1. What would you like to study in college/university? Do you know what type of career you want to pursue? (Describe your educational and career goals.)
Theatre has always been my passion. Nobody told me to pursue theatre, it was a choice that I made my freshman year. I knew I loved to sing, so I figured this would be a good opportunity for me to participate at a new school. After being one of two Freshmen chosen, I knew I had something special. I continued pursuing performing, and I grew to love getting on stage and performing for crowds. I plan on pursuing a BFA in Theatre Performance to further educate myself and to give hope to young girls and boys who are told they won't make it doing what they love. This is my main goal, and I would …show more content…
This means we will not have a stable source of income as a family. My mother needs to take care of my younger siblings, and with two older children that will be in college it is horribly stressful for her. She knows what she can pay for my college education, so it is up to me to somehow make up the rest of it. I want to show my siblings that they are enough, and that they are allowed to fight for what they want in life, I never want to see them give up. So by applying for scholarships that will help me pay for my education, I will show my younger brother and sister that they are worth so much more than bullies, or society tells them. They are not dumb, they are not “beaners”, or lazy, or stealing anyone’s jobs. We have been taught to work hard for our life and education. I know I deserve to travel to New York and make something of myself. I am worthy of better things than what society has deemed I am worthy of. This scholarship will make me one step closer to proving to society that the daughter of an immigrant, who loves and embraces her culture, deserves to be in the spotlight. She deserves the chance to make a …show more content…
I know that I spread my culture to these children by teaching them bits of Spanish everyday, and helping them understand my Mexican values everyday. I have one student who does not understand why I am so close with my siblings and why when they drop me off at work I say things like, “Bye mama,” or “Bye mijo!” I explain to him that family is the basis of many Hispanic and Latino households. Our whole lives revolve around supporting one another and caring after each other. So when I call them those names it is because of how close we are, not because they are actually my mother or son. In today’s world is important to make sure they understand these Hispanic values. If they understand us as a people, then they won’t be as susceptible to the lies that politics and society use to demean minorities. I love that the kids are so receptive, and I know that the way I explain my culture helps this. I take on this role so that the children I tutor grow up to be understanding young people. I know that with the explanations that I give them, the tamarindo candy rewards, and the little spanish lessons, are teaching them not to judge a book by it's cover. I’m proud that I am using my culture and my leadership skills in harmony, to teach the next generation to be kind to one
