As a first-generation student, the privilege to attend college has always been a goal of mine. The ambition I hold to further my education is due to the encouragement both of my parents have provided me with. Before I graduated high school, my decision was to take a year off before I attended college. As the year went on I came to realize that the choice I made was not to my advantage, I ended up regretting my decision. Throughout my gap year, I became aware of all the advantages college had to offer me and the experiences I was missing out on. It would be remarkable if I were to get admitted to the University of Wisconsin Green Bay. I would get the opportunity to attend a college of my choice and would be able to pursue my education. For me to attend a college in my hometown would be ideal. I would be able to receive the college experience and education close to my home, family, and friends.

As a child growing up, my parents harbored the idea of me becoming a surgeon, or a dentist. For as long as I could remember they’ve always told me that “life sciences were the only majors that would contrive a solid job”. As a result, I majored in biology, which led to a miserable freshman year. In due time, I began following my own path, and focused on what I wanted to achieve for myself. Not only did my passion for psychology grow stronger, but I didn’t perceive school as a way please my parents anymore. I learned that as a student in order to reach your true potential, and be successful with what you’re doing, you should be content doing what you love. Ultimately, changing my major to psychology allowed me to feel as if I had a purpose again.

Growing up I never thought going to college would be the path I would take. I always had a hard time keeping up in high school, it discouraged me from any other education after I graduated. Whether it was doing homework or taking a test, I could just never get it right. Attending college seemed a bit discouraging, with nowhere to look for help. Now that I’ve grown up I can see clearer on how school works, and how important it is to study and stay focused. Listening to my parents constantly tell me through high school that I should go to college for a better life was overwhelming. After my dad passed away, it sparked a light in me that listened to what he said and wanted to fulfill his wishes. I use it as motivation. Now, I have perseverance that I didn’t have in high school. I know this because when I am assigned homework or weekend projects, I immediately start running ideas through my head on how I am going to execute them. I am willing to do what it takes to be successful. This is why I believe I deserve a scholarship.

The reason I feel like I deserve to win this scholarship is because of the way I can carry myself through the hardships of life, and still be able to average a GPA over 3.0 Many of my trials have been at home, some of these trials happen at school. I can say proudly that I am on track to defeat those trials in one swoop. I am on track to receive many prestigious accolades from my school. From life I’ve learned that it isn’t fair, and working hard doesn’t get you to where you want, but something in me still believes it no matter what. As far as I know winning $1000 for college doesn’t put a significant dent in the average $12000 a year in college tuition, but I believe it’ll help start my journey.

Truth be told, I waited until I was absolutely sure what profession I intended on entering before going to college. As I was about to hit my early twenties, I could not fathom the thought of going into debt or wasting money hopping from one major to another like many of my friends were doing. Unfortunately, during this time of pondering indecisions about my future I got into a little trouble that landed me with a Class B Misdemeanor for which I served one year of deferred adjudication. During this year I had plenty time to think about my actions and my future while I worked to pay my fine, completed community service, took court appointed classes and reported to my probation officer. Though this was not a good time in my life, it was a major eye opener to me as far as where I saw myself in the future. I took every aspect of my deferred adjudication very seriously because I knew with a simple twist of fate the end result could have been far worse. I decided though I was disappointed in my actions and the result, my experience was one I could use to better myself and also help others. I had found my purpose in life in the drive to help others through their rehabilitation and the

My health and studies are important to me and I do not want to sacrifice them on trying to spend

Throughout my childhood life and school, I was never sure what my future would look like. There were so many things I wanted to be from engineer to criminal justice major to lawyer that I could never make up my mind. Throughout high school and majority of college I could never just choose one specific major. Although I always knew that when I arrived at my first college I would make sure I worked hard to set the foundation down for my future goals. I always knew that eventually I would achieve my goals by making sacrifices and putting the time in. Today I’m halfway there to achieving what some people probably would have said is impossible.
