the couch to feed him.
While few laws currently exist in the UK or US that recognize or protect animals' rights to enjoy lives free from human interference, the following is a list of examples of animal rights that could one day be enacted:
Animals may not be used for food.
Animals may not be hunted.
The habitats of animals must be protected to allow them to live according to their choosing.
Animals may not be bred. (THL, 2021)
Curtis Holloway Memorial Scholarship
My mother is an inspiration to me. As far as abilities and duties go, she is a standout performer. She is motivated and results-oriented and can work alone with minimal supervision or guidance. Ambitious, focused, and disciplined, she is motivated by a deep desire to achieve significant objectives in her life. As a result of her natural leadership abilities, she is often called upon to assist her coworkers in achieving their objectives. She is very self-disciplined and focused on the long term. She enjoys setting a goal and then working tirelessly to achieve it until it is achieved. She has a strong sense of self-determination. For her, the individuals she spends time with are mostly responsible for her future. As a result, I've learned patience from her.
Becoming more patient has allowed me to connect with people, which has been enjoyable on its own. The fact that I'm not behaving out of conceit or a desire to be recognized lessens the blow to my inflated self-esteem. A lack of impatience allows me to make decisions based on what I want instead of what I think I should want. Instead of focusing on how the other person will make me feel, I may concentrate on how the connection will make them feel. It's easy to spread. I want to be around individuals who are kind, caring, and generous. In the end, these individuals make the world a better place because of what they do.
Through her teachings, I learned how to care for the wider community. The fundamental necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, are hard to come by in my area. I then worked with Tri-County Community Action and Harrisburg's Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg for a total of 2000 hours of community service. People, families, and whole communities may escape the cycle of poverty by harnessing their skills and resources. Financial literacy instruction, budgeting, acquiring property, and parenting are just some of the services we provide. Children and teenagers, long-term case management, community planning, and regeneration are also supported by our services. My time with this organization has taught me a great deal, and I've been able to brighten the lives of many others. Finally, my goal is to create a community where no one is poor.
To eradicate poverty, an outcome-based approach must be used to promote self-sufficiency, family stability, and community revitalization. We have helped a lot of folks gain the education and skills they need to get employment that pays enough to support their families. Hundreds of first-time homebuyers have signed up for our educational and utility assistance programs. New TCCA volunteers may count on me to treat them with the greatest consideration and consideration for their time, effort, and personal information. However, I am open to hearing their opinions at any time. Volunteers are always welcome at the TCCA, including me. We are a welcoming group of people that cherish each other's contributions. I'm hoping to go to college on scholarships.

North Carolina Youth Equine Service Scholarship
I have acquired 2000 hours of community service over the past few months. I learned that I can develop skills in leadership, communication, working well with a team, and finding solutions to problems. Community service makes me more aware of and interested in issues of social justice. I have become an ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individual who is driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful and important goals. I explore and achieve, not only for the betterment of myself but also for the global community. I see giving back to the community as an integral part of one’s life. I have volunteered with Tri-County Community Action and Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg.
Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. Among the services we offer are financial literacy education, budgeting, purchasing a home, and parenting. We also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood free from poverty.
Poverty is eliminated by promoting self-reliance, family stability, and community revival through an outcome-based strategy. We have helped 23 people get the education and training they need to land jobs that pay enough to support their families. Hundreds of first-time homebuyers have registered for our utility assistance and education programs. I treat new TCCA volunteers with the utmost respect for their time, effort, and privacy. I am a kind and open person that is eager to resolve anyone’s issue. That said, I am always open to hearing their thoughts. Every member of the TCCA staff is always there to help the volunteers, including myself. When we work together as a group, we have a warm and welcoming environment where everyone's contributions are important.
I also attend and participate in community events. My voice is heard when problems of equality and prejudice are discussed or brought into the conversation. If we are going to make good decisions, we need to make sure that we are considering human rights. I would want to engage with immigrant and refugee children and adults in my neighborhood by leading a session on equality and providing one-on-one tutoring. For example, I would help with simple tasks like filling out paperwork, taking public transportation, and visiting medical facilities. To bring inequality concerns to the public's notice, I arrange things like photo exhibits, public discussions, and local meet-ups.
Additionally, I would want to ask residents in my neighborhood to attend and participate in a discussion. My allegiance is to my immediate surroundings. Asylum seekers, refugees, and those with low or no income are all examples of people who live on the margins of society in my neighborhood, so I would offer my services to a local homeless shelter or asylum center. From my perspective, I would want to start a community newsletter that looks at local concerns from the perspective of human rights. I am a supporter of the local community and its organizations. By working with local charities and civil society groups, more people can benefit from my efforts to fight discrimination in my neighborhood.
Future Leaders in Technology Scholarship - High School Award
Chemical technology. I need to go to college because I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
A friend and I wrote essays as a form of communication to the masses to spread the awareness of and impact of air pollution on human health. We wanted to stop the spread of this menace as it is currently one of the global challenges affecting the world's population. We started by exposing ourselves to valuable ideas. Then, we decided to search for global challenges the world is currently facing. We then agreed on spreading awareness and the impact of air pollution on human health. Ideally, people working as a group can accomplish more, and more productively, than one person can on their own. A huge percentage of the global population live in locations with high levels of fine particulate matter, a pollutant that can harm one's metabolism and cause cancer of the lungs (PM).
According to the Environmental Defense Fund, more than 6 million people die prematurely each year from heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disorders. More people have died from AIDS, TB, and malaria than have died from all three combined. Exposure to air pollution can have a negative influence on the health of children, the elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, and minority and low-income communities. One can only hypothesize about the circumstances surrounding this incident. Medical problems like asthma can be triggered when patients are exposed to high levels of air pollution that contain an excessive quantity of chemicals. If contaminants are present in the environment, they can only have long-term negative effects on healthy people.
Even in healthy people, long-term exposure to acidic gases has been associated with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As a result, emphysema, a condition in which breathing capacity is diminished and heart and respiratory rates are aggravated, is common. As a result of COPD complications, heart disease and diabetes might also be exacerbated. Over 100,000 Americans die each year because of COPD-related causes, making it imperative that we find a way to counteract the disease's impact on public health to free up limited medical resources so that they can be used to treat other illnesses.
The use of home telemedicine devices can help chronic disease sufferers better manage their health and reduce the likelihood of being hospitalized. Telemonitoring, which allows patients with COPD to communicate with caregivers over a secure internet connection, and air quality monitoring are two components of linked health in COPD patient monitoring. The patient's heart and respiration rates, as well as other vital indicators, are monitored and transmitted to an interface unit at home via a wireless local area network (WLAN). Because of the system's ease of deployment, it is possible to tailor the system to each patient's specific demands. Using air pollution data from monitoring places like kitchens and living rooms, diagnostics and ventilation regulation may be used to improve indoor air quality.
I strongly believe that improvements in telemedicine and portable air cleaners, together with increased HVAC filter efficiency and rate of ventilation, would provide a foundation for disease control and management.
Pet Lover Scholarship
The unconditional affection of my pets is what keeps me sane. The affection I get from my pet, a golden retriever, is unconditional in all its manifestations. There is no concern about whether or not I have a terrible hair day or aging. My memories of them will last a lifetime, even if they are not physically there. You can learn so much from your pets since they are covered in fur, feathers, and hair. Some of the most valuable skills I have learned from them are compassion and self-control. As a result, they can teach me how to live, how to conquer my feelings of rage, how to have fun, and how to be faithful. These lessons have helped me become a better person in the long run.
Having a pet makes it easier for me to meet new people. An excellent way to meet new people is to walk my dogs or take them to a park. When I take shelter dogs to the dog park, I frequently find myself striking up conversations with the other dog owners. It is always a plus when I get to interact with their pets. My social life may benefit from even "stay-at-home" dogs. Is there anybody who does not like gazing at animal pictures? I am more likely to take risks when my pets accompany me. Whether they are large or tiny, they are magnets for adventure. Imagine all the exciting things one can do with a new pet from a rescue organization. The simple act of visiting my neighborhood café or going on a hike may be exhilarating, as camping.
I do not need to join a gym since my pets help me get in shape for the beach. They keep me on the go. Having a pet may benefit my health in a variety of ways, including waking up to feed, groom, or clean their environment in the mornings or afternoons. Getting off the sofa to feed a goldfish is enough to get me moving!

The aspirations of the American dream and the brutal realities of American life are incompatible. The proclaimed vision of freedom and equality for all people is yet to be realized. The great depression's economic devastation shattered American cultural identity, which had been constructed on the promise of upward mobility. The capacity to ascend from the lower and middle classes, and increase opportunity for people from all walks of life. America has gone astray and must reclaim its former splendor. This romantic view of American culture does not resonate with me. In the past, the American dream was never realized. Although American civilization has fallen short of the ideals upon which it was founded. In this nation of the free, neither equality nor freedom has ever existed in the United States of America. Rather, it has perpetuated the same oppressive and exploitative structures as the nations that came before it.
Although the dream is nearly dead, there is still hope that American society will live up to its potential in the years ahead. However, the American dream will perish if exploitative labor and selfishness continue to reign supreme. The worker who never rises the social ladder exemplifies how exploitation runs counter to the American dream promise, that anyone willing to work hard may succeed and make a better life for themselves. Instead, the poor are more likely to stay poor as they are seen as a disposable currency that can be bartered or swapped indefinitely between different employers. This system, which treats workers as objects rather than people, has prevented the American dream from becoming a reality. We must reclaim our home, America, from those who live like leeches on the lives of others. I urge oppressed communities to rise and reimagine America in the spirit of liberty and equality for everyone. It will be America again.
It is not too late for the United States of America to realize its foundational principles. With my college degree, I intend to embrace the American dream promise and reaffirm its central position in American culture. I intend to volunteer for an organization that promotes peace. I would cultivate close ties with this group and encourage widespread engagement. Our goal would be to use existing talents and resources to solve complicated problems and help individuals, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty. This would include budgeting, homeownership, parenting, and financial literacy instruction. All of this would be part of our programming: early learning, child and youth development, and long-term case management.
I believe community planning and redevelopment are important priorities. This organization would teach me a lot and allow me to make people happy. My goal would be that all would live in an impoverished community. We would utilize an outcome-based strategy to foster self-sufficiency, family stability, and community revitalization. I would be delighted to talk about my issues with others. Other opinions and ideas would be welcome. We would create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in the community.

I intend to study chemical engineering. I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, working to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or developing fibers that make clothing more sustainable. Chemical engineers have discovered important radioisotopes. I have written and sent several public messages to spread indoor and outdoor pollution awareness to families and communities.
I am very enthusiastic about college. I face new things in college with no fear, which makes me more confident in my abilities. It is the driving force behind the prosperity of individuals and nations around the world. As a result, earning a bachelor's degree is seen as the foundation for all future achievements. My future growth and success depend heavily on my ability to complete a quality college degree. The development of my character and sense of self-worth is aided by attending a quality university. It has had a significant impact on the course of my life. Because of my education in college, I am better prepared for a rewarding career. I want to go to college to become a senior chemical engineer.
I see giving back to the community as an integral part of one's life. My biggest strength is volunteering. Where I live, people have difficulty meeting their most fundamental human needs, such as food, water, clothing, and shelter. I then volunteered for an organization that helps establish peace in my community. I have volunteered with Tri-County Community Action and Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg. As a group, our goal is to help people, their families, and their communities break out of the cycle of poverty by using the strengths and resources we already have.
Among the services we offer are financial literacy education, budgeting, purchasing a home, and parenting.

To me, being a Muslim means living by the will and pleasure of Allah. It means reading the Quran, believing in Allah’s mercy, praying, making dua, and giving charity. Reading Quran strengthens my connection with Almighty Allah. I read it with all my heart and soul. I read, pause reflects, and focus on the translation. I also focus on understanding what is written in the Holy book. Quran is the solution to one’s problems. It is filled with Baraka. Secondly, helping others creates feelings of peace and purpose. Not only does charity protects me from evil but it also has immense ajar and reward in this life and the hereafter. Islam is a complete code of conduct. Giving charity elevates my Iman and strengthens my faith. The relief associated with helping other people is remarkable. This selfless gesture ensures that the vulnerable needs and rights are met respectfully. It teaches the next generations about generosity, love, and care, fosters sustainability in society, and eradicates poverty.

Exercise is my hobby. If more people learn that exercise helps prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, more people will run to their local gym. Exercise helps reduce the incidence of diseases related to oxidative stress by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Deslandes et al., 2009). All diseases are associated with inflammation. Regular exercise increases your body's ability to reduce this inflammation. It may help slow the aging process in older people. I start small and slowly and consistently expand my exercise practice. Excessive weight training or aerobic exercise can be detrimental and reduce the desire to keep practicing. It is recommended to increase the activity level slowly and steadily. No one turns into a rock overnight. Mental health improves through physical fitness, increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which improves memory, clarity of thought, self-esteem, improved sleep, increased energy, resilience, and neurotransmission. Studies have shown that exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressants, but, of course, without side effects.
For example, Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running for 15 minutes or walking for an hour a day reduced the risk of major depression by 26%. Research shows that, in addition to relieving symptoms of depression, following an exercise schedule can help prevent relapses. Exercise is a powerful tool in the fight against depression for several reasons. Most importantly, I want to encourage all kinds of changes in my brain, such as nerve growth, reduced inflammation, and new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being within me. Endorphins, a powerful chemical in the brain that helps to elevate and improve mood, are also released. Finally, exercise can also give you time to break free from the vicious cycle of negative thoughts that distract and promote depression. I try to exercise regularly because it gives me a great sense of well-being. I feel more energetic during the day, sleep better at night, have clearer memories, feel more relaxed, and have a positive outlook on my life and myself. It is an effective drug for many common mental health problems.
Regular exercise can have a very positive effect on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also reduces my stress, improves my memory, helps me sleep better, and improves my overall mood. In addition, you do not have to be a fitness enthusiast to enjoy the benefits. Studies show that moderate amounts of exercise can make a real difference. Regardless of my age or physical level, I can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to address mental health issues, improve my energy and outlook, and make the most of life. I do not need to spend hours of my busy day working out in the gym, breaking out in bucket sweats, or running mile after mile to reap the full benefits of mental and physical health. Moderate exercise for about 30 minutes, 5 times a week is sufficient.

I spend Saturdays or Sundays picking up litter at nearby forest preserves and parks. I attend the annual facelift hosted by Yosemite National Park along with the Yosemite Climbing Association to clean up trash, litter, and debris from around the park following the busy summer season. I'm making it a fundraiser for the animal welfare institute. I collect cash donations to get in on the action by contributing gift cards or products to be auctioned off. I like spreading joy in the community where I live. People have difficulty meeting their most fundamental human needs, such as food, water, clothing, and shelter. I then volunteered for an organization that helps establish peace in my community. I have been engaged in Tri-County Community Action of Harrisburg and Recycle Bicycle for a total of 973 hours. I have built long relationships with this organization and have encouraged popular participation by vendors. Our mission is to leverage available strengths and resources to provide solutions to complex problems and enable individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty. This organization has taught me so much and has made me smile on people's faces. My goal is that we all live in an impoverished community.
We use an outcome-based approach to help people become more self-sufficient, keep their families together, and improve their communities. We have provided scholarships and support for 23 adults for skills and training in jobs that pay family-sustaining wages. When new volunteers come to TCCA, I respect their commitment to time and confidentiality. I am very welcoming and willing to address concerns. I am open to their suggestions and ideas, which they might put forward. The volunteers, including myself, have ongoing support from everyone on the TCCA staff. We have an inclusive and welcoming culture in the community and provide recognition and appreciation for one another's work and volunteerism. I intend to go to college with scholarships. I attend community meetings. I take the floor when issues that concern equality and discrimination are discussed or brought into the discussion. I believe adding a human rights perspective to the decision-making process is a crucial task. I would want to teach children and adults by running a workshop on equality for community members and tutoring immigrant children or refugees in my community.
I assist with basic tasks such as filling out forms, taking public transportation, or visiting health care facilities. I organize events like photo exhibitions, public debates, or local meet-ups to draw attention to inequality issues. I also invite members of my local community to attend and engage in a dialogue. I support my neighborhood and the people in it that live on the edges of society. In addition, I will visit a local homeless shelter or asylum center and offer my help. I plan to create a community newsletter offering a human rights perspective on issues that are happening in our community. I will support local organizations by joining forces with local charities and civil society organizations to tackle discrimination in my community.

I have overcome hardships and challenges, considering I am from West Africa. The Nigerian energy supply crisis refers to the ongoing failure of the Nigerian power sector to provide adequate electricity supply to domestic households and industrial producers despite a rapidly growing economy, some of the world's largest deposits of coal, oil, and gas, and the country's status as Africa's largest oil producer. Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and are almost nonexistent in certain regions. At best, the average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load-shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lockdowns to aid fair distribution and predictability.
Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues, and has been ongoing for decades. Most Nigerian businesses and households that can afford to do so run one or more diesel-fueled generators to supplement the intermittent supply. Since 2005, Nigerian power reforms have focused on privatizing the generator and distribution assets and encouraging private investment in the power sector. The government continues to control transmission assets whilst making "modest progress" in creating a regulatory environment attractive to foreign investors. Minor increases in average daily power supply have been reported. We then moved to the United States hoping to get a better life.
I then volunteered in the Tri-County Community Action and Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg.

I stay positive. It is important to try to have a positive outlook; some ways I do that include finding a balance between positive and negative emotions. Staying positive does not mean that I never feel negative emotions, such as sadness or anger. I need to feel them so that I can move through difficult situations. They can help me to respond to a problem. But I don't want those emotions to take over. For example, it is not helpful to keep thinking about bad things that happened in the past or worry too much about the future. Trying to hold on to the positive emotions when I have them; taking a break from negative information. Knowing when to stop watching or reading the news. Using social media to reach out for support and feeling connected to others but being careful. I do not fall for rumors, get into arguments, or negatively compare my life to others.
Practicing gratitude means being thankful for the good things in my life. It is helpful to do this every day, either by thinking about what I am grateful for or writing it down in a journal. These can be big things, such as the support I have from loved ones, or little things like enjoying a nice meal. It is important to allow myself a moment to enjoy that I had the positive experience. Practicing gratitude can help me to see my life differently. For example, when I am stressed, I may not notice that there are also moments when I have some positive emotions. Gratitude can help me to recognize them. I am taking care of my physical health since my physical and mental health is connected.
I also watch the sunset. It gives me a reason to go out. They call it a magical time. Even if I have to get back to work later, it's worth just a few minutes to experience some of the most breathtaking moments of the sunset. Nature is the natural fuel of the soul, and only 10-20 minutes of fresh air refreshes and concentrates on me. It inspires me. It is not without reason that sunset was a constant source of inspiration for poets, writers, and Romantics. The timeless and powerful experience has a transcendental spiritual element that has positive, healing, creative, and exhilarating effects when integrated into my daily life. Inspired by the mysterious colors of the sky, I paint the most beautiful pictures of my life. It makes me more thankful to the earth. Beauty enriches my life and makes it more rewarding. Watching the sunrise or set increases our appreciation for the Earth. When the natural beauty of the Earth, such as the sunset, captivates me, it takes away all the distractions and gives me a higher level of satisfaction and appreciation for what is happening in front of me.

The Thinker by Auguste Rodin inspires me. The Thinker, a famous sculpture, depicts a hunched person on a stone pedestal, seemingly lost in thought. The body towers above everything else in the room at over 20 feet high. With his right elbow resting on his left knee and his chin resting on his right hand, the guy is in a meditative state of mind. Rodin's nakedness is a nod to Michelangelo's sculptures and the antiquity of ancient antiquity. Dante's Divine Comedy is also referenced in Rodin's original Gates of Hell. These doors have the Thinker in the middle of the upper panel. Following his death, Rodin granted permission to continue producing The Thinker and other pieces. The sculpture's castings may now be found all over the world, not only at Paris's Rodin Gardens. It encourages me to make a mark on the world with my own unique brand of genius. I photograph. I always have a camera with me, and I shoot images whenever I feel inspired. When I go on a stroll, I like to photograph wildflowers, happy people, marshmallows, and a collection of empty coffee cups. After that, I go out and take some good images, which I then go back and edit. The remainder gets thrown away. Regardless of the creative medium I use to inspire my work, I see the beauty in daily life. I live in a world of flawlessness. In the words of Pablo Picasso, "Good art imitates, great art steals." Or to put it another way, those who are good may learn from those who are better. When I am around people who keep me motivated and focused, I can be more creative.

My brother explained to me, the importance of investing. First, I need to figure out how much money I can invest in the end. As a result, I must organize my funds. To begin, I would make an inventory of my assets and liabilities, devise a practical strategy for managing my responsibilities, and figure out how much of an emergency supply I would need. Taking care of these monetary responsibilities first ensures that I can put money aside for long-term investments and will not have to take any more money out for a time. To achieve my goals, I cannot withdraw cash from long-term projects early, which may limit my ability to give at a loss and may result in costly tax advice. There are a variety of reasons why people invest, he explained to me: retirement, paying for their children's college tuition, and building up their down payment for their home. It does not matter what your goal is; knowing your timeframe, or the length of time I will need the money, is critical to any long-term investment. In most cases, investing for the long-term means holding a position for five years or more, although this is not always the case. Knowing when I will need the money I am investing in will help me make better decisions about which projects to pursue and how much risk I am willing to take on. Even if I had committed to sticking to my investing routine, I should still check in often to see if anything has changed and make adjustments.

I learned that we can calculate how salty our spaghetti cooking water should be. The correct cooking of pasta requires the addition of salt (NaCl) to the water to make a salt solution. We would calculate the concentration in units of Molarity (M) of the ideal NaCl solution made. For example, using 1 Tbsp of NaCl added to 16 cups of water. Conversion factors of note are (1Tbsp of salt (NaCl) = 17.06 g NaCl) and (1 cup of water = 237 mL water.)
We will need to think about
Moles of solute (i.e. how many moles of salt do we have in 1 tbsp.?)
The volume of water (i.e. convert cups of water to L of water)
To determine the # moles of NaCl, we will need to relate tbsp. NaCl to moles NaCl. The easiest way to do this is by using grams NaCl as an intermediate: tbsp. to grams to moles.
The tbps to grams is given
For grams to moles, we use the molar mass of NaCl (we will need the periodic table)
Concentration; mole of solvent/litre of solution
Mole; mass/molar mass
1 tbsp= 17.06g
1 cup= 237ml (16cups= 16 x 237= 3792ml)
Molar mass of NaCl= 23 + 35.5= 58.5
Mole= 17.06/ 58.5= 0.292
Molarity= 0.292/ ((3792/1000))= 0.292/3.792 = 0.077mol/L

The patient's heart and respiration rates, as well as other vital indicators, are monitored and transmitted to an interface unit at home via a wireless local area network (WLAN). Because of the system's ease of deployment, it is possible to tailor the system to each patient's specific demands. Using air pollution data from monitoring places like kitchens and living rooms, diagnostics and ventilation regulation may be used to improve indoor air quality.
Bold Learning and Changing Scholarship
I learned that a huge percentage of the global population lives in locations with high levels of fine particulate matter, a pollutant that can harm one's metabolism and cause cancer of the lungs (PM). According to the Environmental Defense Fund, more than 6 million people die prematurely each year from heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disorders. More people have died from AIDS, TB, and malaria than have died from all three combined. Exposure to air pollution can have a negative influence on the health of children, the elderly, those with pre-existing conditions, and minority and low-income communities. One can only hypothesize about the circumstances surrounding this incident. Medical problems like asthma can be triggered when patients are exposed to high levels of air pollution that contain an excessive quantity of chemicals. If contaminants are present in the environment, they can only have long-term negative effects on healthy people.
Even in healthy people, long-term exposure to acidic gases has been associated with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As a result, emphysema, a condition in which breathing capacity is diminished and heart and respiratory rates are aggravated, is common. As a result of COPD complications, heart disease and diabetes might also be exacerbated. Over 100,000 Americans die each year because of COPD-related causes, making it imperative that one find a way to counteract the disease's impact on public health to free up limited medical resources so that they can be used to treat other illnesses. I strongly believe that improvements in telemedicine and portable air cleaners, together with increased HVAC filter efficiency and rate of ventilation, would provide a foundation for disease control and management.
Bold Community Activist Scholarship
Where I live, we have difficulty meeting our personal needs like clothing, shelter, food, and water. I then decided to volunteer in an organization that helps in establishing peace in my community. I have volunteered in the Tri-County Community Action and Recycle Bicycle of Harrisburg. Our goal is to help people, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by utilizing the strengths and resources already at our disposal. Among the services, we offer are financial literacy education, budgeting, purchasing a home, and parenting. We also support the development of young children and teens, long-term case management, and community planning and regeneration as well. I have learned a lot from this organization, and it has allowed me to put a smile on many faces. Ultimately, my aim is for us all to live in a neighborhood from poverty.
Poverty is eliminated by promoting self-reliance, family stability, and community revival through an outcome-based strategy. We have helped 23 people get the education and training they need to land jobs that pay enough to support their families. Hundreds of first-time homebuyers have registered for our utility assistance and education programs. I treat new TCCA volunteers with the utmost respect for their time, effort, and privacy. I am a kind and open person that is eager to resolve anyone’s issue. That said, I am always open to hearing their thoughts. Every member of the TCCA staff is always there to help the volunteers, including myself. As a community, we have a warm and inclusive atmosphere in which everyone's contributions are valued. I plan to attend college with scholarships.

The Fountainhead by Amy Rand: Keating, a character in the novel, holds the view that one must be self-centered to obtain the things in life that matter most to them. Ayn Rand, the book's author, says she's pleased with the book's purpose and content. This woman is confident in her beliefs, and she believes that her writing is a way to portray an ideal man. That's not my opinion. Keating's negative conduct should not be applied to the broader population as a whole. We should not be self-centered. When we are selfless, we are better able to connect with people. Because we don't act out of pride or a desire to be seen, it helps to restrain our ego. It aids us in acting on our minds and souls, not our egos, with the emotions we desire to feel. Our friendships can be the focus of our attention instead of looking for a buddy who makes us feel a certain way. It spreads easily. We're looking for folks who are kind, loving, and generous. They promote a sense of harmony and tranquility. Better communication is encouraged.
In our relationships, marriages, and friendships, we can exercise selflessness every day. We focus on the other person instead of how the relationship should make us feel.

ESOF Academic Scholarship
My name is Nabeel Hakeem-Olowu; I am a 16-year-old dually enrolled high school senior, which means I have been taking college classes in high school. This scholarship would help me ease the financial burden, of being charged as an international student who resides in the US. As a West African, I have faced many challenges, which include epileptic power supply, bad water supply, and high rates of poverty. I persevered for fourteen years before moving to the United States. I aspire to be a senior chemical engineer someday. I am passionate about hard work, sports, and volunteering. I am an ambitious, goal-focused, self-disciplined individual, who is driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful, important goals. I have a 4.0 GPA, a strong mathematical background in calculus, trigonometry, algebra, and geometry--along with a thorough understanding of science subjects. I see, giving back to the community as an integral part of one's life. I am a high School Senior consistently named to the Honor Roll, and a 2021-2022 Member of the National Honor Society.
I enjoy soccer, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and video games. I intend to study Chemical engineering. I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. Chemical engineers have discovered important radioisotopes. I have written and sent several public messages to spread indoor/outdoor pollution awareness to families and communities.
Where I live, people have difficulty meeting their most fundamental human needs as well as food, water, clothing, and shelter. I then volunteered in an organization that helps in establishing peace in my community. I have engaged in The Tri-County Community Action of Harrisburg. I have built long relationships with this organization and have encouraged popular participation by vendors. Our mission is to leverage available strengths and resources, provide solutions to complex problems, and enable individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty. Our programming includes budgeting, homeownership, parenting, and financial literacy education.

Scorenavigator Financial Literacy Scholarship
My brother explained the importance of having good financial education to me. He told me that the first thing I need is to figure out how much money I ought to invest. As a result, I must organize my funds. To begin, I would make an inventory of my assets and liabilities, devise a practical strategy for managing my responsibilities, and figure out how much of an emergency supply I would need. Taking care of these monetary responsibilities first ensures that I can put money aside for long-term investments and will not have to take any more money out for a time. To achieve my goals, I cannot withdraw cash from long-term projects early, which may limit my ability to give at a loss and may result in costly tax advice. There are a variety of reasons why people invest, he explained to me: retirement, paying for their children's college tuition, and building up their down payment for their home. It does not matter what your goal is; knowing your timeframe, or the length of time I will need the money, is critical to any long-term investment. In most cases, investing for the long-term means holding a position for five years or more, although this is not always the case. Knowing when I will need the money I am investing in will help me make better decisions about which projects to pursue and how much risk I am willing to take on. Even if I had committed to sticking to my investing routine, I should still check in often to see if anything has changed and make adjustments. I plan on using what I learned, to better my future by having good financial credit in college.
Hasanovic American Dream Scholarship
The aspirations of the American dream and the brutal realities of American life are incompatible. The proclaimed vision of freedom and equality for all people has yet to be realized. The great depression's economic devastation shattered American cultural identity, which had been constructed on the promise of upward mobility. Basically the capacity to ascend from the lower and middle classes, and increase opportunity for people from all walks of life. America has gone astray and must reclaim its former splendor. This romantic view of American culture does not resonate with me. In the past, the American dream was never realized. Although American civilization has fallen short of the ideals upon which it was founded. In this nation of the free, neither equality nor freedom has ever existed in the United States of America. Rather, it has perpetuated the same oppressive and exploitative structures as the nations that came before it.
Although the dream is nearly dead, there is still hope that American society will live up to its potential in the years ahead. However, the American dream will perish if exploitative labor and selfishness continue to reign supreme. The worker who never rises the social ladder exemplifies how exploitation runs counter to the American dream promise, that anyone willing to work hard may succeed and make a better life for themselves. Instead, the poor are more likely to stay poor as they are seen as a disposable currency that can be bartered or swapped indefinitely between different employers. This system, which treats workers as objects rather than people, has prevented the American dream from becoming a reality. We must reclaim our home, America, from those who live like leeches on the lives of others. I urge oppressed communities to rise and reimagine America in the spirit of liberty and equality for everyone. It will be America again.
It is not too late for the United States of America to realize its foundational principles. With my college degree, I intend to embrace the American dream promise and reaffirm its central position in American culture. I intend to volunteer for an organization that promotes peace. I would cultivate close ties with this group and encourage widespread engagement. Our goal would be to use existing talents and resources to solve complicated problems and help individuals, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty. This would include budgeting, homeownership, parenting, and financial literacy instruction. All of this would be part of our programming: early learning, child and youth development, and long-term case management.
I believe community planning and redevelopment are important priorities. This organization would teach me a lot and allow me to make people happy. My goal would be that all would live in an impoverished community. We would utilize an outcome-based strategy to foster self-sufficiency, family stability, and community revitalization. I would be delighted to talk about my issues with others. Other opinions and ideas would be welcome. We would create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in the community.
Bold Future of Education Scholarship
Confidence in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment is known as self-confidence. A balanced assessment of one's strengths and weaknesses is all it takes to cultivate a healthy feeling of confidence. Students who have a strong sense of self-worth and self-respect are more likely to be treated with kindness and consideration by others around them. Several studies have found a strong connection between self-confidence and overall well-being, so its relevance should not be understated. Students' academic and social lives can be seriously harmed by excessive worry and anxiety, as well as a proclivity to dwell on perceived flaws and errors. Being more confident in one's abilities can help one avoid worry and break out of a cycle of over-analyzing. One would have to be concerned about what other people think of them when they are free to pursue new interests, roles, and hobbies.
Students who lack self-confidence may believe that their goals and objectives are unachievable or that they are unworthy of achieving them. If they have these feelings, they will struggle to sustain a high level of commitment and motivation. If schools assist students in building their confidence, they can help them achieve their goals by teaching them how to take tiny steps toward them. When the going gets rough, they will be motivated to keep going because of their sense of success. As a result, they have a better sense of who they are. Students may find this to be a motivating factor. Students can keep a high feeling of self-worth even in the face of failures or perceived flaws if they are confident in themselves. To put it another way, people have the freedom to be who they truly are.
Schools could assist pupils in learning to embrace themselves. Through self-acceptance, students can assess their strengths and faults. Teach your students that they do not have to be too hard on themselves to improve their weaknesses. By letting students know that their value is not based on their successes or failures, they will feel more confident about themselves. Focusing on the little things is important for students. Students can make a list of all the things they have already accomplished in their life. Even if their accomplishments are modest or huge, it doesn't matter. This list will give them a sense of accomplishment and boost their self-esteem. It also provides individuals with a sense of accomplishment in the face of adversity or failure. Students need to be more tolerant of failure. Students who have a strong sense of self-worth are more resilient to failure. Resilient pupils bounce back quickly, learn from their mistakes, and try again rather than succumbing to defeat. Because they know that failure is a part of life, these people take more risks, which leads to more success in the future.

The history of the Negro leagues would not “have been known” without Robert Peterson. His influence and impact on the African-American community throughout unjustified suffering would not be known if it were not for him. The Negro Leagues and the history of the United States owe a great deal to Robert Peterson and the knowledge he had shared about his time in the organization, especially in light of the numerous African Americans who have followed his example while growing up in Warren, Pennsylvania. Robert Peterson saw barnstorming games that included teams from the Negro Leagues. For too long these underrepresented ballplayers’ stories have gone untold, but Robert Peterson had changed that with his book Only the Ball Was White. (The Negro Leagues Are Major Leagues: A Resource for Educators, n.d.)
According to Peterson, the historic Negro Leagues can be re-created by consulting sports magazines, black press reporting, and interviews with former players from the start of the civil war through the signing of Jackie Robinson. In 1947, Peterson brought this intriguing era to life. All-star lineups from the east and west all-star teams, as well as interviews with the players themselves, were shown at the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown New York. As a bonus, Peterson provided yearly Negro league standings and an all-time list of players and officials that made the book an invaluable resource for baseball history.
Peterson began researching the history of black baseball in 1966 while working as a freelance writer. He was also able to locate down numerous high-profile players and interview them extensively. Only the Ball Was White was the culmination of the process of work that opened the door to an unknown aspect of American history. (Forgotten History, n.d.)

A friend and I wrote an essay as a form of communication to the masses to spread the awareness and impact of air pollution on human health. We want to stop the spread of this menace, as it is one of the global challenges affecting the world's population currently. We started by exposing ourselves to valuable ideas. Then, we decided to search for global challenges the world is currently facing. We saw examples like racism, fires, food security, human trafficking, embezzlement, pollution, violence, child labor, substance abuse, and inequality. We then agreed on spreading the awareness and impact of air pollution on human health. Ideally, people working as a group can accomplish more, and more productively, than one person can on their own. Working together allowed us to learn from each other. Part of collaborating on our problem involved brainstorming sessions. We learned a lot from each other’s perspectives. Friends with diverse experiences and knowledge backgrounds saw the same situation from a different point of view. We learned that working together to achieve a common goal is necessary for curbing global issues.

Bold Wise Words Scholarship
"For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness".
I stay positive. It is important to try to have a positive outlook; some ways I do that include finding a balance between positive and negative emotions. Staying positive does not mean that I never feel negative emotions, such as sadness or anger. I need to feel them so that I can move through difficult situations. They can help me to respond to a problem. But I don't want those emotions to take over. For example, it is not helpful to keep thinking about bad things that happened in the past or worry too much about the future. Trying to hold on to the positive emotions when I have them; taking a break from negative information. Knowing when to stop watching or reading the news.

Bold Persistence Scholarship
Considering I'm from Nigeria, West Africa, I have faced many challenges. Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions. At best, the average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lock downs to aid fair distribution and predictability. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development. I then persevered for fifteen years, before I decided to move to the United States. I now volunteer in an organization that helps in establishing peace in my community. I have engaged in The Tri-County Community Action of Harrisburg.

Bold Encouraging Others Scholarship
I love popular participation and encouraging peers to achieve their goals. I was the captain of the Boys' Varsity Soccer Team last summer. Before my team started, we went to train in Harrisburg. Our coaches helped us get to where we are now. We had practice four to six hours everyday for two months before we started competitions. I would always make sure everyone showed up to practice to make the best out of it. I must say, it was a lot. I encouraged my team to keep moving forward and working hard, despite under the scorching sun. I also took up the responsibility to train new teammates on the techniques and skills. I would never forget the drills, matches, weight rooms, suicide runs, long sprints, ice bath and all. We had to juggle school with it though, for it was a thrilling and tiresome experience. Then after the competitions started, we made the playoffs, after destroying all the teams, we made it to the semi-finals. We then entered the finals.
I remember our last match which caught the attention of thousands of spectators. We played in Yellow Breeches. We won! finally after having only two wins in eight years, we shocked the districts. So, after the season was over, I didn't want to give up everything I worked for because of the winter. So I joined the Sunday League, we play pickup games and have fun with other teams. We hit the weight room and play indoors frequently. Although the competitions would soon begin, the other teams think they have the upper hand because most of our players have either got injuries or graduated. But when we start recruiting, they will all pay after we destroy them. I do intend to go to college after with scholarships

Bold Science Matters Scholarship
I learned that we can calculate how salty our spaghetti cooking water should be. The correct cooking of pasta requires the addition of salt (NaCl) to the water to make a salt solution. We would calculate the concentration in units of Molarity (M) of the ideal NaCl solution made. For example, using 1 Tbsp of NaCl added to 16 cups of water. Conversion factors of note are (1Tbsp of salt (NaCl) = 17.06 g NaCl) and (1 cup of water = 237 mL water.)
We will need to think about
Moles of solute (i.e. how many moles of salt do we have in 1 tbsp.?)
The volume of water (i.e. convert cups of water to L of water)
To determine the # moles of NaCl, we will need to relate tbsp. NaCl to moles NaCl. The easiest way to do this is by using grams NaCl as an intermediate: tbsp. to grams to moles.
The tbps to grams is given
For grams to moles, we use the molar mass of NaCl (we will need the periodic table)
Concentration; mole of solvent/litre of solution
Mole; mass/molar mass
1 tbsp= 17.06g
1 cup= 237ml (16cups= 16 x 237= 3792ml)
Molar mass of NaCl= 23 + 35.5= 58.5
Mole= 17.06/ 58.5= 0.292
Molarity= 0.292/ ((3792/1000))= 0.292/3.792 = 0.077mol/L

Isaac Yunhu Lee Memorial Arts Scholarship
I am inspired by the Thinker by Auguste Rodin. The Thinker is an iconic sculpture of a crouching figure, highly contemplative upon its stone plinth. At nearly 20 feet tall, the body is larger than life-size. The man sits deep in thought, twisting his body with his right elbow resting on his left knee, and his chin resting on his right hand. Rodin’s nude references sculptural works of Michelangelo and classical antiquity. Anticipated originally as part of Rodin’s Gates of Hell, Rodin is also referencing Dante’s Divine Comedy. The Thinker can be seen at the center of the top panel of these doors. When Rodin died, he gave the rights to cast further sculptures of The Thinker and other works. Castings of the sculpture can now be found across the globe, not just in the Rodin Gardens in Paris. It inspires me to leave a sense of creativity in the world. I take pictures. I carry a small camera and take pictures that inspire me. When I walk, I take pictures of wildflowers, photos of smiling faces, marshmallows, and a pile of coffee mugs. Then I collect and edit some nice photos. I discard the rest. From this, I observe the beauty of everyday life no matter what creative medium I use to inspire my work. I surround myself with perfection. Pablo Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." In other words, good people learn from better people, and better people learn from the best people. Surrounded by people who keep me encouraged and focused, I can develop my creativity.

The civil rights movement (1896–1954) was a long, primarily nonviolent action to bring full civil rights and equality under the law to all Americans. The era has had a lasting impact on American society – in its tactics, the increased social and legal acceptance of civil rights, and in its exposure of the prevalence and cost of racism. One of the greatest achievements of the civil rights movement, the Civil Rights Act led to greater social and economic mobility for African-Americans across the nation and banned racial discrimination, providing greater access to resources for women, religious minorities, African-Americans and low-income families. Additionally, the Act paved the way for subsequent civil rights legislation for African-Americans and other minority groups including the removal of discriminatory barriers to voting (Voting Rights Act of 1965), protection from discrimination when Americans are renting, buying or paying for housing (Fair Housing Act of 1968), and specific protections under the law for Americans with disabilities (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990).
Despite the tremendous progress our country has made since 1964, the Civil Rights Act must continue to shape our nation’s definition of and access to equal opportunity. In commemoration of the signing of the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964, The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans has highlighted five reasons the Civil Rights Act still matters today. The civil rights movement was an empowering yet precarious time for us Black Americans. The efforts of civil rights activists and countless protesters of all races brought about legislation to end segregation, Black voter suppression and discriminatory employment and housing practices. I join community meetings. I take the floor when issues that concern equality and discrimination are discussed or bring them into the discussion. I believe adding a human rights perspective to the decision making process is a crucial task. I would want to teach children and adults by running a workshop on equality for community members, tutoring immigrant children or refugees in my community.

Dancing holds a special place in my life. There's just something about grooving to the beat that takes all my worries to go away in a jiffy. There's just something magical about dancing that takes me out of this world and I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's the rhythm, the beat, the flighted body motions whatever it is I just love to dance. Whether onbeat or offbeat everyone loves to dance no matter their age, origin of birth, body size, or status. Since I was a little boy, I have always loved dancing because it fills my heart with joy. Dancing is a unique art that only requires passion. Dancing is my life and has changed my life in numerous ways. For me, it's one of the amazing ways of exercising. One of the most obvious reasons why I dance is that it keeps me fit. Dancing like a pro in any style including breakdance, hip hop, ballet, jazz, etc. is very hard to master. To become a better dancer people spend years on the dance floor and practice every day. To become an amazing dancer, a dance teacher has to teach this art to you for years.
Dancing with fellow dancers is just a part of becoming good at this art. Generally, dance is just a freestyle movement of the body, but if you want to look good while dancing then it requires a lot of dance classes Dancing like a pro is harder than many people think. It leaves you sweating and tired but in the end, you feel great and refreshed. Dance also teaches us not to give up. It's about practicing every day until you learn the right moves. Dancing is about hope, hope enables one to perfect his moves and perform better next time. I love dancing for several reasons; dancing makes me feel free, it helps me express myself, it also makes me forget my problems. On top of all these benefits, dancing improves our mental and emotional health. I some times join dance parties to have fun and enjoy the moment.
Dance promotes a healthy lifestyle and has many health benefits. Healthwise, dance helps in body sculpting, relieving stress, and increasing stamina. It also improves memory, mental a notional health and improves the cardiovascular system. Whenever I feel stressed or angry I dance away the pain to make me feel better, Speaking of benefits in social life, dancing makes me forget about my bad day at college. Through dancing, I have met some amazing friends in my social life. The best part of being a dancer is you will always meet people and share your experience. These are some of the reasons I love dancing and never want to stop dancing any time soon.

I'm really good at sports, soccer being my favorite. Last summer, before my team started, we went to train in Harrisburg. Our coaches helped us get to where we are now. We had practice four to six hours everyday for two months before we started competitions. I would always go to practice to make the best out of it. I must say, it was a lot. I would never forget the drills, matches, weight rooms, suicide runs, long sprints, ice bath and all. We had to juggle school with it though, for it was a thrilling and tiresome experience. Then after the competitions started, we made the playoffs, after destroying all the teams, we made it to the semi-finals. We then entered the finals.
I remember our last match which caught the attention of thousands of spectators. We played in Yellow Breeches. We won! finally after having only two wins in eight years, we shocked the districts. So, after the season was over, I didn't want to give up everything I worked for because of the winter. So I joined the Sunday League, we play pickup games and have fun with other teams. We hit the weight room and play indoors frequently. Although the competitions would soon begin, the other teams think they have the upper hand because most of our players have either got injuries or graduated. But when we start recruiting, they will all pay after we destroy them. I do intend to go to college after with scholarships.

Considering I'm from Nigeria, West Africa, I have faced many challenges. "Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions. At best, the average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lock downs to aid fair distribution and predictability. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development". (Ejiogu, 2012)

An example of unique art is The Thinker by Auguste Rodin. The Thinker is an iconic sculpture of a crouching figure, highly contemplative upon its stone plinth. At nearly 20 feet tall, the body is larger than life-size.
The man sits deep in thought, twisting his body with his right elbow resting on his left knee, and his chin resting on his right hand. Rodin’s nude references sculptural works of Michelangelo and classical antiquity. Anticipated originally as part of Rodin’s Gates of Hell, Rodin is also referencing Dante’s Divine Comedy. The Thinker can be seen at the center of the top panel of these doors. When Rodin died, he gave the rights to cast further sculptures of The Thinker and other works. Castings of the sculpture can now be found across the globe, not just in the Rodin Gardens in Paris. It inspires me to leave a sense of creativity in the world. I take pictures.
I carry a small camera and take pictures that inspire me. When I walk, I take pictures of wildflowers, photos of smiling faces, marshmallows, and a pile of coffee mugs. Then I collect and edit some nice photos. I discard the rest. From this, I observe the beauty of everyday life no matter what creative medium I use to inspire my work. I surround myself with perfection. Pablo Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." In other words, good people learn from better people, and better people learn from the best people. Surrounded by people who keep me encouraged and focused, I can develop my creativity.

Bold Optimist Scholarship
I stay positive. It's important to try to have a positive outlook; some ways I do that include
finding a balance between positive and negative emotions. Staying positive doesn't mean that I never feel negative emotions, such as sadness or anger. I need to feel them so that I can move through difficult situations. They can help me to respond to a problem. But I don't want those emotions to take over. For example, it's not helpful to keep thinking about bad things that happened in the past or worry too much about the future. Trying to hold on to the positive emotions when I have them; taking a break from negative information. Knowing when to stop watching or reading the news. Using social media to reach out for support and feeling connected to others but being careful. I don't fall for rumors, get into arguments, or negatively compare my life to others.
Practicing gratitude, which means being thankful for the good things in my life. It's helpful to do this every day, either by thinking about what I am grateful for or writing it down in a journal. These can be big things, such as the support I have from loved ones, or little things, such as enjoying a nice meal. It's important to allow myself a moment to enjoy that I had the positive experience. Practicing gratitude can help me to see my life differently. For example, when I am stressed, I may not notice that there are also moments when I have some positive emotions. Gratitude can help me to recognize them. Taking care of my physical health, since my physical and mental health is connected. Being physically active. Exercise can reduce feelings of stress and depression and improve my mood.

I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, and work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. Important radioisotopes have been discovered by chemical engineers. The development of STEM began with the Morrill Act of 1862, which established land concession universities to promote agricultural science (Britannica, 2019). After this, the Act also established engineering programs. Where other land grant establishments have emerged, STEM training has spread beyond education and has begun to penetrate the labor market.
STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes. A physicist at MIT administered the first human treatment, using RAI produced at the university to treat an MGH patient with hyperthyroidism . Hertz and others later used RAI to diagnose and treat cancer. These advances and discoveries by other researchers laid the foundation for the modern field of nuclear medicine. Radioiodine and other radiopharmaceuticals are now routinely used in diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, saving, and improving the lives of millions of people.

We need to educate the masses on investing. Before we can invest in the long term, we have to know how much cash we ought to invest. Which means getting our finances in order. Begin by taking stock of your resources and obligations, setting up a sensible obligation administration plan, and understanding how much you would like to completely stock emergency support. Handling these monetary tasks, to begin with, guarantees that you’ll be able to put reserves into long-term ventures and not got to pull cash out once more for a while. Pulling back funds early from long-term ventures undermines your objectives, may constrain you to offer at a loss, and can have possible costly tax suggestions. Everybody has diverse investing objectives: retirement, paying for your children’s college education, building up domestic down installment.
No matter what the objective, the key to all long-term investing is understanding your time skyline, or how long you would need the money. Regularly, long-term investing implies five years or more, but there’s no firm definition. By understanding when you require the funds you’re investing in, you'll have an improved sense of fitting ventures to select and how much risk you should take on. Although you’ve committed to staying along with your investing procedure, you still ought to check in intermittently and make alterations. One could do a thorough review of his/her clients’ portfolios and their underlying resources every quarter. You'll be able to do the same along with your portfolio. Whereas you'll not have to be checked in quarterly on the off chance that you’re latently investing in index reserves, most advisors suggest an annual check-in at least

Bold Great Minds Scholarship
Martin Luther King Jr. He was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest.Arrested for his involvement on April 12, King penned the civil rights manifesto known as the “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” an eloquent defense of civil disobedience addressed to a group of white clergymen who had criticized his tactics.He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986. Emboldened by the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, in 1957 he and other civil rights activists—most of them fellow ministers—founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), a group committed to achieving full equality for African Americans through nonviolent protest. The SCLC motto was “Not one hair of one head of one person should be harmed.” King would remain at the helm of this influential organization until his death. In his role as SCLC president, Martin Luther King Jr. traveled across the country and around the world, giving lectures on nonviolent protest and civil rights as well as meeting with religious figures, activists and political leaders.

Bold Great Books Scholarship
Amy Rand, The Fountainhead. Keating- a character in the book believes he should put himself first before another that one has to be selfish to get what he wants most in life. The author; Ayn Rand claims she is highly satisfied with the motives and contents of the book. She believes her philosophy is strong, and that the purpose and motive of her writing is the projection of an ideal man. I disagree. Keating should not generalize his bad deeds to the majority. We should not be selfish. Selflessness helps us identify and communicate with others, and is a reward in itself. It helps to suppress our ego because we do not act out of pride or the desire to be noticed. It helps us use the emotions we truly want to act in our mind and soul, not the ego. Instead of expecting, a friend who makes us feel a certain way- we can turn our attention to our relationships with others. It is contagious. We want generous, loving, and generous people. They encourage peace and harmony. It helps to encourage better communication.
We can also practice selflessness in our relationships, marriages, and friendships every day. Instead of thinking about how this relationship should make us feel, we turn our attention to the other person. Think "Happy" and "We're doing this for you." Notice how this affects our relationships. We maintain all these expectations from our loved ones, which often lead to disappointment. We should change dialogue and connections by returning them to attention and purpose and how we can help them. We set ourselves up for our satisfaction. The meaning of life is to strive for the prosperity of humanity through communication, understanding, and service.
Learner.com Algebra Scholarship
Mathematics is applied in various fields and disciplines, i.e., mathematical concepts and procedures are used to solve problems in science, engineering, economics. (For example, the understanding of complex numbers is a prerequisite to learn many concepts in electronics.) The complexity of those problems often requires relatively sophisticated mathematical concepts and procedures when compared to the mathematical literacy aforementioned. Mathematics is a part of our human cultural heritage, and we have a responsibility to develop that heritage. Secondly, since mathematics provides foundational knowledge and skills for other school subjects, such as sciences, art, economy, etc., the issue of how mathematics is intertwined with other school subjects deserved to be addressed.
In some curricula, mathematics is offered independently to support the study of other school subjects as an ‘instrumental subject’, and in other curricula, integrated courses which combine mathematics and other fields are offered. Thirdly, we may wish to reflect on the number of hours (proportion of hours) and/or courses allocated to mathematics when compared to the other school subject in the curriculum of each country. In addition to this quantitative analysis, information about the qualitative description of school mathematics about other subjects also needs to be gathered. Although this comparison won’t show us the whole picture of why different countries attach the importance that they do to mathematics, the comparison may nonetheless provoke further discussion.
The greatest hurdle in the process of learning mathematics is a lack of practice. Students should daily work out at least 10 problems from different areas to master the concept and develop speed and accuracy in solving a problem. Learning multiplication tables should be encouraged in the lower classes. Another very effective means of spreading the knowledge of mathematics among children is through peer teaching. Once a child has learned a concept from his teacher, the latter should ask him to explain the same to fellow students. Moreover, in the process, all the children will be able to express their doubts on the topic and clear them through discussions in a group.
The present age is one of skill-development and innovations. The more mathematical we are in our approach, the more successful we will be. Mathematics offers rationality to our thoughts. It is a tool in our hands to make our life simpler and easier. Let us realize and appreciate the beauty of the subject and embrace it with all our hearts. It is a talent that should be compulsorily honed by all in every walk of life.
Bold Memories Scholarship
Considering I'm from Nigeria, West Africa, I have faced many challenges. Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions. At best, the average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lock downs to aid fair distribution and predictability. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development. I then persevered for fifteen years, before I decided to move to the United States. I now volunteer in an organization that helps in establishing peace in my community.

Not Afraid by Eminem. This track is premised on the artist ‘taking a stand’, as in confronting pressing issues head-on. And foremost amongst the resolutions he makes is a pledge to stay true to his musical profession. He is “married to the game”. He expresses this sentiment not only in terms of continuing to make music but also in songs that are a genuine reflection of who he is as an individual. He is “not afraid to take a stand”, as in he is not inclined to shy away from his controversial dispositions. And in that regard, he pledges his fans (like me) to always keep it real. Then the tone of the song shifts in the bridge and third verse. These parts of the song rather deal with Eminem’s well-known battles with drug addiction. So within the overall theme of the song, it is implied that Eminem tackling all of the mentioned matters head-on is requiring a considerable degree of bravery on his part. But perhaps more to the point, his courage is manifest in him being able to proclaim such personal feelings to the listening public. So on one hand “Not Afraid” is a rallying cry, with Eminem leading the charge towards people being bold in standing up for what they believe in, both in public and private. He is standing up for his beliefs. In doing so, he makes positive changes in his life and implores his listeners/fans to do the same.

Bold Legacy Scholarship
I plan to live a sense of creativity in the world, by taking pictures. I carry a small camera and take pictures that inspire me. When I walk, I take pictures of wildflowers, photos of smiling faces, marshmallows, and a pile of coffee mugs. Then I collect and edit some nice photos. I discard the rest. By doing this regularly, I observe the beauty of everyday life no matter what creative medium I use to inspire my work. I surround myself with perfection. Pablo Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." In other words, good people learn from better people, and better people learn from the best people. Surrounded by people who keep me encouraged and focused, I can develop my creativity. There are many talented people around me, and I am learning from them.
It is not only about being surrounded by talented people but about knowledge. I do not limit myself. I am always learning and experiencing many new things. This develops my creativity. The fear that I might make a big mistake or fail to try something new can paralyze my creativity. We should always remember that mistakes could be made. This is only part of the creative process. Many great hearts suffer from the fear of failure, but they never gave up and kept trying until they succeeded. However, to overcome the fear of failure, I analyze all possible outcomes, develop an emergency response plan, and think about the worst-case scenarios. This helps me regain my confidence and start over with complete confidence.

Bold Happiness Scholarship
Watching the sunset. It gives me a reason to go out because it is magical. Even if I have to get back to work later, it's worth just a few minutes to experience some of the most breathtaking moments of the sunset. Nature is the natural fuel of the soul, and only 10-20 minutes of fresh air refreshes and concentrates on me. It inspires me. It is not without reason that sunset was a constant source of inspiration for poets, writers, and Romantics. The timeless and powerful experience has a transcendental spiritual element that, when integrated into my daily life, has positive, healing, creative, and exhilarating effects. Inspired by the mysterious colors of the sky, I paint the most beautiful pictures of my life. It makes me more thankful to the earth. Beauty enriches my life and makes it more rewarding. Watching the sunrise or set increases my appreciation for the Earth. When the natural beauty of the Earth, such as the sunset, captivates me, it takes away all the distractions and gives me a higher level of satisfaction and appreciation for what is happening in front of me.

Our mission is to leverage available strengths and resources, provide solutions to complex problems, and enable individuals, families, and communities to overcome poverty. This organization has taught me so much and has made me put smiles on people's faces. Our vision is that we all live in an impoverished community.

Amy Rand, The Fountainhead. Keating- a character in the book believes he should put himself first before another that one has to be selfish to get what he wants most in life. The author; Ayn Rand claims she is highly satisfied with the motives and contents of the book. She believes her philosophy is strong, and that the purpose and motive of her writing is the projection of an ideal man. I disagree. Keating should not generalize his bad deeds to the majority. We should not be selfish. Selflessness helps us identify and communicate with others, and is a reward in itself. It helps to suppress our ego because we do not act out of pride or the desire to be noticed. It helps us use the emotions we truly want to act in our mind and soul, not the ego. Instead of expecting, a friend who makes us feel a certain way- we can turn our attention to our relationships with others. It is contagious. We want generous, loving, and generous people. They encourage peace and harmony. It helps to encourage better communication.
We can also practice selflessness in our relationships, marriages, and friendships every day. Instead of thinking about how this relationship should make us feel, we turn our attention to the other person. Think "Happy" and "We're doing this for you." Notice how this affects our relationships. We maintain all these expectations from our loved ones, which often lead to disappointment. We should change dialogue and connections by returning them to attention and purpose and how we can help them. We set ourselves up for our satisfaction. The meaning of life is to strive for the prosperity of humanity through communication, understanding, and service.
Bold Art Scholarship
The Thinker by Auguste Rodin. The Thinker is an iconic sculpture of a crouching figure, highly contemplative upon its stone plinth. At nearly 20 feet tall, the body is larger than life-size. The man sits deep in thought, twisting his body with his right elbow resting on his left knee, and his chin resting on his right hand. Rodin’s nude references sculptural works of Michelangelo and classical antiquity. Anticipated originally as part of Rodin’s Gates of Hell, Rodin is also referencing Dante’s Divine Comedy. The Thinker can be seen at the center of the top panel of these doors. When Rodin died, he gave the rights to cast further sculptures of The Thinker and other works. Castings of the sculpture can now be found across the globe, not just in the Rodin Gardens in Paris. It inspires me to leave a sense of creativity in the world. I take pictures. I carry a small camera and take pictures that inspire me. When I walk, I take pictures of wildflowers, photos of smiling faces, marshmallows, and a pile of coffee mugs. Then I collect and edit some nice photos. I discard the rest. From this, I observe the beauty of everyday life no matter what creative medium I use to inspire my work. I surround myself with perfection. Pablo Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." In other words, good people learn from better people, and better people learn from the best people. Surrounded by people who keep me encouraged and focused, I can develop my creativity.
Bold Equality Scholarship
I join community meetings. I take the floor when issues that concern equality and discrimination are discussed or bring them into discussion. I believe adding a human rights perspective to the decision making process is a crucial task. I would want to teach children and adults by running a workshop on equality for community members, tutor immigrant children or refugees in my community. Provide support on basic tasks such as filling out forms, taking the public transport or visiting health services. I organize events like photo exhibition, public debates or local meet-ups to draw attention to inequality issues. Also, invite members of my local community to attend and engage in a dialogue. I support my neighborhood. Supporting people in my community that live at the edges of society – homeless persons, asylum seekers, refugees, people with little or no income. And visiting a local homeless shelter or asylum center and offering my help. I plan to create a community newsletter
offering a human rights perspective on issues that happen in our community. I support local organizations. By joining forces with local charities and civil society organizations to tackle discrimination in my community.
COVID-19 Perspective Scholarship
COVID, without diving much into the history, is an acronym for Coronavirus Disease, which began in 2019 in China. It was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Scientists are making discoveries on this disease. Although most people who have COVID-19 have mild symptoms, COVID-19 can also cause severe illness and even death. Some groups, including older adults and people who have certain underlying medical conditions, are at increased risk of severe illness.
Sadly, it has indeed affected students’ way of life. Reduced learning time has likely obstructed student learning. The school lockdowns that started in the spring of 2020 reduced instructional and learning time, which is known to impede student performance, with disparate impacts on different groups of students. Fortunately, the school district decided to resume schooling online, as most schools were closed due to this pandemic. Examples include; having zoom meetings, conference calls, virtual schooling, and so on. Life will seem normal when covid infection stops, and no transmission and infection have been recorded anymore.
The COVID-19 crisis also led to dramatic swings in household spending. Retail sales declined 8.7 percent from February to March 2020, the largest month-to-month decrease since the Census Bureau started tracking the data (U.S. Census Bureau 2020). With the coronavirus pandemic, healthcare workers are at elevated risk because of their high level of exposure. Front-line responders include not only nurses and doctors but also administrative staff and medical assistants. Now, wearing masks is mandatory, maintaining social distancing and staying at home. Medical students are volunteering at call centers, running mask drives, and creating patient education materials. Future healthcare careers will include telemedicine remote patient contact, which we students are now practicing online.
If we have or think we might have COVID-19, it is important to stay home and away from other people. Staying away from others helps stop the spread of COVID-19. If we have an emergency warning sign, we should get emergency medical care immediately. Wearing masks that cover our noses and mouth to help protect others and ourselves. Maintaining social distancing and avoiding poorly ventilated indoor spaces.

Tina and Danny Rodriguez Scholarship
This scholarship will allow my funding to study Chemical engineering at Princeton. Princeton’s dedication to undergraduate education is deep. I could build strong working relationships with professors who are leaders in their fields. The program at Princeton focuses on learning, creativity, innovation, and collaboration with a liberal arts program in literature, arts and social sciences, engineering, and natural sciences. I will explore a wide range of disciplines and develop an in-depth understanding of a concentration area.
That is Chemical and Biomolecular engineering. I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable.
If more people knew the benefits of exercise on avoidance of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease, more people would be running to join a local gym. Exercise helps me increase my ROS (reactive oxygen species), resulting in decreases in the incidence of oxidative stress-related diseases (Deslandes et al., 2009). All disease has links to inflammation. Regular exercise increases my body’s ability to reduce that inflammation. This can help in slowing the aging process of the elderly. I start small and grow my exercise practice slowly and consistently. Jumping in with excessive weight training or aerobic exercise can be harmful and lessen the willingness for me to continue with the practice. I recommend a slow, steady increase in levels of activity. Nobody becomes The Rock overnight.
I tend to exercise regularly because it gives me an enormous sense of well-being. I feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about myself and my life. And it’s also a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges. My regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves my stress, improves my memory, helps me sleep better, and boosts my overall mood. And I don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to reap the benefits. Research indicates that modest amounts of exercise can make a real difference.
No matter my age or fitness level, I can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to deal with mental health problems, improve my energy and outlook, and get more out of life. I don’t need to devote hours out of my busy day to train at the gym, sweat buckets, or run mile after monotonous mile to reap all the physical and mental health benefits of exercise. Just 30-minutes of moderate exercise five times a week is enough for me. And even that can be broken down into two 15-minute or even three 10-minute exercise sessions if that’s easier for me

Bold Hope for the Future Scholarship
I stay positive. It's important to try to have a positive outlook; some ways I do that include
finding a balance between positive and negative emotions. Staying positive doesn't mean that I never feel negative emotions, such as sadness or anger. I need to feel them so that I can move through difficult situations. They can help me to respond to a problem. But I don't want those emotions to take over. For example, it's not helpful to keep thinking about bad things that happened in the past or worry too much about the future. Trying to hold on to the positive emotions when I have them; taking a break from negative information. Knowing when to stop watching or reading the news. Using social media to reach out for support and feeling connected to others but being careful. I don't fall for rumors, get into arguments, or negatively compare my life to others.
Practicing gratitude, which means being thankful for the good things in my life. It's helpful to do this every day, either by thinking about what I am grateful for or writing it down in a journal. These can be big things, such as the support I have from loved ones, or little things, such as enjoying a nice meal. It's important to allow myself a moment to enjoy that I had the positive experience. Practicing gratitude can help me to see my life differently. For example, when I am stressed, I may not notice that there are also moments when I have some positive emotions. Gratitude can help me to recognize them. Taking care of my physical health, since my physical and mental health is connected. Being physically active. Exercise can reduce feelings of stress and depression and improve my mood.

I plan to live a sense of creativity in the world. I take pictures. I carry a small camera and take pictures that inspire me. When I walk, I take pictures of wildflowers, photos of smiling faces, marshmallows, and a pile of coffee mugs. Sipping hot chocolate with the brothers at a local café. Then I collect and edit some nice photos. I discard the rest. If I do it regularly, I can observe the beauty of everyday life no matter what creative medium I use to inspire my work. I surround myself with perfection. Pablo Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." In other words, good people learn from better people, and better people learn from the best people. Surrounded by people who keep me encouraged and focused, I can develop my creativity.
So there are a lot of talented people around me, and I am learning from them. It is not only about being surrounded by talented people but about knowledge. I do not limit myself. I am always learning and experiencing many new things. This develops my creativity. The fear that I might make a big mistake or fail to try something new can paralyze my creativity. We should always remember that mistakes could be made. This is only part of the creative process. Many great hearts suffer from the fear of failure, but they never gave up and kept trying until they succeeded. However, to overcome the fear of failure, I analyze all possible outcomes, develop an emergency response plan, and think about the worst-case scenarios. This helps me regain my confidence and start over with complete confidence.

Exercise is my hobby. If more people learn that exercise helps prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, more people will run to their local gym. Exercise helps reduce the incidence of diseases related to oxidative stress by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Deslandes et al., 2009). All diseases are associated with inflammation. Regular exercise increases your body's ability to reduce this inflammation. It may help slow the aging process in older people. I start small and slowly and consistently expand my exercise practice. Jumping with excessive weight training or aerobic exercise can be detrimental and reduce the desire to keep practicing. It is recommended to increase the activity level slowly and steadily. No one turns into a rock overnight.
Mental health improved through physical fitness. Gained increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which improves memory, clarity of thought, self-esteem, improved sleep, increased energy, resilience, and neurotransmission. Studies have shown that my exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effective as antidepressants, but of course without side effects. For example, Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running 15 minutes or walking an hour a day reduced the risk of major depression by 26%. Research shows that in addition to relieving symptoms of depression, following an exercise schedule can help prevent relapses.
Exercise is a powerful fight against depression for several reasons. Most important to me is to promote all sorts of changes in the brain, including nerve growth, reduced inflammation, and new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being within me. It also releases endorphins, a powerful chemical in the brain, to raise and improve mood. Finally, exercise can also give you time to break free from the vicious cycle of negative thoughts that distract and promote depression. I try to exercise regularly because it gives me a great sense of well-being. I feel more energetic during the day, sleep better at night, have clearer memories, feel more relaxed, and have a positive outlook on my life and myself.
It is an effective drug for many common mental health problems. Regular exercise can have a very positive effect on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also reduces my stress, improves my memory, helps me sleep better, and improves my overall mood. In addition, you do not have to be a fitness enthusiast to enjoy the benefits. Studies show that moderate amounts of exercise can make a real difference. Regardless of my age or physical level, I can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to address mental health issues, improve my energy and outlook, and Make the most of life. I do not need to spend hours of my busy day working out in the gym, breaking out in bucket sweats, or running mile after mile to reap the full benefits of mental and physical health.
Moderate exercise for about 30 minutes 5 times a week is sufficient.

My mother. She is a person who excels in terms of skills and responsibilities. Results-driven and motivated, she works to a high standard, with little need for supervision or support.

She likes to set a goal, and then work persistently towards it until it has been completed. She frequently has an internal locus of control. She believes that she, and the people she hangs out with, are responsible for where she'll end up in life. She has taught me to be patient.

Patience helps me act from my heart and soul instead of my ego, tapping into my true desired feelings. It helps improve my relationships – rather than expecting my friend to make me feel a certain way; I can shift my focus to being in the relationship for the other person. It is contagious.

Bold Listening Scholarship
Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in the communication process. It is key to all effective communication. Without the ability to listen effectively, messages are easily misunderstood. As a result, communication breaks down and the sender of the message can easily become frustrated or irritated.

Yes, everyone knows about education, but not many are aware of the emphasis placed on it. Education makes us view obstacles as challenges to overcome with no fear; facing new things. It is the main factor behind successful people and the merit of developed countries. Therefore, education is deemed a real success behind any future success. A good education is extremely essential for everyone to grow and succeed in life. It gives the ability to read and write to anyone.
Education increases self-confidence and assists in developing the personality of a person. It plays a big role in our life. Education paves the way for us to have a good career.

I am passionate about education. Yes, everyone knows about education, but not many are aware of the emphasis placed on it. In this essay, I will be talking about education and it is a driver of success. Education makes us view obstacles as challenges to overcome with no fear; facing new things. It is the main factor behind successful people and the merit of developed countries. Therefore, education is deemed a real success behind any future success.
I will be emphasizing the need for one to be educated and enhance youths to take education very seriously! A good education is extremely essential for everyone to grow and succeed in life. It gives the ability to read and write to anyone. Education increases self-confidence and assists in developing the personality of a person. It plays a big role in our life. Now, imagine a world with uneducated people? There would be chaos right? It would be ghastly. Education paves the way for us to have a good career. We can have plenty of chances to work at any workplace we wish. It enhances the opportunities for a better and easier employment. The highly educated we are the better life chances we get.
The importance of education, cannot be overemphasized. I believe every being deserves the right to be educated one way or the other. It grants us a good status in society. Yes, as educated people, we are considered as a valuable source of knowledge in our society. Having an education helps us teach others necessary morals, good manners and wise ethics. Suppose my encounter with a parent, who wishes not to school his or her child. I would tell the parent, their child is being endangered. The child will lack morals and discipline.

I intend to study Chemical engineering at Princeton. Princeton’s dedication to undergraduate education is deep. I could build strong working relationships with professors who are leaders in their fields. The program at Princeton focuses on learning, creativity, innovation, and collaboration with a liberal arts program in literature, arts and social sciences, engineering, and natural sciences. I will explore a wide range of disciplines and develop an in-depth understanding of a concentration area. That is Chemical and Biomolecular engineering. I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality.
I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, and work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. Important radioisotopes have been discovered by chemical engineers. The development of STEM began with the Morrill Act of 1862, which established land concession universities to promote agricultural science (Britannica, 2019). After this, the Act also established engineering programs. Where other land grant establishments have emerged, STEM training has spread beyond education and has begun to penetrate the labor market.
STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes. A physicist at MIT administered the first human treatment, using RAI produced at the university to treat an MGH patient with hyperthyroidism .

STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes, favored the development of hydrocarbons, and helped researchers advance techniques to separate substances of analytical interest.
STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes. The development of the medical use of radioactive iodine (RAI), a fundamental scientific breakthrough of the twentieth century, is in the spotlight with the American Chemical Society’s National Historic Chemical Landmark designation. According to ACS, on March 31, 1941, Hertz and Arthur Roberts, Ph.D., a physicist at MIT administered the first human treatment, using RAI produced at MIT to treat an MGH patient with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Hertz and others later used RAI to diagnose and treat cancer. These advances and discoveries by other researchers laid the foundation for the modern field of nuclear medicine. Radioiodine and other radiopharmaceuticals are now routinely used in diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, saving, and improving the lives of millions of people.
STEM helped researchers advance techniques to separate substances of analytical interest. An example of this is gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometers operate according to a variety of different principles. The Bendix spectrometer used by Gohlke and McLafferty was an "airtime" instrument, which produces a spectrum based on how long it takes ions to pass through a long tube. Bendix began the commercialization of a GC-MS in 1959, but the first commercial success was the LKB Instruments Inc. 9000 model, which began in 1965 (ACS, 2021). The LKB instrument used a magnet to diffuse ions as Thomson had done years earlier. Other companies joined, including Finnigan Instruments, Perkin Elmer, and Hewlett Packard, now Agile. The GC-MS is now widely used for rapid testing in forensic pathology, environmental surveillance, athlete drug testing, and other applications.
STEM favored the development of hydrocarbons. A large number of hydrocarbons are present in nature. In addition to fossil fuels, they are found in trees and plants, such as pigments known as carotenes, which occur in carrots and green sheets. Over 98% of natural crude rubber is a polymer of hydrocarbons, a chain molecule composed of several interconnected units. The structures and chemistry of each hydrocarbon are largely dependent upon the types of chemical bonds that connect the atoms of their components. Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are currently considered the main energy source and materials for different industries and daily activities (Varjani and Upasani, 2016). Oil and natural gas are the main constituents of oil and gas.
These are used as fuels and lubricants, as well as raw materials for the production of plastics, fibers, rubber compounds, solvents, explosives, and industrial chemical products. The advancement of STEM in this career field is significant because it plays a vital role in food processing that helps companies make food consumable more affordably and healthily. Lastly, it helps lead to advances in health care, technology, and medicine.

Hobbies Matter
Exercise is my hobby. If more people learn that exercise helps prevent neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, more people will run to their local gym. Exercise helps reduce the incidence of diseases related to oxidative stress by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Deslandes et al., 2009). All diseases are associated with inflammation. Regular exercise increases your body's ability to reduce this inflammation. It may help slow the aging process in older people. I start small and slowly and consistently expand my exercise practice. Jumping with excessive weight training or aerobic exercise can be detrimental and reduce the desire to keep practicing. It is recommended to increase the activity level slowly and steadily. No one turns into a rock overnight.
Mental health improved through physical fitness. Gained increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which improves memory, clarity of thought, self-esteem, improved sleep, increased energy, resilience, and neurotransmission. Studies have shown that my exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effective as antidepressants, but of course without side effects. For example, Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running 15 minutes or walking an hour a day reduced the risk of major depression by 26%. Research shows that in addition to relieving symptoms of depression, following an exercise schedule can help prevent relapses.
Exercise is a powerful fight against depression for several reasons. Most important to me is to promote all sorts of changes in the brain, including nerve growth, reduced inflammation, and new patterns of activity that promote calm and well-being within me. It also releases endorphins, a powerful chemical in the brain, to raise and improve mood. Finally, exercise can also give you time to break free from the vicious cycle of negative thoughts that distract and promote depression. I try to exercise regularly because it gives me a great sense of well-being. I feel more energetic during the day, sleep better at night, have clearer memories, feel more relaxed, and have a positive outlook on my life and myself.
It is an effective drug for many common mental health problems. Regular exercise can have a very positive effect on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also reduces my stress, improves my memory, helps me sleep better, and improves my overall mood. In addition, you do not have to be a fitness enthusiast to enjoy the benefits. Studies show that moderate amounts of exercise can make a real difference. Regardless of my age or physical level, I can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to address mental health issues, improve my energy and outlook, and Make the most of life. I do not need to spend hours of my busy day working out in the gym, breaking out in bucket sweats, or running mile after mile to reap the full benefits of mental and physical health.
Moderate exercise for about 30 minutes 5 times a week is sufficient.

I have overcome hardships and challenges, considering I am from West Africa. The Nigerian energy supply crisis refers to the ongoing failure of the Nigerian power sector to provide adequate electricity supply to domestic households and industrial producers despite a rapidly growing economy, some of the world's largest deposits of coal, oil, and gas, and the country's status as Africa's largest oil producer. Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions.
At best, the average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lockdowns to aid fair distribution and predictability. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues, and has been ongoing for decades.
Most Nigerian businesses and households that can afford to do so run one or more diesel-fueled generators to supplement the intermittent supply. Since 2005, Nigerian power reforms have focused on privatizing the generator and distribution assets and encouraging private investment in the power sector. The government continues to control transmission assets whilst making "modest progress" in creating a regulatory environment attractive to foreign investors. Minor increases in the average daily power supply have been reported. We then moved to the United States hoping to get a better life.

I have overcome hardships and challenges, considering I am from West Africa. Electricity generation started in Nigeria in 1896 but the first electric utility company, known as the Nigerian Electricity Supply Company, was established in 1929. By the year 2000, a state-owned monopoly, the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), was in charge of the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power in Nigeria. It operated as a vertically integrated utility company and had a total generation capacity of about 6, 200 MW from 2 hydro and 4 thermal power plants. This resulted in an unstable and unreliable electric power supply situation in the country with customers exposed to frequent power cuts and a long period of power outages and an industry characterized by lack of maintenance of power infrastructure, outdated power plants, low revenues, high losses, power theft, and non-cost reflective tariffs.

In light of all this, there is a lot of literature surrounding different proposals of what might be done to help Nigeria develop its potential for renewable electricity. The development of renewable sources of energy is important for the future of the world. Nigeria has been in an energy crisis for a decade despite numerous attempts to reform the energy sector (Ejiogu, 2012). The only thing that remains is to figure out which energy source is most practical for Nigeria. The development of hydroelectricity does not seem practical because of the dependence on the seasons for the amount of water supply as well as the number of greenhouse gases it emits in the first 10 years of being built (Middleton, 2013). Wind energy has potential but is unreliable for consistent energy supply!

Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development.
In light of all this, there is a lot of literature surrounding different proposals of what might be done to help Nigeria develop its potential for renewable electricity. The development of renewable sources of energy is important for the future of the world. Nigeria has been in an energy crisis for a decade despite numerous attempts to reform the energy sector (Ejiogu, 2012). The only thing that remains is to figure out which energy source is most practical for Nigeria. The development of hydroelectricity does not seem practical because of the dependence on the seasons for the amount of water supply as well as the number of greenhouse gases it emits in the first 10 years of being built (Middleton, 2013). Wind energy has potential but is unreliable for consistent energy supply!
I then moved to the United States in the hope of a better life. I intend to study Chemical engineering at Princeton. Princeton’s dedication to undergraduate education is deep. I could build strong working relationships with professors who are leaders in their fields. The program at Princeton focuses on learning, creativity, innovation, and collaboration with a liberal arts program in literature, arts and social sciences, engineering, and natural sciences. I will explore a wide range of disciplines and develop an in-depth understanding of a concentration area. That is Chemical and Biomolecular engineering. I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, and work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. Important radioisotopes have been discovered by chemical and biomolecular engineers.

STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes. The development of the medical use of radioactive iodine (RAI), a fundamental scientific breakthrough of the twentieth century, is in the spotlight with the American Chemical Society’s National Historic Chemical Landmark designation. According to ACS, on March 31, 1941, Hertz and Arthur Roberts, Ph.D., a physicist at MIT administered the first human treatment, using RAI produced at MIT to treat an MGH patient with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Hertz and others later used RAI to diagnose and treat cancer. These advances and discoveries by other researchers laid the foundation for the modern field of nuclear medicine. Radioiodine and other radiopharmaceuticals are now routinely used in diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, saving, and improving the lives of millions of people.
STEM helped researchers advance techniques to separate substances of analytical interest. An example of this is gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometers operate according to a variety of different principles. The GC-MS is now widely used for rapid testing in forensic pathology, environmental surveillance, athlete drug testing, and other applications.
STEM favored the development of hydrocarbons. A large number of hydrocarbons are present in nature. In addition to fossil fuels, they are found in trees and plants, such as pigments known as carotenes, which occur in carrots and green sheets. Over 98% of natural crude rubber is a polymer of hydrocarbons, a chain molecule composed of several interconnected units. The structures and chemistry of each hydrocarbon are largely dependent upon the types of chemical bonds that connect the atoms of their components. Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are currently considered the main energy source and materials for different industries and daily activities (Varjani and Upasani, 2016). Oil and natural gas are the main constituents of oil and gas.
These are used as fuels and lubricants, as well as raw materials for the production of plastics, fibers, rubber compounds, solvents, explosives, and industrial chemical products. The advancement of STEM in this career field is significant because it plays a vital role in food processing that helps companies make food consumable more affordably and healthily.

In order to have meaningful lives, I can also see that certain things will need to be in play. I need to have relationships with others: not necessarily romantic ones (that’s been way overdone in our society), but connections of some kind where the important things are shared. It might, of course, be relationships with books or songs. I also need to have a culture conducive to fostering an understanding of oneself and the world. The enemies of this include being surrounded by mass media that throws out chaotic information or an academic environment that promotes dead, sterile investigations. I need to have good work, which means a world filled with businesses and organizations geared towards not just profit, but the assistance and genuine improvement of human kind.
In addition, I need to help people to discover their own particular inner ‘tune’ that they can put into their work, so that people aren’t just serving per se, but serving in a way that taps into their heartfelt interests. There are, sadly, a lot of obstacles to meaningful lives. In the area of communication: it’s things like an over-emphasis on sex, an underplaying of friendship, a lack of neighborliness or an absence of nourishing culture. It’s also, at an internal level, bugs in one’s emotional software that make one afraid to get close to others. To build a more meaningful world, I have to place the emphasis on emotional education, on community, on a culture of introspection and on a more honest kind of capitalism. I may not have a meaningful life yet, but it’s central to affirm that the concept of a meaningful life is eminently plausible.
My goal is to have a smooth education and be a chemical engineer. Education paves the way for us to have a good career. We can have plenty of chances to work at any workplace we wish. It enhances the opportunities for a better and easier employment. Having a smooth education helps me teach others necessary morals, good manners and wise ethics. It has helped shape my worldview because it helps in creating more employment opportunities. Finding a job is not easy, especially in times of economic turmoil. One often needs to compete with hundreds of other candidates for a vacant position. In addition, the lower the education level, the greater the number of people applying for the same low-paying entry-level post. However, with the right qualifications and educational background, one will increase one's chances of landing a fulfilling job.
It has helped me in learning to secure a higher income. People with higher education and varied experience are more likely to get high-paying, expert jobs. I would study hard, dedicate my time and effort to acquire knowledge and reach a high level of competence because I would like to lead a comfortable lifestyle. My credentials are what will motivate a potential employer to choose me instead of another candidate. Studying hard throughout my school and studies shows I am not afraid of hard work and is able to fulfill my goals. Employers see this as a huge advantage as they all prefer a responsible and knowledgeable workforce. Once I graduate, I can start searching for jobs that will give me the opportunity to practice what I have learned and, at the same time, secure sufficient pay for my needs.

I am a responsible person. I try not to be the person who blames others or makes excuses. One of the most important keys to success is having the discipline to do what I know I should do even when I do not feel like doing it--and those daily decisions often involve taking responsibility for my own choices and actions. I always remember that my actions do affect other people, so I am always being careful with what I say and do. I want to become a chemical engineer.

I have overcome hardships and challenges, considering I am from West Africa. The Nigerian energy supply crisis refers to the ongoing failure of the Nigerian power sector to provide adequate electricity supply to domestic households and industrial producers despite a rapidly growing economy, some of the world's largest deposits of coal, oil, and gas, and the country's status as Africa's largest oil producer. Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions.
At best, average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lock downs to aid fair distribution and predictability. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues, and has been ongoing for decades.
Most Nigerian businesses and households that can afford to do so run one or more diesel-fueled generators to supplement the intermittent supply. Since 2005, Nigerian power reforms have focused on privatizing the generator and distribution assets and encouraging private investment in the power sector. The government continues to control transmission assets whilst making "modest progress" in creating a regulatory environment attractive to foreign investors. Minor increases in average daily power supply have been reported. We then moved to the United States hoping to get a better life.
We faced the challenge of buying a car. Prices for both new and used cars are high. The surge is driven in part by the global chip shortage, which is straining new-car inventories. This has led more consumers to shop the preowned market, increasing demand for used cars and eroding dealer inventories. Many consumers will find that they have to compromise and be flexible when purchasing. On average, new cars are still more expensive than used cars. In June, the average transaction price for a new vehicle was $39,942, an increase of 14% from June 2020, according to the research firm J.D. Power. The average transaction price for a used vehicle was $27,984, up 24% from June 2020.
If my family is willing to buy an older used car, we might be able to get a better deal because we won’t be competing with buyers who will pay more for newer, low-mileage cars. Incentives for purchasing are at their lowest in years. But there are some discounts that are often available, such as money off for recent college graduates or members of the military. Some employers offer friends-and-family discounts for certain manufacturers. We might also try a club membership that offers auto discounts, such as at Costco. We should also try calling around to various dealerships to determine whether they can be flexible on price, and whether they might have information about vehicles that aren’t yet listed.

Chemical Engineers figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. They also design and improve the development processes of these products. Chemical engineers work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality, they challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, and they work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. STEM has advanced this field of study. The development of STEM began with the Morrill Act of 1862, which established land concession universities to promote agricultural science (Britannica, 2019).
After this, the Act also established engineering programs. Where other land grant establishments have emerged, STEM training has spread beyond education and has begun to penetrate the labor market. STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes, brings together researchers, educators, decision-makers and the public to discover innovative approaches in chemical engineering. It has also favored the development of hydrocarbons.
While STEM may be necessary for technological advancement, I believe that without the arts, students cannot reach their full potential because the visual arts give students the freedom to use the power of STEM subjects. This increases interaction, makes STEM topics more interesting and thought-provoking, and increases student engagement. The use of the arts in science education for children has demonstrated benefits such as improved creativity, improved academic performance, improved motor skills, improved decision-making skills, improved visual learning, and improved learning experiences.

I plan to live a sense of creativity in the world. I take pictures. I carry a small camera and take pictures that inspire me. When I walk, I take pictures of wildflowers, photos of smiling faces, marshmallows, and a pile of coffee mugs. Sipping hot chocolate with the brothers at a local café. Then I collect and edit some nice photos. I discard the rest. If I do it regularly, I can observe the beauty of everyday life no matter what creative medium I use to inspire my work. I surround myself with perfection. Pablo Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal." In other words, good people learn from better people, and better people learn from the best people. Surrounded by people who keep me encouraged and focused, I can develop my creativity.
So there are a lot of talented people around me, and I am learning from them. It is not only about being surrounded by talented people but about knowledge. I do not limit myself. I am always learning and experiencing many new things. This develops my creativity. I am battling my fear of failure. The fear that I might make a big mistake or fail to try something new can paralyze my creativity. It should always be remembered that mistakes could be made. This is only part of the creative process. Many great hearts suffer from the fear of failure, but they never gave up and kept trying until they succeeded. However, to overcome the fear of failure, I analyze all possible outcomes, develop an emergency response plan, and think about the worst-case scenarios. This helps me regain my confidence and start over with complete confidence.
Bold Bucket List Scholarship
High School Senior consistently named to the Honor Roll, 2021-2022 Member of the National Honor Society. I have largely participated in community service in my community. I see, giving back to the community as an integral part of one's life. I volunteer in Allison Hill Farmers' Market (AHFM) of Harrisburg and Recycle Bicycle. These services and activities help me see the world from a different perspective. "Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice"- Mandela. I believe each human life has the same value.
In rural communities, when I volunteer at Recycle Bicycle in Harrisburg, people have difficulty meeting their most fundamental human needs as well as food, water, clothing, and shelter. Our organization fights poverty using simple and durable measures. We are not here to offer charitable cycling services. We are working to give more power to people who are born with the chances they have against them. With a bike, people have the tool they need to get to the basics, so they can pursue a better future. The mission of Recycle Bicycle is to offer all residents of the greater Harrisburg area, in particular those who have limited means, access to safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable means of transportation through cycling.

Bold Goals Scholarship
I intend to study Chemical engineering at Princeton. Princeton’s dedication to undergraduate education is deep. I could build strong working relationships with professors who are leaders in their fields. The program at Princeton focuses on learning, creativity, innovation, and collaboration with a liberal arts program in literature, arts and social sciences, engineering, and natural sciences. I will explore a wide range of disciplines and develop an in-depth understanding of a concentration area. That is Chemical and Biomolecular engineering. I want to figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. I also want to design and improve the development processes of these products. I want to work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality. I want to challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, and work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. Important radioisotopes have been discovered by chemical and biomolecular engineers.
According to ACS, on March 31, 1941, Hertz and Arthur Roberts, Ph.D., a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology administered the first human treatment, using RAI produced at MIT to treat an MGH patient with hyperthyroidism. Hertz and others later used RAI to diagnose and treat cancer. These advances and discoveries by other researchers laid the foundation for the modern field of nuclear medicine. Radioiodine and other radiopharmaceuticals are now routinely used in diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, saving, and improving the lives of millions of people. The programs offered at the University suit my particular interests, because I have a flair for chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I love to discover new things and get solutions to world problems!
Robert Lee, Sr. and Bernice Williams Memorial Scholarship
I have overcome hardships and challenges, considering I am from West Africa. Electricity generation started in Nigeria in 1896 but the first electric utility company, known as the Nigerian Electricity Supply Company, was established in 1929. By the year 2000, a state-owned monopoly, the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), was in charge of the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power in Nigeria. It operated as a vertical integrated utility company and had a total generation capacity of about 6, 200 MW from 2 hydro and 4 thermal power plants. This resulted in an unstable and unreliable electric power supply situation in the country with customers exposed to frequent power cuts and long period of power outages and an industry characterized by lack of maintenance of power infrastructure, outdated power plants, low revenues, high losses, power theft and non-cost reflective tariffs.
The Nigerian energy supply crisis refers to the ongoing failure of the Nigerian power sector to provide adequate electricity supply to domestic households and industrial producers despite a rapidly growing economy, some of the world's largest deposits of coal, oil, and gas and the country's status as Africa's largest oil producer. Currently, only 45% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions. At best, average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lock downs to aid fair distribution and predictability. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial, and mining sectors and impede Nigeria's ongoing economic development.
The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues, and has been ongoing for decades. Most Nigerian businesses and households that can afford to do so run one or more diesel-fueled generators to supplement the intermittent supply. Since 2005, Nigerian power reforms have focused on privatizing the generator and distribution assets and encouraging private investment in the power sector. The government continues to control transmission assets whilst making "modest progress" in creating a regulatory environment attractive to foreign investors. Minor increases in average daily power supply have been reported.
In light of all this, there is a lot of literature surrounding different proposals of what might be done to help Nigeria develop its potential for renewable electricity. The development of renewable sources of energy is important for the future of the world. Nigeria has been in an energy crisis for a decade despite numerous attempts to reform the energy sector (Ejiogu, 2012). The only thing that remains is to figure out which energy source is most practical for Nigeria. The development of hydroelectricity does not seem practical because of the dependence on the seasons for the amount of water supply[15] as well as the amount of greenhouse gases it emits in the first 10 years of being built (Middleton, 2013). Wind energy has potential but is unreliable for consistent energy supply!
Elevate Mental Health Awareness Scholarship
If more people knew the benefits of exercise on avoidance of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease, more people would be running to join a local gym. Exercise helps me increase my ROS (reactive oxygen species), resulting in decreases in the incidence of oxidative stress-related diseases (Deslandes et al., 2009). All disease has links to inflammation. Regular exercise increases my body’s ability to reduce that inflammation. This can help in slowing the aging process of the elderly. I start small and grow my exercise practice slowly and consistently. Jumping in with excessive weight training or aerobic exercise can be harmful and lessen the willingness for me to continue with the practice. I recommend a slow, steady increase in levels of activity. Nobody becomes The Rock overnight.
I have benefitted from mental health through physical fitness by having sharper memory ,clarity in my thinking, higher self-esteem, better sleep, increased energy, stronger resilience, increased BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which improves my neurotransmission. Studies show that my exercise can treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressant medication—but without the side-effects, of course.
As one example, a recent study done by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running for 15 minutes a day or walking for an hour reduces the risk of major depression by 26%. In addition to relieving depression symptoms, research also shows that maintaining an exercise schedule can prevent me from relapsing. Exercise is a powerful depression fighter for several reasons. Most importantly for me, it promotes all kinds of changes in the brain, including neural growth, reduced inflammation, and new activity patterns that promote feelings of calm and well-being in me. It also releases endorphins, powerful chemicals in my brain that energize my spirits and make me feel good. Finally, exercise can also serve as a distraction, allowing me to find some quiet time to break out of the cycle of negative thoughts that feed depression.
I tend to exercise regularly because it gives me an enormous sense of well-being. I feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about myself and my life. And it’s also a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges. My regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves my stress, improves my memory, helps me sleep better, and boosts my overall mood. And I don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to reap the benefits. Research indicates that modest amounts of exercise can make a real difference. No matter my age or fitness level, I can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to deal with mental health problems, improve my energy and outlook, and get more out of life.
I don’t need to devote hours out of my busy day to train at the gym, sweat buckets, or run mile after monotonous mile to reap all the physical and mental health benefits of exercise. Just 30-minutes of moderate exercise five times a week is enough for me. And even that can be broken down into two 15-minute or even three 10-minute exercise sessions if that’s easier for me.
Robert F. Lawson Fund for Careers that Care
I can be true assets to my teams. I am a person who excels in terms of skills and responsibilities. Results-driven and motivated, I work to a high standard, with little need for supervision or hand-holding. I am ambitious, goal-focused, a self-disciplined individual, who is driven by a strong personal desire to accomplish meaningful, important goals. I take charge easily and display natural leadership qualities – often helping fellow team members achieve their goals.
I have strong long-term focus and self-discipline . I like to set a goal, and then work persistently towards it until it has been completed. I frequently have an internal locus of control . I believe that me, and the people I hang out with, are responsible for where I'll end up in life. I like to be the "go to" person in my team, company or industry, and is willing to put in the effort needed to develop my expertise – often pursuing professional development on my own. I typically have a positive mind-set. I see challenging projects as opportunities, not threats. My positive outlook helps me overcome setbacks and stick with a task until it's complete. I want to be a chemical engineer.
Chemical Engineers figure out how to reform chemicals and raw materials into products that humans can benefit from. They also design and improve the development processes of these products. Chemical engineers work on food production and develop strategies to enhance food quality, they challenge the environment by developing systems that reduce pollution, and they work to increase the efficiency of energy sources such as oil and gas, or develop fibers that make clothing more sustainable. STEM has advanced this field of study. The development of STEM began with the Morrill Act of 1862, which established land concession universities to promote agricultural science (Britannica, 2019). Subsequent to this, the Act also established engineering programs. Where other land grant establishments have emerged, STEM training has spread beyond education and has begun to penetrate the labor market. STEM promoted the discovery of important radioisotopes, brings together researchers, educators, decision-makers and the public to discover innovative approaches in chemical engineering. It has also favored the development of hydrocarbons.
Bold Selfless Acts Scholarship
Being selfless helps me identify and connect with others and that in and of itself is rewarding.
It helps squash my egos because I am not acting out of pride or for a desire to be noticed.
Selflessness helps me act from my heart and soul instead of my ego, tapping into my true desired feelings. It helps improve my relationships – rather than expecting my S.O. or friend to make me feel a certain way, I can shift my focus to being in the relationship for the other person.
It’s contagious. I want to be around generous, loving, giving people. These are the people that ultimately make the world a better place. And I can practice selflessness in my relationships, marriages, and friendships every day.
Rather than thinking how this relationship is supposed to make me feel, I shift the focus and make it about the other person. Think, “May you be happy” and “I am in this for you.” Notice how it impacts my relationships and my connections with others who are close to me. I hold all these expectations for my loved ones – parents, siblings, S.O.’s, friends, and by holding these expectations, often times I come up disappointed. By shifting the attention and purpose back to them and how I can help them, I'm changing the dialogue and the connection. I am setting myself up for contentment.
Bold Gratitude Scholarship
I take 2-3 minutes each morning to give thanks, to whoever or whatever I'm grateful for. I don’t have to do anything, other than close my eyes and silently give thanks. This one act can make a huge difference. I say thank you. When someone does something nice for me, however small, I try to remember to say thank you. And really mean it. I also call to say thanks. Sometimes I might think about something nice that someone did for me. Perhaps I remember during my gratitude session. When I do, I pick up the phone and call the person, just to say thanks. Letting them know what they did that I'm grateful for, and why I appreciate it. It takes a minute or two. If it’s too early to call, I make a note to call later. Even better is telling them in person, if I happen to see them or if they’re on my route.
Almost as good is a thank-you email — I keep it short and sweet. I give thanks for “negative” things in my life. There’s always two ways to look at something. Many times I think of something as negative — it’s stressful, harmful, sad, unfortunate, difficult. But that same thing can be looked at in a more positive way. Giving thanks for those things is a great way to remind myself that there is good in just about everything. Problems can be seen as opportunities to grow, to be creative. I try to learn a gratitude prayer. There are many prayers, religious or not, that can remind me to be grateful. I find one I like, and print it out or make it my desktop wallpaper.

“Let America Be America Again”
By Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967)
Written in 1935
Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
(America never was America to me.)
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed—
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.)
O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.
(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek—
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.
I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!
I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean—
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today—O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.
Yet I'm the one who dreamt our basic dream
In the Old World while still a serf of kings,
Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,
That even yet its mighty daring sings
In every brick and stone, in every furrow turned
That's made America the land it has become.
O, I'm the man who sailed those early seas
In search of what I meant to be my home—
For I'm the one who left dark Ireland's shore,
And Poland's plain, and England's grassy lea,
And torn from Black Africa's strand I came
To build a "homeland of the free."
The free?
Who said the free? Not me?
Surely not me? The millions on relief today?
The millions shot down when we strike?
The millions who have nothing for our pay?
For all the dreams we've dreamed
And all the songs we've sung
And all the hopes we've held
And all the flags we've hung,
The millions who have nothing for our pay—
Except the dream that's almost dead today.
O, let America be America again—
The land that never has been yet—
And yet must be—the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine—the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME—
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.
Sure, call me any ugly name you choose—
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!
O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath—
America will be!
Bold Meaning of Life Scholarship
The meaning of life is to pursue human flourishing through communication, understanding and service. In order to have meaningful lives, I can also see that certain things will need to be in play. I need to have relationships with others: not necessarily romantic ones (that’s been way overdone in our society), but connections of some kind where the important things are shared. It might, of course, be relationships with books or songs. I also need to have a culture conducive to fostering an understanding of oneself and the world. The enemies of this include being surrounded by mass media that throws out chaotic information or an academic environment that promotes dead, sterile investigations. I need to have good work, which means a world filled with businesses and organizations geared towards not just profit, but the assistance and genuine improvement of human kind. In addition, I need to help people to discover their own particular inner ‘tune’ that they can put into their work, so that people aren’t just serving per se, but serving in a way that taps into their heartfelt interests. There are, sadly, a lot of obstacles to meaningful lives. In the area of communication: it’s things like an over-emphasis on sex, an underplaying of friendship, a lack of neighborliness or an absence of nourishing culture. It’s also, at an internal level, bugs in one’s emotional software that make one afraid to get close to others. To build a more meaningful world, I have to place the emphasis on emotional education, on community, on a culture of introspection and on a more honest kind of capitalism. I may not have a meaningful life yet, but it’s central to affirm that the concept of a meaningful life is eminently plausible.
Bold Relaxation Scholarship
I stay positive. It's important to try to have a positive outlook; some ways I do that include
finding balance between positive and negative emotions. Staying positive doesn't mean that I never feel negative emotions, such as sadness or anger. I need to feel them so that I can move through difficult situations. They can help me to respond to a problem. But I don't want those emotions to take over. For example, it's not helpful to keep thinking about bad things that happened in the past or worry too much about the future. Trying to hold on to the positive emotions when I have them; taking a break from negative information. Knowing when to stop watching or reading the news. Using social media to reach out for support and feeling connected to others but being careful. I don't fall for rumors, get into arguments, or negatively compare my life to others.
Practicing gratitude, which means being thankful for the good things in my life. It's helpful to do this every day, either by thinking about what I am grateful for or writing it down in a journal. These can be big things, such as the support I have from loved ones, or little things, such as enjoying a nice meal. It's important to allow myself a moment to enjoy that I had the positive experience. Practicing gratitude can help me to see my life differently. For example, when I am stressed, I may not notice that there are also moments when I have some positive emotions. Gratitude can help me to recognize them. Taking care of my physical health, since my physical and mental health are connected. Being physically active. Exercise can reduce feelings of stress and depression and improve my mood. Getting enough sleep.

I join community meetings. I take the floor when issues that concern equality and discrimination are discussed or bring them into discussion. I believe adding a human rights perspective to the decision making process is a crucial task. I would want to teach children and adults by running a workshop on equality for community members, tutor immigrant children or refugees in my community. Provide support on basic tasks such as filling out forms, taking the public transport or visiting health services. I organize events like photo exhibition, public debates or local meet-ups to draw attention to inequality issues. Also, invite members of my local community to attend and engage in a dialogue. I support my neighborhood. Supporting people in my community that live at the edges of society – homeless persons, asylum seekers, refugees, people with little or no income. And visiting a local homeless shelter or asylum center and offering my help. I plan to create a community newsletter
offering a human rights perspective on issues that happen in our community. I support local organizations. By joining forces with local charities and civil society organizations to tackle discrimination in my community.
Bold Fuel Your Life Scholarship
Goals fuel my life. My goal is to have a smooth education and be a chemical engineer. Education paves the way for us to have a good career. We can have plenty of chances to work at any workplace we wish. It enhances the opportunities for a better and easier employment. Having a smooth education helps me teach others necessary morals, good manners and wise ethics. It has helped shape my worldview because it helps in creating more employment opportunities. Finding a job is not easy, especially in times of economic turmoil. One often needs to compete with hundreds of other candidates for a vacant position. In addition, the lower the education level, the greater the number of people applying for the same low-paying entry-level post. However, with the right qualifications and educational background, one will increase one's chances of landing a fulfilling job.
It has helped me in learning to secure a higher income. People with higher education and varied experience are more likely to get high-paying, expert jobs. I would study hard, dedicate my time and effort to acquire knowledge and reach a high level of competence because I would like to lead a comfortable lifestyle. My credentials are what will motivate a potential employer to choose me instead of another candidate. Studying hard throughout my school and studies shows I am not afraid of hard work and is able to fulfill my goals. Employers see this as a huge advantage as they all prefer a responsible and knowledgeable workforce. Once I graduate, I can start searching for jobs that will give me the opportunity to practice what I have learned and, at the same time, secure sufficient pay for my needs.
Bold Reflection Scholarship
My school is exclusively all online, and as it is such a huge change from what I was typically used to, having to do everything at home had caused me to face a lot of different challenges that I did not expect. Things that were so easy for me before the pandemic now pose as a new challenge, Such as asking a question during class, being able to stay focused while learning, and getting help from my teachers before after school. On top of that, for me, transitioning from having a couple of months with absolutely no responsibilities, to suddenly having eight immensely difficult classes has posed to be quite a challenge. I find it really hard to stay motivated and stay focused, but more importantly, sitting in front of a screen for literally the whole day is both physically and mentally draining.
At the beginning of the year, I significantly struggled with staying focused and not distracted during class. To combat these difficulties, I have tried to create my own “work environment” getting rid of any distractions, to try to be as motivated and productive as I can. But although there are many negative side effects of at home learning, I do feel that it is necessary at this time. As much as I would enjoy seeing all my friends and classmates in person, the reality is that we are in a pandemic and if we have to wait a while to ensure that everyone will be safe, before we can enjoy the company of one another, than that is just what we will have to do. Hopefully 2022 will be better.

Bold Passion Scholarship
I am passionate about education. Yes, everyone knows about education, but not many are aware of the emphasis placed on it. In this essay, I will be talking about education and it is a driver of success. Education makes us view obstacles as challenges to overcome with no fear; facing new things. It is the main factor behind successful people and the merit of developed countries. Therefore, education is deemed a real success behind any future success.
I will be emphasizing the need for one to be educated and enhance youths to take education very seriously! A good education is extremely essential for everyone to grow and succeed in life. It gives the ability to read and write to anyone. Education increases self-confidence and assists in developing the personality of a person. It plays a big role in our life. Now, imagine a world with uneducated people? There would be chaos right? It would be ghastly. Education paves the way for us to have a good career. We can have plenty of chances to work at any workplace we wish. It enhances the opportunities for a better and easier employment. The highly educated we are the better life chances we get.
The importance of education, cannot be overemphasized. I believe every being deserves the right to be educated one way or the other. It grants us a good status in society. Yes, as educated people, we are considered as a valuable source of knowledge in our society. Having an education helps us teach others necessary morals, good manners and wise ethics. Suppose my encounter with a parent, who wishes not to school his or her child. I would tell the parent, their child is being endangered. The child will lack morals and discipline.
