“One of the reasons I believe I deserve this scholarship is because I put my education above all else. My education is the reason I came to Georgia State University and I can lose sight of that. I would like to become a doctor and I will become one. I hope to help patients who struggle with mental health crises and spread awareness in the black community.”

“Doing community service and being a change agent has furthered my passion for servitude. Although some people do community service for hours or the press, I do it for the benefit of others. Community service and giving back to those in need make me feel good about myself because I know that I am contributing to our ideal world. I am constantly reminded that every little bit counts, and I make small contributions to make the world a better place.”

I have not made it this far by any ability of my own; this is why I want to embody the notion that with God, all things are possible. I realize the power of not only speaking things into existence but also doing the work to actually succeed. I will forever be grateful for this lesson, as I will always share it and use it to encourage others.”
