Personal Statement: I Aspire To Become An Optometrist
I aspire to become an Optometrist, which means I will be spending a great amount of time in college: eight years, to be exact. These eight years will consist of me earning two degrees, and drowning myself in heaps of loans.
Although, my parents and I will be doing my best in order to pay the loans off, we may have some difficulties. I also have a younger sibling after me, so my family will be paying for his college education as well.
I could use this scholarship to pay off some of my loans; I will take any help I can get. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity, which will motivate me to work even harder and get the weight off my parent’s shoulders.

It is a big amount to my parents. Now, my parents' business is not good as before because the economic in Viet Nam is slow down.

    Financial Aid Appeal Letter Sample

    I am really thankful for the generous award letter, but I still can not afford to attend University. On the award letter sent to me on June 22, 2007, it suggested that my parents should take a $9500 Federal Plus Loan. My parents have $480,000 mortgages that they are struggling to pay—they pay $2,710.53 for the first mortgage and $1,188.08 for the second mortgage (monthly). Yet, they make only $4200 from their jobs. They also need pay for utilities and foods—they are scrambling every dollar to pay these bills. Therefore, I can not see myself asking my parents to take another loan on my behalf. My family simply can not financially support my college education.…

    Personal Statement: My Career Goals

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…

They are the ones who push me to live a better life than them, to be the best at what I want to do, and to work hard.

It truly is encouraging to have parents who believe in me. They make me to trust that I can be successful in the future. My parents truly are one of the best resources that I…
