I have been accepted at Luzerne County Community College for the fall 2015 semester.  I plan on pursuing an Associate Degree, Registered Nurse.  It is my faith that my preferred profession will allow me to realize my aspiration. My aspiration is to help other people and to widen my knowledge fundamentals. In the whole spectrum of my life, I have not only taken apart in extracurricular activities but also in precious volunteer services. In order to endeavor for academic excellence, I have constantly managed working in order to support my education related expenses. The drivers which supported me working hard towards my aspiration are my academics, my work experience, my mom (an ideal personality from same field) and my volunteer community exercises.
I have a good academic record with the choice of demanding courses. I have been actively participated in class activities and helped others. This is why; I have planned to continue my studies for a Bachelors Degree in Nursing.
In addition to my academics, I have built up strong leadership skills by the means of interacting with a lot of people during my job and sports hours. In order to meet my education related expenditures, I am working as a member of FFA (Future Farmers of America) for 4 years, as a reporter for 3 years. I have been a member of girls’ basketball team for 6 years. For past 4 years, I have been volunteered myself to Biddy Basketball in assisting younger students with basketball skills. I have also excelled at rebounds and foul shots (90% average) for post/forward position. I have been a part of girls track team for last one year. I was clocked as fastest girl in the team at my school therefore; I am practicing sports on daily basis. I am also working at Pony Party Paradise in order to provide pony rides to children, and to care for the ponies and the animals in the pet zoo. 
Furthermore, I have inspiration from the ideal of my life i.e. my mom. She is a Registered Nurse in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. I have also wished to become a Registered Nurse in the Criminal Justice setting in order to promote health for inmates so that once they are released; they could maintain a healthy lifestyle not only for themselves but also for other people.
In community services, my track record is also good since I had been involved in many activities. Actually, I was born and raised on 100 acre beef farm and I had been involved in laying hens and meeting chickens from my childhood. I had been caring for the cattle herd and the chickens which helped me into healthy lifestyle. I was also awarded with FFA Keystone Degree for calculating all the agriculture work done outside of school. I did my senior project on adolescent asthma in which I scored 95% in the report writing and presentation. I had been volunteered myself at Bonham's Nursing Center for 2 years.
My family has always been striving for the finance related issues. My father is not much qualified so he is a farmer and excavator by profession. Since beef prices fluctuate therefore, we cannot rely on the income coming from it. In fact, we have been facing losses from past few years. My mom went back to college and graduated when I was 7, and she is still paying for those loans. So, another loan would be hard to pay back and college tuition would be a mere burden to manage. After becoming a registered nurse, I am aimed to endow something evocative to the patients. This is the reason scholarship is my utmost need!
