AK Steel Foundation Scholarship
Firstly, I have lived in Columbiana County Ohio for my entire life. Additionally, I will be studying for a degree in pharmacy, a field of science. Furthermore, I have always excelled in mathematics and science. When in 6th grade, I received a near perfect score on my math standardized test, the highest score my school had ever seen, I was placed in the most advanced level math classes my school offered. Therefore, I took academic integrated algebra I in eighth grade and I am now in Youngstown State University’s Calculus I class. I have taken all my science classes at an academic level; however, my school does not offer any higher level science courses. I have taken both Chemistry …show more content…
In eighth grade I took academic integrated algebra I, in ninth grade I took two Kent State University College computer classes, in tenth grade I took AP US History and AP Language, in eleventh grade I took Chemistry, AP Government and Politics, and AP Literature, and in twelfth grade I took Youngstown State University’s College Writing I, American Literature, Communications, and Calculus courses, and Physics. Also I have participated in numerous clubs including: Science Club, English Honors, English Festival, AP History Club, Leo Club, Envirothon, Varsity B, and National Honor Society. My favorite organization is National Honor Society, in which I am the president of and put immense time into. Through NHS, I have been able to initiate multitudes of successful community service programs along with working great and inspiring students, teachers, and people. I have also attended Buckeye Girls’ State to which I will forever hold fond memories of because not only did I get to learn about and create a government but I also learned how to enhance my people and communication skills. Finally, I have completed a total of 267 hours of community service in high school (my first two years were difficult because both my parents worked and I could not drive to attend programs). I find my time as a Camp Fitch counselor the most rewarding because I got to be a role model for younger students and make their time at camp a fun and memorable

    Rationale For Seeking Specialization In A Clinical Counseling Program Case Study

    For my sixty hours of volunteer work I decided to volunteer at a Child Life Center which was in a poverty stricken area in Norfolk, Va. At the child life center my job as a volunteer was to assist the children with their homework, help the staff monitor the children on local field trips, as well as serve as a positive role model for the children. The experience I had at Park Place Child Life Center was one I will honestly never forget. Although I didn’t get any actual counseling experience, I was able to learn the ways that the non-profit organization received their funding, I was able to gain experience in working with the youth, and I was also able to make a positive impact on the lives of children who were considered “at-risk youth”. To go there every day and be able to see the change the children had in their behaviors and how much just some attention and affection from adults impacted their behaviors was honestly amazing.…

    Texas A & M Scholarship Essay

    As children, our parents shape our ideas and opinions. When I was a child I thought Texas A&M was the only university my parents would let me attend based on the way they talked about it. I thought that they would not help pay for my college if I went anywhere else. It was not until I was in high school that I realized that Texas A&M was the only university I wanted to attend. I would like to study at Texas A&M to continue my family tradition, for the opportunities it offers after graduation and to be admitted to the dental school with a great education behind me.…

    Florida A & M University Scholarship Essay

    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 opportunities, so no matter your preferred “scene,” you are likely to be able to find something you do. Another upside to FAMU’s location is that it also places me very close to my mother and the rest of my maternal family, who I had previously not gotten to see almost since elementary school.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Doing Community Services With LTW Staff

    Doing community services with LTW staffs is profoundly enjoyable and meaningful. Serving in Harlem food bank impacted me the most.
