Growing up, my parents pushed me to do my best in school; I didn’t question it much, although looking back, I recognize that schooling is a vital component to be successful in life. I will be attending UNR this fall, the first in my family to do so. Being a first generation college student, my parents cannot provide any information regarding college classes, scholarships, or tutoring. I’ve worked diligently throughout high school but I cannot venture into college blind; TRiO would be a highly beneficial program enabling me to reach my potential in college.

As a first generation college bound student, after joining Upward Bound, I have gained the skills to recognize and be proactive when I am struggling academically. I am not only able to identify aspects that is causing me difficulties but also able to create a realistic plan that fits with my learning process. I have also gained the confidence, motivation, and skills to balance and multi-task a schedule that includes a full-time academic schedule, multiple extra-curricular activities, and community services. For example, when I decided to take dual enrollment college courses through Minnesota’s Postsecondary Education Option program, I still maintained my many commitments to Harding Senior High School and volunteer activities.

Allowing me to take part in the Pathway Program would dramatically improve my chance at succeeding in my future career objectives. The Pathway Program would provide me with a plan that would guide me from my senior year in high school, to and through NOVA, and then finally to a four-year university. One of the major benefits that this plan would provide me with is the removal of stress that I would otherwise have from having to research and apply to every college that I am eligible for. The Pathway Program would also provide me with recommendations surrounding the courses that would allow me to have the highest chance of success in my career field. Throughout high school, I have faced many challenges: frequent house relocations, lack of a
I know that this program will be a very useful help in being college ready when I start in the fall and not being sure in what I have to and don’t have to do.

I wish that I had more support to further my education. With that being said, my program will be dedicated to the foster youth education. My program
According to Good Shepherd Services (GSS) website ((Good Shepherds Services), their transfer school program has been developed in 50/50 partnership with the NYC Department of Education (DOE). This program serves young people between the ages of 16 and 21 who dropped out of school and think of coming back (usually over-age students); students who were not successful in regular school and off-track to graduating before they turn 21; usually students who enroll into the transfer school program have 50% less credits they would normally need to graduate on time. The “nationally recognized transfer high school model integrates the youth development practices and expertise of Good Shepherd within a rigorous, standards-based instructional setting”
Ever since I was young, dentistry had sparked my interest for my career. Dentistry appeals to me chiefly because I had always wanted to be involved in a profession where I can help people. My love towards human biology especially human teeth also contributes to my career choice. Most importantly, I find human teeth interesting, often fascinating.
