Passion comes from the heart, and my heart yearns to learn everything my professors teach me in each of my courses. Whether it is about derivatives or how to conjugate a word in French, I love understanding how everything works. Everything we grasp will somehow affect our lives. Learning anything and everything is what I am here for. One thing I show enthusiasm for the most is getting to know other people's stories and how it affects their lives and ours. On top of learning about other people's backgrounds, I love to travel. Being able to learn in another country would be a life changing opportunity for me because I will be able to experience another culture and still take the courses I need for my degree. Earning this scholarship would help me pursue that dream of being in another country, pay for some of the travel fees, books, and lab fees, and gain an experience not many college students can say.

At a young age education has been instilled in me and it shows throughout my education career. During high school I aimed for a high GPA, balanced my schoolwork with extra-curricular activities, and even decided to take college courses in high school. Before my junior year of high school I even took a trip to Costa Rica with my Spanish class to enhance our Spanish skills. Now that I am attending university I have joined Public Relations Study Society of America, work part-time at my university's law library, and continue to find time for my academics. I have not been able to have another experience out of the country because the cost for study abroad is a about the same tuition I pay to go to the university I am going to now.

At the moment, I am enrolled at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa as an undergraduate trying to earn my bachelor's degree in chemistry, soon to be communications. To be able to study at university my family is taking out loans. I am worried with the most recent government shutdown and my family income that they are more stressed than before because they also have to worry about the expenses they have to pay for my younger brother to go to college. They know how enthusiastic towards traveling and learning in another country will make me happy, but they are not able to pay any of it for me because it is just too expensive. I know that by earning some scholarships and using the money I earn from work that I will be able to show my parents that I am capable of taking care of business on my own. They would be proud and happy for me because it shows my growth as a young woman and I will be able to do something I have been dreaming of for a long time.

Dreams are only accomplished by taking action. Trying to earn money, in various ways, to join a study abroad program shows how ambitious I am. My financial background is not full money. Both of my parents work and it just makes me want to prove to myself and them that I can achieve my goals by myself by making an effort, in anyways means possible, to earn

I think it is better if you are bit more specific about your passion. I mean, in which field your passion lies. Letting your scope too wide may not help you for an undergraduate course which expects its students to specialize in a particular major. You can say that you love to learn beyond your major through every experience that you would gain. But you need to have a vision in which direction you are heading. Therefore, tell your heart yearns to achieve a particular goal in life. For me, this sounds too general and it gives a feeling that you are not sure of your right passion.
