First, the legacy I want to leave at McKeel is my sense of dedication and goal setting. These qualities were obtained through trial and error, however, they are qualities I am proud of. Once I set my mind to something and make it a "goal" I will not stop until I complete that goal, and complete that goal perfectly at that.

Thanks to McKeel, I have had the opportunity to take enough AP classes and Dual Enrollment classes to almost get an AA degree. I hope to have completed a Bachelors degree in 2-3 years and start P.A. school early. In five years, I can start a career in a field I have always been passionate about and finally put my skills and knowledge to the test. With these skills and knowledge I hope to be able to travel to multiple third world countries, like Haiti, and provide medical care to those in dire need. I have been blessed to have a roof over my head, food in my mouth, and clothes on my back. I hope to one day give back to those who weren't as fortunate as I. With this being said, I can not complete my "five year goal" without financial help. My parents have two other (twin) children to take care of after me, they do not have the financial ability to pay a full time students college tuition, board, food plan, and books. I have personally made the decision to relieve my parents from paying my tuition, board, and books. It is my dream and goal to fulfill a higher education, not my parents. Thus, it is my job to pay for my own schooling. My parents have given me so much and I am extremely thankful for that but now they need to focus on my twin siblings and their expenses. This scholarship will help me pay for a portion of my tuition. This will be extremely helpful to me
