Since I was a young girl, I've always had a desire to become a Pediatric Nurse because of my interest in children and medicine. I knew that to be able to achieve my goal, I would have to continue my education after high school and go on to college. The only problem in my way was the money for tuition. I knew that my father wasn't going to help pay for college nor my mother since she would not have enough money to help me; so I always tried my best in school. I've applied to scholarships but only been successful with one. The reason I'm applying to the John I Leonard Scholarship is because I hope to receive a scholarship of any amount, to be able, to be a little closer in achieving my dream of paying for college; to not only earn my AA degree
