Hello hivers and happy new week
Scholarships are popular amongst students as a means to enable them study by giving them grants, allowance, stipend, bursary and so on. Different agencies use this means to raise funds and assist people especially those who cannot afford the tuition fees. Many Nigerian students have gotten the opportunity to earn scholarships to study more abroad as a means to widen their knowledge and add benefits to their community.
In other words, in accordance to the weekly prompt if I had the chance or opportunity to win a scholarship I would prefer to diversify from my language course entirely and study a public health or community related development course. This is so because, as an individual who have had experiences with health related issues and the fact that in my country, Nigeria people suffer a lot because of lack of good health care and amenities. In other words, by studying this particular course it would allow me to give back to my community by expanding my knowledge in areas of health, hygiene, and social care.
Again, the essence of good health of mind and body is one that is underrated because when a person is healthy everything falls into place and it is the foundation of a good nation. Most of the problems in Nigeria and Africa at large stems from poverty which in turn leads to poor education and insecurity, based on research these are connected to poor health and social care. The lack of basic healthcare even to a rural community has brought about deaths and shortage of lifespan.
In view of all that has been said, diversifying in the field of health is based in the fact that I care so much about people's health and doing this course is not all about personal success but the lives I would be impacting with my knowledge. This knowledge would cover various aspects of maternal/child health, nutrition, HIV/AIDS,malaria,epidemiology,health Promotion & Education, teaching people healthy habits and lifestyles, environmental Health etc.
In conclusion, public health is a course I would divert into so as to care for the sick and ensure our nation is safe.
This is my participation in the
