My name is Haemin Oh. I was reminded the value of education in hard way during my high school years. Until my second semester of the junior year, I thought my grades would be decent even if I ditched classes and did not try my best. However, I realized that I was wrong when I got my grade report and saw how poor my grades were. I only relied on the extra credits and did not think of working hard in the first place. As a result, my grade was on the verge of failing and I felt devastated by the fact that if I have tried harder, all the Cs that I got would have been Bs and As. Although, I never regretted on making those choices during my junior year because I learned the fact that the choices I make now actually affect my future and that I must be responsible in what choices I am making.
The reason why I need the scholarship is that the career path I have chosen takes a lot of time and money. I want to become a veterinarian, and it will tough for me to obtain this goal without the help of scholarship. Even if the amount of scholarship is very small, it takes a significant part of my education.

I have been a member of the marching band since my freshman year, and I was accepted to be in a wind symphony in my sophomore year. In my senior year, I have participated the most as I took a roll of section leader and the solo player. I have dedicated myself to my section and helped the section members to enjoy marching band and have great shows. I have also used my personal time to improve on my solo as the solo played a big part on how impactful the show can be. I have also volunteered in the FoundAnimals as I was interested in taking care of stray dogs and cats and for my dream of becoming a veterinarian. Volunteering in that industry helped me a lot to understand how animals are taken care of and encouraged me to work hard to become a veterinarian one
Where I learned how to become a leader through the leadership ensemble within the marching band. Where in my senior and fourth year of marching competitively, I became the Drum Major, and earned the Best Drum Major Award at the Roxbury Marching Band Classic Competition. From marching band I progressed into jazz music, where I became the lead alto saxophonist in the top jazz band at my school during my junior and senior year. I was also one of three saxophonists in the top band at my school. I picked up the clarinet, the flute, and the soprano saxophone on my way through high school, and have played all three as well in my performing ensembles. I played in the pit orchestra of the theater production of “All Shook Up”, and was the principal saxophonist at my high school. Too be short, I am very involved in all things music in the past and currently. Band and music have been a place for me to rely on, something that brings me joy when sad. Allows me to express myself through sounds and through instruments. It is truly a talent and a hobby that I hope to continue through college and through life because of the joy it brought me and creative outlet it was throughout my
I, Hope Turnbull, am a Senior of Stockton High School in Stockton Kansas. My plans consist of attending North Central Kansas Technical College starting Fall 2016, where I want to begin my study of nursing. Due to me having all of my general education courses finished upon my college arrival, I have been accepted into the first year Nursing Program (LPN). I believe that I deserve this scholarship due to me excelling in my education at a very young age. My grades are earned as A’s and B’s in school.
In one way or another, I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Growing up, I was completely dedicated to animals, caring for what could be considered a mini zoo. Naturally, as a child, I was set on a career as a veterinarian. Like most children, I was naive about the veterinary profession, but I had plenty of people to warn me about its challenges. Albeit initially discouraged from becoming a veterinarian, my search for a meaningful career not only revived my spark for veterinary medicine but also gave me the maturity and experience necessary to succeed in it.
I know that through my hard work and dedication I can make my goals a reality. However, it may not be possible without these Scholarships. While my parents will help me in any way they can, I am hoping that my hard work and dedication to my studies pays off. I am a very self-driven individual who will accomplish any goal I set my mind on achieving. I am also aware of how without scholarships I may face a financial setback. I am hoping that through the help of scholarships I will be able to achieve all my goals in a timely
I plan to graduate from College of the Sequoias with an Associate’s Degree in communications and to maintain a grade point average of at least a 3.7. Once I earn my degree, I will transfer to a university where I will begin to work on my master’s degree. With my master’s degree I can pursue my dream of working for Disney Parks in public relations. While I am still a college student, I will apply and hopefully be given the opportunity to participate in the Disney College Program as well as a Disney Professional Internship. These internships will help me to learn more about working in the field of communications, to gain practical experience and to network with individuals who can help me achieve my career goals. A scholarship would be incredibly helpful for me to achieve all that I intend to by allowing me to devote more time to my school work. Since I currently work two jobs, as a tutor and as a sales associate, it is often difficult to find time and energy to complete my schoolwork. If I were to earn a scholarship, it would allow me to work fewer hours a week so that I can focus more of my energy and time on my education. That way, I can get the best grades possible and have the best chance of success in my
The life I have had so far has taught me a lot about academic and life skills; from when I was about six to the age I am now. I am always learning and happy to learn new things. I might not know what I want right now, but I do know that I want something for my life; I want to go to college, so I could make the future I see happen. As you 're reading this you 're probably asking yourself why? Why does going and graduating college mean so much to her? What makes her different from all the others? Well, to answer all those questions you would have to continue reading as I explain some of the moments in my life, in which they brought me to the conclusion that I have to go to college.
This past year I was hired to work at the veterinarian clinic in Bullard. Within one month I got to help de-claw a cat and watch many surgeries. I learned how to medicate animals without getting bit, give hydrotherapy, and many other things. My title was kennel attendant and I still tried to help and learn up front, in surgery, when I finished the kennel. I always watched for depressed animals especially the ones that went though surgery, because sometimes with out the tender care they needed they would not eat and lose weight.
Being a member of the marching band gave me a new perspective of myself. My sophomore year I became the clarinet section leader. I was nervous at first because I had never been a leader of anything. But, as the marching season progressed I started growing leadership qualities. Throughout the season, I helped
I was too scared to raise my hand to ask to join but I went to my teacher after class for more information. I’m so glad I put my hand up, it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. So in 8th grade, I marched my cheap clarinet in the high school marching band. During my freshman year at band camp, I ended up getting sick and went home. On that same day, the drill for our show was rewritten and guess who was left out.
I entered the center completely unprepared for the level of education and hard work that the center demanded, but thrived knowing that I was helping heal animals in peril (many of whom were there directly because of human actions). After many hours of feeding, cage cleaning, and handling dangerous patients, I felt as though I had learned as much from the animals as I had my teachers. However, I also found myself frustrated more often than not when I found a limit to my ability to aid animals. There is no worse feeling than knowing that an animal urgently needs care that you are unable to provide. This feeling encouraged me to further my education in animal care, so that I can be the best caretaker possible for animals in
“Determination” is a word often overlooked. Nowadays, it tends to be ignored in favor of “perfection” and “effortless”. Where drive and vision were valued qualities in America’s infancy, the ease of technology and the ever-climbing ceiling on success has blinded society to the value of a hard day’s work. In fact, America’s own foundation is often overlooked; where would our nation be if not for the determination of our first colonists? As our superpower status is only augmented, our aim is not vision, but an unfettered and flawless ascent.
Growing up, I was immersed in agriculture and the way of farm life. I was taught that if you want something, you have to work for it. Learning how to work growing up inspired me to keep working towards my dreams, no matter how big they may seem. My dream since I was young was to help people. I always wanted to help people to be healthy, strong, and confident in who they are.
When I was in early elementary school, whenever asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always answered with absolute certainty; “I’m going to be half zookeeper, half nature explorer!” This was never an answer that surprised anyone, considering the fact that I spent most of my days in the pastures behind my house, typically with mud matted into my hair, searching for anything that would catch my interest such as snakes, rocks, or flowers. Twelve years later and few things have changed, besides maybe the fact that I’ve finally learned how to keep the mud out of my hair. I still spend most of my free time outdoors.
I was born in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, but lived the first ten years of my life in San Bernardo, a small town in the suburbs of the metropolitan area. To support the family, my father worked as a forklift driver, and my mother has a janitor. Early in my education, my dad seeking for better job opportunities moved back to Sao Paulo. However, living in the big city was far more expensive, and we end up in a poor neighborhood located fifteen miles from the downtown. I finished the high school in 1999 but instead applied for a college; I started working in one factory exactly like my father.
“What are my ideals, educational plans, and ultimate goals, how will the University of Florida help me achieve them, and why am I deserving of a scholarship?” Some enjoy playing instruments in their spare time. Others are on sports teams, take roles in community theater, or enjoy dining out. Myself though, although I am a city girl at heart from the largest city in Volusia County, I enjoy embracing my roots in agriculture through my involvement and preparation for a career in the industry. My father’s family from up north were involved in agriculture before moving south many years ago, hence my growing up in the city.
