FinalistBio
I am a senior that goes to Hapeville Charter Career Academy. I graduate with my high school diploma and an Associate degree, GPA: 4.0. I will major in English to get my bachelor's degree as a journalist.
My passion in this world is to become someone more significant than my family history. I want to break generational curses that have left many individuals in my family stuck at many hardships that were supposed to help me see wiser than before. We are living at the end of times I want to become all that God has for me to become with my goals, dreams, visions, and passion in life to keep loving God with all my heart, mind, and soul each day that God has given me to repent and get another opportunity to be alive again. I will be so thankful to receive all the scholarships I have been applying to because I know my God sits up high and look down low to the chosen ones that have been going through the good works of God. Through all the pain and struggle I had to go through to become what I am now, it was worth it—having many scholarships that I am accepted to have will encourage me to continue living because all my hard work shall pay off. These scholarships will help me the financial I have been dealing with my family that we did not think we would make through the pandemic having us shut down and be at home, something that everyone is still surprised by the world lockdown. However, I know these scholarships and awards that will be in my name. God has planned it all for a reason.

Bold Joy Scholarship
Your past is not your future unless you live there – and living there prevents you from learning how to find joy in the present. In the last years as I was growing up I started to let go of people who don’t make me feel joy – or who actively work against it isn’t always easy. Sometimes it can be hard to get over people but I have to remember myself it is for the better in the long run because I don't want to be angry, sad, or mean around people who like my motivation. However, I learned that I can not find joy in toxic negative relationships because it will cause me to behold back on what God has for me to be a blessed life. I pray that the path that I am going on is right and I also believe that if it was too much God would have never kept in this stage of my life. I wake up adding different pictures and ideas to my vision board I don't want to be in life living off of how I feel every day that is not healthy.
Bold Dream Big Scholarship
My potential pay scale for my career choice of a writer will be $40,000 as a freelance writer because you can choose your own hours, select your assignments, and work at your own pace. I will be surprised by just how much money I will be making as a freelance writer. As a freelance writer will be kind like a technical writer you must communicate right, prepare instruction manuals, how to guides, journal articles, and other supporting documents to communicate complex and technical information more easily. Even though I may have a lot of tough times trying to time to get everything in order so I can have time to myself. My first thought of my potential pay scale for a writer I would be making 60,000 a year. Especially, if you are going to be a technical writer dealing with online work all day, you must make sure you manage your time to help other students who may need your guides. For example, being online anything can happen if a student had reach out to you for some help with a book or an article and they had forgot about starting with you, you should get extra money. Technical writer pay scale says that the average salary for writers in their first 5 years of freelancing is roughly $40,000. However, the average hourly wage is $24.37, which means I will have to work for 52 leading to 40-hours workweeks, would mean a salary over $50,000 a year. This will lead into my employment outlook for a technical writer. The research shows, in 2016, the median pay for technical writers was about $69,850 a year at approximately $33.58 an hour. Amazing something I want to do.
Bold Caring for Seniors Scholarship
Help them recognize the illness that losing their child-caring role causes many mental issues, loss of employment through retirement, a move from home to a retirement community, chronic illness or pain, death of a spouse or close friends, loss of independence. If you want to help, your senior adult find purpose, put them to work! It doesn't have to be anything more than helping cook a meal, babysitting a grandchild, taking care of a pet. If they can do it, don't always do it for them. I remember multiple times I helped with the seniors, fed them cook and played with them; they have taught me a lot, but mainly all of them needed that one-on-one time with me to show them that life goes on, but they have not forgotten God has a plan for them.
Bold Success Scholarship
My career choice is a dancer or a writer. I love to write and dance to get my mind off things that might be bothering me. Writing helps me calm down any emotions or how I was feeling that day or any other day. However, other people might think writing is boring cause it’s too much. Dancing is another thing that I enjoy. I used to be shy in dancing in front of a lot of people. But a few years later I was in Miami with my family members and I had asked my mom can I go dance over there? She said yes, you can. And I said thank you so much, mom. Long story short I was on the stage dancing my behind off, making my family members smile, and having a good time. My first time having a dance class in the 1st grade was fun, great, and joyful. I would always think to myself like one day I’m going to be a dancer and I’m going to have a lot of money. My first time writing about my life story was in the 4th grade. I was just trying something new like let’s see if this writing would help me out. A few years later I love to write. I know can’t nobody tell me what to do about my writing cause it’s about my life story, not nobody else. My potential pay scale for my career choice of a writer will be $40,000 as a freelance writer because you can choose your hours, select your assignments, and work at your own pace. I will be surprised by just how much money I will be making as a freelance writer.
Bold Reflection Scholarship
Life is going well right now; I am using my time wisely because I want to accomplish goals this year since it will be my last year in high school; I want to publish a book one day and have my bachelor's degree in 2 years. Over the past few years, I have been reading books of textbooks. I have seen how some professors can score topics, and I realize everyone has their own assumptions about how they do things to become a writer. I researched some common ways to help me as a writer with my assumptions. Here are some ways I didn't know I would have to think like as a writer. Some assumptions about writing and learning to write, the most important thing that influences your growth as a writer, is a belief that you can learn to write well. Another one, the best way for you to develop as a writer is to develop excellent reading skills. Practice is the key to your development as a writer. The more you write, the more you will improve. A positive start begets feelings of confidence, while a negative start begets feelings of inadequacy, both of which can really affect your ability to grow as a writer. I took a job teaching developmental writing, a course aimed at helping students brush up on that writing skills. Before they took mainstream college writing courses, they asked me to teach my students the formal rules of grammar. Advice, therefore, is to read a lot even if you don't like it and read what you enjoy. You don't have to analyze every sentence. Let the words do their work subconsciously and fill you with all the institutional goodness you will need to become a talented writer.
Bold Be You Scholarship
I acknowledge and accept my feelings as they can be accommodating. Spiritually praying everything to ask Lord God, You have taught us that You have a plan for each one of us. Your hand guides our steps and provides us with all we need. Because You are good, You want only the best for us. Good and gracious God, I ask that Your pathway will manifest in my life is helps me to stay focused during this season of my life. Also acknowledging our feelings, we admitted the problem, causing those feelings, and reacted to find a solution. Hiding those emotions and feelings would not help you feel better; instead, you will feel dejected. So, let it all go; stop holding on to the past. Learn how to grow and make every day the best memories you can remember when it is time for you to go. Each of us is unique and has an individuality to our name. Be respectful of the opinions of others, but don't act on it if it will change who you are. That decision is yours and yours only.
Bold Selfless Acts Scholarship
Indeed, being selfless means caring about others and acting on the desire to help others, without expectation of or desire for compensation for helping. Acting selfless can help us connect with other people because helping others makes us feel good, and the other person experiences feelings of gratitude. As a result, we bond with each other a little each time we help each other out. There are many ways in which we can practice acting selflessly, which may not come as a surprise, but the number one way is to start with the goal of performing one random act of kindness per day. It doesn't have to be the same thing every day, and it can be anything from holding the door open for someone to giving a hug to someone who needs it to help a friend move their stuff to their new house. As long as you are helping for the sake of helping, you're practicing selflessness.
Bold Meaning of Life Scholarship
The meaning of our life, its purpose, and justification are to fulfill the expectations of God and then to receive our last reward. Sadly, it might be challenging to see any meaning of life at all here. But within the internal view of meaning, we can argue that meaning is best found in activities that benefit others, the community, or the Earth as a whole. The meaning of life for individuals may diminish or fade due to decline or difficult or tragic circumstances. The meaning is also likely to change from one phase of life to another because of personal development, new interests, contexts, commitments, and maturity. I have had my share of failures or mistakes to learn time assessment and management at this point in my career. I feel that failures vitally shape you.
Bold Self-Care Scholarship
Suppose you follow some basics of self-care, such as exercising, eating right, and reducing or eliminating alcohol or tobacco products. In that case, you can accomplish: Likely enjoy a more extended and high-quality life. Reduce your risk of certain diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and coronary artery disease. Boost your overall energy. The idea or action of self-care can mean many things, depending on each individual. Self-care is an important habit to implement in your life because it helps balance and ground you when things become stressful or difficult. Self-care can improve your self-esteem and give you a more positive outlook on a situation just by helping yourself.
Self-care is essential because it can help you recharge and reset your mindset to turn your day around. It can help you be in a better mood than you were before. When you are stressed out and incredibly busy, you may find that your self-care intentions are lacking. Here, the main three self-care you need to focus on with your physical self-care is figuring out a way to nourish your body to help it work properly. However, it could encompass realizing the right balance of physical activity and rest for you individually to care for your body as long as it feels restful and enjoyable. Spirituality and religion can reap many benefits for many people's well-being. Engaging in spiritual self-care can provide you with a connection to a higher being and provide you with a reliant support system. Finding your spiritual ground can help you realize your purpose for your life. Social self-care Connecting with other people can help you feel more invested in other people's lives. It can help you find people who have similar triumphs and challenges that you do.
Bold Hobbies Scholarship
My career choice is a dancer or a writer. I love to write and dance to get my mind off things that might bother me. However, it helps me get many things off my chest, such as dealing with problems. My first time going to be a dancer was in the 2nd grade and my first time writing every day about my life was in the 4th grade. I had fallen in love with w people can move and work on their bodies to help them clear their minds from stuff that might be stressing them out. Another I love is cardio-boxing. It gives me this great feeling to punch the problems I am dealing with, letting it all go. I feel sore afterward, but it is worth it because I want the best to continue writing a book to help youth trust God. But praying, dancing, writing, cardio-boxing are my hobbies. I am passionate about them; they are part of me to stay focused and clean.
Bold Empathy Scholarship
Being empathetic is a valuable trait and is an integral part of being a good person and kind to those around you. You can always become more empathetic by treating others with compassion and seeing things from their point of view. Practicing empathy is one of the most considerable skills you can learn. In a world that spends so much time picking at flaws and igniting fear and anger in people, empathy can be a balm to that fear and anger. It can help you and others lead a more fulfilling and healthier life. Empathy is a two-way street. It's about sharing vulnerabilities and emotional connections, so you have to share your inner landscape with someone else to practice empathy truly. However, it doesn't mean that you have to spill your life story to every person you meet. You get to decide who you're going to share yourself with. It gives them ideas to stay focused trust the process because God loves when people speak life to people who need a change of heart. Therefore, to practice empathy, you have to be open to the possibility and the opportunity of opening up, especially with the people you least expect to. If you know the person well, hug them, put an arm around their shoulders, or put a hand on their arm. Not only does this show that your attention is focused on them, but it creates a connection between the two of you. Offering help can be as simple as making sure someone has enough chance to ride the bus or buying coffee for the person behind you in line how it works; it can offer to take care of your sister's kids for the weekend so she can take a break.
Bold Fuel Your Life Scholarship
My career choice is a dancer or a writer. I love to write and dance to get my mind off things that might bother me. Writing helps me calm any emotions or feelings that day or any other day. However, other people might think writing is boring cause it's too much. Dancing is another thing that I enjoy. I used to be shy in dancing in front of many people. But a few years later, I was in Miami with my family members and asked my mom if I could go dance over there? She said yes, you can. And I said thank you so much, mom.
Long story short, I was on the stage dancing my behind off, making my family members smile, and having a good time. My first time had a dance class in the 1st grade; it was fun, fabulous, and joyful. I would always think to myself, like one day, I will be a dancer and have a lot of money. My first time writing about my life story was in the 4th grade. I was trying something new, like let's see if this writing would help me out. A few years later, I love to write. I know can't nobody tell me what to do about my writing cause it's about my life story, not nobody else. For example, if you deal with big things that people can't understand and don't want to tell them about it. I know one major critical problem solver for whatever you might think about it, so do it. I know that writing it out and explaining your feelings, thoughts, and emotions on paper can help you out in your life.
Bold Speak Your Mind Scholarship
I stay committed to speaking my mind by breaking down what life offers many surprising moments that sometimes I will be good or down but I pray to stay faithful. After all, it is a reason why I am going through so I speak the truth. After all, my heart is full of wise words that I know it is true because I saw it in the Bible that keeps me committed to trusting in God with all of my heart. So, having joy helps me keep a great mindset to stay committed to the goals I set for myself. Some may even teach you lessons the hard way. There may be stumbling blocks along the road, but it shouldn't keep you from going out there and reaching your destination. In the Bible, it speaks about joy. Our experiences, it is whether traumatic or joyful, it is always supposed to shape who we are to live better than what we have seemed, especially if we have self-discipline. There is a "joy in believing" that we may experience. Like our Savior, if we fix our faith in the Lord, fully confident of his purposes, promises, and power, though we may face many trials of our faith, we may experience the "joy of faith," including expecting the fulness of joy that will be ours in the Father's presence when he has raised us from the dead. I seek joy by praying and loving God how I love myself, asking for his joy and peace every day because people will try you if you are not humble and kind. That is why it is meaningful to have joy in your heart because you don't want to trigger anyone to hurt, so love everyone and treat yourself with the respect you deserve.
Bold Encouraging Others Scholarship
The most important I love to speak about God to people who need to listen because everything happens for a reason; speaking the truth about life can always lift people out of the darkness, controlling them to stay by themselves. For example, God said to show the world what he has created us to do on earth for people to love and follow Jesus Christ throughout their life and believe that what happens in life will help them overcome so many obstacles that destroyed them. Still, it encourages them to help others like me. I go outside helping speak to people I don't know and speak about God, and what he has done in my life at the age I am now. I pray everyone stays in God's words; you must do it whether you read a bible version. To be honest, encouraging someone does not always mean you have to buy them something you can create and talk to what they can do better and listen to them because life lies on the tongue of what you say and what you mean about what you spoke to them so be careful and try to be humbled because God knows your heart and everything you do before you even do it. So, live for Jesus Christ he will show the love you need for others to know that God's love is real.
Bold Confidence Matters Scholarship
Confidence means to me is having the attitude of boldness that whatever people say, you are still going to love yourself no matter what. Yes, I am still working on it. I can say for myself I am getting better at having self-talk when I am feeling fearful of backing out of something; I change my focus on why I am doing what I am doing to get where I want to be in life because it is my future and living by what everyone else will have you so depressed, angry, lonely, and bitter I don't want to be that way God did not put me in this earth to become rude to people that may be hurt, harm or offended me to do the same time they did to me to another person who would not be good at all. So, confidence for me is looking in the mirror or recording a video of myself enjoying my self-time while others are trying to hurt others, but they are the ones who are hurting and lonely the most. Like you don't have to show everyone that you wear makeup knowing that you don't. In life, you would understand confidence is not being pressured to be something you are not comfortable doing so yourself. It is maturing knowing what you like is what you. Therefore, don't worry about others' opinions. God got your side no matter you are pretty or you feel ugly. You are gorgeous in God's eyes, and that is all that matters. So, confidence treats others how you would want to be treated because your heart reflects how your life will be if you are truly confident in yourself with loving people you don't like when showing the boldness you must come as a child of God.
Bold Study Strategies Scholarship
Here are a few steps to build good study habits: Plan when you study. Create a consistent, daily study routine. Set a study session goal to help achieve your overall academic goal. These are great ways to strive for goodness in your life. I love breaking down what I need to do for school, college, and house chores for the day. I write on my task sheet that keeps me focused because I need time to study for my tests and quizzes. If that works, I get more help, so I make sure I go to every tutor session to get more information to study the right thing to pass that test. Also, I pray for my God's guidance to help me not become overwhelmed with all of this studying, so I take brain breaks and snack breaks because that helps increase the study time to improve more information to remember during the test.
Bold Memories Scholarship
My mom started helping younger kids deal with so many traumatic experiences that I had never seen like that at a young age. Still, over the years, I became wiser and understood that it was part of her mission and that I would have one soon because I became more outspoken before I kept everything to myself and wrote it in my journal. Still, I need them to understand where I am coming from because I have a different childhood history, so my story differed from theirs, but that helped me express my feelings respectfully so they can respect what I am saying, and I do that same to them. So, today I have come a long way from staying to myself and not being open to learning new people's behavior or getting to know someone because I have already experienced it from a young age. Another thing, God is also the big masterpiece that helps me become the person I am today. I do not play, but I love to support those with a good heart. Growing up in a joint family is fun and useful because not only your parents but you have others to take care of you and also at the same time you can learn things from others apart from your parents. Friends are an important part of life. Friends will come and go because you will make friends in various stages of your life – school, college, universities, workplace, society, etc. Relationships: also plays an important role in writing how has your life experience shaped the person you are today through the good or bad it will all make sense in the end once you understand that it is not all about you it's about what's inside of you.
Bold Independence Scholarship
Independence means having control over one's choices and one's life. Therefore, being independent means that you will be more likely to try out new things you want, rather than how you are expected to do things you have never done before. Independent also means having more experience than a less independent individual. For example, a person who is considered an adult legally could choose to live with their parents or other family members and still lead an independent life. However, a person living with their family, a caregiver, is still an independent adult. Of course, how well that works depends on the families' understanding, support, and respect of their disabled family member. Having independence depends on the person's mindset because 18 years old people think everyone has their mind made up but some people still do not know what they want to do. I say start having a relationship with God because he will show you many things he has for you to overcome but you have to put everything aside that will distract you from spending time God that's showing independence right there choosing to spend quality time with your creator is amazing. In society, has it all messed up on a worldly level it is good to have all of that materialistic things but it does not matter when it comes to God because those things can not come with you when it is your time. So, spiritually is the way to go because knowing your worth will have help have your independence and make choices that help you be prepared for what God has a plan for you living out what he put in your heart to change so he can speak to you to become better that loving person trust God.
Bold Great Minds Scholarship
Someone who admires is Jesus Christ because he spoke life in the words that had people judging him for telling the truth that many people did not want to hear it because they were guilty of doing wrong and killing innocent people that were not doing anything to anyone but, only wanted to worship their God the one and only God that shows mercy to those who repent and admit their wrong and walk with faith no matter who it was people wanted to know more about living for Jesus Christ and that is why Jesus Christ is the person who I admire from all the wrong I have done he still gave me another chance to get me together whether I needed his help the most I opened my heart to the holy spirit and holy ghost to show me how Jesus Christ had done before I was even born. Jesus Christ never will let you down. He never will fail you. I know this because Jesus said it, but I also know it from personal experience. I've gone through my times of tragedy. Jesus Christ gave me life in his word that Bible speaks so much truth that anyone can be healed and change for the better because God wants his children to come to him daily not only when things are good but bad too God is waiting on you to speak to him do not let it be too late to repent and serve God the only person who has been through all the pain from people who was disgust from his truth.
Bold Love Yourself Scholarship
What I love about myself is my heart and the reason why I say my heart is because listening to a person would allow you to know what their heart is full of. For example, in the bible, A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. – Luke 6:45 (NLT). From that quote, readers can realize that what you say can cause people to treat you wrong sometimes it is not what you say that hurt but how you said that did. This is something I am still working with today choosing to be humble as I speak so they can receive what I am saying better than me being upset and they mad and things did not end of right that is not a good feeling. Also, it is important to me because I repent for the sins I do that day and ask God to forgive and change my heart, mind, and soul so I will reflect Jesus Christ unforgiving love that we all have but many refuse to change their hearts of bitterness, unforgiveness, and grief but if you send it to God he can make it better for you! Remember God wants the best for you and I do it so if you are reading this you have made it that change is here and God wants to hear from you don't allow it to drive you away from God but only closer understanding that.
Bold Mentor Scholarship
I pray the impact I have for people is to understand the importance of God words like people do not like speaking about what is true but they are so comfortable with lies like that is weird but people love it but I don't I want to speak the truth to people whether people like it or not. I love to help people who are struggling look at God and me in a different way that will change their ways of living. Everyday I pray for other people to be healed that's dealing with the good and bad because not everyone is the best at what they do but once I have conversations with them and let them know that God loves them no matter what they become more open with me and allowing me to speak the light in their life to become the man or women they always wanted to be but that the last mistake cause them a lifetime doing things they are not proud of doing but they had to do it to get away from people that were talking bad about them. Every day I will pray and play games with them to realize it is hope for them to change and not be the same forever God did not have that for you as a child of God. So, I pray this touch someone's heart treat others how you would want to be treated, and always love your neighborhoods and God!!! In the bible, God said: Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God’s word brings light to paths that otherwise seem dark. In the Bible, you learn how to live wisely in God’s world, which is the first step toward finding your purpose.
Bold Friendship Matters Scholarship
Friendship to means to me trusting in someone that has your back all day and wants the best for you because the plans that sometimes we have for ourselves sometimes does not always work when we are trying to do it by ourself but when we put our trust in God that relationship becomes an everlasting friendship that on one can break because only God is in control of your destiny but you are in control of your emotions that whatever happen to you always pray and stay in God's word because God said in His word that if you obey his commandments and follow him he would be like a friend you never had before when people left you and called you names God was reaching his hands out to you because he knew everything they were going to do to you and that is why God wants your all because this world is not the same you must always be prayed up. Protecting yourself while God is breaking off old dealings that were weighting you do if you trust God that would become a beautiful friend that will never leave you nor forsake you and any situation. God is cheering you on everywhere you go but that if you are living right by God. Now, that is what friendship means to me like who doesn't want someone to stay up all day and all night to watch over me from evil spirits that don't need to be near me when God comes it's over. I love praying and fasting for Jesus Christ even when it is hard I know I can trust Him with all I do everything because he knows everything I am going to do before I even think about doing it. Understand the Bible never...
Bold Patience Matters Scholarship
Patient for me is a big thing in my life right now I want to do so much but I know that I have to take it one day at a time because God ordered my steps that I must have to go through to stretch that next goal in my life. Success Doesn’t Come Overnight. Having the ability to be patient and continue on the journey towards achieving your goals can help you understand consistent hard work and dedication. As I was growing patient is like when your parents say "I will be back and don't touch nothing" hearing at a young age I knew not to rush to touch something I was warned before not to touch because I will have to deal with the consequences and that relate in today's household or schools we are taught to go through school for 12 years until we graduate but during the process we must stay focus and pull ourselves together when times get tuff. Showing patience is good but having patience in life no matter how hard it gets is something beautiful. Also, praying for me helps me stay patient when I am learning something new just like driving a car I had to be patient to drive and not rush and crash so yes having patient is important because it can save your life.
Bold Growth Mindset Scholarship
Every day morning the Lord wakes me up to give me life and another opportunity to try again without my God I am nothing. I pray and read His word daily so I can apply it to my life with the good and the bad also I watch motivational videos of pastors and godly things to keep my focus because my steps are ordered by the man above and I don't want to go a day without thanking my God that supplies all my needs in the world having the daily connection with him, holy spirit, and holy ghost is so amazing. I have a reminder on my phone that let me know when to pray and read the bible to spend more time with God so I can encourage others to do the same whoever may be dealing with difficult issues many people just need a message of love to do what is best for them because God created us to be a blessing, not a curse. God wants us to have a growth mindset about the way we live so we grow in patience, longsuffering, and temperance. The bible said in Psalm 16:5-8 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and my cup: thou maintains my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. Whether people want to believe in God or not God is always watching and listening also this is how I keep a growth mindset watching others and understanding what I don't want to deal with.
Marilyn J. Palmer Memorial
Being American to me means having freedom of speech, being equal to everyone no matter what the race, being united as one, and of course, reaching your dreams. Many people out there believe being American means that they have to be of a specific race and look a specific way, or they need to be born here to be an American. Others who come to America believe that being American means having opportunities and to have freedom. Then there are other people like those who believe that being American is to be united, having equal rights.
People come to America for better opportunities, to be free, and to get another chance to reach their dreams. They come to America because they know that there are better opportunities here than people had from where people came from because their voices will be heard here, they'll have freedom of speech, as the Bill of Rights states," Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble" I think this matters because it is stating that we can say whatever we want. They didn't say we have to be citizens to say whatever we want, even if it is the U.S Bill of Rights.

I've learned that hard work, decisiveness, and persistence can lead to opportunities I never knew could exist through education. My education as a college student has shaped me to dig deep within myself and overcome mental boundaries. My education has shaped me to challenge myself at whatever I do. For example, in my experience as a college student, I've learned there will be times frustration sets in during class time. I thought I reviewed my notes before getting in the review, but I forgot out of the blue. During these crucial moments, I've noticed something; that when you work hard and don't quit.
My experience has taught me not to give up and to stay committed no matter what. It has been days where I thought people would help me out, but they left to alone to figure it out on my own. I knew God was calling me something bigger that others could not see because they did not create me to become the person I am today. For instance, learning math gave me a challenge. For me, I started making sure I was counting it out so I wouldn't make any mistakes. That lasted for a couple of weeks, and then my professor reached out to let me know that having a tutor could help me improve my math skills. I confronted math by not giving in to the temptation of quitting, which helped me overcome the mental roadblocks I had towards math. Every day, I became intelligent in making mistakes to become my more significant challenge to success so I could pass. So, I went to the professor's tutored sections to enhance my ability to learn pre-calculus equations and not give up.
My education as a college student has shaped me to believe I can accomplish anything. I know everything I do won't be perfect, but I know my God has a plan for me to achieve each day. I give my God the thanks for being here another day, but through those tough times, no one was there to pick me up as my God has. So, I learned how to set my mind to become better. I've learned to stay persistent can help me through the good and bad times that the world may hit with me.

I remember hesitating outside the public speaking classroom. I felt unsure if my time and efforts would be worth committing myself to such a large club. I took a breath and entered. Before my freshman year, public speaking terrified me. Confronting my fears rather than avoiding them, I registered for English tutoring to help me go over my Writing and Speaking” competition. I felt foolish competing if I showcased my weakest skills. Months before the first round of competition, I began drafting my speech. I practiced for weeks, refining my text, recording my voice, and presenting to the bathroom mirror. I need this each day to improve speaking out to the crowd because looking at people's faces had me skipping words or forgetting what I was trying to say. When my turn came, I executed my speech exactly as I had dozens of times alone. I felt comfortable with my performance; finishing without embarrassing myself was good enough for me even when people were telling me you did not seem nervous, like yes I was soo nervous, but I just trusted God to guide me to say what I practiced each day to overcome this moment of fear. I ambled up to the stage, my heart trying to escape from my chest, in a mixed state of wonder and pride in my accomplishment. Aside from my newfound interest in public speaking, I have learned that if you put yourself out there and give your best efforts, trusting in the process will help you grow.
To me, leadership means the courage to overcome your fears, learn from failure, and inspire others to do the same. I do everything I can to ensure the success of the organization I lead and its members.

The pandemic had affected me to trust gid more each day, knowing that even when I thought doing out of places was the best thing to do. God taught me that one day this would all be shut down for a year, not knowing that I thought spending more time outside was good, but in the end, it has caused me to look at life more different with the understanding that we are not in control of our decisions in this world, but only God is. Also, I learned that not everyone thought I had friends, but when the pandemic started, I was losing people from my life back-to-back, but I knew it was for a greater cost. I started to love myself more and hustle with different unique ideas to sell or support less affordable. So, I save money for myself that I can have when I start college in the Fall of 2022.
