carlos1214 won a $3,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
My name is Carlos. I'm 36 years old, married to a wonderful woman, with an amazing little boy, & 3 dogs. I've spent the majority of my life making music, playing in several alt. rock bands in the Dallas/Ft. Worth & Philadelphia area. I was born & raised in the city of brotherly shove & moved to the DFW Metroplex 13 years ago. I've worked several crappy day jobs while I was chasing my dream of stardom until a few years ago when I got burned out on playing the club scene & decided to hang it up. What I didn't realize at the time was that my crappy day job all of a sudden became my crappy career. I worked the same job for 6 miserable years until I was laid off. I've since come to the realization that this was a good thing. I'm back to making music & trying to make a career of it. I've made a few connections & wrote the theme song to a kids show that is currently being shopped around, & I really want to get into doing film scores, which combines 2 of my passions- music & film. I'm going for my Audio Engineer (CMAE) Certificate at Collin College & I made a promise to myself that I'm never going to go back to working for someone else that can just throw me out like garbage when things get tight. I am going to rely on myself for my own happiness & the happiness of my family!

farahb won a $5,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
My name is Farah, and I recently graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a Bachelors in honors psychology. I am a freshman at the UAB School of Optometry, and this schooling requires substantial financial aid. I have excelled during my undergraduate career, and I hope to do so in professional school as well. I am joining this site to hopefully receive some financial assistance through the scholarships. It will also be great to meet new people!

Woody won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hey, I'm Woody.
I've been on Collegenet forever. I'm like a piece of furniture here. You know, that comfy couch, which has the nice butt groove worn into the middle cushion?
Well, that's me.
I'm a thinker. I'm often told I think too much. My favorite topics on here are sociological and philosophical, but sometimes, I like to kick up my heels and go crazy too.
I'm a mass of contradictions. The more I grow up, the more I think I'll never have it all figured out.
Well, I guess this is getting long enough. I'm sure you'll see me around, here or on the underground.

P.S. I just found out that you can't mark your own profile as inappropriate. If there were ever a profile that I were to mark as inapropriate, it would be mine. --Or maybe EWS...

sdwill07 won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hey, my name is William, but most people call me Will. To be honest, it doesn't matter to me what people call me--whatever people are most comfortable with is fine with me.
I am currently a student at South Mountain Community College and I will be transferring to Arizona State University in the spring of next year.
I am a Mechanical Engineering major and I absolutely love everything about it. I am currently participating in an internship with Honeywell Aerospace, and my experience there has been nothing short of amazing. Having the opportunity to be exposed to all the amazing things that engineers and scientists have been able to develop to make our lives easier is an incredibly rewarding and humbling experience. I was inspired to be an engineer by my high school physics professor. The experiments we did in class (with things sparking and fires burning and projectiles shooting) got me hooked.
Outside of school and work, I am a sports fanatic. Pretty much anything that can be played, I love to do or would love to try to do. I just love to spend time with friends and have a good time. I am a Christian, so just fellowshipping with others and playing games and sports is therapeutic for me. I love to snowboard, especially with my girlfriend, which is kind of ironic coming from an Arizona kid. I guess maybe that just shows the kind of person that I am and how I won't allow small limitations get in the way of the things that bring joy and laughter to myself and everyone else I am with.

RyanKnebel won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
I had to give up college a few years back when my son was born. Now that it's just me and him alone in the house, I feel it's even more important to go back so I can get a better job.
So I start back in the fall and he's going to start Kindergarten too. I figure if he sees me doing homework, it'll help him realize how important it is. I'm really looking forward to college and hope I can juggle my time between work, school, and playing with him.
My main interests are screenprinting, reading and listening to music.

smbrannman won a $3,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hey there, I'm Sara. My passions in life are dancing, reading, writing, and observing art. Some of my favorite artists are Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Dali, Magritte, Hokusai, and Georgia O'Keefe (I'm related to her!). I love all kinds of books. A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Inferno, Candide, Macbeth, The Sparrow, and Ender's Game are some of my favorites.
I don't know exactly how I want to go about college yet. I want to pursue a career in dance, but it's a risky and expensive area to go into. Not to mention you retire around the age of 30. I hope to continue my education in Liberal Arts while I continue dancing...I can't imagine my life without a constant education....I'm just not sure how to pay for it, haha.
I've been raised in an old-fashioned home with excellent parents and a sister who is my best friend. It's a modest home on a quiet acre of land, so I've grown to appreciate nature and solitude to a certain degree. But don't get me wrong, I love people. I'm passionate about people. Don't be afraid to talk to strangers, and remember that there is ALWAYS more good in the world than bad!

Hey guys!
I'm currently a sophomore at UCF, and I recently got admission to their Nursing Program this fall!
In my spare time, I like to participate in arts and craft projects. I also like to go on food adventures and try different things like Belgium chocolate Oatmeal for breakfast!
I hang around a lot at cnetunderground.com; it's a pretty cool place where you have unlimited posts! Come check it out sometime =)

Hails_gurrl won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Thank you to everyone that voted for me! This scholarship is going to make all the difference in my studies in the fall! There are some good-hearted people on this site! I will return the favor and keep voting! I will also be competing again next year! Which I am already excited for! Thanks so much ;)
My name is Haily!
I am a fiery redhead who is determined to finish college with at least a Bachelor's degree. I just completed my freshmen year at Montana State University-Bozeman, and I'm in need of financial aid! I was undeclared my freshman year, but I am interested in pursuing a nursing degree.
My parents had set up a college fund for me, but my dad broke his femur in a skiing accident my junior year of high school. He was out of work for a whole year. We had to use the money we had saved for my college to pay the bills for that year. I was given very little time and notice to save up money by that time.
I am currently applying for any scholarships that I am eligible for! Since I am also undeclared, it is murder trying to find scholarships I am eligible for! Most are only for students who have a certain major! Unfortunately, I can’t declare until I am accepted into the nursing program.
Also, if I do decide on nursing, the college I am attending has an extremely competitive program and the students have to maintain at least a 3.8 to be accepted and stay at the university. Currently, my GPA is a little higher than that, but it will be a struggle to maintain that good of a GPA and work at the same time.
I try to put in as many hours as my job as I can, but I am a little terrified of the upcoming school year! I know that if I put in less hours at my job I can maintain a good GPA. Even with how many hours I am working, however, I was barely able to pay the tuition for my freshmen year of college.
So, I am here to learn and possible pick-up a scholarship along the way! :-)
Good luck with the voting! If you think I am a good candidate, it’s much appreciated!
Also, I am a pretty chill girl! If you want to get to know me better send an email my way! Hails_gurrl@msn.com

teruhmaree won a $3,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
My first name is Tara Marie, but most people just call me Tara. :)
I was born in the beautiful Philippine islands and I moved to the United States when I was 7 years old. Moving to the United States has opened many doors for my whole family. I now have a better opportunity of receiving a college education. I am currently entering my Sophomore year at Arizona State University.
Going into ASU, I had no idea what to major in. I had a great fascination and love for technology, especially computers. My brother, whom I am very close with, suggested I give Computer Science a shot since I've had experience with computer languages. After my first year at Ira A. Fulton, School of Engineering, I absolutely loved it! No other major could have been more perfect.
The fact that there are very few female engineers has motivated to be successful in my major. I want to be a role model especially for women that are looking to major in a male-dominated field. My ultimate goal is to graduate as a Magna Cum Laude (I currently have a 3.56 GPA - 3.8 needed to become a Magna) and find a career in Computer Programming.
Not only am I a student at ASU, but I also currently work there as a Student Worker/Receptionist to earn money for tuition. I have become an expert at saying, "ASU, College of Nursing, This is Tara. How may I direct your call?" :P
Other than school and work, I am a part time teenager. I am a cup more-than-half-full type of person and I have a tendency to always look for the best in a person. This characteristic may be my best quality, but it may also be my worst in some ways. So far, it has brought me more good than bad, so I'll consider it a good quality. ;)
Anyways, that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for visiting my profile!

DUDE! This is amazing! I can't believe I actually won a scholarship! I'm
not one to win things like this, and I am so thankful for CollegeNET and
also for everyone who voted for me! If you're new to cnet and looking for
some tips...here's what I have to say: Be yourself and post what you feel
needs to be said. Don't be afraid of what others think - but don't be rude
or anything like that. Diligence and patience for months, along
with spending countless hours on cNET, has awarded me this scholarship.
Keep trying, and you'll get there!

sarahperez23 won a $5,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
I'm a married woman with a handsome 7 year old son. I attend college at Collin College and am currently working on my associates with an emphasis in psychology. I want to eventually get my Psy.D degree so that I can help people that suffer from mental illnesses.
Last year I thought I had it all! I had a happy marriage, good child, beautiful home, great friends, everything I thought I could ever want! I was a stay at home mom that took care of my son, the house, volunteered in the community, etc. Then one day in April my husband called me and said he was on his way home. I can still feel the souring swirling sickness in my stomach, as he told me he had been laid off from work. We had just put our house on the market, we were going to buy a bigger one closer to my husbands job because just 6 months earlier he had been promoted! The worst part is we could no longer start "adoption classes" to adopt through our local foster care...we wanted a daughter. That Thursday afternoon our whole lives got turned upside down. Months went by and we were unable to find work. We were living off of the unemployment my husband received. Since then we have re-evaluated our lives and goals. My husband has always been a musician (on the side) and he's going back to school in the fall for audio engineering. He wants to write music for movies. I started school this summer to obtain my associates degree in psychology. I never want to be in the position again where I can't do anything to help my family when they need it most. I figure if I go to school and get a degree then I won't be in that position, ever again.
I've always wondered why people do the things that they do. What they were thinking when they did that, and if the outcome could be changed. In case I'm not explaining this right, I'm referring to people suffering with severe mental illnesses. Those are the people that I want to work with. Here's my theory:
If we can teach a suicidal/homicidal, bipolar, schizophrenic how to recognize their triggers (what brings on these overwhelming feelings or ideas) and teach them coping skills for when these "episodes" come on, then maybe they won't suffer as badly from the consequences of what could have been. Sorry I know that's worded kind of badly. And it's a very preliminary thought since I'm just starting psychology so please don't judge me too harshly if it's not feasible.
Wish me luck, and happy voting!

Thank you everyone for making this such an awesome election! I wouldn't have been able to win without each and every one of your much appreciated votes. I didn't know if I had a chance to win on this site, but I did! And I'm so excited!
This site is amazing for giving people the chance to express their views and opinions and then awarding them with money for school! Any amount of cash towards school is needed and appreciated.
I hope that all of you keep your heads up, keep dreaming, and keep posting! Your time will come and I'll be happy to share that moment of victory with all of you! I wouldn't have been able to do this without the votes from every last one of you, and I'll be sure to keep voting!
Thank you everyone! Shoot for the stars, in life, in love, and of course, on CNet.

Hey y'all!
I'm an undergrad from NC working on my vocal Music Education degree! I've known that I wanted to be an educator since I was young, but I wasn't sure in what till high school. I believe that music is inspiring and even what keeps some kids in schools. I hope to teach at the elementary or high school level.
As always, good luck everybody!

I personally want to thank everyone for voting for me! By Gods Grace, I was able to win the scholarship and use it for my studies this fall in Puerto Rico ! Thank you all, I will keep voting for everyone
My name is Daniel, I am 19 years old and I am a freshman at University of Central FL. I will be attending Interamericana Universidad in puerto rico starting this upcoming fall. I live in Orlando FL, and yes i have been to disney more than 100 times.
Hobbies: I love to play basketball, the drums, and going to social gatherings. I love my family and try to take care of them as much as i can.

Time for an update :) I want to thank everyone on Collegenet who supported me both this year and last year. I couldn't tell you how much I appreciate winning a total of $7,000 on this site. It has literally put me through college.

I work part time at Subway. This summer I will be attending South Western Illinois College. I love rock n roll music. I love animals. I love GOD. I love reading.

☮ won a $5,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hello, I am Karin ♥
I attend MSU, majoring in chemical engineering. I am currently classified as a senior--3 semesters to go! (August 2011!)
So far, I have pretty much had to pay my way through college--either I got lucky with scholarships or I personally paid my bills. I am not a spoiled little college brat whose parents have paid for everything--mainly because my parents could not afford it. I am a college student running off my own steam and working my way through college.
I don't work during the semesters that I go to college. I worked two jobs during different parts of last year.
As a ChemE, I hardly find time for myself, much less a full-time or part-time job during school. So, like any college student, I struggle with finances and schoolwork. The semesters that I am at school are ones where I have no income and I have to live on what I tried to save up! I am also out of scholarships (save for this CNET one), so it is very difficult to be able to afford the things I need.
I'm also engaged to my high school sweetheart. ♥ We dated for 3 years, and then he proposed. Now we've been engaged for over a year. We will be married December 2011.
In my (rare) spare time, I love to play on my Nintendo DS, play computer games, write fan fiction, write poetry, play with my dogs, listen to music (nearly any genre), surf the web, and watch movies.
The picture is my puppy Penney. She's a beagle we recently adopted.

Believe in yourself and what you're capable of. Then you can achieve anything.- Me
Thanks to Collegenet and all of my cnet friends here, college is going to be a little bit easier for me! I want to thank everyone for the support and I will definitely be around. Collegenet has been a great learning experience for me. I’ve always kept things to myself, unless it was between me and a close friend or family member. For me to be able to branch out to each and everyone here is amazing.
I graduated high school last year 2009. I decided to take a year off before I start college because I wasn’t mentally or financially ready for my higher education. This last year has been emotionally draining. I’m ready to move on to a new chapter of my life.
I don’t know if I’ve shown my full personality much on collegenet. I am naturally kind, happy and sweet when I meet you. I have shy tendencies that I try to push aside. I love to laugh. It’s great when I find friends that share the same weird humor that I have. I love planning ahead. Things feel better when they are in order. I live with my head in the clouds. I’m always coming up with ideas that my friends think are crazy. But if you don’t think big you won’t ever achieve what you could of. Even if I don’t end up doing everything I wanted, it’s still more than I would have ever done.
It’s kind of frustrating because no one fully understands me. My friend once told me as soon as she thinks she gets me, I change. Maybe I’m not meant to be understood. Maybe no one is?
I want people to see what I see. I want them to feel as if they are looking through my eyes. That’s why I want to get into film. I want to write, edit, direct etc. If I could seriously pull it all off, I would do every job myself. I’ve fallen in love with the fact I can create an idea from my mind and bring it to life. It’s like creating another world that everyone can see and love.
Okay I think that’s enough. :) If you want to get to know me, the best place is to add me to msn: babigrl_17@hotmail.com
Feel free to add me or email me through hotmail. I’d be happy to meet each and every one of you!

Lynsey won a $3,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
OMG...wow...thank you so much, everyone!!! This was the best surprise of my entire spring break...!!!
I can be reached by email at Tohksick@gmail.com, or you can follow my blog at jumpthelines.tumblr.com :)
My name is Lynsey. I am going to be starting college in August of this year, and I am funding the entire thing myself. My family never has been well-off, and no one talks to anyone anymore. I have lived in over six different households since I was twelve, a lot of it being in foster care. I was placed in the custody of the state at the age of fifteen, and recently moved in with my father. It is a big adjustment for us, because we never really spent much time together. I have had most of the most important people to me die in the last three years, starting with my best friend and ending with my stepmother. If I find a way to finance college, I will be the first person in my family to ever go. I want to study psychology and eventually become a psychiatrist who provides counseling so that I can help people with mental illnesses who might not otherwise be able to afford help. I am also a tutor, student council member, president of debate, and a leader within my school. All that being said, I am first and foremost just a girl: me!

Thank you to all the cnet candidates and voters who helped me win this scholarship. I appreciate every vote, and every voice, on this site. This money is going to help out my family a tremendous amount in their efforts to help me pay for college. Again, thank you all!!
Hey everyone =) My name is Chelsea and I will be attending Lehigh University as a freshman this fall (Go Mountain Hawks!)
I plan to major in Biology on a pre-med track. I hope to someday become a physician.
In my free time I enjoy skiing, going to the beach, swimming, and singing. I like to try new activities and adventures when given the opportunity.
I also enjoy my downtime when I can read a novel or write about what's on my mind.

Tatamama10 won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Israel, India, Nepal, Thailand and Laos—these are the countries where I have been living for the past seven months. I have been away from the hustle and bustle of the United States, away from the typical American college student “mold,” and away from whatever my own college student stereotype might have been. Being a traveler in such foreign places enabled me to experience life in a fresh way. I had the opportunity to test what I had learned, and I was able to be free from any imposed societal notions that my life should be a certain way if I were to be successful after high school. These past seven months abroad have been the most life changing, character molding months of my life thus far. They were an opportunity to really learn who I am, and what I can contribute to my own society has been invaluable.
I learned that some of my strongest assets are not based in numbers on paper, but are rooted in human relationships and creativity. I already knew how to study hard, work diligently and be academically successful, but the application of those things was missing. Traveling in dramatically different cultures forced me to think on my feet, and interact with people whose worldviews were entirely unfamiliar. I was able to take my book knowledge and apply it to life outside of school. Now having done that, it is even more evident that my chosen field of study is exactly what I need to do in order to fulfill my potential to work with others, to enrich lives, and to relationally invest in people. A degree in Family Science will be my next step, among many, toward contributing all of who I am to the people who I share my life with everyday.

First, I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me, who supported me, who provided words of encouragement. I truly could not have won this with out your help-as I'm sure you already know. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Secondly, dedication and support is key here. I've been a member on CollegeNET since 2007-clearly dedicated. But I never quite rallied for the support until just recently-and it made a world of difference! Stick it out, if you've got those two things, YOU CAN do this! Finally, along this journey I've made quite a few friends here on CollegeNET. Friends who supported me, who kept me going. Friends who I now look forward to seeing on CollegeNET, and even speaking to outside of CollegeNET. CollegeNET has opened doors and help me build relationships. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, and plan to continue being an active member, simply because I truly enjoy it! So thank you to all my new friends, and thank you CollegeNET, for providing me with friends, opportunities, and financial stability. Keep it up everyone, your time will come!

Hello, Hello, Hello! My name is Felicianna. I currently reside in Atlanta GA. I just started on my Bachelors of Science Degree in Healthcare but I am strongly thinking about changing it to Human Services. Due to the fact that, I love kids and they are our future. The youngsters didn't ask to be here and I feel they should receive much love and respect!
There is alot going on in the world today. Women and children make up at least 35% of Americas homeless rate. I just want to be able to give back in any way possible!
Children are the Future!

OH MY GOSH! Thank you all so much! I really appreciate all of your help in making my dreams come true! Thank you to collegenet! Thank you to all of the wonderful ladies and gents who have voted for me week after week! You guys are simply amazing. I really and truly didn't anticipate a win this week and about had a heart attack when I saw my name. I had to keep refreshing to make sure it wasn't a mistake haha! You guys are the best and I promise you can't get rid of me that easily, I will be here every day until all of my collegenet friends achieve their goals!
Hello fellow/future college students :D My name is Adrianna, I'm a senior in high school, heading to ISU in the Fall. Like many of you I'm on the quest to find scholarships in a quickness.
I live with my mom, she's currently in nursing school, fulfilling a lifelong dream, so we will both be paying for school at the same time during my first year. YIKES!
I can't tell you how excited I am to finally get to college, it's a dream I've had since I was little.
I chose to major in education to work in a field I feel very passionately about, and to give to children what my teachers have given me; a love I will never fall out of.
I'm happy to meet you all and can't wait to talk to you more, and thank you all for your votes. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

Hey guys!
My name is Jennifer.I am 23 years old..and like most of you out there I am looking to gain some financial aid from this. Seems pretty cool--so who knows?
I am in school for Nursing! :) I currently have a 3.9 GPA and have been working very hard to maintain it in each and every class.
I am a black belt in karate--hence the name karateka. :) I am currently not in karate due to being busy studying and working.
I mostly act like a goof--making others laugh is kind of my hobby--I definetly don't get embarrassed easily and I just like to have fun. Life is too short to not have fun.
I owe my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Everyone you lay your eyes on is someone for whom Christ died. That keeps me in check when I tend to forget what I've been given. Eternal salvation! And all I had to do was believe and accept the gift. Amazing!
I love music--I have to have it on constantly when I'm driving. I love hip hop/rap--Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj..but I also love country. (weird mixture??)
Anyways..that's enough about me for right now! Feel free to email me karateka817@tmo.blackberry.net

I would like to say thank you to all of those who made it possible for my win. I am grateful that I won and appreciate each vote. It took patience and dedication for me to stick with trying to win this scholarship, because after coming in 2nd place for 2 weeks in a row; I almost gave up. For those of you who are still persuing this scholarship and want to win, DON'T GIVE UP! It is possible, but you have to be determined!
Thanks,

Hey Guys! Thanks SOOOO MUCH for your support!!!!
For a long time I didnt know if it would be possible for me to finish school because of financial reasons. I had decided that to not finish school due to money issues would not be an option. So I worked hours a day on finding scholarships. Finally, with the help of all my fellow cnetters I was the winner! What an incredible feeling to finally know for sure that I would be able to continue in school. This site has been a huge success for me, and I'm so happy to log in every morning to see how everyone is doing.
My name is Jolene, friends call me Jo. I'm 23, and in school for Surgical Technology. My number one goal is to get a high quality education so that I can pursue a career at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. I would like nothing more that to work beside the surgeon who is removing tumors from cancer victims. Both of my parents were lost to cancer before my 25th birthday. I have declared a war on cancer!
When I'm not studying or in class, I enjoy hanging out with friends, watching movies, reading, playing games, and being outdoors. I am in a pool league in the summer and a bowling league in the winter. The Gemini in me always keeps me doing new things. My three favorite things are dogs, exercise, and hot cocoa.
I am a well known volunteer at our local soup kitchen. I help run the food drives around the holidays to feed the homeless and I provide free fitness instruction to members at the YMCA.
I think cNET.com is a great site for students. I wish I would have known about it sooner. I love seeing people on here with interesting things to talk about. I vote for people who show dedication. The win didn't come easy for me, in fact, I've never worked so hard for anything in a long time! So I know how difficult it is to hang in there and to not give up. I have a lot of respect for those of you who work hard at this rather than just having all of your friends sign up and vote for you and winning your first few weeks involved.
So that’s a little bit of who I am. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to getting to know you!

My ideology on life is to have a practical job you're interested in, but take part in a hobby that's a sweet escape from reality. I'm close to obtaining my real estate sales license, I'm majoring in Economics, I love assemblage/junk/collage art, shopping at my few favorite vintage/thrift stores and wish to graduate college two years early *knocks on wood*. So my dream job? Perhaps a housewife/real estate broker/economic analyst/welder/dress maker/assemblage artist? Sounds lovely to me!

I am a freshman on the campus of the illustrious Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. I am very involved in campus activities and apply myself in a way that will better my university. I am currently majoring in Journalism. I aspire to be a beat writer for a big city magazine or newspaper. I would also like to work for ESPN one day as well.
I graduated from Pelham High School in Pelham, Alabama. If you ever watched the MTV show "Two a Days" which profiled the Hoover High School football campaign then you can imagine Pelham. We are five miles away from Hoover and...we got crushed by them on national television.
I was the SGA president at my school and I like to think that I made a positive impact. I enlivened our pep rallies and provided a humorous context to the morning announcements. I promoted support of school teams and of school pride.
I really need a scholarship because I am putting myself through college. I work hard during the summer and save money and then apply for loans and wait for grant eligibility and FAFSA, you know the deal. I never can get enough money because my mother has a pretty good income. But its her income not mine and she doesn't pay for my college stuff. Not anything. Well she did send me some quarters for laundry. I really don't understand this loan process and am dependent on scholarships so I wont be in debt when I graduate. Hopefully this site will help me out.

I love to write poetry and discuss random, interesting facts :)
Intelligent and witty people inspire me.
I am struggling with money in college, and I really don't want to burden my parents into helping me any more than they already have.
I am majoring in Magazine Design/Journalism @ University of Georgia.
I was drawn into design in Yearbook in high school :)
I made up my name (Kavi) from my initials, (K and V) and found out that it fittingly means POET, which is my passion--poetry.

makemyfuture won a $1,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
There are many words to describe my personality and myself. My family and friends would describe me as a decent respectful human being, dependable and open-minded person. I think these characters have made me into the person I am today. I am after the meaning of life. College is a step in my lifelong search for knowledge that will hopefully bring me closer to my goal. It has always been my greatest ambition to become a college graduate. I have always been drawn to science. I am interested in becoming a Nurse (RN) and learning how people operate biologically. The only barrier that is stopping me from pursuing these goals is financial need.I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose. My potential is the key to why I believe I should receive this Scholarship. I remember when I was still a freshman. I was shy, just sort of going with the flow. I remember when I got my first report card. I was utterly disappointed at what I saw, all B's. It was a fact that my potential was greater than my report card showed. I took a look at myself and admitted my weaknesses. I had to concentrate my efforts on my weaknesses. I soon became more outgoing while my abilities that were once weak began to flourish. I recognized that within myself, I was no longer a shy kid who just falls in the back of everyone's mind. I had leadership skills and would develop them to my fullest potential. I believe that I should receive this scholarship because of my financial need and my potential to become a productive citizen to this world. At this point in time I am working on getting finances for my college expenses. I am applying for scholarships, financial aid and working to save for the upcoming expenses that I will have.

I am a junior in college and my dream is to become an epidemiologist and maybe one day work on Global Health. I am paying my own way through college, so every little bit helps. I like to vote for people who post thoughtful forums and usually sift through "newest posts" rather than "most active." I think that way more people get a more equal chance. Also thoughtful responses to others' forums as well as my own will get votes as well=) Wishing the best for everybody!

By God's grace, your votes, and through CNET's online scholarship website, I was able to win this week's election. Thank you all for your help as I am very grateful to win this scholarship. The money will be very useful in this upcoming 2010 spring semester. Thanks again!
My name is Jonathan and I attend school at UCF. I'm in my 2nd year now and my goal is to hopefully become a doctor one day. I enjoy playing sports such as basketball, soccer, and football. If table tennis is available, I'm usually up for some of that as well. God, family and school are three things that are very important to me. School is getting tough these days and money is harder to come by, so winning a scholarship from CollegeNET can surely help.
Thank You for voting!!!
I'll be voting for you too!

SUPER NEAT!!! CollegeNET rules, and winning scholarships is awesome! THANKS!!
I'm Civvy. I've always walked a bit outside the lines while maintaining a healthy respect for the boundaries I often seek to break. I think this gives me a really cool perspective on the world.
I need your vote! Yes, I'm a little quirky, but mostly my smartness and brokeness are indirectly proportional.
For those that wish to read more:
I'm a bit of an adventure nut. I enjoy camping, hiking, caving, kayaking, biking, and other active and nature related things. To me, it feels so good to get out there, get dirty, and come home tired.
I have an unhealthy obsession with dogs. It started at a very young age when my mother gave me an encyclopedia of dogs. I looked through it almost every day and memorized the breeds and their characteristics. This has continued in to my adult life - I have the super natural ability to identify some breeds by only looking at the top half of their tail in motion. Not only is this insane, it's completely useless.
I am a freak for education. Beyond what I learn in school, I am constantly reading. I am driven by the quest for truth and knowledge. This makes me somewhat of a skeptic and a cynic, but not one of those angry ones.
My passion is social psychology. It has been since I was very young. When I was 14, my brother's girlfriend gave me her college text after she completed her introduction to psychology course. I read it cover to cover 3 times before I graduated high school. I still have that book. Social psychology is interesting to me for a variety of reasons - because I find the way people relate to one another to be so fascinating, but also because on the scientific level, natural observation is so much more definitive.
I am currently entering my final semester as a senior. I am enrolled in a dual degree for Bachelors/Masters. Like everyone here, I need the money. I left my job a year ago to go from part time schooling to full time. I have been living very meagerly for the last year as I try to complete my degree. An in-depth job search has been nothing but brick walls and I fear for my financial security as I draw so close to success.

Hello! My name is Michelle. I am a 30 year old mother, wife and Nursing Student. Over the last 11 years, I have been working towards my RN. I have had to take several breaks in my educational goals in order to care for and support my family and loved ones. After a very intense and highly competitive application process, I have been accepted into a Nursing program! I am so very excited to have this opportunity.
I have a wonderful husband and together we have the most amazing 11 year old son. He is very active in school and sports. We just had a parent/teacher conference and he has been placed in AP math & science as a 6th grader!! I'm so proud and impressed! This summer we gained custody of our 1 year old niece. She is such a joy and we are so happy that we were able to take her and give her the love, care and attention she deserves. We are hoping to be able to finalize the process and legally adopt her this next summer.
I am so very excited to be able to return to school and achieve my goals. With the help of scholarhsips I will be able to focus on my education without having to worry about how I'm going to afford school and raise my family! I am the primary provider for our home and every little bit helps.
Thank you for reading! :-)

Hey everyone!
27 year old anthropology major who's just trying to make the most out of life.
Likes: Sarcasm, Psychoanalytic babble, piano, Ayn Rand, Concerts, Dancing, taking scenic pics, random road trips, scrabble, coffee and hot chocolate, Christmas and all other holidays that involve gifts and/or decorating, playing pool, Rusty my psycho puppy, nature, philosophy, Eastern philosophy, Neuropsychology, Music music music music. getting lost, being found, parks, bringing my camera and capturing the moment everywhere I go, movies, my guitar I can't play, writing, living room Karaoke, Egyptian art and history, antique furniture, imagery, fabulous lyrics, tail-gating, laughing so hard we cry, experience, and just living in general.
I try to look beneath the surface of people and things whenever the chance presents itself..and I appreciate the differences I notice. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all the information I've stored, until I realize I need all of it. I believe we gather pieces of the people we've met, as well as the experiences we've had, in order to build our own ultimate psyche. I believe in creating your own fate, but also recognizing the idea that it COULD be pre-destined.
I love spirituality and discussing the unknown. I think organized religion is beautiful, but completely ridiculous when it comes down to it. I believe in perspective and perception, and think it's important for everyone to consider the two before acting on anything. I love intellect and theories, and I'm sorry but if you don't have any, then I will probably be bored with you in 30 seconds.
I recognize the opportunity we have to be alive, and I live by understanding you may not get to do it again. I believe in being real, and really being. I love learning anything I can, any way I can- but I think the most we learn, is learned just by living... So here I am, learning it and living it everyday...
Please send me your votes... Like everyone else on the site, I really need the scholarship!

Hey, my name is Stephanie. :)
I am a senior in a high school located in good ol' Arizona. College is next year and as of now, I am planning on attending Northern Arizona University. Like many teenagers, I am not sure what I want to major in. However, I am leaning towards either Education or Psychology. I have always loved kids and have wanted to teach in an elementary school since I was young.
Here are some random facts about myself: I’m a Christian- I love Young Life! Orange juice is my favorite drink and PopTarts should be their own food group because they are just that good. I can quote Gilmore Girls and Reba all day long and not get bored. Country music is my favorite and I can sing every song on the stations. Even though I’m not very good at it, I love to sing and dance. I absolutely despise cheese in any shape or form. I am Asian and could eat rice with every meal. Taking adventures and being outdoors is a love of mine. Because I'm a very competitive person, I love to play sports. I am involved in volleyball and softball. I also love to make people laugh. You'll always see me with a smile on my face.
I think that is enough about myself. Have a great day, and thank you for visiting! :)

"It is never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot
My name is Erin and I'm 23, living in Jacksonville, Florida. In my spare time I like to go to the beach, go to concerts (when I can afford it : ), and read. I have many other hobbies- I like to repurpose old 'junk', knit, crochet, paint, crafty stuff- all of it, gardening, and many other things.
I currently attend school at Florida Community College at Jacksonville right now, and intend to transfer to the University of North Florida upon completion of my two year degree in the Fall. With the help of loans, I have finally been able to go back full time.
Once I attain my AA, I will begin substitute teaching as it is my final goal to teach. In the big scheme of things, I would like to teach at college level, preferrably Art History, but find that I enjoy all types of History. At the current moment I'm not entirely certain where my path will take me, but know that I want to teach and I will accomplish great things with my career.
Thanks for reading!

First off, I am grateful to CNet and the people who have voted for me. I am thrilled to have won the CNet scholarship once so far.
I'm a senior in high school. I always wanted to write novels. I have a knack for advertising but it requires long hours and lots of stress. So I'll be trying out Communication Sciences and Speech Disorders. Plus that is a major that is more geared towards helping people rather than screwing them.
I'm going to Pace University in the Fall.
-I love to write (ask if you'd like to read some of my work)
-I worked one summer at a college where international students enrolled to improve their English language skills and
-I volunteered helping the emotionally and physically disabled ride horses as a means of therapy
-I volunteer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
-I volunteer as an usher at a music hall
-I love oldies music
-I love to try new things
-I love animals
-I love to meet new people
-I went to Spain over spring break
If you'd like to be friends, add me on facebook (I'm under Loren Alexander)or email me at lorenfay@verizon.net
I hope to get to know all of you better. =) Thank you for your time and this opportunity. I'm sorry that I wrote so much here.

Hey there, I'm Jamie.
Me? I'm nothing extraordinary, just your all-around average girl. I am currently beginning the long process of moving into a college dorm (Northern Arizona University) and getting settled in a new place. I'm pretty nervous, but I'm excited for this new step into my future.
My dream is to become a graphic designer. If you don't know what that is, take a look at all the labels, website logos, DVD covers, and advertisements around you- a graphic designer made those. I've always been very artistic and creative, and I guess you could say I've also always been somewhat of a computer nerd. I have the latest graphic programs and have been experimenting with graphics for the last six years or more. It's something I've constantly been excited about, and I still continue to be enthusiastic about my choice in this career.
I have a few different hobbies, but one seems to stand out the most. I love volleyball- I've practically lived on the court for the last six years. It drives me to do my best and has taught me that hard work and dedication can lead to great things.
Anyhow, I won't bore you with all the small details. I'm a very friendly person so I'm always open to new friends and new discussions. :)

I'm an Architectural Student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, in the 7 year ArchD program working for my doctorate. I've spent my whole life coming up with insane idea's, sketching them out, and then having my grandpa (especially when I was quite young) pointing out things that could be improved upon. Which was nice because many of the things I'd have tried to build at 5 could be disastrous. Love to paint, play piano as much as I can a day without getting sick of it, and am hoping to get out of hawaii a bit and see some other places. With my degree I want to be able to travel all over the world, see crazy new things, especially buildings of course, and even just sneak into the main branch of the fazioli store so I can touch some of their pianos. I just like running around, doing whatever, and leaving charcoal smudges on everything, thanks for your time.

Hello CollegeNET peers. My name is Josh, and I'm a 3rd year student at the University of Central Florida majoring in Mechanical (Materials) Engineering.
Being an engineering major doesn't leave me with a lot of free time, but when I do get a moment off, I might take pictures, play some records, or help people with computer "stuff".
The lovely lady in the picture is my girlfriend, Jooyeon. The bit of money left over from paying my tuition fees this semester will help me go visit her as she has recently started attending the University of Missouri. D:

"No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big"...
Hello, my name is Jessilyn! I am a Freshman at Cal State Long Beach. I believe you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Many people think that you can't literally do anything you want to, but in reality you can. If you just take a step back and look at the world and how far we've come you'll see anything is possible. Every day miracles happen and dreams come true. I can take a step back and look at my life and how far I've come and I realize that I have done the impossible and continue to do it everyday. I believe everyone is unique and has something special to offer this world. I hope to meet as many people as I can in my life and change the world one step at a time. I am majoring in Psychology and I hope to help many people learn how to stay/become happy. I love my life and every day is brand new. If you fall just get back up again :) That's one of my mottos and it keeps me going everyday :)

Christie_lynn won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
I have applied for many scholarships over the years, but CollegeNET was the first scholarship that I won. The $4000 will help me tremendously with my college tuition and paying-off student loans. I worked for five months on the CollegeNET site in order to win and I can't explain the satisfaction I got when I found out that all of my hard work had paid off.
I believe that anybody who puts their mind to it can have a success story with CollegeNET; but in order to do so, it's necessary to fully dedicate yourself to the site and the scholarship competition. Use all five posts, every day. Make sure your posts are thought-provoking, heart-felt, honest and original. Anyone who puts forth all of their efforts and perseveres can win. I made CollegeNET a priority in my life and I believe that is what contributed to my win. I worked really hard, wrote very thought-out posts and had fun with everybody.
One big hint is to remain respectful of other member's opinions. Most people will vote for somebody who disagrees with them if they make a sound argument in their post; however, if you insult others, you are only alienating potential voters. When I won, I had absolutely no "outside" votes. That means that my win came because member of CollegeNET respected me and enjoyed my posts and rewarded me by voting for me.
Another hint, keep in mind you are competing for a scholarship. You need to put forth the same effort on CollegeNET as you would for any other scholarship competition. While you should have fun, don't make the mistake of thinking that you can slack-off and still win a scholarship. Make sure your posts represent the best part of you. Think of each post as a mini scholarship essay that you are being judged by. Try to make sure your spelling and grammar are correct. Make sure that your post makes sense... if people don't understand it then it looks as if you didn't take your time or didn't care.
Thank you CollegeNET for having such an amazing site that allows people to compete for scholarships while allowing everyone to have so much fun! Most scholarships occur once a year... CollegNET is a year-round opportunity. The judges are your peers who learn who you are by your involvement with the site. I am so thankful that I was able to win a scholarship while having fun and meeting new people at the same time.
Good luck to all who plan on competing for a CollegeNET scholarship! It truly is one of the best investments you can make!

Hello everyone!!
My name is Annette and I am 24 years old. I graduated high school 5 years ago and have been taking classes here and there at a community college as a nursing major. What has held me back is not being able to afford going to school on a regular basis. I find myself working one semester just to be able to afford one semester of classes. Some of my dreams in life is to complete college and become an RN and later become an OBGYN!
Many people come to me and ask me, "What made you choose to want to become a nurse?" Honestly, Ive known almost my entire live that ive wanted to dedicate mine to helping people and to try my hardest to put a smile on patients faces, even though they are stuck in a hospital bed. I want to give them not only hope that things will get better for them, but also help them and all others to realize that it only takes one smile to effect a persons life in a possive way.
The passion behind this dream, was fueled by the announcement that my younger brother was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Ever since that day I have been with him through every doctor visit, every medication he has to take, shots that I give to him, and every doctor saying it will never be cured. For this, I have been able to see what the medical field is all about and would absolutely love to be a part of it. My brother is now in remission and it was those doctors and nurses that helped him to achieve that. I am forever thankful to all of them for that. He can now move forward with his life after 9 years of the arthritis holding him back from his own dreams. Now it is my turn to be one of those nurses that make it possible to give back ones hopes and dreams.
I am looking forward to writing many posts and getting to know more about all of you. Goodluck on your dreams and hopefully I can help some of you to achieve yours with votes!
I'd like to take a second to say thank you to everyone that voted for me, and helped me to win the $1500 scholarship. You have no idea how this has helped me and my dream to become a nurse. To all of you, good luck and I will be here to help you all win as well!

Many thanks to all who voted for me. I'm not going anywhere, and I'll be voting for thoughtful Candidates all year.
I'm studying for an interdisciplinary bachelor's degree with concentrations in Human Studies and Rhetoric & Teaching, from Marylhurst University just south of Portland, Oregon - and maybe an MFA in writing after that.

Wow, this scholarship is so great. In August, I'll move halfway across the country to start medical school. Every bit of money absolutely helps the $370K (=$92K undergrad + $280K private med) in loans that I will have upon graduation. I quote that ridiculous sum - not to garner sympathy from you - but to encourage you to follow your dreams at whatever price tag that comes with it.
My advice to other CNETters is to post consistently; I posted 5x per day, except for days when I wasn't near a computer (i.e. vacation, super busy, etc.). I was absolutely terrible at starting forums, so instead I just replied to others. I am also proud to say that I won without a single outside vote, which attests that posting thoughtful comments can get you far (no matter what others on CNET tell you!).
So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me lessen my debt, so perhaps I can lead a semi-normal personal life at some point many years down the road (ha), while having the profession of my dreams. :)

I'm Natalie. I'm 19 and I am currently not in school. Family problems =( I miss school so much! I bet I won't be saying that when I get back lol... I'm a psychology major, but I'm starting to realize that I would love to dabble in Interior Designing as well. I'm excited about that. I miss my best friend, Lucia. She's going to Tyler Junior College for psychology and is also on the tennis team. She's so smart. Ranked 5 in our class and was number one on our Varsity Tennis team. She's an amazingly smart and beautiful person. I love music, preferably rock and country, but I also like pop and jazz,classical,blues and folk. =) Love tennis, volleyball, and golf. Especially tennis though. I've been playing for 7 years now. I love to read. I'm currently reading the Da Vinci Code. I watched the movie first and that saddens me,lol The books are always better. I'm the youngest of 6(4 sisters, 1 brother). Vote for me, I'll vote back... or vote back if I vote for you,lol =)

Hey! My name is Maggie and I am a current student at DePaul University! Thanks for stumbling upon my page!
I am currently a double major at DePaul University, majoring in both the History of Art and Architecture and Digital Cinema. I feel that women are greatly under-represented in the realm of film, and I would like to be a person to change that lack of balance. I am working my butt off in the sweet city of Chicago, knowing that all my hard work will pay off.

Hello! I am a 36 year old mother of 3 wonderful children. Four years ago I never would have thought I would be back in school earning a degree in Pastry. When I got married to my wonderful husband I had the mind set that I would take care of the house and the children that came later and he would be the one out working. We as we all know things change.
While he was working and our children have gotten older I decided that I wanted to go to work. I worked in a nusing home os first as a nursing assistant and then moved on to the local hospital. I enjoyed my job and really enjoyed helping and caring for others.
Then my parents got sick and going through both of their sicknesses and staying at the hospital with them, The hospital was not the place for me any more. I have always enjoyed creating and making things with both of my parents.
I have dabbled in everything from Sewing, to Lampwork ( Glass Work). I Finally realized that I could actually go back to school and get a job doing something that I could enjoy for a very long time. My husband became disabled wehn I started school 2 years ago. He hsas been very supportive. He has become Mr. Mom while I drive an hour away every day for school. After I received my pastry degree he told me to re apply and go a head and get my degree in Culinary Arts. So that is were I am now. My Family is very Important to me and now it is on me to be the primary bread wiiner. I have really enjoyed learning the many techniques that are involved in cooking and in pastry. My Family are tired of me talking about culinary things all the time but they enjoy the homework. I know that I'm not at the hospital anymore but I still enjoy doing things for people but now I can make them happy by filling their stomaches.

This is so exciting! I have never known of anything like this before and with the cost of education today, it is a breath of fresh air not only for me, but all of us who are participating on this site. As for me, I am currently a paramedic who has turned into a theology major with big questions that I hope I can someday find some of the answers to. Thanks to everyone for all of your support and good luck to everybody here, I hope you find the answers to your big questions as well. God Bless, Chris

I am enrolled in Culinard's Pastry Arts program, following my lifelong dream. Food is at the center of nearly every celebration, and great food sets the stage for fantastic memories. Food brings people together in a way that not much else can, and I hope to be a part of that.

Stephanie won a $5,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
I'm Stephanie and currently attend Temple University in Philadelphia. I am a double major in environmental studies and political science and will be graduating with those degrees in May 2011.
I recently studied abroad in Australia last summer and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I would not have been able to do it without winning a previous scholarship from CollegeNET as well, so THANK YOU!
Now I'm back, over a year later hoping to win a scholarship again. Things are really tight with money right now within my family so loans are currently paying for my entire tuition. Knowing that I will have to start paying them off in a year after graduation is seriously scary so if I can reduce some of those loans this last year that would help tremendously!

Hi everyone. Ewwww! It is hot hot summer!
Well...I am in the running for a scholarship again. I would greatly appreciate winning another scholarship because it would make life after college so much easier with less loans to pay back.
The scholarship would only pays for half a year of my schooling. Nevertheless, money is money and it would be beneficial for me to win again.
I am going to school for business management. I finished with my two years in October of 2009 but I will be attending till the summer of 2011.
Thanku.

Shanna♥ won a $4,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hi, I'm Shanna, double major in Political Science and Peace, Philosophy minor. Why you ask? Because when I was a little kid and all the other girls wanted to be princess' and ballerina's when they grew up... I wanted to rule the world.
I’ve always had a vision of waking up from my dreams and discontinuing mundane realities, by shaping the fantasies into something livable without limits.
I'm graduating in a year then attending medical school to become a doctor. I have an addiction to learning new things and a habit of creating a crisis when I write because I stretch myself to create goddamn impossible masterpieces. I enjoy nothing more than a person who can eloquently explain their passion, I feed of positive energy, and try to emit that same sort of honesty.

Hey there, I'm Mike!
(My initials are MW, hence the mdoubleu)

I just want to thank Cnet for not only giving me the opportunity to win this scholarship, but to have given me the chance to meet the people that I have. I never would've thought that I would actually gain anything from this site, especially friends. And that has been the greatest reward.
Thank you to all who supported me, and I will be around and continue to support you.
Thanks again. =]
---------------------
My goal is to become a Physical Therapist and concentrate on Athletic Training. I am intrigued by the body and how it works, so I decided that a career in PT would suit me, and I hope to get my B.S. After that I plan to pursue my dream and take my career down a path that coincides with my passion; which would be none other than motocross.
I believe Veritas Vos Liberabit, and the only way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
Best of luck to all of you!

Hello, I am Karin ♥
I attend MSU, majoring in chemical engineering. I am currently classified as a senior--3 semesters to go! (August 2011!)
So far, I have pretty much had to pay my way through college--either I got lucky with scholarships or I personally paid my bills. I am not a spoiled little college brat whose parents have paid for everything--mainly because my parents could not afford it. I am a college student running off my own steam and working my way through college.
I don't work during the semesters that I go to college. I worked two jobs during different parts of last year.
As a ChemE, I hardly find time for myself, much less a full-time or part-time job during school. So, like any college student, I struggle with finances and schoolwork. The semesters that I am at school are ones where I have no income and I have to live on what I tried to save up! I am also out of scholarships (save for this CNET one), so it is very difficult to be able to afford the things I need.
I'm also engaged to my high school sweetheart. ♥ We dated for 3 years, and then he proposed. Now we've been engaged for over a year. We will be married December 2011.
In my (rare) spare time, I love to play on my Nintendo DS, play computer games, write fan fiction, write poetry, play with my dogs, listen to music (nearly any genre), surf the web, and watch movies.
The picture is my puppy Penney. She's a beagle we recently adopted.

I am a student at Indiana University in Bloomington. My current major is Anthropology (specializing in Bioanthropology); I plan to declare Cognitive Science as my second major, and possibly Biology or Microbiology as a third major. I plan on minoring in Chemistry, and will probably add more minors. I am currently exploring Philosophy and Gender Studies as possible minors. I enjoy natural and mathematical science subjects the most, social sciences second, and humanities third. I am pre-med; I plan to become a surgeon, with neuro- or cardio-thoracics as my specialty.
I am a vegan and an environmentalist. I advocate civil rights, including gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender rights. When I hear racist or any type of prejudice comments, I will more than likely say something. I enjoy playing guitar and attending musicals on my free time (when I actually have free time). I do not get enough sleep, I dye my hair a lot, and I spend way too much time on the internet. I do not consider myself a religious person, however, I consider myself a spiritual person, and my morals are similar to that of a Buddhist.
I enjoy helping people, and will participate in community service when able. I am an active blood donor, and am planning soon to donate plasma.
Education is extremely important to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to receive the education I am currently receiving, though I wish I did not have so many loans looming over my head!

I've been volunteering at the hospital since 2005, amassing about 1000 hours over the four years in assisting other patients and whatnot. I've worked in Day Surgery keeping the coffee and blankets warmed up, Pre-Assessment, Gift Shop popping popcorn and handling moolah, parading in July Fourth parade, and being the hospital mailman. I've also placed first in Future Business Leaders of America math competition first place for two years in a row.
I would love to go to the University of Southern California or University of California at Los Angeles in pursing my route to Pre-Med. I aim to be a pediatrician as my family doctor has inspired me; but if all else fails, I would like to pursue the profession of a physical therapist. I'm REALLY looking forward to college and its atmosphere; eating in the cafeteria with prepaid meals, hanging out in the dorm, kicking back and chilling, studying up all night long, and most of all, a new world.
Some of my hobbies are tennis, soccer, eating new foods, playing video games, and anime =)

Immersion in Froth by: Moi
I am liquid soap, free to roam inside my container as I please;
Harmless to the touch, deadly if you dare;
With a squirt here and a squirt there, water and friction become my two best friends;
Patience is a virtue when counting down, for sanitation to take in effect is a must;
Easy to use, easy to dispense, easy to make haste yet with not so much waste;
As simple as I may appear, complexity is in the air;
Applied on hands, applied to clean, applied to assist, a helping I must;
My atoms take shape wherever I may go, survival of the fittest I do and must know;
Whether it’s the fragrance of cherry blossom or minty green, I will always be my own liquid soap.

My atoms take shape wherever I may go, survival of the fittest I do and must know;
Whether it’s the fragrance of cherry blossom or minty green, I will always be my own liquid soap.

TiffanyMarie won a $2,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hola! This is Tiffany speaking, how many I help you? Hmm a little about myself-I've grown up in an under populated town called Kahoka, been here basically all of my life. I'm a country girl (not fully, but I don't mind getting dirty, or handling frogs/bugs etc).
I am currently going to a Community College, I have about a year and a half left and then I have no clue what college I will be lead to. I want to double major-Elementary Education (maybe an Art Teacher) and Photography, with a possible minor of Graphics Design.
I have high expectations for myself, and perceive myself as a perfectionist, though I'm far from it. I honestly just want to make this world better when I officially "grow up" I want to make a difference in the eyes of children before they get older and make it out into the crazy world, give me a chance to do this by voting for me and giving me a scholarship to go to said University, I will make you proud :)

Thank you CollegeNET for giving me the opportunity to earn a scholarship while broadening my horizons. I am very appreciative to have given this privilege and look forward to applying this scholarship toward my education.
My fellow Cnet family, I couldn't have done it without your continued support month after month, and for that, I thank you too. You are great, and now that I've won I will continue to show my support for you as well.
Best of luck to all participants in the months to come!
Oh, and just so you know, I'll be sticking around!

My name is Andrea Hamilton and I am attending NWACC in August. I decided that I am going to go into the Physical Therapy Assistant degree. That way I will make decent money with that and if I ever decide to go back to school, I can become the actual Physical Therapist.
My main goal in life is to become successful in my career and have a happy family to stand by my side.
I am so grateful to this site and think that there should be more sites like this out there!

I believe that if you are fortunate in any kind of way, you should share it w/ others make it better for them even if it is for 1 day.

I am a student really dedicated to my school work, to community services, and to volunteer work. I believe that I have to be the change that I want to see in the world.
My mother is from Haiti and also lives there( I grew up there and was also raised there). All her life, until now, she strived/struggled in order to get me a better education from the one she had....
My dream is to become a physician(a doctor) in order to help the most infortunate. Going to the doctor without having any healtcare insurance, I know that. I lived this situation because I do not have any insurance....
Sometimes things get tough. My major requires a lot of courses. Sometimes I ask myself if I will always be able to respond to my economic demands. A scholarship will be a big support for my mother and I, and later others will beneficiate from my work because I believe that my mission on earth is to help those that are in need of medical care but cannot really afford it.

Well what else to say about me? I am from Haiti. People who heard about my country know that unfortunately its a poor country. Anyway, I am currently in Smyrna, GA to fight hard, and get a good education, which I can't get from Haiti, and go back to help others. This is why I really hope to win any scholarship available. Thank you guys for your understanding and your votes.
Beside that, I love sports and music...I like playing basketball....I also play the violin, the bass, and the piano...

Good luck everyone!! I wish you the best as you pursue your educational dreams : )
A big thanks to CollegeNET for providing this corner of the web where students can hang out, discuss and get the great opportunity for a scholarship!
And thank you CollegeNET and for everyone who voted for me! The opportunity and support means more to me than words can say.
For those of you who don't know me I'm a "non-traditional" student who returned to school/work after 10 years. I learned it was hard to find a job after a 10 yr resume gap and no college degree. After getting back on track, I finally was able to finish my Associates, then worked towards a Bachelors. Last year I reached that goal and I've decided to chase my dream of getting an MBA degree, I'm excited to say 1/2 way there!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others". (Coach Carter)

On a more personal note, I've been married for almost three years, and my hubby and I have two awesome dogs: a lab and a papillon. We don't have kids yet (aside from our dogs), because I want to be able to devote as much time and attention to them as possible, and I can't do that while I'm still in school.
Anyhow, that's a little bit about me... you can find out more in my posts. :)

one of the most important things i think societty could do for itself would be NOT to judge people based on a group they belong to (age, sex, race, etc...) but rather judge them as the individuals they are. It would be injustice to do otherwise.

My name is Angela Rodarte. I have lived in the Palm Springs area my whole life. I'm currently attending College of the Desert to recieve my A.A. I plan on transfering to the Design Institute in San Diego to become an interior designer.
However, I don't know if my plans will fall through. My father died in a car crash in December. Our family has not only taken a great emotional loss, but also a financial one. I've been applying to lots of scholarships at my school, but haven't heard back from anyone. I am hoping and praying that I find a way to get myself through school. Education was so important to my dad. He came from a poor family of 4 children. My dad was the youngest, so by the time that he was ready for college, his parents didn't have the money. He always encouraged me to do what I loved and most importantly to finish school. By going to college, I'm not only fulfilling my dreams, but also his.

My name is Erin and I'm 23, living in Jacksonville, Florida. In my spare time I like to go to the beach, go to concerts (when I can afford it : ), and read. I have many other hobbies- I like to repurpose old 'junk', knit, crochet, paint, crafty stuff- all of it, gardening, and many other things.
I currently attend school at Florida Community College at Jacksonville right now, and intend to transfer to the University of North Florida upon completion of my two year degree in the Fall. With the help of loans, I have finally been able to go back full time.
Once I attain my AA, I will begin substitute teaching as it is my final goal to teach. In the big scheme of things, I would like to teach at college level, preferrably Art History, but find that I enjoy all types of History. At the current moment I'm not entirely certain where my path will take me, but know that I want to teach and I will accomplish great things with my career.
Thanks for reading!

Hello,
I am back, sorry I have been gone a long time, school and work have been crazy!!
Here is my profile:
I am just a girl who is trying to pay for college. I work full-time and go to school full-time and I still cannont afford to put myself through school. I cannot get financial aid because my parents make too much money. They obviously did not take into account that I have five other brothers and sisters one of which is in college as well. I just want to be able to finish school so I can put the rest of my family through college so they don't have to work full-time like I do. Thanks for reading this hope everyone has a great day!!

I graduated 11th in my class, was an AP and dual-credit student, the editor-in-chief of my HS paper.
I went to 4 different high schools, 9 schools in all. I have faults and quirks like everyone, but I value my education highly.
Some of my favorites: ice cream, music, politeness, writing, comfy beds, Texas, being generous and helpful
I participated in UIL, about 7 clubs, and community service.

Hopefully I can return the favor =)
Hey! I am currently finishing my degree at Tulsa Community College and looking to transfer to Oral Roberts University in the fall. I work three jobs and volunteer with various ministries around town including Young Life. I am doing everything I can to get scholorships so I will be able to continue my education at Oral Roberts so I will be better equipped to make a difference in the world.
It has been my DREAM to attend ORU since I was 16 years old and at this point the only thing that could possibly hold me back is finances so I can use all the help I can get!
I love to help people and if I can find a good way to do that with my life then then the goal will be met. As you can tell I'm a pretty busy bee with very few funds so getting this scholarship will mean so much!

Thank you so much!! This site is great. I have met a lot of wonderful people here and plan to stick around.
At 31, I just started school in January 2008. I haven't been in school in ten years so it's a little overwhelming. You know, I don't have the computer skills that some of you young whippersnappers possess!! Don't get me wrong, I can check my email, but I've got a lot to learn.
I am going to Portland Community College right now, but plan to transfer to Oregon State University to major in forestry.
Originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, I moved to Oregon almost six years ago for the hiking. I love the mountains, the waterfalls, the ocean, the wildflowers and everything else this beautiful state has to explore. In the summer, I spend every weekend in the forest and I am looking forward to spending my life there.
I live in the city with my chef boyfriend and our two cats and spend my limited free time practicing yoga, taking pictures and running endless errands!! It never ends!

I'm a bibliophile and aspiring Children's Librarian. I've been teaching learning disabled kiddos how to read for the past two years and I love my job. I'm going to grad school for my Master's in Library Science and will be focusing in Youth Services. A huge portion of my life is spent showing children how empowering literacy can be in all aspects of their lives.
I'm a first generation college student and extremely proud of my working class roots and my family members who are still working in factories in order to survive. Without their sacrifices, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Thank you all for your help.

My name is Alisha! I am pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems at Sam Houston State University. I plan on owning a very successful business after I graduate from college. What kind of business? I don't quite no yet, but that is what college is all about, experiencing and learning new things. With the money I earn from the business, I would love to start a recreation center in my hometown. My hometown is filled with great kids who just don't have the money to develop their athletic, musical, and intellectual skills. A recreation center will give them a great place to feel safe and develop their skills.

Hi! My name is Marlyn. I would like to pursue my BA in Business.
I'm indecisive right now, Business emphasis in Accounting or Healthcare.
I still have one year for making a final decision, though.
I'm taking my core studies at a community college because it's a lot cheaper. But eventually, I will have to transfer which will costs 2x or 3x more than current tuition. I'm paying for my own tuition so I need this extra $$$.

The picture is of my new and 1st Grandson!
Here's my email: tricianrick@comcast.net
Well, let's see, I am a forty year old woman. Wife to a wonderful husband and mother to four great kids ages thirteen to twenty-six. I have decided it is time for me to fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher. Years ago I went to beauty school and have enjoyed my time of making someone feel special, but feel it is time to make an impact on today's teenagers. I would like to teach 7th grade and higher.
My kids are great kids. I have played everything from Barbies to Legos. I even have an account on Runescape and play with three of my kids online. Kids now days don't have the same interests that I did as a child. Rather than try to make them conform to me, I have choosen to walk their way, to a degree. My two youngest are boys and I am supposedly the Mom of the Year to them and their friends. I chaperone many events and have been told I am the 'cool or kewl' Mom.
My kids know they can talk to me about anything, regardless of what the discussion is, even if I am not comfortable with the subject. Sometimes in life, we have to sacrifice our comfort to explain or answer questions. Some of our conversations have been about sex, some of drugs. Mostly, they have been about school and friends. I guess some parents are not always willing to sacrifice comfort. The answers I give are not always what they want to hear, but I know I answer them to their level of maturity. Because of my experience with my teenagers and friends, I feel I can be a positive influence for other teens.
We have four cats and two iguanas. I feel pets are important for children, because it teaches responsibility, compassion and unconditional love.

Hm, what can I say? I'm old. I'm an old undergrad trying to get my degree in Biology. I'm old because I work full time, go to school part time, and classes I take are dependent on what I can fit around my work schedule and my budget (did you ever notice that you work in a job, but everyone else seems to get your money?) Did I mention I'm old?

Thank you to all of those who have taken the time to look at my profile and or vote for me.

What I can guarantee is if you take the time to converse with me and write thoughtfully, I will most assuredly vote for you…
My Name is Eric and I am an aspiring social worker…
I have my associates in business administration
Exactly one year away from my bachelor’s in psychology
One year and a few months till I start my two year master’s program in Social work
I have a 4.0 in all the courses I have taken over the last two years or so…
I am very happy go lucky when I can be and want to emphasize my humorous side…
If you have any questions feel free to ask me here or my email cnetunderground@wi.rr.com...
I cannot claim to have all the answers; in fact I am probably more confused and lost about life...
Once you think you are happy then it has a habit of changing… never content
“Life” the biggest four letter word I have ever said
My goal is to look, listen, and learn… so feel free to teach me, I am an apt pupil

I am the mother of two children with autism and trying to compete for scholarships to pay for school. With two children requiring specialized therapy programs, it's hard to pay for school myself and like many others money is tight.
I have returned to college after 15 years with the hopes of finishing my degree and taking what I've learned in the classroom and in the real world to improve the quality of life of individuals and families living with autism.
Presently, I'm preparing for graduate school for a Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis, Autism Studies and working as a therapeutic support staff with children.
I am also working on autism awareness within my community to encourage additional programming to support individuals and families.

Hello world.
The reason my profile has a noticeable lack of details is that I'm a secret agent who goes under the moniker Agent Frost and with my partner Agent Mofo, we are constantly neutralizing threats that threaten the lives of people. As you can imagine, preventing someone from selling forever lasting, near indestructible and highly addictive bubble gum pisses a lot of people off and makes you a lot of enemies, so it's best that not too much is known about me.
Or, it could be that I'm a scientist and I'm performing a social experiment. Maybe it intentionally lacks details to mess with your head and is one of the many subtle things I do as part of the tests. I'll tell you one thing, the reactions people have from 3 post winners are mounds of golden data.
It's also possible that I'm a computer program running an advanced artificial intelligence chatbot program and I lack a significant background or at least one that I can post. Saying I'm from Factory, IBM or Sirius Cybernetics would kind of give things away along with any chance I have of passing the Turing test.
Regardless of which, I'm a pretty cool guy/girl/it and I either enjoy or was programmed to enjoy the discussion that occurs in the research lab, I mean on the forums.

Vote for me!! I appreciate it!

I am a Master's student enrolled in courses to become a school counselor. I look forward to finish in December as long as I can get my 600 hours of internship in. I plan to start my internship in July. I have been a member of Cnet for 10 months; I finally won in month 8. I still appreciate everyone's support. I will be on here as often as I can to help out the rest of you. I know how important it is. I know they are hard to see, but those are my two cats in that picture.

Shanna♥ won a $1,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hi, I'm Shanna, double major in Political Science and Peace, Philosophy minor. Why you ask? Because when I was a little kid and all the other girls wanted to be princess' and ballerina's when they grew up... I wanted to rule the world.
I’ve always had a vision of waking up from my dreams and discontinuing mundane realities, by shaping the fantasies into something livable without limits.
I'm graduating in a year then attending medical school to become a doctor. I have an addiction to learning new things and a habit of creating a crisis when I write because I stretch myself to create goddamn impossible masterpieces. I enjoy nothing more than a person who can eloquently explain their passion, I feed of positive energy, and try to emit that same sort of honesty.

Well school has started and I'm back after deciding to finish my bachelors at 40. Not much seems to have changed at the community college level since I left and went to work as a freelance journalist more than 12 years ago (I know, my old profile said 14 years, but my math was off). I got lucky four years ago and got hired at a small newspaper as the managing editor. But I got laid off in December, and I found out--not to my surprise--how hard it was going to be to get a job at that level again without my degree. So now I'm in school; unemployed; not qualified for financial aid, because I supposedly made too much money while I was working. But life is good and the universe is bountiful. This month I hope to win something, and I hope you do too.

I am now attending college and have realized that paying for college is just as challenging as applying for it! I love college though!!! So with that said I need funds to continue my education. I'm a freshman majoring in animal science and my minor is either psychology or Chemistry... I still can't decide but I'm leaning more towards psychology. I am attend Texas A&M University-Commerce for 4 years then I will finally move up to Texas A&M University- College Station (pretty excited when that time comes)!!! So I have a lot of school ahead of me. I thought that this would be a fun way to win a scholarship rather then writing an essay so pleeeease help me. Thanks

I have 3 beautiful children and an awesome husband, all of which I am in total love with.
My family and I love spending most of our free time outdoors and love camping, fishing, hiking, ect. I also help coach our daughters softball team, which is awesome.
I picked this pic because my 2 year old has slept with his baby Snoopy every night since he was born, and loves anything Snoopy, so the whole family has basically adapted to a new world with Snoopy being a top priority.

Hey everyone! My name is Megan. I'm a nursing student/nanny and I'm loving every second of it! I don't want to be somebody's nanny for the rest of my life which is I'm continuing my education. I changed my major to nursing about 2 years ago and I would LOVE to become a labor and delivery nurse. Sometimes people just need somebody to hold their hand and their families aren't always there to do it for them.
I'm 26 and recently got engaged to my boyfriend of 3 1/2 years. We bought a house in 2009 and our wedding is in October 2010. We moved to Austin together 2 1/2 years ago and we absolutely love it here. I'm extremely lucky because he supports me in everything I do; finishing school, working long hours, helping me clean the house, etc. I can't wait to begin my career and get on with the rest of my life:)

Hi,
My name is Akum Lee and I am a freshman at Oakwood College. I have a passion for Business Marketing and hope to one day use my degree as a way to help people in the future.
On my free time I love to play basketball, run track, and eat some good home cooking! I’m also a family health and education representative. As an FHER, me and my family go into impoverished communities to assist people who are unaware of the value of healthy living and education. Many are suffering from illnesses that could be avoided by very simple lifestyle changes. We give free health seminars, cooking classes, and books, all in hopes that with this information, they can make easy modifications to save their lives. I feel very privileged to be in this work, and hope to combine it to a greater skill with my business marketing degree in the future.

I am approaching the end of my second year in college working toward a degree in Special Education. Words can honestly not even begin to describe how I feel about children with special needs. They are so easy to love and they just want a chance at the most normal life they can possibly have. Most of these children are unbelievably smart and you would be amazed at what can be taught to them. I look forward to helping these children in need. I am approaching a point in my education where there is not very much financial help. I am doing my best but I work, go to school almost full time, and raise three kids. I would not trade it for anything but money is hard to come by at times. My fiance' lost his job a few years ago making good money and now he puts in over 60 hrs/wk plus I work. It is still not enough with all of the bills, school, 3 kids, and everything else that is constantly going up in price. We just can't get to the point of making what he made before. I am not going to quit school though. I have come too far to quit even if I have to pay with loans and go deeper into debt. Any help that may come my way for school will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and for getting to know me. Jessica

ok...now about dabear....
"follow the evidence" (grissom) interpreted from a quote from ep220.
so call me "mr greycloud bear" if you please...or felt like the wind..or for those who know me from ages ago greatvoice (gv for short)
contrary to the gruff rough exterior and hard pounding opinions, i am a very kind, loving, eclectic person. I write as a hobby that evokes deep feelings, and have been published.i enjoy art and it's expressionism..from paintings and graphics to music and film. most people love me or hate me..isn't that life? **note** this is all to be a bit tongue in cheek. and with a bit of dry humour.
in case you are wondering about the picture, it is artwork done by the great Peter Saville of PSA. work reminds me of art deco/nouveau/gothic.
i am called a native english teacher because i teach english as a second language and my first language is english. i teach esl outside of the states.
i am also a doctoral (PhD) candidate in Adult Education. Who knows I may be your teacher one day in some other subject than English, perhaps cultural studies or something. I was a trainer before and I made people think. I used many tools in training as i do in teaching. It pays to think here too!
If you would like to vote for me here, that would be appreciated kindly! yes, you can vote for me! see the vote button!:)~
uggh research!and it won;t end!
for those who know me as "felt like the wind"...
i am who i am and that's all i can be
i am the water and the wind..my voice speaks with the crashing waves of life, and the wind is how my thoughts touch you. i am often quiet and never heard, but you know i have been there or here...
I also have motor skills issues, and though that is my issue, it also has to do with who i am and my words.
I am not one to believe in god, though I have my spirits that guide me. (there is a diff yes.)

Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa. I'm 21 years old and I go to a community college. I am striving to become a Registered Dietitian.
I am a full time student and also work 40 hours/week, so it can be tough at times. However, I have learned how to deal with it. My hobbies include reading, watching my favorite shows, being with my family and just being happy.
I like the idea of collegenet.com because it gives people an opportunity to share opinions. I like sharing my beliefs and ideas, so I think that this is a great site.
I would like to wish best of luck to everyone :)

My name is Allison Ng. My dream had always been to become America's best female lawyer. I could dream all I want but in reality without an extensive amount of education; I am not becoming anything ,nor am I going anywhere.
The road on fulfilling my dream had become long and harsh. At times, I wanted to give up, but my dreams carried me on. Truth is I really want and need this scholarship, as we all know books, supplies, tuition, and fees had become a burden for many college students. I decided not to let my financial burdens become a reason why I did not fulfill my dream. Actually, there is no reason why I cannot fulfill my dream. If you can dream it; you can do it.
I volunteer at helpmate ( a domestic violence shelter ) . I am also participants for breast cancer walks.. aids walk..etc. I volunteer at petsmart for the adoption center.
And NEVER give up on your dreams. Because dreams do come true... =)
Thanks for everyone that voted for me =)
The road on fulfilling my dream had become long and harsh. At times, I wanted to give up, but my dreams carried me on. Truth is I really want and need this scholarship, as we all know books, supplies, tuition, and fees had become a burden for many college students. I decided not to let my financial burdens become a reason why I did not fulfill my dream. Actually, there is no reason why I cannot fulfill my dream. If you can dream it; you can do it.
I volunteer at helpmate ( a domestic violence shelter ) . I am also participants for breast cancer walks.. aids walk..etc. I volunteer at petsmart for the adoption center.
And NEVER give up on your dreams. Because dreams do come true... =)

Hi!! I am a busy mom of 3 boys, volunteer, cancer survivor, and now a college student.
I am currently attending the University of Phoenix (after a long break) and pursuing a double major. My goal is to do event planning and fund-raising for a non-profit organizations.
Student loans are covering a lot but I am still $1600 shy. So I am looking for a way to pay the bill and still raise my little ones.
I look forward to meeting all of you! Thank you for your vote! Collegenet, thank you for giving me the chance to achieve my dreams.
I return votes! Please return mine if you think I deserve it!! Good luck to you all. :-)

Hello, I am Karin ♥
I attend MSU, majoring in chemical engineering. I am currently classified as a senior--3 semesters to go! (August 2011!)
So far, I have pretty much had to pay my way through college--either I got lucky with scholarships or I personally paid my bills. I am not a spoiled little college brat whose parents have paid for everything--mainly because my parents could not afford it. I am a college student running off my own steam and working my way through college.
I don't work during the semesters that I go to college. I worked two jobs during different parts of last year.
As a ChemE, I hardly find time for myself, much less a full-time or part-time job during school. So, like any college student, I struggle with finances and schoolwork. The semesters that I am at school are ones where I have no income and I have to live on what I tried to save up! I am also out of scholarships (save for this CNET one), so it is very difficult to be able to afford the things I need.
I'm also engaged to my high school sweetheart. ♥ We dated for 3 years, and then he proposed. Now we've been engaged for over a year. We will be married December 2011.
In my (rare) spare time, I love to play on my Nintendo DS, play computer games, write fan fiction, write poetry, play with my dogs, listen to music (nearly any genre), surf the web, and watch movies.
The picture is my puppy Penney. She's a beagle we recently adopted.

vegetarian tigress won a $2,500 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hi everyone!! I am a student with big dreams who loves to write and share my opinion!! As a future Pediatrician, I help as many children as I can to appreciate the power of reading and imagination, believing that if the mind is healthy, the body will follow suit!! Next year, I will be majoring in Biology and minoring in French and Spanish because I plan to go to medical school in Egypt and I just found out (at my future school's open-house) that Arabic is not offered as a major!!
I am very shy, but when I feel impelled to, I will voice my opinion and why it is important to me. I am also very stubborn and will stand for what I believe in even when the odds seem greatest.
As it says below, I will be attending Spelman College next fall and with all the college credits that I have plus the AP tests that I will be taking this May,I plan to enter Spelman College as a sophmore!! I have new goals that are born all the time and let nothing hinder me from achieving them.
Thanks for reading this!! Stay cool and smile forever!!

kwalenga won a $1,250 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
I got my associates degree from a private school with a
3.95 gpa.
I was looking at a very prestigious university close to me, however when trying to enroll, they were only talking about transferring less than 1/3 of my 60 credits, and they wanted me to provide syllabuses for every class I took during my previous studies. This would take 3-4 years to complete my Bachelors.
It has been 11 years since I finished my associates. The first 8 years in computer networking was great, but over the following 2 years I was unemployed for 11 months, nearly losing everything. I have been working the last year, but at 17% less than what I was making. I am living paycheck to paycheck, and giving up my house to return to school. I haven't sold it yet, and the equity was taken during unemployment. But they all say I make too much to "qualify" for any help
After some recommendations, I am going to University of Phoenix. They are accepting 52-53 credits out of 60, and are designed for "non-traditional" (gotta love that term) students. I hope to find some help paying for my endeavors.

If you want to overcome those obstacles in your way, you've got to walk like a champion and talk like a champion. Do away with the words of defeat. Think like a conqueror. You've got to believe that your dreams will one day manifest.
With all that said, good luck to you as you pursue your dreams and overcome your obstacles. God BLESS!!

Hi! My name is Daphne and I'm a Sr Drafter for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve through the Department Of Energy. I have 2 degrees in Drafting (Diploma and Associates) and my Associates Degree in Information Technology. I'm currently attending McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA in pursuit of my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. I'm so excited to be back in school and working towards my ultimate dream. I plan to use my Mechanical Engineering degree to advance at my new job.
I'm a strong believer in freedom of speech and I believe that everyone has an opinion and no opinion is right or wrong. I think this site is great and I really enjoy reading everyone's posts and responding to them.
I wish everyone the best of luck in college and in getting scholarships to pay for it. I know college is very costly. I'm still paying for my past degrees while working towards my biggest one. I don't qualify for grants and I'm to my max in loans. I will be paying for my college through scholorships and self pay from here on out.
I commend everyone for pursuing a college education. That is the best decision anyone can make in life. Without college education there is just no way possible to succeed and make a great life for yourself. I sure wouldn't have the job I have now without it.
Good luck to everyone!!!!

*~* Old Profile Message *~*
I made a new profile message since i thought the first one wasnt really that great. Anyway, I'm from the Philippines and my real name is Johanne. My friends just call me Joh. Amelie is my french name.
Moving on... my family and i have been going back and forth from the Philippines to the US. (It gets a bit tiring after a while.) When i finally got back in time for college the prices were so high!!! Also it is a bit hard to get scholarships and other stuff because... well you all probably know how hard it is to get them.
My chosen profession costs a lot of money. It will also make me have to go to school for about 13 more years after high school. But that's alright with me, i like going to school. (hehe!) I plan on becoming a forensic scientist. Yes, i know, a doctor for the dead??!! is she crazy??!! Maybe... maybe not... hehe... it's not so much as doctoring dead people but about being able to prove who the killer was and helping out the concerned family in distress.
I love helping other people out. That's why i volunteer at my community a lot. For now, what im really worried about is the money that i need to pay for college (isnt everyone?!) and going to college itself! But then again, i think it will prove to be pretty exciting.
I just thought to go with an anime picture depicting my favorite color...GREEN!!! lolz!!!
I may sound childish but I'd do anything to make my dreams come true... (especially since everyone thinks that im gonna make a mistake and end up as a failure... I want to prove them wrong, as much as for myself and to them.) I actually want to thank them for thinking that way because it challenged me to show to them that im not someone who gives up that easily. And seeing as how I have a personality that just never backs down from a challenge, well they were asking for it...lol!!!
I wish everyone here goodluck!!! I hope all your dreams come true as well!!! BTW I enjoy reading everyones' posts... I wish that everyone will be able to get something from this website even if it's not money... ^_^

And thank you CollegeNET and for everyone who voted for me! The opportunity and support means more to me than words can say.
For those of you who don't know me I'm a "non-traditional" student who returned to school/work after 10 years. I learned it was hard to find a job after a 10 yr resume gap and no college degree. After getting back on track, I finally was able to finish my Associates, then worked towards a Bachelors. Last year I reached that goal and I've decided to chase my dream of getting an MBA degree, I'm excited to say 1/2 way there!

So, I will become a full-time student in August this year. I know that I will be in for a lot of work, but somehow, feel like my life is more on track when there is a lot going on. I am really looking forward to school this time, and continuing to provide a good life for my children.

I can say it's been tough living away from my family while trying to get adjusted to a new life style, language and law, but I'm also thankful of the things I've learned being because of them.I'm currently studying at a local college to continue pursuing my dream to become a teacher, while working full time as a teacher assistant with precious little four-five year olds.I'm also a lion's club member from Peru, have opened a non-profit dog shleter in Peru along with other students, and I'm a member of the Phi Theta Kappa in my school. There's nothing more joyful than to help in the community to make it a nicer place to live.

I am a 31 year old wife and mother of two boys, graduated in 1993, and I just decided this year to return to college. I'm sure this experience will be a blessing both to myself and my children. I can't WAIT to start in the fall! Now I just have to figure out how to PAY for it! lol. I have all my financial aid info in, but am not going to qualify for much!
My kids are both going to need braces (in the next 3 months) and they're quite expensive. My dentist told me on the up side of $6,000. ;-(
Well, good luck to everyone! I'm so glad I found CollegeNet.com! I love it here!

Hi There!
I'm 38 and happily married to a wonderful woman that has somehow put up with me for the past 8 years and I could never be happier...well, the free scholarship money couldn't hurt.
I'm currently in the Army working as a Nuclear Biological & Chemical Weapons Defense Specialist (thus, the nifty avatar to the left - it's not me, but it's still kinda' cool).
When I'm not defending the free world, I'm reading, listening to music, chatting with the wife, or enjoying my addiction to video games.
I'm hoping to get back into college and study criminology with a focus on counter-terrorism. It's real. I've seen it, and I want to do everything I can to stop it.
My basic philosophy of life has always been "Find Your Own Truth". Never accept what is handed to you. Always question and never be afraid to question yourself.
After enjoying over four months of posting I've decided to move on. It has been fun, but I no longer have the time for it. If anyone's still interested in my musings look for me on Helium. It shouldn't be that hard to find me. I post under the handle of David Furritus. Hope to see some of you there.
(for what it's worth, as a winner I get an infinite number of votes to hand out every month. If you'd like one drop me a line. If I like your postings I'll give you one. If not, I'll at least tell you why:)

I'm a biology/chemistry student at San Francisco State University. I have been here for one year and met and worked with some amazing people in the Bay Area. I work three jobs (about 50 hours/week) and I'm taking classes! When I'm not studying or working, in my spare time I love to sleep and read. It's pretty boring and uneventful right now, but all of this work (I hope) will pay off eventually! I also work with preschool kids in an Americorps literacy program in San Francisco call Jumpstart. It's been extremely rewarding and I may continue this next year.
I hope to become a researcher in a field within chemistry (not sure what yet) after going to grad school.
This website is a great idea. It's hard to decide who to vote for. When I received ballots from participants on the site and from friends and family, I cast my ballots for a whole bunch of people. I didn't really pick and choose because EVERYONE is writing great, thoughtful posts. Getting your friends and family to vote is a great way to get people to join the site and write their own posts. I've never written a blog or even posted on a website before, so this was all new to me. The key is to vote for as many people as you can. I read lots of posts and they were all fun and interesting reads.
This picture is an example of a molecule that I'll be researching over the summer. I'm trying to find a picture of myself to post...very soon!!

Nickee won a $3,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hi there! My name is Nicole. My friends call me Nickee. My family calls me Nic. You can call me whatever.
Yes, I'm a previous winner. Yes, I'm eligible to win again so please vote for me!
A little bit about me: I'm a 33 year old college student longing for the golden ticket to a high paying job that will leave me financially secure for the rest of my life. Actually, I just thought it would be a good investment to obtain a college degree and make the most of the opportunites available to me! I'm a huge animal lover (my dog, Buudy Love, is completely spoiled), and I'm also very proud of my Native American heritage - my mother is Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux and my father the Cherokee tribe.
In June of 2009, I will become a first generation college graduate. I graduated with honors and an Associate's degree in liberal arts from Spokane Community College in 2007. I have since moved on to the "big" university - Eastern Washington University, go Eagles!! I finished my minor in Visual Communication Design this quarter, and I start the classes for my major - Communication Studies - this summer.
I like to consider myself a jack of all trades with many talents - I was an air traffic controller in the United States Army, a computer programmer, a bartender, a real estate agent, an artist, a confidant to my friends, and currently I am a supervisor in a call center. Glamorous, I know.
Even though I've already won a scholarship from this site once, it would really help me out not to have a mountain of debt by the time I graduate...so a vote for me would be much appreciated!
Good luck to all!

Hey Everyone!
I am a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh, but I am originally from Maryland, in a city just outside of D.C. Going to Pitt was kind of a fluke decision. I never thought I would live in another city, but now that I do, I love it. I've met people that I truly believe will be in my life forever, and I want to keep it that way. Unfortunately, my father believes that 28,000 dollars a semester is not going to happen, and wants me to live in-state, and instead, pay 8,000 dollars a semester. I wouldn't blame him for wanting to save what ultimately, is going to be his retirement fund (and he's worked so hard for it), but I love my new life, and my new school. This site is one of the only chances I have at meeting my father half-way.
That said, I have an interesting, open, and HONEST point of view. Part of that has come from being in a new environment, and the other part comes from being a bit of a kook. Even if I don't get that many votes, I can't resist a chance to get out an original thought. Please, disagree with me! It makes me think more carefully about the statements I make, and is conducive to a healthy discussion (which equals a good time)
With that said, let the voting begin...

G.I Jane, Mary Jane, Jane’s Addition, Saving Jane, Lady Jane, Jane the Pain, Dick and Jane, Tarzan and Jane … oh I could go forever but as you may have guessed, my name is Jane. Hello!!!
I am a first generation college freshman at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts that with any luck will transfer to her dream school, Simmons College in Boston, next year.
I say with any luck because financial difficulties (like us all) stand in my way. This is why I am so excited to have discovered this fantastic website! Not only is it a way to *hopefully* win some money, but I am also saving the sanity of my friends and family in the process (people may call my shy but if I know you damn can I talk your ear off about anything from politics to that weird dream I had).
Last summer I had THREE JOBS. I had a paper route in the morning which required me to wake up at 2:00. I usually got home around 6:30 am and then slept for a *few* more hours until my next job at Wal-Mart in the photo lab from 9 to 4. From there I would normally go to my third job at a home décor store called Kirkland’s from 5 – 10 pm. If I was not completely burnt out by this point I would go hang out with my boyfriend and other friends until about 12:30 but always have to leave early due to my early morning paper route. My summer last year sucked job wise but I needed the money to go to college. At the moment, even though I have worked my ass off throughout the summer and have a sales job currently during school (where I am a full time student), I still cannot afford college.
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME I TRULY NEED THIS MONEY!! THANK YOU
I am currently trying to decide between majoring in English teacher education or marketing/ public relations for nonprofit companies. I truly want to help make the world a better place. Some people may be motivated by money, but I am motivated by helping others who are struggling. There are so many problems in the world today ranging from war, to poverty, to global warming, to everyday stress but at the same time there are also so many things to be grateful for that we sometimes lose sight of this fact. Whichever field I chose, my goal is to help people with their struggles so that they realize what makes life worth living and why it is so important to protect each other.
You may call me too idealistic, but rather idealistic than cynical I say.

Shiva won a $3,000 College Scholarship from CollegeNET, Inc.
Hello, I'm a recently accepted Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate student at University of the Pacific in California. My passions include a variety of sports and exercise including general weight lifting, long distance running, snowboarding, baseball, golf, basketball and a variety of others. I am deeply involved in many areas of rehabilitation and hope to be a multi-specialty professional upon graduation in 2009.
My family is involved in attempting to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis society and I hope to become an active supporter as well upon completion of my Doctorate. Please support this excellent charity :)
As for my background... I'm the first in my family to attend a university and receive my bachelors. I have no intention of ending my education any time soon and I believe its important for each generation to set the standards a little higher for each successive generation to come. I was accepted at every university I applied to for my graduate program, including the number one school in the nation for my program, but I accepted at the same school I did my undergraduate work. Every school I applied to had such amazing programs it was probably the most difficult decision in my life. Either way, I eagerly look toward the future with hope and excitement!

Hey there! My name is Jennifer. I'm 25 and I have a 6 year old son whom I love more then anything else in this world (yes that's us in the picture)! I'm a hard working mother. I work full time at a Oncology office as a receptionist. I am also attending college at ECPI College of Technology (I'm taking Web Design)~ night classes (FULL TIME)!
My son is currently in custody of his grandmother (on his dad's side <she's not always very nice to me either>) and I'm trying to get custody back (and I need a better job so I can do that). I'm also divorced!!
I am back at college because, I need to get a good paying job that I enjoy!!!!
I'm over $30,000 in debt!!!!!!
And school will add another $27,000 to it!!
I also have to get major dental work done (I fell when I was younger and messed up my front teeth) and my dental insurance doesn't cover it because (even though I HAVE to get the surgery) they consider it 'cosmetic'. I've gotten the first surgery (my two front teeth are fake <they are like a denture that I can take out>). So, it's been tough these last few years.
I stay very optimistic through all of these issues in my life. Cause I know I have good things coming to me. Good KARMA will come my way soon.
So, PLEASE help me out and vote for me!!
I'll vote 4 u 2!!!!!!!!!!!!
I REALLY NEED THIS! THANX!!!!

Hi,
My name is Allison. I am gonna get back in the game hopefully by December. But for now, I'm just out voting, as I hope you can help me out too... my cat is very ill, please vote for him on http://mornings.ktu.com/pages/contest/cubby_cats/
His bills are higher than the contest reward.
I'd appreciate it!!
I am a returning "adult" student. Starving student at that. I am 39, but look and feel like a 29. I lost my job and that was the turning point in my life when I realized that I needed to go back and finish my education, to fulfill my life long dream of becoming a nurse. So here I am, fulltime at college and no income. They say money doesn't grow on trees but I am hoping for a miracle or at least lotto or a scholarship. I'm originally from Long Island. I currently reside in 'arctic' Minnesota. Actually the winters have not been too bad. The cost of living is cheaper than Long Island and the summers are warm and beautiful. Makes me feel like being home on the Island. If I do happen to win this scholarship, it would be hard to return the money, however, I can give back on a social level, I volunteer and when I do become a nurse, I'd give patients the care that they need and deserve! I will be an operating/surical nurse or and emergency room nurse.

-I'm in my 4th year of a five-year Physician Assistant (PA) Master's Program. My goal as a practicing PA is to treat my patients so that their health isn't something keeping them from living and enjoying their lives.
-My lender has gone under and I haven't been able to get a student loan. If I don't pay off my account by December, I'm going to have to drop out. =(
-I already have $80K in student loans.
-I am the youngest of four and come from a single parent home.
-I am a Resident Assistant and therefore do not pay for room & board.
-I now have to take summer semesters until I graduate, so I don't have the opportunity to work full time and save money anymore.
-I am very grateful for having won this scholarship before and genuinely enjoy discussing various topics with other candidates.
-I wish everyone the best of luck, and study hard! =)

Hi there!
I am an international student striving to become a proficient software engineer. I came to America five years ago. I was born in Quito, Ecuador, but my family lives in Bogota, Colombia. I have tried to make the most out of my experience in America by obtaining and maintaining a 4.0 GPA in engineering 5 years in a row, volunteering, working on research, playing and coaching tennis for my university, among other activities.
I am on the verge of graduating but unfortunately I don't count with the athletic and academic scholarships I've been lucky to be awarded these past few years. This educational career has cost me and my family a lot of effort and money, and the best way I can say thank you to my parents and everyone who has supported me, is by taking on the costs of this last semester on my own.
I really appreciate every single vote I get. It might seem like a small thing, but every vote takes me closer to my dream! Thank you for voting!
Being on CollegeNET has been one of the most educational and fun experiences I've had. Thank you CollegeNET for this great opportunity.

I'm back
I wrongfully thought (and believe me, it was the first time I've ever been wrong) that my first go around would have knocked enough sense into people to have a perfectly functioning world. No worries, I have returned to set everything right with a sense strong sense of logic and a set of non-relegious morals (yes, morality did exisit before the bible). You won't find me begging for votes or whatnot, I'm mainly just here to open minds (including my own). You also won't find me apologizing for my opinions or viewpoints (if you don't believe yourself right, then you shouldn't be talking/posting). If you have problems with sarcasm, you might want to move along to another post. Other than that, sit back and prepare to be enlightened.

After college, I look for a gratifying career as a nurse practitioner as well as raising an appreciative family. I am passionate about achieving graduate school education that allows meaningful contribution to underserved communities. Someday, I also want to encourage my children to pursue happiness through hard work and perseverance, just as how my parents have emphasized in our lives. I anticipate the rewarding experiences to come; furthering my education, developing my knowledge and expanding my role as a nurse. Being part of first year generation to attend college is a difficult yet motivating position to be in. Achieving this is not only a triumph for me, but an accomplishment for my parents.
