Essay 2: The ideal C-STEP candidate is someone with demonstrated academic potential and an income at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The selection process is a holistic one that may also consider factors such as the ability to overcome obstacles, first-generation college status, diversity, employment history, and family responsibilities. Please explain in 500 words or fewer why you believe you would be a good candidate for C-STEP.(You may include: My family moved to North Carolina in 2001, when I was five years old, from our hard life in the Philippines to make a better future. Both my parents graduated with a bachelors in nursing before moving abroad. They inspire me to become a nurse as well because it is such a fulfilling career and I love helping others. Our family is first-generation to come to America and I just want to make my family proud. I have three younger siblings that I look after, two sisters, and a brother, who look up to me and I also want to make them proud. I work full time as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens while going to school. I have also worked as a counselor at the YMCA and Tossed serving salads for a couple years so I have a lot of customer service experience as well. I also love playing basketball and rock climbing at my local gym during my free time, and I\’ve played piano and guitar since I was 12. I am a Christian but I volunteer every month with Islamic Relief USA to feed the homeless in Downtown Raleigh. I was a decent student growing up and lost motivation after high school but ever since I found C-Step, a guaranteed path to UNC Chapel Hill while I uphold a high GPA, I never wanted to work harder for something in my life. Getting into UNC Chapel Hill has always been a dream and it would open up so many opportunities to help others. etc.)
