Educational opportunities, spiritual doctrine, and parental guidance influence a person’s character.

I know many people need this scholarship more than I do; they have it a lot harder than I do. However in my eyes, getting this scholarship is not for me. It is truly for my daughter’s future.

1st Draft Scholarship Essay I’m a farm boy stuck in the city, Kansas City, Kansas to be more specific. I was born here, but I was raised on my father’s ranch in Tuxcueca, Jalisco, Mexico. I always wondered why I felt out of place here in the United States, it’s a big change from the smell of green fields to exhaust fumes. I’m used to delivering calves and planting corn, riding a horse through the fields, rather than being struck in traffic on my phone. This is why I want to be a Large Animal…

I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school. Tallahassee is a city of containing and surrounded by many events and…
