Recommended: Advantages of financial education

This scholarship is especially important to me because it will aid me in furthering my education in college in order to major in accounting. Since early on in high school I always had an interest in math, numbers, and creating spreadsheets. The foundation for this began as I helped my parents put together expense sheets and financial documents. I also helped my dad put together inventory reports, price lists, and PowerPoint presentations for his job.

    As a child I did not know a lot about college. None of the adults in my life had been to College, my family did not talk about it, and it seemed like a distant land that I heard about only in movies and on Television. I was first introduced to college when my third grade class took a field trip to Iowa State University, clearly a much needed field trip considering my lack of exposure to higher education. I was immediately amazed by the grand architecture and massive buildings. I had never seen anything like a University campus before. The few things that I remember about the trip were that everything was big, the college students played with us, and we got to swim in the pool.

As I grew older I developed other reasons for wanting to attend colle...

    I have desired to be in the medical field since my freshman year of school. Like a classic stereotype I wanted to go into the medical field after watching too much television, in particular Grey’s Anatomy. It was not the drama or love affairs that drew me into the profession but the adrenaline on a surgery coming in. The skills which they possessed to save a person’s life, and the relief of the family when the doctor was able to tell them that their loved one was going to be alright. Yes, I do aspire to go into surgery, specializing in either trauma or general. This goal is achievable, but it will take many years in college and medical school then residency.
