I am a sophomore in high school and I will be attending a university in less than three years from now. Time is going to pass by so fast that before I know it I will be applying to universities. I'm ranked 15 out of 274 people in my class, and I feel like any goal I put myself for I will achieve. Going to the summer scholars program will give me an experience I've been looking for. It will give me that motivation to make sure that my goals are accomplished. I am interested in this program because it will be a fantastic opportunity to meet new people that also have the same mindset as me; as well as, this will prepare me for college and what to expect. Meaning once I'm in college I won't be so scared and unprepared. Going to the summer scholars
Last summer I volunteered at a local hospital for a total of 136 hours. At the end of the summer I received an honorable mention award for being a dedicated volunteer who is highly respected around the hospital. Furthermore, I've been a committed volunteer during this school year. I have also been an active member of my school's HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) chapter; this March I will be competing in a medical terminology competition against members of other HOSA chapters across the state. Additionally, I am a devoted member of my school's academic decathlon team. Finally, I have been a member of CSF (California Scholarship Federation) for the past two years.

As I thought of this article, many of the issues I have faced as a single Hmong woman in her mid-twenties came to mind. Should I discuss the functional reasons why marriage is so important in the Hmong culture, especially for women? Or do I talk about the lack of eligible, older Hmong men? Better yet, should I complain about the attempts by my relatives to find me a good husband as if it were an unfortunate circumstance that I was single instead of a conscious choice? Thinking it over, though, I decided that all those questions boiled down to one fundamental truth – the Hmong community is still trying to learn how to treat the increasing number of Hmong women who, like me, are making the choice to stay single in their mid-twenties.

As a student that is currently seeking a career in the medical professions, I have had to routinely contemplate my reasons for pursuing such an extensive education program in a field that is constantly demanding excessive time and effort. I know of students—many friends and acquaintances of mine included—that have the most sure-fire, inspirational stories that align with their desire to become doctors, surgeons, physician assistants, etc. They always seemed to have a story that emphasized their desire to “give back” what they have received from the medical community. Because of that, ever since the beginning of high school, I have been trying to find an extraordinary reason, a purpose for my medical pursuits. Perhaps I could justify my passion for
I have been a dancer since the age of 3. My earliest memory of dance was when I was too terrified to go on stage during a recital and I refused to go on no matter how much they tried to push me. Up until the age of about 12, dance had been just a hobby or an extracurricular activity. In fact, I didn’t even enjoy going to dance. I didn’t have friends there and I wasn’t that good of a dancer. It wasn’t until I participated in Dance Bermuda’s summer dance intensive in collaboration with the American Ballet Theatre in 2012, that I realized that I had a passion for dance. At the program, I was exposed to other dancers that were my age and older and most of them were much more advanced than I. So to avoid being the worst dancer in the program, I took to YouTube and watched hours and hours of dance videos. I researched all the ways to improve my ballet technique. I can remember trying to practice my pirouettes in the kitchen and falling onto the table and knocking a whole bunch of things over. I was determined to be as good as the other girls in the program. By the end of the two weeks I was fired up, motivated, and ready to get back to class after the summer.
I am Yasir Zaidan Abdu, I am applying for the MPP program in HKS this year. My plans are confined in the field of Nation’s strategic planning. Especially, In Sudan, my country, people have suffered many complex problems since the declaration of its independence. Moreover, occupying the third place among the most corrupted countries in the world¹, poor practicing of democracy, 46.5% of population are poor ², civil wars (Southern Sudan and Darfur) and lack of security are the main challenges of Sudan. After a profound analysis of the situation in Sudan I came to a conclusion that there is no clear vision for the state, and the awareness for strategic planning is low among our current government leaders. In fact, the limited vision of our current leaders was the main reason behind the disastrous separation of the southern part of Sudan. Consequently, the agreement was very ambiguous about the situation of the contact areas with Southern Sudan, which lead to a civil war in that areas (South Kordofan state and Blue Nile state).
Since attending East Duplin High School, I have faced many obstacles, late night homework, and family issues that just add on to the stress of being a student. I have enjoyed my high school, but I can’t wait for what college has to offer me. However, have reached the recent dilemma of needing financial aid for college. I believe that i deserve the Mill Swamp Community Club Scholarship because I have worked hard throughout my high school career, I have grown up in the community, and with the money I plan not only to better myself, but bring back my knowledge from college and apply to my home community.
As I enter my senior year of high school and prepare to research different careers I may wish to pursue, I find myself overwhelmed with so many different career paths to choose from. With this time of excitement comes the pressure of making the right career choice that suits your interests and passion. Therefore, it is important for me to gain a vast amount of knowledge about the career and University I hope to attend. The Summer Challenge Program is a very prestigious event to take part in, as it provides students like myself the ability to explore different majors at Boston University.
We all have a purpose on this pale-blue dot we call Earth; mine is to make a difference for youth.

If anything, all college students can testify and agree that college can be stressful. It can be in regards to finding the right location that feels similar to home, finding a group to fit in, or simply finding the transiting balance to adulthood. College can be a real emotional test to get towards the finish line of success. However, I would not trade my college experience for anything. I want to make it across the finish line. As a sophomore, I know the the importance of higher education and if I want to see the world change for the better, I need to start with myself.

I am aware that I no longer meet the grade point average of a 3.0 to be eligible for the Academic Excellence Scholarship and I take full responsibility for that. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been awarded such a scholarship. I know that I have fallen below my own academic standards and the standard expected of me by the Scholarship Committee, and without a doubt I have learned several things than can prevent me from falling below those standards.
