In less than eighty days, the Class of 2018 will no longer be high school students. They will be walking across the stage and taking a big jump forward into the adult world, entering a land of opportunity and choices. Some will plan to further their education by attending college or a trade school. Others will join the military, take a year off, or enter the workforce, but as Cesar Chavez, a labor leader and civil rights activist, once said “The end of all education should surely be service to others,” meaning the purpose of education should be to help others. It does not matter which path the Class of 2018 will take, but how they will help others with the path they chose to take.

Like most young boys I grew up idolizing sport heroes, racing kids on the playground, and playing sports outside. My teams were the Cowboys, the Astros, and later on in life the Aggies. Consequentially, if you didn’t love Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio than I didn’t really like you. Although most of these decisions were made based upon my brother’s sport interest, I learned to love them in my own way. After all, my brother was the one who I played basketball with, threw the football and baseball with, and eventually the one who inspired my love for A&M and the Aggies. For all my life I can remember wanting to play sports and wanting to watch sports, but around 7th grade when my brother moved off to A&M is when I really started getting the sports bug. Visiting for home games, standing in the

I intend to use this scholarship to help pay for my tuition and books at the Southern Arizona University of Phoenix- Online. I would like to be considered for this scholarship because I have no financial help from my family. This means that I have to be able to pay for college on my own because of the fact that my father is no longer in my life, and my mom has my other siblings to take care of. My father is no longer in my life because he now lives in Mexico with his other family. I don’t have financial help from him because he has a wife and six other children. My mother would like to be able to help me, but she has two other children she’s taking care of by herself, and she has to prepare for my sister's graduation next year as well as mine this year. I plan to get a job after I graduate to help pay for the expenses of college, but since I am going online the expenses of college are going to be a lot less than if I were to go on campus, this is the main reason I am planning to go online, and to take a lot of the stress of being totally alone off myself because I will only be twenty minutes away from my family instead of an hour or two.

Robert Frost once wrote, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I, I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference. As a young, educated, black man I have already chosen to take the road less travelled. Life is a journey where you stumble and fall, but I elected to not become a negative statistic. While in high school I decided to start my college education early in the pursuit of bettering my mind and proving to my ancestors that their plight is being well-respected.

Personal Statement As a curious person, I have spent my life trying to understand how things work and languages have certainly taken most of my attention. I hope to get the Fulbright scholarship in order to learn even more about how languages are learned and be able to put that knowledge in practice with my Chilean students.

During my time in the undergraduate programme of English Teaching, I was fascinated by applied linguistics and how it intended to solve the mysteries of learning in order to make teaching more effective, and the way it studied the differences between cultures when it comes to communicating.

HEY!... This scholarship would mean the world to me as an individual, not my mom, dad or sisters, but me.
