| About You | |||||||||
| What hobbies and other personal interests do you have? | I am very interested in the music industry. I myself like to write and produce music in hopes of releasing on a platform soon. I use this musical skill to assist the worship team at my church by either playing an instrument or running the sound board. I also love playing video games and Dungeons and Dragons during my free time. | ||||||||
| Please explain why you are continuing your education. | I am continuing my education in hopes for a comfortable future, not only for me but for my family as well. I have decided to take a more difficult route, going to one of the largest and best schools in Texas (Texas A&M University), on top of a major in Biology in order to set myself up for great success. My dream is to go into the medical field, more specifically become a PA as of right now, and with that I can be able to be fruitful with my finances and help support those in my family who struggle. In continuing my education, I hope to live a blessed life with the ability to bless other people. | ||||||||
| This area can be used to pass along any other information about yourself that you feel might be relevant to this application. | I am currently enrolled at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, and I will beginning my freshman year there this fall. I got accepted to this prestigious because I qualified for automatic admission. In order to do this, I had to be in the top 10% of my class. I was able to remain in the top 8% of my class for the last 2 years! I believe I did this by maintaining an A average in all of my classes. Doing that alone was a nightmare due to all of my sports, clubs, and other extracurricular activities. Everyday I was staying after school for at least 2 hours for something, most of the time I had to go to another club or sport after I finished with the first one. Attendance was also a factor in the struggle of keeping my rank high. Because of my super busy schedule I was rarely in the classroom. This caused me to miss a lot of lecture time, and forced me to figure things out on my own. Luckily, I have gotten quite used to that throughout my high school career, and I was able to get all of my assignments in on time with no issue. Figuring things out on my own gave me a great sense of logistics and this helped me with tests with material that I knew nothing about. According to my counselor, I passed my math TSI with flying colors, which I was surprised to hear about since I was clueless during the test. Because of all of these reasons, I believe I earned my place in Texas A&M University. Though it took some perseverance, I know that these skills I have developed will allow me to fit in just fine over there, and allow me to pursue my dream of graduating as an Aggie. | ||||||||
| Tell us about your dreams or goals for the future. | As stated before, my dream is to graduate college as an Aggie, and with being accepted to Texas A&M University I am one step closer to achieving that. I am majoring in Biology, a very difficult major, but doing this will allow me to achieve my dream of being in the medical field, and more specifically, becoming a PA. This job in a good area will ensure me and my family a comfortable, blessed life. However, in order to do this I must take things one step at a time, and continue to take the opportunities -like this scholarship- that give me the ability to go and prosper in this prestigious school. |
