I am asking for help reaching this goal to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming an engineer. I have strived in my high school career to seize every opportunity to be my best self: I led my school's build crew for the drama club, joined and excelled on the swim team with zero prior experience, completed over 100 community service hours, and joined the National Honors Society. 

UVM truly is my dream school and seems to be the best place to become more of my best self. I credit my acceptance and success to all the support I have received from such caring friends and family. Now, if you're willing to help, I have a goal of leaving college with no debt and I believe in my ability to work hard, study hard to maintain my scholarship, and ask for help when help could make a meaningful difference.
