I am interested in this scholarship because it will help me out in college and everything I need to be successful. I am looking to go to an Indian school and play basketball and need all the financial help I can get.

I am first generation college graduate. I am a bilingual registered nurse. I feel a strong sense of duty to be a nurse in my community and help as many people as I can. I love helping people feel good. I truly believe that a nurse can not only save lives, but change and improve lives too. I am hoping that getting my Family Nurse Practitioner License will help make a bigger difference in my community.

Challenges are inevitable, and those challenges help build the type of person that someone decides to be. Growing up in Nigeria, my parents were what the vast population would consider being middle class. They were self-employed and had a lot going for them. Both my parents grew up extremely poor; my mom used to hawk food on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria, and my dad lived in the village and sold local fake cosmetics to fend for him and his family. Our parents' background caused a lot of pressure for my siblings and me because we were constantly reminded of our parents' humble beginnings. These stories started what would be my fear of failure. In high school, I would always try to be at the top of my class, and once it happened, there was no stopping me. I kept getting better at every grade level and then graduated as salutatorian and the best graduating science student at fifteen. I always knew I wanted to be a STEM major, but I never knew what I truly wanted to do or who I wanted to be, and because of that, my parents suggested for me to be on track for Medicine, and to please them, I did just that. I struggled so much in school, it was a competition, and they had limited spots for Medicine, so if you missed by even a point, you would be given another course. I finished that year and was waiting for when the results came out. Well, that day came, and my friend called and said, check your phone for your grades. And on that day, I felt like the failure that I always tried not to be. How was I going to break the news to my parents that I did not get in? They already all their friends that I was going to be a doctor. I eventually did, and they seemed like they did not care, but I did, so much more than I should. The school gave me a second-choice major in Chemistry, and I did it for a semester till my mom left Nigeria for America with my siblings and me. We started a whole new life here, which led to an identity crisis. I was 18 and did not know what to do till I sat

I am in my second semester of college and this scholarship looks very useful. I haven't exactly pin pointed what I want to do as a career, but I do want to get involved with tribal council after I succeed with my education. I want to represent the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
