I could be a teacher and shape the lives of children, the people I find the most joy in. I could be a chef, honoring my diverse cultural background through specially crafted dishes. I could be a financial advisor, using my affinity with numbers and organization to help families plan their futures. I could be an author, and bring to life the worlds and characters that are spilling out of my imagination. I could be a chemist, wielding my passion for chemistry to test and react and experiment. I could be a lawyer, a social worker, a librarian, a zookeeper, a sourcing director. There are so many things I could be, so many things I am passionate and interested in, but right now I am most eager to be a college graduate.
I might not know exactly what I want to do in college, but I know that I am inspired and motivated and eager. I know that whatever I do will be impactful and meaningful. Most importantly, I know that a college degree, one that I can afford, would help me pursue my goal of leaving a lasting impact on my community. If I were awarded the $1,000, I would allocate it towards my college education, because that is what will enable me to transform my “I could’s” into “I am’s”.

I plan to major in Computer Science and generally AI and IT. I want to start strong with complete focus on my major and tyr having a lesser financial stress. I plan to do some part-time jobs but it might not be as efficient and quick to try and take off the loan payment dues and stuff. This scholarship will help me a lot in my future as it would make it easier for me to complete my degree in Comp Sci successfully and probably even help the world.

This scholarship would contribute to my goals to attend Cornish College of the Arts, major in illustration to develop my skills in visual storytelling, bring myself closer to my career goals, and connect with other creatives. From my college experience I am hoping to reconnect with the Seattle area, which means a lot to my family, has a culturally rich environment that calls to me, and is where I was born. A very important aspect that my college education will do is build my network, connecting me to other passionate people who could potentially want to work with me or further connect me to others. A strong network of people will help me achieve my career and project goals, it is very valuable to have others to reach out to. My ultimate goal, and quite honestly, dream, is to make impacts in peoples’ lives with visual storytelling, to write stories that inspire hope, positive personal change, and active thought about the world. I have chosen visual storytelling (graphic novels, illustration, etc.) because of the versatility and accessibility of visual mediums, not only is art my passion, but visual mediums resonate with a wide range of individuals. Good storytelling comes with a wide worldview, intelligence, and life experiences to pull from, these are things further education will contribute to building. Every dollar that I can save or earn is going towards my goal of becoming a better visual-storyteller. I truly believe a story can destroy complacency and apathy, change mindsets, and change a person’s life.

Being the oldest child of 7, with the only employed parent being my father and my mother as a full-time mother ; it’s safe to say that it has been a struggle for them to keep us fed and living.
