Statement Of Purpose: The Christine C. Harris Scholarship
The Christine C. Harris Scholarship will greatly help assist me through college/university. Being that I am from a single parent home ,I know my mother would not be able to fully help me financially. My mother also went to a technical college ,but she did not do anything with the degree she had. I want to be able use my degree unlike my mother; I do not want my degree to go to waste when I work so hard for it. After I graduate from either Valdosta State University or Albany State University I want to go work at a hospital. Also I want college to be affordable for me because that will also help my mom who barely gets help from my dad. Yes, he is a good dad but he just can not help me financially the way I want him to. My dad also did not go

    I can definitively, and honestly state that Paul L. Foster School of Medicine is the school of which I have the greatest interest in attending. For eighteen years, I have called the border city of El Paso my home. Our amiable and uniquely culturally diverse population is the reason that I have found living in El Paso to be extremely comforting. The loving nature of the people of El Paso allowed me to develop many friendships, which helped create countless beautiful memories. I want nothing more than to continue my education in El Paso, and to watch this city continue to evolve. Further, I wish to practice medicine in this community which has given so much to my family and me.…

    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.…

    Growing up my mom has always encouraged my siblings and I to continue our education to as far as college. My mother never really got the chance to attend college because her family could not afford to put all their kids in school. She had seven siblings and an extra bill for school was not something her parents were able to afford.

If it were not for scholarships and financial aid, my mother’s story would be repeated once again. Through financial aid, the door for a college career is opened for me and I’m willing to enter it.

Although I do enjoy learning to the fullest extent, it does get very tiresome when there my mother is making sure I finalize my assignments. In my senior year of high school, I would have been eligible for a scholarship called NJ Stars, which allowed me to go to Hudson County Community College and transfer to any four year institution in New Jersey free of cost. However, I needed to rank up three more positions in my entire graduating class to reach the top 15%. It was incredibly stressful and I became extremely drained, which lead me to I give up on my ultimate goal. I realized what an astounding offer the scholarship would be, but I could no longer handle the compulsion or disputes that were caused by this situation. My mother and Jamaica’s mother were very similar when it comes to preventing a failing daughter, while my state of giving up correlates to Jamaica’s…
