I believe the qualities that set strong scholarship candidates apart are dedication, resilience, and a genuine desire to grow. The winners I look up to are the ones who don’t wait for opportunities—they create them through hard work and consistency, even when life throws challenges their way. They also stay connected to their communities, finding ways to give back and lift others up as they move forward. That’s the kind of student I strive to be: someone who keeps showing up, keeps improving, and uses every opportunity not just for myself, but to make a positive impact around me.

What careers would be possible with a Mechatronics degree vs Mechanical Drafting degree through a trade school.?
I am considering two different paths after graduating from high school. One would be a traditional college route with a four year degree in Mechatronics. The other would be a nearby trade school that offers an Associate degree in Drafting/Design and provides job placement assistance. For the past few years I have been on my school's robotics team and really enjoy designing the robot in CAD then 3-D printing all the parts to build it. I think both pathways lead to a similar career, but one is quicker and a fraction of the cost. Am I correct in this?
