Explain in 250 words or less why you believe that you should be awarded this scholarship (Revise)

Coming from a family of eight and being the youngest, it was financially challenging for my parents to send my siblings to school. My older siblings didn't receive any degrees, and I have to change that in my family. My father is from Africa and he came to this country poor and he made a living for my mom and siblings. I know he wants things to change for me and I know it's up t me to make that change. I need to further my education to make a living for my own, and to make the world a better and healthier place. I believe I deserve to be awarded for this scholarship because I work hard. I am hard working by studying, doing homework, helping my mom out at home and around church, and giving back to the community. I also maintain good grades and I am an honor roll student. Growing up I played Basketball, Soccer, I was a cheerleader, and I was a swimmer. I have a dream that I want to pursue, and getting this scholarship is getting me one step closer to making this dream a reality.
