Osborne High School
Growing up my mom has always encouraged my siblings and I to continue our education to as far as college. My mother never really got the chance to attend college because her family could not afford to put all their kids in school. She had seven siblings and an extra bill for school was not something her parents were able to afford. I consider myself really lucky to be alive in a time where there are so many opportunities to be able to afford college. If it were not for scholarships and financial aid, my mother’s story would be repeated once again. Through financial aid, the door for a college career is opened for me and I’m willing to enter it. My biggest motivator to push myself academically has been my
mother. She works incredibly hard to provide for my family. As I see the struggle my mom faces in working two jobs, I tell myself that I will persevere to make my dream and my mother’s dream come true. The dream of obtaining a college degree seems like an unrealistic goal if I were to depend of money out of my pocket, but with scholarships that dream can become a reality.
Receiving this scholarship would really mean the world to me. Going to college has been my main goal since my freshman year in high school. Having some financial support would really aid me in my transition from high school to college. As fall semester gets closer I have to find money to be able to pay for school supplies and tuition. Not having to worry so much about how I going pay for schooling would allow me to put my worries at ease.
