Scholarship / My first essay to apply for scholarships! (Graduating 2016) - Why i deserve X scholarship? [4]
I need this scholarship because I know how much my mom wants me to succeed, that's all she's ever wanted from me. She has numerous obligations and is currently going through a divorce which is exceptionally costly. My father left the summer before I started my freshman year in high school, for me that was a big change. We were never close but I told myself once I entered high school I would try to fix our relationship. What girl doesn't want to be able to run to her dad if a guy breaks her heart? For him to be their when she begins to drive, or even get her acceptance letter into the pharmacy tech program at her high school? But now it comes to show that he doesn't want a relationship. If it wasn't for the Maryland state government having to take $200 from him every 3 weeks, I'm more than sure he would have forgotten about us by now. It tears me apart inside, for the longest I thought I did something wrong, always blaming myself. But I overpowered that way of thinking and have learned to manage and accept my situation. My father is trying to sell the house that my mom, brother, and I are currently living in. Since my mother has lupus he know that stress is a key component in causing it to flare and that is exactly what he is trying to do. My mom is constantly answering phone calls from lawyers, and the mortgage company. Right now in my life my motivation is on making my mom proud, giving her a peace of mind, I hate to see her struggle. She is too good of a person for me not to do the one thing that she asks of me, which is getting the most education I can and becoming a registered nurse. Being able to hand her my diploma after finishing college with a master's degree in nursing would be the climax of my life! I always replay in my mind how she's going to react. Sometimes its complete shock and uncontrollable hugs, other times it tears and utter shock of amazement. But of course I'll only find out the authentic reaction I will receive when that day comes.
