I strongly believe that I deserve the “Courage to Grow” Scholarship, because not only am I a dedicated and hardworking growing young adult, but I also incorporate those traits to what I value the most, school. Ever since I started school, I have worked hard to where I am now. I have a 3.8 G.P.A. On a 4.0 scale which I have worked long nights for. Since throughout all of high school I have been, an still am, involved in many extracurriculars such as DECA, Interact Club, Spanish Honor Society but also managed to be involved in sports as well like Indoor Track and Field, Outdoor Track and Field and Cheerleading. Being a top, varsity athlete in all, has taught me many valuable traits which have helped also become a wonderful young adult.
Because of my mother’s and sister’s involvement in the medical field, I have gained a personal connection with wanting to continue in their footsteps. I am going to attend The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to pursue my career as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I would like to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in order to provide the best care for small children. I recently obtained my Certified Patient Care Technician certification while in high school, which means I am certified to work in a hospital. The next step is attending at UAB where there is a rigorous academic curriculum, the Pre-Nursing Dean’s Scholar program, for students whose main objective is nursing. I am currently in this program, which is one stepping
Back in my home country, where i grew up, times were always tough. Every day I would notice poverty, tragedies, disappointment from every angle i turned.

Although i entered this career spontaneously, there are numerous reasons why i fell in love with nursing and its positive influnece in my personal life.
Completing my bachelor’s degree in Nursing has been a personal goal of mine since I graduated with my associate’s degree in nursing. Having my BSN degree is essential for my career and personal development. Initially after graduating with my ASN, I enrolled in a BSN program and started my first class, when life happened. I was a single mother raising my 5 year old daughter, working the night shifts at Miami Children’s Hospital. I was dating my now husband and became pregnant with my second child. I ended up having to quit my job as a pediatric nurse which was my goal, to be a pediatric nurse, get my BSN and climb the ladder there. After the birth of my daughter my personal goals changed, and my academic and career goals were put on hold.
I deserve this scholarship because I am hard working and it wouldn’t be a waste of money on some dumb teenager and because my parents don’t have a lot of money, but I also deserve it because I want to go to college to be a police officer and protect the american people, change how police officers are looked at and so I can serve justice to people who deserve

Throughout life people dream of doing something that is amazing, and my goal is to do just that.

My major is pre-nursing and I would like to become a nurse. I would like to talk to my advisor on how I would go about getting my bachelor’s degree in nursing.

Entering a nursing program is a life changing experience. As an entry-level nursing student, I expect to learn everything needed to prepare myself to be a professional nurse. Although, I know this nursing program will be difficult, my goal is to be able to grow in my nursing program and attain success throughout the entire program. Given that this nursing program is 7 semesters, anything can happen. Barriers will be inevitable due to things being unexpected in life and the only thing I truly fear is not being successful in this program. The barriers I expect to face will be the constant change and adaption that will take place not only personally, but academically throughout these 2 years of nursing school. However, throughout my life I have
Technological advances and genetic discoveries have increased the average individual’s life span. Today’s nurses regularly care for an aging population with a higher incidence of chronic illnesses. People are now living longer and the population is becoming more diverse creating a host of new challenges for nurses.

The reason why I think I deserve this scholarship is that I try my ultimate best on every task I undertake. I was a leader for other cheerleaders that didn’t know any of the cheers. It was ruff but i didn’t quit and kept trying my hardest to teach them. We went to Glyndon for wrestling and had to perform in front of a lot of people. I kept on reminding them “Don’t be scared, you will do awesome!” We ended up performing our best and looked great. We cheer for an amazing basketball and wrestling team! I am very proud and thankful for all of them. Band and choir, I am a section leader for soprano 1 and french horns. I love singing and playing french horn! In choir i’m in the big group and a small group. Got a superior rating in both groups over
Winning a scholarship in any context is a huge honor. In my case, being the recipient of the first School scholarship also fills me with deep gratitude and a sense of responsibility. As a former student of the school and as a current instructor there, I know how important it is for the School to nurture thinking at every level, and by being chosen for this opportunity, I know exactly that the path they are setting me to walk is the right one. Quoting them, they opened their school to welcome “misfits”, and because this industry needs a good mixture of hearts and brains/passion and logic/art and science, they are now entrusting the misfit in me, to become an example to follow, someone who can lead and help others on their own path.
