Nursing school debt hardship by Ysberica

Nursing school debt hardship by Ysberica - August 2025 Scholarship Essay

I was born in Haiti, a country full of strength and hope, but also face many challenges. I grew up seeing how hard life can be when people don’t have resources, education, or opportunities to continue their careers. Those memories have stayed with me and continue to guide my dreams today.

Now I am a mother to a wonderful son who has autism. He has taught me patience, love, and the importance of speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Every day, I work to support him and help him grow, while also building a better future for both of us.

My goal is to get my bachelor degree in nursing then go for nurse practitioner to help and give help to my community and my country Haiti. I want to create programs and opportunities, provide support, tool and hope for people with autism in my country as not many people from my country is aware of this conditions.

This scholarships would help me continue my studies without the heavy weight of financial stress. It would also bring me closer to my dream of making a difference to my son and for the people of Haiti. My journey has not been easy but my love for my child and my home county gives me the strength to keep going.
