Between them and my parents I learned at an early age that I have the ability to succeed in whatever I choose to do in life no matter what it may be.

From the young age of 6 I’ve been a bookworm, any book I saw I wanted to know what it was about. By the time I left 5th grade I could say I easily …show more content…

Coming into high school I was all over the place from day one, but I always kept focused on the main goal; gain and spread knowledge. I remember every IGP meeting I ever had and all of them were different, I would come in every time with a different idea of what my calling was. Now that it’s my senior year and I’ve been blessed enough with the opportunity to become a Teacher Cadet I can now say with confidence what I’m meant to do. After that everything has just fallen into place from getting accepted into the best school for education in the state to being able to participate in this scholarship. The University I plan to attend in the fall is going to cost roughly $30,000 and although I’ve never had to struggle for the necessities $30k is a large amount for my family. I will be majoring in education, I haven’t figured out what grade level I’d like to teach yet but I’m leaning towards high school at the moment. I have had a close relationship with almost every teacher I’ve had and they have all been people I not only admire for their personal teaching styles but for the things they accomplish in a short 180

Scholarship is a student's accomplishment in the classroom. It is the motivation to pursue higher-level information acquisition. My actions are guided by this inner urge to reach my ultimate objective. It is this push, which I think of as self-discipline or a powerful motivation, that continues urging me to continue on the path until I make the goal I have set out to do.

I have always been and forever will be in love with reading. I realized this when I was in fourth grade with my teacher Mrs. Gokey. She had light brown curly hair with a few blonde strands here or there up to her shoulders, stood almost 6 feet tall, and had the gentlest hazel eyes a person could have. Mrs. Gokey would read us books every Friday as a sort of treat for getting through the week. One of her first reads was the book "Mick Harte Was Here".

We could talk for hours about the books we read, and even had contests surrounding books. But the other people in our class didn’t understand at all how we could like books so much, especially books about magic and other worlds, stuff that our school was strongly against, to the point of banning them. So people thought we were pretty weird. Luckily, we had each other to be weird with, plus, the characters in our stories. As I grew older, I realized that I wasn’t special for feeling like that.
