“In September of 2021 I moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Denison University in Granville, Ohio with a BA in environmental studies and international studies. I began working at a local plant nursery to gain horticultural knowledge of the region, and started to better understand some of my strengths and weaknesses. I had to adapt to a completely different climate and stay patient while learning every possible new plant and their traits, and sometimes found myself getting too lost in the details of each plant.”
“My goal is to become a legal advocate for those people who are disregarded in our current culture due to the lack of generational wealth, lack of education and/or decent wage employment. I intend to achieve this goal by staying on that same path of justice for all and gaining a law degree. Motivating others to comprehend the importance of this and how all of society will benefit from equity and equality is my main objective.”
“It was not until I was a freshman in high school sitting in the El Paso County Courthouse as a Teen Court volunteer when I discovered my passion for the law. Having first read the police report of the case of one defendant, my mind resorted to forming stereotypes. Before meeting the defendant, I envisioned a disobedient and defiant teenager. Instead, a small, innocent young boy walked through the door. I quickly realized the impact of our stereotypes and biases. I could only imagine the stereotypes that my mother endured. In the years that followed, I worked with many defendants to implement restorative justice principles and to expunge charges from their records.”
“Since I was little, I have constantly moved around the world because of my parents’ jobs. Consequently, I have lived in a variety of places including Bangladesh, Japan, Indonesia, Switzerland, and the US. My entire life is the airplanes, the suitcases, the passports, the new schools, friends, cultures, etc. The experiences I had at each of these places have shaped me into the person I am today by teaching me to become open-minded, caring, and motivated, but above all, perseverant and determined to achieve whatever goal I set out to achieve.”
“When people who believe that a better world is possible collaborate and work together to bring about their shared vision of world bent toward humanity, compassion, and justice, mountains can move. With my academic credentials and professional work, I will humbly add my voice to the growing clamor of those who went unheard for far too long.”
“My name is Noah Bongiovanni, I’m a 21-year old from Erie, Pennsylvania, and this year, I had my life turned upside down. When the pandemic hit, faced with no income due to the loss of both my jobs, I was forced to start working as a driver for a food delivery service.”
“Where I’m from, not many people can say they’ve “made it”. I’m surrounded by people as young as me dying from bullets in their chests. I’m surrounded by blatant homophobia, even within my own family. I’m surrounded by my own loved ones struggling to rid themselves of past habits and battle addiction. Most importantly, I’m surrounded by those stuck in a cycle I refuse to be in.”
“I am writing this essay today to explain my college journey and how I turned my life around and became a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society while maintaining a 3.71 GPA at DCCC, and how obtaining a scholarship will help me continue my education and reach my academic goals. Education is the most important aspect to become successful and reach your career goals and obtaining a scholarship would help me tremendously in reaching those goals.”
