    I believe that I deserve the “Courage to Grow” Scholarship, because I’m very determined and take my education seriously. Both during college and high school I faced a series of obstacles such as living at a women’s shelter at the age of sixteen, the death of my grandmother and cousin my freshman and sophomore year of college, and attending counseling for emotional abuse and a risk for developing an eating disorder. I overcame each obstacle despite the mental stress. There were rough patches with my grades at the beginning of college, but I worked hard each semester to raise my GPA, and make honor roll. I’m a fist generation college student, and earned my associates in arts from Longview Community College, and will attend the University of…

With that said, it was mainly up the individual to take learning into their own hands. During my first year, my teacher noticed my skills and saw lots of potential in, which made me eligible to participate in the Skills USA competition. Say the least, I finished with a gold medal in the state of New Jersey, making me further eligible for competing in Skills USA nationals competition.…
