This is Alyson from Ft. Worth, TX attending WTAMU. I have always had a passion for forensic psychology. Growing up with my parents watching crime shows and later reading books. I am applying for this scholarship to help pay for my college. My parents have taken care of my brother and I but now they also care for my grandma and my uncles which one has special needs. Both my parents went to college on line and recieved an associate's. My mom was 20 hours shy, she did all this while raising us, coaching our soccer teams and leading my girl scout troop. She always volunteered her time weather it be at the school, fields or selling cookies. All she has ever wanted was for me to attend school and have a career, never worry about anything. I am applying to help me achieve my dreams and to help ease the financial burden from my parents.
