Jamie Anderson Scholarship

Hello my name is Demitryuss Bryant Ii was born and raised in Llorain, Oohio. I never got the chance to live with my mom or dad when I was growing up. I still don't live with them. When I was born, my mom moved to Cleveland and my dad went to prison so I ended up living with my grandma in Llorain. Growing up I loved to play football and basketball with my friends. Money was tight growing up. Now that I'm seventeen years old I appreciate everything I had and everything my grandma buys me. Living in a house full of women really taught me how to express myself and not bottle my emotions up. Before my grandpa died, we were very close, me and my grandpa would work on cars, boats, lawnmowers basically things that men like. It would be so fun. I loved learning about new things and how to take things apart and put them back together. My grandpa died in 2019 due to diabetes. It was hard when he died but I got through it. I'm still going through some mental problems due to my aunt passing away last year due to diabetes too. Diabetes runs heavy through my family. My first year of high school was online due to COVID-19. It was really a bummer as I didn't get the experience of going to high school in person as a freshman. My sophomore year was good. We came back to in person learning but still had to wear masks. I love to help out during the basketball season by running the scoreboard on a couple of games. My first job was in the 10th grade. I started working at Wingstop. I worked at Wingstop for almost 2 years and now I have a new job at. I just quit about 3 months ago to work at Main Event . One of my goals is to own my own mechanic shop. I love to use my hands and build stuff. My dream is to go to college for engineering, get my masters degree and become a mechanical engineer. I also have an interest in programming apps and computers. I love to code on my computer using coding.com. I am a very chill and open minded person. I don't like to get into drama. I stay in my own lane and get my work done. In middle school I hated coming to school. Now I love it. I'm eager to learn now. College is the best option for me. Neither my mom or dad went to college. I want to be the first. I want to get the full experience of living on a college campus going to frat parties and everything. . I really want to get out of my own town Lorain, Ohio. I've been living here my whole life time for something to change for the better. I know I have to go to college right after high school or I probably won't go. Thats why im hoping i can get accepted to your college growing up i always said after high school I i'm done Ii was just going to get a trade. I never wanted to go to college, especially right after high school for 4 more years. Now I'm craving it. I can't wait to get the college experience. I'm an independent person. I love being independent. I want to experience living without my family. Going to get food whenever I want, not asking to leave my house.
