My urge to a higher education will lead the way to a successful career and possibly a beautiful home in a good community. I will also be able to set a good example for my little sister and my nephews and nieces. Having them realize that although our family has struggle for many years due to these intuitions that oppress us there’s always a way around it. I feel privilege in a sense because the struggles that my older family members went through were lived experiences that made me stronger and strive for a better outcome. The endless nights that my parents worked to provide me with food and shelter has kept me alive long enough to change history. I have also come to realize that these forms of Institutional Racism exist on many levels. The fact that we were redlined and segregated from good neighborhoods with lack of proper resources leads my brothers to dropping out of school. Forcing them to work at fast food places living check by check causing stress upon which lead them to gangs. Which eventually had them in jail facing time due to these forms of…

Finding the right college is hard for some seniors but for me it was simple. From the first time I stepped onto the College of Coastal Georgia campus I knew that was where I was meant to start the next big step of my life. At CCG I am also able to play softball on a $4500 athletic scholarship. I am thankful for my scholarship and blessed to have the opportunity to move on and become a collegiate athlete. However, it still does not help pay for the rest of my college expenses which my parents cannot afford to help pay. This scholarship will not only help me complete part of my educational goal, but it will also help full fill a huge financial need. This scholarship will help me in many ways.…
I deserve to win this scholarship for many reasons. I have worked hard most of my life, academically . I have always dreamed of building and designing houses since I was 9 years old. I always told my mom that I was destined to build homes for people. I asked my mom one day what exactly is the name of what I want to be and she said to me that finding out the name of what it was I wanted to be myself would have more importance than her telling me. That's when I tought myself how to use a computer and I found two results: Architecture and Interior Design.…
