My unwavering academic goal is to attain a Bachelor's degree in nursing and specialize in the field of neurology. Rooted in an innate passion for aiding others and a commitment to serving my community. The crucial need for scholarship support is deeply intertwined with my desire to fully immerse myself in the rigorous nursing curriculum without the burden of a full-time job. By alleviating financial pressures, the scholarship will enable me to prioritize my education and pursue my goals without hesitation. Looking forward, I aspire to secure a more permanent leadership role that will empower incoming students to connect with vital resources on campus. As a first-generation college student, I have shouldered 100% of my financial responsibilities and overcome various challenges to achieve remarkable milestones. Pursuing my bachelor's degree has underscored the fruits of labor born from self-discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to personal development.
