This scholarship would mean a lot to me, because I would be the first out of my family to graduate college and I was the first to graduate high school out of 3 generations. My father was a Marine for 10 years, he choose a different path instead of going to college or finishing high school. He joined the war overseas to serve his country and I am proud of him. He always told me to never join any branch because he saw a future for me that he wanted me to invest in an education and better myself in everything I do. My brothers and sister chooses horrible paths and yet I was different than the rest of the family. I wanted my mother and father proud of me and I wanted my country to be proud of me. Instead of doing drugs, drinking and partying. I was the odd kid growing up that invested myself into books and dreamed of the endless possibilities that I can become. I thought different jobs of what I can do to help my community and not fall into the evil path as my brothers and sister did. Dad always told me that I was his shining star, I didn’t really understand what was going on with family until I got out of high school. Drugs and alcohol can really screw up peoples ' lives. I am living proof that you can choose the right path to become a better citizen.

Money is sadly one of the things that makes the world go round. With it books are bought and an education is paid for.

In my family I am expected to pay for my tuition because it is my education. I have been striving to save up because education is one of my top priorities. This award will allow me to spend some of my earnings elsewhere. My financial burden will be lifted slightly and I will be able to relax and enjoy the rest of my senior year.

Growing up I never thought I would stand in a situation like this begging for money. I’ve always thrived for big aspirations from wanting to be a detective to a Forensic Anthropologist to a Neonatal nurse and finally to a gynecologist. For me to pursue my aspirations, going to college is such a necessity for me. There are three reasons why I am applying for this scholarship: money, ambitions, and to prove myself.

When I want something, I work hard to earn it. I believe I should receive this scholarship because of my drive for success and knowledge. I am a hardworking individual and I have a great thirst for knowledge. I am also a firm believer that knowledge is power. I want to gain the credentials that will back up my knowledge someday. I will do anything and everything I am able to put my mind to in order to remain successful. With an education, one can put his or her mind to anything he or she wants.

Overall, earning a scholarship will allow me to earn a degree in college, which will increase my ability to give back to my community, as well as my ability to support my family. Thank you for the honor of allowing me to share my story. Hopefully, the LEAD Foundation will assist me in my plans of achieving higher bars of
