A humanitarian is a person promoting human welfare and social reform. In other words, to be a humanitarian is to care about life and help make a change for the betterment of life in general for the general populace or even a specified group that required the help.

She doesn't have to be, at least not to the extent that she is. But she wants to be able to give my brother and I the things she never had as a kid and wants us to be able to do things she was never able to do. My mom is an accountant. She never finished college though, because she met my papí, got married, and had kids. In the past, she has worked for three or more employers part-time, with close to full-time hours. During tax season my brother and I barely ever saw her due to the workload she had. Coffee was her best friend, and the night was just a few more hours to the day. Until my 8th grade year, my grandparents were practically raising my brother and me due to the fact that my mom couldn't pick us up after school because she was working. She would often come and get us anywhere between 9 and 11 p.m. to take us home. Now she has two steady part-time jobs and we get to see her a bit more, but she still works a

In 1949, Morales joined the Communist Party and married Richard Levins, the son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants and a scientist. Together they moved to Puerto Rico in 1951 .They became active in the Puerto Rican Communist Party and the Fellowship of Reconciliation while working at a small farm in the mountains. They eventually returned to the U.S., first to Chicago then to Cambridge, but the people and culture of Puerto Rico remained at the center of Morales’ work. Morales and her daughter Aurora Levins Morales became active in the women’s movement in the late 60s. They were a part of the Chicago Women’s Liberation Union, and co-authored a book of poetry and prose called Getting Home Alive in 1986. Morales is recognized as a major contemporary Puerto Rican writer. She focused on her writing in the feminist movement and on the communism/Marxism. Morales died in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2011 (Sophia Smith
Parenthood is the hardest job anyone could ever have and it demands the constant attention of two loving parents, but what happens when one parent is left with the care and responsibility of a child. Well my mother had the burden of raising two kids, holding down a full-time job, and attending school. With her busy schedule it was hard on me because I was on my own almost of the time that I needed help whether it was to feed myself or if I needed help with homework. My mother knew I was having a hard time acclimating to our new situations so she took it upon herself to teach me to become as self sufficient as a 9 year old boy could be. I first saw this as a disadvantage, but quickly learned that it had become a blessing in disguise. Under the

Describe the factors or attributes you feel make you a deserving candidate for this award. I feel as though I am very deserving of this award because I have worked very hard to keep my grades where they are at right now. Also there is not that many scholarships for student who are not freshman or transfer student. If I were to transfer to UTA right now with my current grades I would get the automatic scholarship that transfer students get if they have a 3.5 GPA. I think I have made great academic progress in my time here a UTA, and am only going to continue to get better, for this reason I believe i am a deserving candidate for this award.

Parent’s work When I was still extremely young both of my parents continued to work. At just one years old my mom was working as a clerk in a doctor’s office, and my dad worked at the SPCA, while also working 90 hours a month being a reserve police officer. So I spent a majority of my time with my mom growing up. My dad later on became a code enforcement officer, so he left the SPCA, but still continued with being a police officer on top of that. Once my mom became pregnant with my sister, my parents decided that they were financially stable enough for my mom to quit her job to stay home with me and my sister. This allowed me to have a close bond with my mom, but because of how much my dad works, it was hard for me to have an even remotely similar relationship with my
My mom raised three girls on her own. She was always patient with all of us. My mom understands that teenagers will be teenagers. Instead of my mom yelling or punishing me and my sisters when we did something that made her angry or upset she would just talk to us and

I have a lot of cousins; therefore I am not the only grandchild for my grandparents. However, I was the only one that was raised by my grandparents. They spent the most of their times on me compared to my other cousins. For example, I slept with my grandma when I was young. Because of my body was weak, and my hands and feet usually cool all night, my grandma always held my hands and feet to make my body warm. She was told me fairy-tales or real stories at night when I was sick, because she wanted me to feel better. When I was little girl, on the family trip, grandpa always carried me, because he didn’t want me to walk too long. Living without the parent, it made me sad but my grandparents given too much love on
My great grandmother, Mama, cared for all her children including her grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and great grandchildren all the same. She allowed anyone to stay in her home when needed and loaned money even when she did not have the funds to support herself. Even as a young child my great great grandmother was older but held a great part in raising me. I never received any form of structured learning such as daycare or pre-kindergarten because I loved being in her company and did not want to separate from her.
