Who Am I Attending College

As a child, my sights were set on college, and I was raised to believe that I could make a change. Though I am not sure what impact my life will have in this world yet, I am certain that the correct path for me is to attend college.

That being said, I intend to keep up my determination and strive for my personal best, both through my academics and my involvement with the community during college. This scholarship will aid me in reaching my goals and aspirations, as well as creating a promising future for myself. I have been fortunate enough to be awarded many leadership opportunities and have thrived in the environment.
