(Please insert your essay following this page) Autobiographical Statement Going to college has always been one of my greatest educational goals and ultimately, my most empowering dream. This dream began with my first ever role model and inspiration, my mother. To me, my mother is my motivation and by far, my biggest supporter. She never fails to encourage me and whenever she sends me an email reminding me about college deadlines or school events, I just smile. I am so fortunate to have her in my life and I want her to know that all of her sacrifices were worth it. Her catching the 4 am bus at the bus stop down the street to get to school and every hour that she stayed up studying preparing for her exams during college, while at the same time carrying me, was worth it. Taking my little brother and me with her to class at UCLA because there was no one else that could take care of us, was worth it. The ambitious and determined adolescent that I am is a product of her hard work and dedication. We may have the same name, but we have not faced the same obstacles in life. I will never be able to fully understand the various difficulties she had to overcome as a young mom pursuing postsecondary education, but I understand why receiving higher education is so important. Through my experiences as a female Mexican-American student, I grew up realizing that life for minorities and women, like my mother, came with so many expected and unexpected obstacles. Many of the women that raised me and that I was surrounded by as a little girl, carried not just the weight of the household tasks and children,but also the discrimination of sexism. Over time, I learned that these women had had their own dreams and goals for their future, but they were held back by those that were ignorant of the fact that women are also capable of being successful. The impact of these firsthand experiences are what have influenced my current educational and career goals. I am proud to be a young,Latina and because of this, I aspire to be part of the wave of women in my generation that pursue an education in STEM. My educational goals as of now begin with me graduating as the valedictorian of my senior class. After high school, I plan on attending a four-year university where I will major in biomedical engineering with a minor in computer science. At my future university,my goals are to get an internship and gain research experience within my major. Moving forward into my higher education, the highest degree that I plan on pursuing is my doctorate degree.I am determined to keep studying even after I receive my doctorate so that I can further develop my skills and create positive connections with others. My greatest career goal is to become a biomedical engineer. I would like to work in third world countries so that I can bring new technological advancements, help create solutions to health issues, and change the cost of healthcare for those that have been deprived of medical treatment. Ultimately, the Vernon CommUNITY Fund Scholarship Program will assist me throughout my journey as I work towards achieving my educational goals. This scholarship will provide me with the opportunity to be more selective in the university that I choose to attend. There are many students that limit themselves when it comes to their post-secondary education and goals because the financial aspect of it is a huge burden. It will increase my chances of continuing into graduate school while relieving some of the financial barriers. From a young age, I started helping out my community and volunteering at events that they provided for those in need. It began with my curiosity about the well-being of those in my community. The City of Huntington Park hosted the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count every year and I never fully comprehended the purpose of this event until I actually began to volunteer. My family faced near homelessness when both my brother and I were little kids. I wasn’t aware of the seriousness of the situation at that moment,but as I grew up I realized that many people face homelessness every day of their lives. It is a huge issue that is prevalent throughout our society, yet I feel like it is overlooked and neglected at times. As a little girl, I didn’t know the difference between living in a house or an apartment,or simply not having a roof over my head. Now that I am older, I can see how it affects and sometimes even destroys the lives of so many people. This is why I started to volunteer at the homeless count hosted by my city. The purpose of the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is to ensure that every one of our neighbors experiencing homelessness in our communities is counted.It is a step towards ending homelessness in our country and helping improve the lives of others who aren’t as fortunate as us. My community helped me by teaching me the values of responsibility, integrity, and leadership. I learned how to become a selfless leader and how it can help a low-income, minority populated community like my own become aware of the issues in our environment. I give back to my community because I want to help provide opportunities for other people just like my community helped me. Applying to this scholarship is one of those opportunities that I have and if I was to receive this scholarship, it would become my hope that I can pursue a post-secondary education. I have seen firsthand how opportunities like this can help other students achieve their educational goals and it helps younger students create a more positive outlook on the benefits of receiving a higher education. The opportunities that you help provide for others aren’t just opportunities for themselves, but also a sign of hope for those after them that they are capable of great things too.

(Please insert your essay following this page) At a young age,helping others was always something that came naturally to me.When I was younger,my father would arrive home from his job as an HVAC technician with cuts on his fingers,so I eagerly stepped in as his nurse.I would sterilize his wounds and wrap them carefully with bandages. While this might seem like a juvenile reason to choose nursing as my perfect career choice,the examples continued throughout my life.I want to become a nurse because working with others and helping them would make me happy.I am a very social person,and I can use it to my advantage since I have always been in love with the medical field.When I was eight,I told my parents I wanted to be an anesthesiologist, probably not knowing what one did.Now that I am older,it has morphed into nursing with my ultimate goal of becoming a nurse anesthetist.The high school I attend is STEM-focused.I have taken very rigorous math and science courses and have taken every AP class possible.I exhausted all the math offerings by junior year because I took rigorous math courses over the summers to advance. Although I grew up in a Spanish-speaking home, I have excellent communication and language skills and have taken multiple AP English courses where I scored a four on the exam. I am also fluent and proficient at reading and writing in Spanish and have many years of experience translating documents since my mother speaks and reads only Spanish. Utilizing my strong bilingual skills in the nursing field will benefit others. I have witnessed the divide and struggle between my mother and English-speaking medical professionals. At my current high school in Boyle Heights, I have received the Principal's Honor Roll and the Student Recognition award every semester throughout high school. I am thrilled to have been invited into UCLA’s pre-licensure nursing program,with an acceptance rate of only 2%. My parents are my primary motivation to attend college.Growing up, I noticed how hard they worked and how little they earned. They always mentioned that getting a degree meant that I would work but not as hard as they had to for the little income they made. Whenever there was a choice between public or charter schools, my parents always decided to enroll me in charter school since I would have better opportunities. Even though my parents did not get a chance to go to college, they’ve always recognized the importance of obtaining a good education.I would benefit from Vernon Community Scholarship Fund to pay loans, cover personal expenses,travel/commute expenses, housing, etc. Our Expected Family Contribution at $21,000 is still very unaffordable for my family. I know that I will need additional financial help to attend UCLA. Although I have had prominent leadership roles, such as Junior Class Vice President and this year's Class President, I have expressed nursing leadership skills with my family. For the past four years, I have taken on a significant role in caring for my brother's children. My brother is in the U.S. Airforce and gets deployed often; I offered my help in taking care of his children. I drive up to Sacramento to watch over my seven-year-old niece and my three-year-old twin nephews. Every summer, it is my job to oversee them while their parents work. I schedule meals, organize bathing routines, play games, and read to them. This past October, I spent the whole month with the children assisting with online school while my sister-in-law worked overnight shifts and my brother was deployed to New York. I needed to organize my time well since I was also managing my academics virtually.Through this experience, I took on a parental caregiving role and gained the trust of my brother and his children. Right before I left for Sacramento, my father was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I became quite concerned since he is relatively young at 47 years old. I created a diet for him to lose not only weight but also lower his blood sugar. My father is obese, so I had to find a way for him to eat well and workout in a healthy way that would apply to his specific condition.Before my departure, I set him up on a regimen and checked in with him daily via FaceTime. My father lost 55 pounds in four months and regulated his blood sugar thanks to my positive influence. Taking on these responsibilities has helped me expand my leadership and caretaking skills, directly related to my nursing career choice. I intend to be as motivating, reliable, and compassionate to my future patients as I am with my father and my brother's children. In March 2019, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS causes enlarged cystic ovaries, obesity, depression, acne,and hair loss--a laundry list of the worst possible things a teenage girl could experience. Another symptom,infertility, I would be retested for at 18. I proceeded to find comfort through eating, attempting to fill empty and depressed feelings, so getting on a scale became my greatest fear as I watched the numbers grow bigger.During the next five months, I experienced a severe change in myself, not in a healthy way. In September of that same year, I decided not to allow this disorder to control my life, mentally or physically. I joined Students Run Los Angeles and made it my goal to lose weight and become healthier.I changed my diet by eating fewer carbohydrates and sugar, and soon after, I began running. I started with one mile and gradually increased my mileage. While training, I started losing weight, and as a result,my blood pressure and menstrual cycle regulated. Running was an outlet for me to forget about my worries and allowed me to focus on breathing and letting go.The culmination of my many months of training was running 26.2 miles in the L.A Marathon on March 8th,2020. After being diagnosed with PCOS, I discovered ways to access support. While I have always enjoyed helping others, I finally had the opportunity to be a successful advocate for myself.The camaraderie I experienced with my new running friends was a great mental benefit to me during this time, but the nurses at the hospital taught me about self-care. They suggested specific diets, gave me helpful resources, and, most importantly, made me feel at ease. My care team’s attention to detail, compassion,and bilingual communication are skills that I also share. Having an interest in a medical field career since I was ten, this personal experience solidified nursing as a major for me. My experience also demonstrates my ability to problem solve effectively, which is another quality of an excellent nurse. Now I am certain that I can find practical solutions when faced with future challenges in my nursing education at UCLA and in life. I am grateful for your consideration for this scholarship.

Throughout his freshman year he produced his personal best: studied for exams, asked questions during moments of difficulty, visited office hours, explored topics he found fascinating outside of class, and asked for, accepted and applied constructive feedback. Mr. Ramirez has been intentional about achieving academic success. A motivated and purposeful student, his focus never falters. As a sophomore student, he continued to challenge himself through rigorous honors English and world history courses, college courses, and participation in extracurricular student organizations on campus. During every one of these activities he has met challenges and overcome them with grace, courage and intelligence. His participation in these activities has refined his speaking, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. His willingness to challenge himself has jumpstarted an early evolution. While many of his peers will develop these skills after their secondary education, Mr. Ramirez has been developing these during high school and will continue to refine throughout his college experience. While his initiative jumpstarted his evolution, his tenacity enabled him to succeed after setbacks. His resiliency will ensure his success in college and beyond. I look forward to witnessing his personal, academic and professional growth with much joy and enthusiasm. Please do not hesitate to contact me with further questions or concerns.

Through college, I plan to major in Computer engineering and do various side projects in order to be accepted into internships that would lead to jobs. However, just working on side projects would not make me a worthy candidate for internships. So working, joining clubs, and doing extracurricular activities would make me a worthy candidate. For instance, volunteering in high school clubs and afterschool activities help me reinforce my leadership skills and become independent. Similarly, I was given the opportunity to become one of the members of the management team in my Garden Club that helps me become more organized and time-efficient. With these experiences, I plan to be more involved in college clubs and begin to take extracurriculars to help me become a more productive member. Deciding to go to college was a difficu lt decision for me due to the overwhelming costs and the start of independence. Though it was a difficult decision, my parents had a huge impact on my decision of applying to college because of the opportunities that I had and they did not. Though my parents did not have the opportunity to attend college they encourage me to do so because of the experience I can acquire and enjoyment of it. Though I was worried about the tuition of the University, I tried my best to discover various scholarship opportunitie s to help ease the financial burden. Also, my parents encouraged me to create a path to help my siblings through their future college experiences. With the Vernon commUNITY Fund scholarship, I can both ease the financial burden and create a path for my siblings. Not only will this help my college experience but it will also help me pursue my passion for computer engineering, mathematics, and STEM. Additionally, it will help me reduce the amount of time to work and gain time to study, attend class, and enjoy my college experience. Through my college education, I can use my academic abilities to have a less stressful and more enjoyable experience. I would be able to use my STEM background to be more prepared to have a successful college course. Additionally, b eing introduced to new academic environments gives me the opportunity to increase my academic potential. Such as learning new programming languages to help me be more successful in college and the major I am pursuing.
