My Transition To College

274 Words2 Pages

I am eager to make the transition to college, but trying to determine how to pay for my impending tuition is not a thrilling. My single mother pays for the majority of my sisters need and mine. I plan to attend Gonzaga university and the tuition is very costly. Preferably I want to graduate debt free so I can take a gap year after graduation and join AmeriCorps Vista. A program such as AmeriCorp will further my experience working with people and gear me to enter the career of a nurse. Working with the public I will gain communication skills necessary to my future career of Pediatric Nursing. In addition, by donating my time to participate in a year of service my chances of getting job at a hospital will increase. I will have more real life experience giving me an advantage over other applicants. If awarded this scholarship paying for college seems like an achievable dream. …show more content…

The Bette Vanbeber scholarship will not just be awarded to me, but to the many people that one day I will

  • Uninsured Mission Statement

    427 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up in a small, rural community the majority of the population was uninsured and underserved. Access to primary healthcare was limited with most physicians’ offices being close to an hour drive one way. I grew up seeing both of my parents work two jobs and still having to make the decision to put their health on the back burner due to lack of finances or insufficient insurance coverage. This often led to numerous emergency department visits because of the lack of access to a primary care physician who could have provided preventative care. This was not only an issue within my home but throughout the town.
