I remember the pain of holding my breath every time my mom drove past a car with blue and red lights. The silence in the car as my mom held on to the steering wheel with white knuckles. It\u2019s fresh in my mind the way the stress and anxiety were constant feelings, just as the fear of becoming an orphan was. My mother has never even gotten a speeding ticket, but I felt helpless to do anything if the cop decided to stop my mother for some reason and ask her for her immigration status. 

Every single time my mom picked me up late from school, I was held in terrifying suspense with every second that passed. The administration at my elementary school didn\u2019t notice I cried in silence thinking of the worst\u2014ICE had gotten my mom. I was smaller than two digits, and I knew that immigrants are quiet, trying to stay in the shadows in order to live peacefully and have a better life. We didn\u2019t want to leave our home country, with all my toys and familiar roads, but we sacrificed everything in order to have a chance. I couldn\u2019t wrap my mind around how easy it seemed for ICE agents to hunt down people like prey. Now, with the urgent situation happening in the USA, I am older, and I feel like I can at least do something.

I want to give a chance to students who do not feel safe going to school in the USA. No child should have to learn with fear. Therefore, I am making a scholarship at the school I graduated from. When I mentioned my intentions to the administration, they contributed to the purpose. To give as many scholarships as possible, we are opening it to 20 students. 

20 students will get a $1,000 scholarship at Academia Conari, a boutique academy with a remote personalized educational program where students are able to learn wherever they are in the comfort of home.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Waving Flag scholarship is not a cash prize. It is an educational scholarship that helps students of immigrant families with a total of $1,000 USD for a full academic year (11 months) as a student in Academia Conari. The $1,000 will be discounted equally through each of the 11 monthly tuition payments for a total of a full school year. If the student wins the scholarship, they are meant to accept and enroll in the academy within two weeks. If the student leaves Academia Conari before the 11 months are complete, the rest of the $1,000 prize is not going to be reimbursed to them. It will then be saved for another scholarship winner to finance their education at Conari.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
