Please briefly explain why this scholarship should be awarded to you, taking into account your goals and ambitions. You may attach a separate sheet if needed. I would like the committee to know about my future goals and what drives me, and a little bit about my accomplishments throughout high school. I believe by painting this picture, that you will find me to be a good candidate for this wonderful scholarship. About 6 years ago my Grandma was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease in which nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. Soon after diagnosis, my Grandma began to be unable to have control of her legs and lower half of the body. Recently, the side affects of the MS began moving to her upper body and into the arms and hands, causing my Grandma to be unable to feed herself or do anything from the neck down by herself. This huge situation in my life has caused me to want to pursue a career in the medical field of Physical Therapy to be able to help people like my Grandma. My overall goal in college is to earn my doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. With contributions from this scholarship, this goal that I have set for myself will become much more achievable, Additionally, a large motivator for me to continue my education is that I will be a first generation college student. To me, that means more than just someone that is attending college. It means that I am the one that is representing my family. I will be the first to go out and expand into deeper education, entering a new level of job security that only I will be able to reach. This in turn will help me to help out my family, not only now, but for generations to come as I set the precedent of furthering our family’s educational lineage. Finally, alittle bit about my accomplishments in high school that will aid the committee in knowing that | am a hard working, committed individual. During my freshman year of high school, T was a member of the FFA Greenhand Conduct of Meetings team that took first place at Districts and Regionals. I continued working hard into my Sophomore year both in academics and extracurriculars, and I received my Varsity letter for baseball. In March of my Junior year, I was chosen as Student of the Month by my Principal for being a leader and a committed student. This was exemplified my senior year when I was elected as the Executive Treasurer of the Student Council for the 2014-2015 school year. While on student council, I was assigned to take on a task to raise $2000 for a 4 year old boy with an inoperable brain tumor, so he could continue with his chemo treatments. Within a week, I was able to surpass my goal and raise $3500 for the little boy and his family. In the Fall of 2014, 1 was chosen to play as a part of the Calvin College Honor Band with other students chosen from around the state of Michigan. I plan on making many more accomplishments before the end of my senior year. In closing my drive to become a Physical Therapist, my motivation to become the first in my family to graduate from college, and my accomplishments throughout my high school career would make me an excellent candidate for The Myer & Lois Franklin Charitable Fund Scholarship.
