About Me

Just Beginning the End

Hi y’all! My name is Denali. I am a family-loving, scholarship-applying, future-planning, adventure-going, and chocolate-eating kind of girl. I am like many high school seniors, ready to be done with school forever! But also like many high school students, I love to learn. That is why I am choosing to continue my education through college. I hope to major in nursing and then continue my schooling through becoming a midwife, but in reality, I know that anything and everything can change.

My Story

Once-upon-a-time there was a little girl that loved her family, forest, and Savior. Everything was right in her world, but like every fairy-tale, the girl had her fair share of hiccups. She wanted to become a farmer, a missionary, a mom, a princess, a wildlife ranger, a history teacher, an anything…. except a nurse, that was too normal. The world was undiscovered territory waiting to be conquered and how could she conquer with such a basic job?

Then came a hiccup.

We moved away from my childhood home when my mom became extremely ill. I went to high school and realized that I was incredibly interested with the human body and in serving people, so, I decided to push past my pride and choose nursing for my career and college major.

However, to go to college I would need a bunch of money… and I have none.

Applying to and winning scholarships is my only way to go to an university like I have always hoped I would. As I go on this journey of essay writing and form fillings, I hope to learn from the experts and share what I learn with others along this college journey so that we can conquer together!
