Scholarship<br />
What does getting a Foundation Scholarship<br />
mean to you?<br />
It means so much to me. It means that I don't<br />
have to carry the financial burden of a quality<br />
education. I can go to class without worrying how<br />
I'm going to pay for school. I am very thankful for<br />
this scholarship. It makes it easier on my parents,<br />
as well as myself. It is truly a blessing.<br />
Which instructors have been particularly helpful<br />
in your experience at <strong>Northwest</strong>?<br />
Mrs. Mary Bonds has been really helpful to me<br />
this semester. She offered to be my academic<br />
adviser when I came to the main campus this<br />
semester. She has been very helpful with setting<br />
up my classes and getting me prepared for nursing<br />
school. Ms. Liesl Davenport has probably had<br />
the greatest impact on my life this semester. I<br />
met her in the first <strong>Northwest</strong> Biggest Loser competition<br />
this semester. She inspired me to start<br />
living a healthier lifestyle. I didn't meet my goal,<br />
but I did see a lot of improvements. I hope to<br />
continue during the summer and make that goal.<br />
She showed me that I could do anything with<br />
time and dedication. Next year I hope to do the<br />
same for other students, faculty and whoever<br />
wants to live a healthier life. The workouts were<br />
hard at times, but well worth it.<br />
What inspired you to choose your major?<br />
I have always been interested in the medical<br />
field. At first my major was pharmacy, but as I<br />
learned about the field of nursing, I fell in love<br />
with it. I'm a people person, so I would like to be<br />
close to my patients. I have always been a helpful<br />
person. One of my biggest aspirations is to motivate<br />
people to be healthy and take care of themselves.<br />
Where do you see yourself in five years?<br />
In five years I see myself at UT Health Science<br />
Center or The University of <strong>Mississippi</strong> Medical<br />
School working to be a nurse practitioner and getting<br />
my doctoral degree. I also see myself motivating<br />
and inspiring people to live a healthy<br />
lifestyle.<br />
