I have always had a passion for helping others and a strong interest in the field of physical therapy. I saw first-hand the impact that lack of access to care can have on individuals and their families, even though it did not impact me. My goal is to pursue a career in physical therapy so that I can give back to my community and provide much-needed services to those in need. To see my goal met I will be attending the University of Hartford and enrolling in their 3+3 DPT program that would put me on a fast-track for my education and achieve my goal of becoming a physical therapist in a shorter period in the fall of 2024. Although the program will be challenging, because I will be taking summer classes at the community college, it will also help me stay on track and stay ahead of my coursework. After completing my doctorate in physical therapy and gaining work experience in the field, I plan to open my own clinic in my old community. I want to create a welcoming space where people can receive care at an affordable cost. By doing this, I hope to provide services for all members of the community, regardless of their financial situation. What initially sparked my fascination with STEM was its unique approach to fostering inventive thinking by converging multiple academic disciplines. I was captivated by the idea that STEM encourages individuals to think creatively and develop innovative solutions by integrating concepts from various fields. The fact that STEM provides a platform for understanding how diverse subjects can be merged to tackle complex challenges resonated deeply with me. Moreover, my interest in STEM is deeply personal. I come from a family where practically every close relative works in a STEAM-related field. Growing up surrounded by individuals who are passionate about STEAM has not only motivated me to pursue my own interests but also instilled in me a sense of wonder and awe for the endless possibilities that STEAM fields offer. Including receiving a scholarship, we are not just helping with my financial aid, but it will be a symbol of my hard work, dedication, and determination. It would help my goals of pursuing a higher education, and a reminder that I have the potential to achieve wonderful things. I am, and profoundly grateful for this opportunity that you have given me, and I am determined to make the most of it.

One of my favorite movies that I watched was Halloween Town on my favorite show, Wizard of Waverly Place. This will be a crossover because the female leads are powerful wizards, and it will have Halloween town spookiness and Wizard of Waverly Place humor. The episode would be in two parts. The name of it will be “Spellbound Screams.” The first part will introduce Marnie Piper, her siblings Dylan and Sophie, and their grandmother Aggie. They will be visiting the mortal realm for a family reunion. However, Marnie's magical powers start malfunctioning, causing Halloween-themed chaos in the mortal world. Pumpkins come to life, ghostly apparitions appear, and spider webs cover everything. Then we will meet Alex Russo, a skilled wizard from the Wizards of Waverly Place, who notices the strange occurrences and offers to help Marnie master her powers. They meet at the Russo family's sandwich shop, where Alex's brothers Justin and Max are initially wary of Marnie's strange abilities. As Marnie and Alex work together, they discover that a dark force is manipulating Marnie's magic, threatening to merge Halloweentown and the mortal realm. This will be the end of the first part. In the second part, the dark force is revealed to be a rogue wizard named Dominic, who seeks to rule over both worlds. Marnie and Alex embark on a spooky adventure to Halloweentown, meeting creatures like Kalabar and his son Kal, who become their allies. They also encounter obstacles like giant spiders, ghostly warriors, and treacherous mazes. Along the way, Marnie learns about Alex's wizardry traditions and the history of the Russo family, while Alex discovers the secrets of Halloweentown. They realize that their combined strength is the key to defeating Dominic and restoring balance to both worlds. In the climactic ultimate battle, Marnie and Alex face off against Dominic in an epic showdown of magic and might. With their powers combined, they manage to banish Dominic and restore peace to both Halloweentown and the mortal realm. The story concludes with a heartwarming moment of friendship and a hint of future adventures together for Marnie and Alex as they return to their respective worlds, forever changed by their unforgettable encounter. It would also have a merger of characters that would create engaging dynamics, like Aggie's wisdom meeting the Russo family's quirks. It would celebrate the best of both worlds, weaving a spellbinding tale of unity, magic, and adventure.

Coming for both a low income and a single parent household, it was very challenging for me and my 5 other siblings. Me being the second oldest, I would have to take care of my other siblings with the help of my older sister, when my mother was working more than one job. But with having to take care of my 4 younger siblings I had stated my own business of making gift baskets to help my mother. On top of that I have a learning disability, it made me feel that I cannot achieve the level of education of others around me. One of the main ways that I am dealing with this obstacle is by changing my mindset and believing in myself. One way I had been working to improve myself was by pursuing early college courses while I was still in high school. By putting in the necessary effort and dedication, I have proven to myself that I can achieve my goals, despite the obstacles that may stand in my way. My future goals are enrolling in their 3+3 DPT program that would put me on a fast-track for my education and achieve my goal of becoming a physical therapist in a shorter period in the fall of 2024. Although the program will be challenging, because I will be taking summer classes at the community college, it will also help me stay on track and stay ahead of my coursework. After completing my doctorate in physical therapy. I plan to open my own clinic in my old community, where people do not have easy access to this type of healthcare. By providing physical therapy services, I hope to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need and help improve their quality of life. Additionally, I aim to offer affordable or sliding scale fees for those who may not have the means to afford traditional healthcare services. This award would not only help me support my educational journey. It would also show my hard work and dedication. It was shown that despite the obstacles that I had overcome and progress that I had made, I despised the challenges that I have faced. Receiving this scholarship would motivate me to complete, pushing myself to achieve even greater success in my academic career. I would be extremely grateful for this scholarship so that I can continue my homework and strive for excellence in my studies. It would show despite being the first person in my family to be in a university and a low-income student that I have the willpower and determination to reach my goals.
