Potential to Contribute



My goal for going to college and being a nurse will be to help my family, not only here in United States, but also in the Philippines including my cousins and their families there. Being a nurse will be a great opportunity for me to travel, help people, and see the world. Furthermore, as a nurse, I will volunteer in any communities that need nurses here in United States and in any country. I have heard of some countries having great need for nurses than we do and I want to help them. I need to go to college so i can help out my family back home. Since we have only been here in this country for a short period, we weren't able to save money for college. My relatives back home need the money more than we do. The only way I can go to college is by getting a scholarship or through financial aid programs. I am almost a senior here in Tohatchi and I am currently looking for scholarships that I can apply for college. This program will enable me to fulfill my dream of being a nurse so I can help, not only those patients in hospitals, but my community and others around the world. Furthermore this program will aid me in my college application process when I am a senior and help me understand how applications for financial aids and scholarships work.
