    I feel like I am a good candidate for this scholarship because, as a senior, any and all money earned and received will help me ease the burden of attending college. My goal throughout my whole childhood was to receive a full ride scholarship to the college of my dreams; however, as time has gone on and I have matured I have come to the realization that, that dream is not as achievable as I once believed it to be.

Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…

The reasoning for this is that about a year ago, my mom had a heart attack. Her doctor informed my family that it was just about a 100% blockage in her heart and I remember how it felt when I had heard that; my heart shattered and I thought about how my entire life was going to change.
