My adversities are the catalysts that lead to improved opportunities in my life. I believe my life is built with great purpose; a goal that has caused the difficulties I have endured thus far, but also a goal that is at the heart of my various accomplishments, a goal that opens doors to supporting others and gives me hope for an influential and resourceful future. My past history, current experience at Cardozo SHS, and future plans reinforce my desire to attend college and make me an excellent candidate for the Esperanza Scholarship. My childhood led me to where I am today in many different ways. When I was four years old, I was diagnosed with high myopia, an eye disease that causes severe nearsightedness. Three years after my diagnosis, my hospital referred me for treatment abroad because my condition was found to be congenital.

But I have also made social contributions and academic achievements that have given meaning to the cause of my life's difficulties. And after thinking everything through and expressing a more specific effort for a better future, I am faced, once again, with another obstacle to my plan to study biochemistry and influence as many lives as possible in a positive way.
