Having been determined to attend UBCO for nursing, I focused on taking courses with transferable credit. Though I subsequently lightened my course load, I occupied the remainder of my time devoting myself to various volunteer opportunities with diverse client populations. I believe familiarity with the hands on aspect of nursing is as essential as my education. I maintained my grades while balancing multiple volunteer opportunities to gain priceless experience caring for individuals with varying demands. Upon admission to UBCO, I will embrace the opportunity to start a full time course load while continuing the compassion and empathy I learned.…

When I first began to think about college, I was overwhelmed to say the least. More accurately, I was terrified. I had no obvious plan for the future and I didn’t know how I was going to decide where to go or what to do. I knew what I liked to do but I had no idea how interests translated into a major. It all seemed so impossible at the beginning, but as the year progressed I began to develop a goal: Meredith College. After a long period of worry and stress, I was accepted to Meredith and offered financial aid. Meredith College is my dream school and I know that’s where God wants me to grow for the next four years. I am so excited to go to school and to learn everything this important, unique school has to offer. Ever since I was little, I…
I am an 18 year old finishing up her freshman year of college. As well as playing on a collegiate soccer team. I am living on campus experiencing living on my own away from family and getting the ”opportunity” in making life decisions with little help from my parents. As a typical collegiate athlete student, I am overwhelmed with homework, sports, and trying to fit in a “life” here. As well as running on little sleep because of school catching up with me. Grace University has caused many stressful moments throughout this year, but that comes with any typical college. Classes, practices, games, SLT’s, and chapels so far have been the only part of my life and my structure at Grace. I am not generally from here, but because my dad’s side of the…

Ever since I was 10 years old, I have dreamed of going to college. Despite all the obstacles I have faced, I still wake up every morning with a fresh attitude and a new goal that will put me a few steps toward attending college. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, in a neighborhood with huge dropout rates, crime rates and a lot of drug activity. Therefore, the first step I have to take is to choose what I want to do for the rest of my life, given that I refuse to be a statistic. My mother always encouraged me to continue my education and getting to school on time and going to school everyday. Also, completing my work assignments on time, so I don't fall behind on my school work is advantageous to my learning experience. Although ninth grade is trying…
I can vividly remember the joy in my sister's voice as she yelled “they accepted me!” after opening her admissions letter to the University of Davis. Shortly after my sister's arrival on campus she quickly realized how unprepared she was mentally, physically, and financially for college. Unfortunately after her first semester she quit and has yet to return. However, my sister is not alone in her educational journey, thousands of students find themselves unprepared for the burdens of being a full time college student. While the high school graduation rate is at an all time high of eighty-two percent, the college graduation rate is declining to forty-one percent.…

Since I was young, college was the main goal. I knew that college was the necessary step I had to achieve if I ever wanted to become successful in life. Now coming in as a junior in college I’ve learned way more then I had anticipated before I started. Not only have I learned about new things in my environment and what is happening in the world but I have learned about myself and what I want in life. College has given me the opportunity to experience new things, have more opportunities, experience new people and personalities, and focus on how to become the best person I can possibly be. Trying to maintain a 3.5 GPA and making sure I’m on the right path to what career I want to pursue can be difficult at times but I understand that if I ever…
Nursing school was never meant to be easy. Being accepted to the program was already a challenge and long journey that requires patience, perseverance, and knowledge. The moment I received that acceptance letter to the nursing program, mixed emotions filled my mind and soul. I asked myself a question, “Am I physically, psychologically, and spiritually ready for this?” Funny that I worked hard to get into the program, but then question myself afterwards. First day of nursing school was very overwhelming honestly. It was like as if a bomb of information was dropped right in front me. I did not know where to start and which ones to prioritize. As the week progressed, I have learned to adjust. Attending to Breakfast Club sessions with Mrs. Hider,…
For as long as I could remember, I have wanted to be a nurse. I have been responsible for the care of my brother who has special needs since I was a little girl.

I will begin my college education in the Summer 2016 semester at Northwestern State University. I am really excited about my future and feel that with the opportunity your scholarship will provide, I can help a lot of people.…
Going into the final straw of my high school career has been challenging but any goal can be accomplished. Doing well in my classes is something I strive for all the time and continuing to do well so that I get accepted into the college of my choice is one of my priorities. In addition, staying on top of my current college classes so that I can receive my associate's degree alongside my high school diploma is a goal I've deeply been striving for. Subsequently, I will then be attending a four-year university to major in biology with a focus on pre-physician assistant studies. Throughout this time period reaching smaller goals such as shadowing, passing exams, participating in clubs and volunteering all help me to get into physician assistant…
When I graduated high school, I was determine to become a nurse. I didn’t have much support because many people doubted me, but I didn’t let that put me down. I applied for many colleges and surprisingly got accepted to all of them, then I chose UMSL. When I started my freshmen year at UMSL, I knew that this journey was not going to be easy. But because of my determination I was able to passed all my prerequisite class . I remember when I applied for clinical, I was afraid that I wouldn’t make it. I pray every night because I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t make it to clinical. Then I received the letter from the college of nursing, and when I saw the word “congratulation”, I was more than happy. I don’t even know how to describe that…
