here is my story and you can use some of it to answer the questions. 
I was born in a third world country in Ethiopia and moved to Eritrea after my family was deported. I grew up in Eritrea with a low-income family. My mom and dad had to work, so I took care of my sick younger brother, he had a down syndrome. The love for nursing and giving care started then, later when I was a teenager I started to volunteer at the veterans hospital as a care giver. And in my late teens, i joined the red cross and traveled to the ruler areas and witnessed so many people struggling and dying from the luck of access to health care. I reached about TB, AIDS, malaria, Polio and supplied emergency kit. But when I was 18 my family discovered my sexuality and disowned me, I faced many stigmas and struggled. So I left home and went to Uganda. During my stay there I volunteered at a youth center and learned a lot about accepting people from different walks of life regardless of their skin, sexuality, and race. im currently enrolled in a nursing school and not working. I receive financial aid to pay partially for my financial aid but I still need money for housing, food, transportation, books and others, if I receive this scholarship it will take a way a significant burden and will focus I my school. My plan when I graduate is to work with the underserved and variable. Plan to open a none profit organization back in Eritrea to help the poor and underserved. I was in their shoes not too long ago, so I understand the struggle. Also, i would like to teach nursing and recruit as many nurses. However, i want to serve here in the US as well. Florence Nightingale is one roll of my role model. And I still volunteer Eritrean Development Foundation as a youth coordinator in Seattle branch when I have time.
