“This scholarship is important to me because it will allow me to pursue my dreams without being an additional financial burden on my family. It will allow me to truly focus on myself and my studies, while striving to thrive in a new environment. I am passionate about biomedical sciences and the body, and this scholarship is a vital step towards creating a successful future. After graduating high school, I intend on finishing my undergraduate degree at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Then, I plan to attend medical school to become an ophthalmologist. This scholarship will not only help me complete my education but also enable me to continue to work hard to make a positive impact on others. I am committed to giving back to the community and using my education to change the lives of others, similar to how mine was changed with one eye surgery. Thank you for investing in my future and helping me take the next step toward achieving my big dreams.”
