My decision to apply for the NCCC scholarships stems from the perfect platform it provides to pursuing the interest I developed in Nursing whilst in Senior High School. During my Senior High School days in Ghana, my class visited the sick in some hospitals and upon seeing their agony and the way some nurses were maltreating some of the patience, I said to myself, I will become a nurse to offer comfort and care to the sick. I noticed during my interactions with some of the sick especially the…

What motivates you? My son will always be my biggest motivation. He is one of the main reasons I started college. He will be turning two in July, and he always loves to receive a new ball. I would buy him one every day; if I could afford it, just to see the smile that lights up his face. To introduce, I am a psychology major at Southern New Hampshire University. I chose this major because it called to me. I have always struggled with anxiety and depression, and I believe it will be helpful to my…

overcome many obstacles. The work given in high school can not be compared to the work we get in college. I feel like high school did not prepare me enough for college as far as the workload and standards go. High school lacked many things in preparing me for college, teachers were satisfied as long as you did the work. They did not teach us to be perfectionist which is a trait needed to be successful in college, they were okay with accepting sub par work and rewarding it with a decent or good…

has been developed by many colleges to give them the chance to play basketball among their peers. We should do the same for those handicapped classmates in college so we can create an equal playing field for everyone.

I’ve never felt so accomplished in my life before, I have been waiting since every young for this day to come. I always hated school because of its long hours behind a desk listening to a teacher lecture about a subject. It was the same routine for thirteen years, starting with kindergarten had to wake up early to get to school, after school then go home to do homework, and sleep. With being so eager to graduate, I never took a second to pause and just take it in to appreciate my life.…

This was the moment of my life in which it was full of excitement and anxiousness. It was my last year in middle school and soon I was going to face high school. It was already May and before school ended I had a field trip of my art class to attend. It was one of those field trips that only a few kids were selected to go. From the whole class my teacher only chose 6 students to go. The group of students he selected included me and my best friend Serena. Serena was a very shy and quiet person…

as beyond it. Apart from the academics, I participated in various extracurricular activities like competitions, sport events in my school and college. I am also an active member of an NGO named “Help Us to Help the Child” (H.U.H.C.), which thrives on an aim of educating the under privileged children. This NGO was a joint initiative taken up during my college days and with a few…

the decision to seek me out was a difficult one, the unspoken anxiety hanging in the air. Having hardly worked together a week, this staff member was trusting me immensely to confide complications in his life, specifically and most recently in his college experience. It was this encounter that began our authentic working relationship, spending most of the time listening to this person rapidly describe feelings of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, panic, and struggling with decisions. Throughout…
