That 's why I have chosen to attend Northeast Lakeview College for the first two years of college then transfer to the University of Texas San Antonio for the last two years of college. This decision wasn’t easy and still isn 't solid because those who have attended college before know that you have to meet all requirements and be accepted in before planning any next steps; so this is only the beginning to a bright, luxurious future also known as my…
At one point in most everyone's life they dream of making a difference in their community. They want to make it a better place. This is one of many dreams that I wish to accomplish. My plan is to use this scholarship to help set a better example for the younger generation in my tribal community.

There have been many disasters in human history that have changed the way we think as individuals and as society. Some include the creation of the atomic bomb and the decades of fear of the end of the world after that. Chernobyl and the way society in general thinks about nuclear power. All of these modern day life changing events are quite small compared to The Black Death of 1350-1450. During this time, people looked towards the heavens for questions they couldn’t answer.…

The Holocaust made me think differently about what is going on around me and be aware of what decisions are being made for me politically. I have grown tremendously in taking this course and I wish I could take it again and again to learn more. At the beginning of the class we started reading the Bergen book and I was mad about it. That book was so technical and boring that it brought tears to my eyes.…
I have always been fond of museums. However, besides on the island of the Commonwealth of Dominica, I have never received the opportunity to experience or admire another country’s museum. As such, this opportunity has not only been to complete a history assignment with excellence, but, it has allowed me to cling to the museum as it is now my favorite place at the Grambling State University. Furthermore, such experience has granted me the long-awaited chance to embrace another country’s museum. Above all else, this opportunity has been an exhilarating educative eye opener.…
New York University, or NYU, is a four-year, private, large, and co-ed university. NYU is located in arguably the best city in the world, New York. NYU is my dream school because of its great Journalism program, the many job and internship opportunities, and the chance to live in a somewhat campus setting in the middle of New York City. Although there isn’t a cohesive NYU campus, the academic buildings and residence halls surround Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village.…

After the taxing summer heat, and humidity all through the year, I seek the crisp breeze of winter air in New York. The east coast is what draws me to Syracuse.

Ever since I was a child a city has symbolized everything I wanted in life: opportunities, culture, and adventure. Syracuse University provides a city thrill while maintaining small town life with its intimate community and alumni relationships.…
The course of human history and personal destiny has changed more by the spoken word than by the written word. Many of the major turning points in your own life were when someone said something to you that affected you so profoundly that ever afterwards your thinking, your feelings and your actions were different.
