    Why do you want to be a physician assistant?” I have been asked this question so many times that I can almost tell when someone is about to ask me that before they do. Through deep reflection, volunteering at clinics and hospitals, shadowing doctors, and leadership experiences and seminars in college, the thought of dedicating my life towards saving others provides me with prodigious satisfaction and convinces me that my life’s efforts have created a huge positive impact in the world. Becoming a physician assistant was not a decision I made at the drop of a hat, instead it’s a summation of signs and events and a culmination of self-realization and a life-long dream. I am ready and willing to continue to devote myself towards achieving this…

    I plan on taking as many transferable science credits as I can here, then move on to Iowa State University for an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and a graduate degree in Veterinary Medicine, large and small animal.

These involved earning certification as a Phlebotomist Technician and as a Nursing Assistant, practically guaranteeing a job that will provide both clinical and laboratory experience, as well as avoiding a career in fast food.…

    I think I should be considered for the Whitten Scholarship because I work hard, I’m a leader, and I’m self motivated. Juggling between being in three sports, being social, and being on the Honor Roll every year was not an easy task. I always put my school work first, but finding a balance between everything else was a task not everyone could handle as successfully as I did. In addition to my busy in school schedule, during the summer I stayed busy too. When I did have football practice or workouts, I was working at the local cable company D & P Communications.…

    If I was awarded this scholarship it would greatly help me offset some of the costs of college. In order to pay for school I rely on student loans, and my dad takes money out of his retirement fund to pay for the remaining amount that I owe. It is difficult to ask my parents for money for tuition because I know my dad will be retiring soon, so every dollar he gives me results in him having to work longer before he can retire. If I was awarded this scholarship it would put a lot less stress on my family because they wouldn’t have come up with the money each semester. It would also result in me being able to pay my dad back much sooner so that he can retire.…
