Being able to have anything you could imaging on your own pair of sneakers would interest many people. Your shoes will be an eye catcher and stand out in a crowd. If all of your friends have the same pair of shoes, and you want yours to be just a little bit different, with my help, that can be made possible.

Since I was in the 10th grade, I knew I wanted to pursue my education at Mount Vernon Nazarene University for nursing. Furthermore, my first college visit on MVNYOU day confirmed my decision. I greatly treasure the close knit community and the Christian based morals. To get a head start on my journey, my sophomore year I applied and was accepted into the Career and Technology Education Center of Licking County for Clinical Care (C-TEC), a nursing based program. In the duration of my last two years of high school, instead of simply graduating with my diploma, I graduated with my STNA, CET, CPT, CPCT, and my CPhT. I have gained a knowledge of the basic fundamentals of nursing. I am an active member of many different clubs and organizations supporting

Upon graduation from high school with an above 4.0 GPA and a 28 ACT score, I received the Wildcat Excellence Scholarship from the University of Arizona in the amount of $6,000. Among the friendliness, location, and pristine medical reputation, this scholarship was a large reason why I proudly chose the U of A for my undergraduate studies, because without the financial aid there was diminutive chance of being able to afford a college education. During my first semester freshman year, I struggled with common ‘teenager problems’ (low-self esteem, peer pressure, etc.), but there was also an added weight: I graduated high school at the age of fifteen, and it was at that time I left home for university life. While academically, I seemed prepared enough for this challenge, emotionally I was still only barely sixteen,

As a high achieving and dedicated student of Kilcoy State High School, I feel that I am worthy of being awarded an academic scholarship for 2017-2018. To address the basic criteria given, I am currently enrolled in year 10 and I intend to complete a QCE over 2017 & 2018. My school attendance has been excellent over the past 5 ½ semesters (two days absent total - approximately 99.5% attendance). I have consistently achieved A’s in all of my subjects over that period with the exception of one B in Year 8 HPE. These achievements can be attributed to my effort, persistence, commitment and dedication toward my schoolwork, both in class and at home.

? My life experiences have molded me into a patient, emotionally matured and readily ready to, not only, sympathize with people, especially the disabled, but to also genuinely empathize with them in their daily struggles to live their dream life.

Service to others has always been important to me. I'm a product of Jesuit education going back to high school, so I grew up with an understanding of the value of serving others, and the positive impact it can have on the lives we touch. In my experience, I have always been happiest when I have tended to another's needs ahead of my own. I have no better example of this than in my work with the North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Campus Recreation Program through volunteering.

I am a currently a Junior, at Warren New Tech High School, and I just started my second semester. I am a hardworking student, who likes to maintain her academics, as high as possible. I used to always get A and B Honor Roll (Freshmen and Sophomore year), but so far this year I have been able to make Principal’s List, this was during my first semester. I am really hoping that I will get accepted into North Carolina State University (NCSU), it’s considered as my top choice and they have a really significant Agriculture Program. I know how important it is to actually get a scholarship, when you are applying these top colleges, especially if you don’t have a resource for that kind of money. I have gotten very interested in working with farm animals, and I have started my own farm (just chickens now, but more animals will soon come). I also work part-time at a reality, here in North Carolina, on the lake with my

“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.” These words that Alan Alda once said have a great connection to my own life. During the summer of 2016 I left the city of my comfort and found my new self in the wilderness of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. What I discovered was wonderful, because now I have gained confidence in myself, that I did not have before. In one week I met people who I will be friends with for a lifetime, did a lot of new things, and believed in myself like I had never done before.

Becoming a distinctive mercy graduate means to understand personal truths and values,to mature, to be connected, spiritual, and to be able to accept responsibilities towards society. During my Mercy Today project I learned so much information about the current works of the Sisters of Mercy that connected with what I learned about the history of the Sisters of Mercy and their critical concerns. For example, I learned that a man named, Jim Wither, M.D.,which is the founder and medical director of Operation Safety Net, a ministry of Pittsburgh Mercy Health System (PMHS) and Trinity Health in the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, he did his work on the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He did what the Sisters of Mercy were doing in Ireland in the mid 19th Century. Since 1992, Withers has transversed areas under bridges, abandoned buildings, streets and and alleyways, seeking people in Pittsburgh who are homeless, to show them compassion by offering a listening ear, support, medical care and hope. It’s almost the same actions that Catherine McAuley, which is the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, and the Sisters of Mercy were doing on the streets

Ever since I was a young kid I have always been interested in movies. My grandma, who was full of the wise the life experience left, always knew about my interest in movies. She feed my vain for the art. Even though her religion, she professed Adventist of seven-day religion, didn't let her go to the cinema, she always found the way to took me to the cinema. She and I enjoyed watch movies. We used to sit in the darkness room, with our faces illuminated from the reflection of the light which rebooted from the screen, both absorbs in the plot of the movie which made us laughed or cried.

When I walked on campus my freshman year, I was not thinking about the rising costs of college. I was only thinking about how thankful for the opportunity to attend Drury University, for the local scholarships I was awarded at my senior honors night at East Peoria Community High School, for the Federal Government Pell and SEOG Grants I received and the $15,000 of institutional scholarships I was offered and accepted from Drury University. I was not counting on my brother dropping out of school, causing my families Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) to double the following year (which caused the Federal Pell and SEOG grant to fall off my Financial Aid Report.) I was not anticipating to find my college courses difficult, after all, I graduated 18th of 255 in

The Salisbury Dual Degree Engineering Transfer Program offered through the Physics Department in the Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology will aid me in accomplishing my goal to become an engineer and a female leader in the STEM fields. Salisbury University (SU) will help me accomplish my goals in a creative way and give me a broader depth by being able to experience two different schools and obtain two degrees in only five years.
