I have other come a lot of adversity growing up. My sister feel mentally ill and was sent away for a few months. In the small community I was raised in meant that everyone knew everything. Other than the teachers and the hospital nurses, no one else knew why she was gone. A few teachers would oppressed me as only an eighth grader and would point me out whenever they could. Also, my sister's classmates would drive by the house and question us where she went and each time we said she was sick. It was rather hard when one of the nurses saw her in the hospital then the nurses daughter spread around why she disappeared. I stayed in that small school to watch my sister. I went through bullying and difficult struggles just so I could make sure that …show more content…
This scholarship will allow me to achieve my dreams and could help others too even if they think they're limited for financial reasons. Part of my dream is to be debt free for when I start anew by myself and this scholarship would allow me to do so along with the other scholarships. In 10 year I want to be living my life. I hope to be enjoying my job as a nurse in a hospital. I want to be involved with the community even if I live in a big city. As a nurse, I want to be one of the best that will even make a crying little kid have a great day. I plan on having my associates degree in general studies and a bachelors in nursing, but I'm hoping that I won't have to return to school after that. I do want to adopt an animal and maybe foster an one too just so I'm not only helping people, but animals …show more content…
Many people were sexist and rude saying how I couldn't reach a higher rank and/or how I'd always be a weak, little girl. I've been bullied from a young age and this is when I had my first taste of it. I felt strong until I became the laughing joke. I trained longer and harder just to prove them wrong. I started by waking up every morning at 5 am and went to sleep at 9 pm. Every day I became more confident in myself. When I finally did take my black belt test, I was nervous and my brain would just repeat the horrid phrases people spoke about me. I overcame my nerves after the first of many tests and started to focus on the task at hand. By the end of the testing, I was ecstatic for achieving this accomplishment. When I came back home, I brought my belt to school so I could prove those who doubted me wrong. By doing this, I started to believe in myself more and not let others block my path to
I want to be a neonatal nurse practitioner, the reason I want to become a neonatal nurse is because I have a real soft spot for baby. To be a neonatal nurse you have to give special attention to all type of babies. You have to focuses on taking care of ill or newborn infants. You don’t just have to work with infants you will have to work with the family members. I will be able to get close to family member and inform them how the infant is doing and is wrong with the baby.
First I got my white belt in the other side I was kind of nervous because everyone their are strangers to me. The first thing I did was breaking boards with a front kick. And I thought that was easy. I started taekwondo when I was 9 years. Why wanted to be a blackbelt you ask here's your answer to protect myself. Taekwondo made me focus on my education more. My journey to black belt did not start with me walking by the academy and enrolling as is the experience of many students. I was told to either put in a 110 percent effort in it, or to have a seat. Basically, my mom told not to make any arguments. I decided to push myself more than I can ever imagine to being the
Before earning my black belt, I never saw myself as someone who could accomplish great things. I always undermined myself by not using my full potential. I rarely tried to prove myself correct when someone else shot down my statement because I did not know I had the tenacity to take action.
Everyone has difficult obstacles in their lives. I have had a few myself and they each have changed me for the better. My most profound experience was being repeatedly molested as a child. I wasn't aware of exactly what was happening to me. I didn't know being touched was wrong. I just knew how disgusting it made me feel, but I didn't tell anyone at the time. I shared this publicly as an adult to help other parents realize that children need to be protected. It was a long journey to reach to the point where I could speak about my experiences with anyone. These experiences from my childhood affected me deeply; however, I have overcome them, learned from them and I have contributed at a higher level because of them.
Going to class everyday without fail, reviewing and completely perfecting the five years of curriculum I had so carefully worked through, to the point where everything was completely automatic, and preparing for the fifty push-up requirement, were not enough. The black-belt test requires creativity through my creation of a personal kata and a self-defense to every attack I had learned. Beyond this, physical endurance and stamina are required in order to spar for ten minutes straight at the end of the four hour test, with a fresh opponent every minute. The black-belt test was the most physically grueling challenge I had ever faced and was much more mentally exhausting than any academic
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
I chose to find strength in my bullied experiences. As I began to look at my situation differently and I became grateful for all that seemed to be going well for me in life. I had a lot to be thankful for, I wish I realized that sooner. I was healthy and had a roof over my head, I had two loving parents who cared for me, and a strong friend support system. I was privileged and God blessed me with a wonderful life.
I spent every night learning and reviewing material while trying to learn the ends and outs of middle school. The day finally came for my first-degree black belt test. I had to recite everything I trained for from the past seven years to receive my belt. The five-hour long test was physically and emotionally draining. During the test, I choked.
I tested the limits of my surroundings. Learn the rules and how to break them. I played with the routine even when there was none. I tried everything. I for sure know the basics and way more than that.
This scholarship would greatly help my family and I. It would help me greatly because I am paying for my schooling by myself, and it would help cut down all my other costs for my family. I pay for my schooling out, but my parents pay for just about everything else. I try to make straight A’s in school, work as much as I can, and help out my neighbor as much as I can. It would help cut costs for both of us. I pay for my college education, while my parents pay for almost everything else in my life.
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.
An African American male living in poverty trying to just make it out the “hood” is the typical sob story; but mine is different. I attend one of the lowest funded schools in San Antonio and still my grades are beautiful. I’m associated in school groups, the track team, Mentor programs, Leadership programs and also the National Honors Society. I participate in community activities, help raise money for my community, and involve myself in community work for hours. So although I may live and go to school on the poverty side of town which also happens to be the lowest funded school in my city; do you think that’s stopping me from succeeding?
“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.
This scholarship would be a tremendous help on my academic journey to success. I feel like I deserve this scholarship because I have the credentials and the work ethic to make it far in the career I would like to pursue, which is law. In the career field of my choice it takes a lot of time, money, studying, work ethic, etc. to be successful. Looking at my accomplishments and how much I already knew about law in high school many of my peers, teachers, counselors, etc. have already said that I look like a fabulous lawyer, sound like a great lawyer, and that I’m on track to reaching my dream in life, which is a PhD. in law and to become a supreme court judge. Obtaining this scholarship will be a help to further my education and to help people
I grew up in a big family and a small town. My whole life prior to college, I lived with my four siblings and my parents outside of Convoy, Ohio. Both of my parents have done their very best to provide for our large family financially. Convoy is a small village surrounded by a rural farming community with a K-12 School called Crestview High School. Crestview is the center of the village and where I received all of my primary education.
