Actually I am not that Sporty.hahaha. But I really wish to become a famous volleyball player. But this is not my very Goal. I really want to finish my studies with your assistance. My income from selling pastries at my vacant time and the salary of my father from his work is not enough to support my tuition fees and buy maintenance medication for my mom. I really wish to become a nurse to help my family as well as people who are in need especially those who have low-income, whom they can't send their children to school because of "money". I wish to become their heroine someday.I know their are a lot of applicants. But I will try my very best to become one of your scholars. If you would give me a chance, I promise to help other people who are in need if I will become a professional nurse someday, who have a stable job. I am begging for your help. I really want to finish my studies.please be my hero/heroine. It would be a great help. Thank you. May Allah bless us all. Thank you very much for another wonderful write ups.

I don't know what else to do. I am definitely going to be rejected because my story compared to others stories are going to be seen as nothing. No one has had an easy life. But it just really sucks to go on the scholarship website and read the winning essay and see that because the winner was from another country and had to walk 20 miles to get to school and hunt for their own food to avoid starving, they get the award. And this has been the case in all my scholarships I have applied to. And believe me I am not rich, my family is not even considered working class. My life is not good, but of course comparing it to the stories of children who have to hunt and gather their food, walk 10 miles to get to school, and have ten brothers and sisters they have to raise, my life is just fine and dandy. no scholarships or any help financially = no college education, for me.

If that doesn't catch someone mind then I'm not sure anything would. These clubs and activities have presidents and leaders that come from them. That sure seems like it is important to me.

Anyway I still like taking pictures if I have time do so. This is because some pictures will in one day bring people happy memory to thier life especially when they can only sit there to do nothing else. Truly speaking when there can be more than one person to apply for same scholarship, the one who can give more evidence to show this/her need of that will surely win it. If a person just completed the application with less information to support then he/she may have less chance to gain that scholarship. However there can be some instance that the reason supporting the application is so strong that the applicant does not have to make long story to convince examination board to approve that application. This is what people say as good luck! Right? Pictures for clubs, or any activity were just some old stuff for me because I have been out of high school for quite a long time.

Scholarships are out there for those of domestic violence, but what about the rape survivors? Its just as serious and less resources out there for the men and women who need the little boost to get started on the right track again. I started a campaign 3 years ago for the men and women like me, i fought to over come it, and i've been encouraging others to do so as well, i'm reaching out. But just like the police on my case, no one's coming near it with a 10 foot pole if rape is the topic.
