Personal Statement: Full Time Virtual College Student
I currently work full time as a Healthcare Recruiter while attending school as a Full Time Virtual College student. In addition, I take care of my adult sister who is chronically sick and has been unemployed for almost 2 years. I am unfortunate to be in a place where I can be of assistance to my sister and take care of her finanically more than 50% of the time. However, returning to school full time and paying for the cost of attendance while taking care of another adult has created a lot of financial hardship and stress.

While I am trying to find more work and remaining steadfast to my path and responsibilities, I remain grateful to find opportunities like the one your foundation is providing to students like myself. It makes me feel that

    Throughout my high school experience, the one memory I remember the most that helped me the most would have to be the time I interned at a local non-profit, Lettuce Live Well.

I decided to work with a non-profit because I knew I would get all the experience I can get while getting to work head on with the local community; this was what made it all worth it. The one place that I found I can get the most experience while still connecting with the local community was an organization call Lettuce Live Well.…

    At the start of spring semester my freshman year I had an outstanding balance with my home institution. This balance caused me a lot of stress and the time that I should’ve spending study was instead being spent on worrying on thoughts of how I might not be able to return in the fall. Fortunately with the money I earned through my internship that summer I was able to bring my remaining balance down low enough for me to enroll for classes. However in order to not put myself in that position I took on numerous jobs on campus, spreading myself too thin and not leaving enough space for my studies. After talking with my professors and getting their advice I was able to manage being both a full time student and working the hours of a full time employee.…

    Through UA Early College, I believe the program can help me accomplish my goals of expanding my studies for my majors, prepare me for when I become a full time college student, and uplift my chances of being accepted into college after I graduate high school. The classes that UA Early College offers will benefit me to obtain the information I need to earn the degree for my majors. For instance, the principles of biology 1 and 2, general chemistry, and general physics 1 and 2 are all in which the courses that are required to aid my studies in health science to apply in the work force of dentistry.

It really struck me how hard it was to get a decent paying job without a degree. I made a promise to myself that within the next 5 years I may have to work part time jobs during the winter, but I would work toward my degree as well so that way I can get a good job so if my husband gets laid off we aren’t struggling as much as we were this past…
