Free Money 4ur Education

I am a individual who has dreams and aspirations to be a doctor in the future. I am very energetic and very talented, I can adjust to my environment depending the challenges I have to face in life. I have been applying to various scholarships due to my economic background to help me financially in my college life.

I am an English major with an emphasis in Creative Writing at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

Since I had made the decision to begin attending college atage 22, my mind has expanded into a new world I had no idea I would enter. Bothof my parents objected to the idea of me furthering my education. In theireyes, I was better off working at any job I could get into, until I found arich husband to take care of me. I followed their instructions besides thelatter, which I am too independent of a person to fit into that kind oflifestyle.  

 I worked at variousdead-end jobs for four years and had lost hope for my future. A friendsuggested I go to school so I could work at a job I enjoyed. Money was anissue. However I went down to the financial aid office to see if there were anyprograms I would be applicable for.

In the past 4yrs I have been going to school part time, Ihave re-evaluated what I want to do with my future. I have finally decided onan Accounting/Business degree. I am attending a certificate program forAccounting, and at the beginning of the Fall semester I will be just sixclasses shy of an A.S. in Business.

I am hoping that I will be lucky enough to receive ascholarship so that I could pay for living expenses and hopefully put a dent inthe amount of student loans I now have. It would help me greatly and Iappreciate the consideration.

I am currently a freshman at Fisk University and come from Ghana,West Africa.At Fisk,i currently serve as a member on the Debate Team and the Publications Staff.My greatest moments are voluntarily tutoring sunday school kids at church as well as high school kids in Nashville,particularly around Fisk.

I love laughing,reading and inspiring other people.

I am a very hard-working student and I try my best to excel in all my endeavors. I currently am attending Florida State University with a 3.977 GPA. I have made straight A's thus far and am currently a Junior.

I am employed by the Florida State University Libraries as of August 2010, but am still in need of money.

I'm trying really hard not to burden my parents. They've given everything for me and it is the least I can do to reciprocate by financially burdening them as little as possible.

Currently I am a part of Phi Eta Sigma and the American Library Association on campus.

I graduated Cum Laude in High school with a 4.23 GPA. Was a member of Band, French Club, a part of the School paper, Anime Club, Writing Club and have won various awards through all of them and have held various leadership positions such as Band President, Librarian and Clarinet & Bass Clarinet Section Leader; French Historian, Journalism Financial Editor, etc.
