Giving A Scholarship

It’s been a subject of news reports both local and national: the opiate drug epidemic in central and northeast Pennsylvania is skyrocketing and Geisinger Marworth is stepping in to do something about it.

My goals for the next ten years, would be to get accepted to medical school and to graduate from medical school. Specifically, my top three medical schools that I would love to go to would be Oklahoma University Medical School, University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Oklahoma State Center for Health Sciences. To be honest though my top three are the places I would absolutely love to go to, I would gladly take a medical school that would accept me. Currently my plans for a specialty in medical school is endocrinology or immunology, I love the way that the body interacts with itself and how it is able to get confused and attack itself is probably my main interest in the specialty. My goals after I graduate medical school are, working in a hospital somewhere in Oklahoma, preferably in Oklahoma City or Tulsa, and work there as a resident for a time until I would be able to open up my own private practice or join a private practice and continue my health career from there. One of the things that has become increasingly interesting with me is Doctors Without Borders, which may end up being something that I would participate in after medical school during my residency or around the time that I would join a private practice.

I give back to my community by collecting and donating canned goods to my local food bank. I understand the situation from those that need it because my family has had times where we needed the

I believe that it is extremely important to help others, and this also provides an appreciation for the people around you. I make sure to participate in a service project at least once a month to give back to the community. For example, I take part in Animal Anti-Cruelty every month. By helping animals in animal shelters, I can aid the animals that give people so much joy. Benefitting the community enables you to reflect on your own actions and how to further help others, and it is fun to take part in helping causes that I am passionate about.

From being active in my community I have learned that after giving, you receive the best feeling. My freshman year, my friends and I dressed up like Disney princesses and sang at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Columbia, Missouri. I have gone back two more times because I am in love with cheering people up. Since this experience, I have made it a mission to always continue to participate in community service. From meals-on-wheels, to adopt-a-spot trash clean up I am always ready to help out the community.

For the past number of years, I have taken part in volunteer activities on my own, and as a member of the National Honor Society. Multiple times through the past four years, I participated in children’s holiday parties at my church. My main tasks were assembling displays and games, and assisting children who wanted to play one. I have also fundraised for many charities concerning life-threatening illnesses such as cystic fibrosis, cancer, and diabetes. During my freshman year, I completed nearly 25 hours of community service at Julia Boyer Reinstein Library. Besides restocking library materials and cleaning up around the building, I also assisted many people who were looking for certain items or had general questions. People from all different demographics and age groups visited the library and had an abundant amount of needs that I helped fill. Later this

Actively participating in the betterment of my community is a trait that my family has instilled in me. It not only makes the lives of others better but makes me feel satisfied in providing them that service, that being said I try to help whenever I can and wish to continue doing so for the rest of my life.

    In a community, there is an expectancy that one will contribute to it in some way. Whether it's working or volunteering, both forms of service can better the community one lives in. In my opinion, it is essential for one to contribute to their community in whatever way they can in order to be a truly valued member.

I think that part of the idea of giving to the community is to inspire others that came from another place that moved to their community. I think that because, in a small town like Honokaa, the community is everything to show for in our town that has no special features. We have a small community but that can also a great thing I remember that a lot of people would come to offer volunteer work to help others, like the work with did with the forest next to the park we pulled to king grass, and when people came to help make a new teachers lounge for the school, I donate the clothes that I can fit the salvation army in our town. The idea of giving back to our community is an idea that I was raised with, it is an idea that made me think about different people than myself it made me not be selfish in what I do and buy like if I buy something can my family also play use it and if its clothes I would give it the salvation army that is located in our time. When I was around 6 I was more selfish and want to always get something when we come to a store, I would rarely share anything with my sisters or cousins but when I grew up I became more influenced by the idea to give back to people or the

I will then continue my education at a physician assistant graduate program which takes two years. After graduating, and becoming a certified physician assistant, my dream is to work in a family practice. In this environment I will be able to care for a variety of different patients, while also having good hours, so that if I do have children I will be able to be there for them the way my mom always was for

While supporting this organization I can also make connections with other non-profit organizations and support them. After I graduate with my masters I will start working at a hospital, then I will keep working even harder to open a non-profit community clinic. Help people in need passionates me, the fact that I will be able to do something that will change or improve their daily lives is a feeling I cannot explain. Not everyone can afford a good healthcare insurance, as of today I can’t even afford one. For this reason, I will open this community clinic with the goal of providing help with health care or related issues. I will assist to conferences or tutorials to get inform of how to run an organization, I will partner with other organizations if needed, but I am sure that as well as I will finish high school and college I will be able to open this clinic. My goal is to expand this non-profit organization to other states of the United States, to gather a big group of people with the same dream and work together to expand this dream. Also, since I graduated with a masters, I will find organizations that travel to poor countries offering healthcare help and

Community is when people come together as one for a common good or goal. I give back to the community because I think I my success are not all because of my ability. I have the people who helped me and taught me lesson in life that help me reach my success today. I have given back to the community by volunteering on Sundays to teach confirmation. Teaching on sunday gives me a chance to know my parish better and also teach the students more about their faith. I think it is very important to have bond with those who you go to church with. This summer I

I feel it is very important for citizens to help out in their communities in the United States. There are so many things that volunteers do for you on a daily basis that you do not know about.

In conclusion, giving back to my community is very important to me. The main reasons why giving back is important to me is because my community has done so much for me, I take pride in where I am from, and because I want everyone to be amazed about my

The Polk County High School Alumni Scholarship would help me financially by helping me avoid debt. Scholarships will help take the physical pressure off of my family and I to come up with the money for me attend to college. As it is now, not only will I be going to college, but also my sister is enrolling at Cleveland State for the fall semester. It pains me to imagine my sister’s and my own educational pursuit putting a strain on my father. My father has always been there for me, so it is my turn to be there for him by making sure he does not have to worry about me. One thing he deeply cares about is my education, because he knows how much it means to me. Along with the stress of financial strain, there is another issue: student loans. I do
