Recommended: Perseverance is key to success

My post-secondary education is very important to me because it will shape who I become in the next 10 years. My family is not the most financially stable and I unfortunately have to try and find a way to pay for college myself. This scholarship would help take away some of the burden of finding a way to pay for it all. I believe that I possess good time management and study habits. I currently have 2 jobs and extracurricular activities that I do outside of school, and I always find time to study and get my work done. I am very responsible and make sure my work is done before anything else. I have always excelled in music. I attribute a lot of my success to my teacher, Brennan Bell, who has been a wonderful music teacher throughout high school …show more content…

After college, I would love to become a high school music teacher. Some long term goals are to go back to college after teaching for awhile and get my doctorate in conducting. I also want to get married and have a nice family. My main priority is my education and to get a secure job that I …show more content…

I also participated in Read Across America from 2014-2016 at Wasson Elementary. I also currently have 2 jobs. I work at T.J. Maxx and at Dunkin Donuts in DuBois. I work at least 4-5 days usually between the 2 jobs and get anywhere between 4-6 hours per shift. I am a section leader in chorus at DuBois Area High School. I help pass music out, and I help anyone if they don't know their parts or if they are having trouble with any of the music. There are a lot of people in chorus, so Mr.Bell can't help everyone all the time. He has taught me a lot about music over the past 4 years and I believe he trusts me to help the underclassmen with anything they are having trouble with. This experience helps me because it gives me chances to teach what I know to my peers around me. Learning piano has definitely been a hardship for me. Trying to learn an instrument is very difficult because of the theory that goes behind it and all the little things like where exactly to place your hands, where to sit on the bench, and how exactly to move your fingers/hands. Along with learning how to play, you have to know how to read music well. I have also had hardships in school. Last year I took pre calculus, and that was probably the most difficult class I had taken up to that point. I rarely understood what we did in class and had to go get help

As I begin my college education, I want to continue doing my best in order to accomplish my goal of becoming a registered nurse. With the scholarship money I can have the peace of mind of solemnly focusing on college. Students who have to work to continue their education have trouble focusing on school and do not have the extra time to study or go to tutoring sessions. In many cases, having to work while attending college usually leads to failing or dropping the class due to extra stress and the idea of income. As well, this scholarship will give me more time to focus on my education and to continue my volunteer work helping the

In total, I work about 32 hours a week and occasionally babysit in the evenings. Why do you feel you are a good candidate to receive this scholarship? I feel I am an exceptional candidate to receive this scholarship because I am dedicated to my sorority, I work hard to earn my own income, and I would be devastated if I could not remain a member because of a financial situation. I am devoted to my studies to earn scholarships to help alleviate some of the student loans I am incurring, but unfortunately those do not go towards greek life. This scholarship would be very appreciated and would not go unnoted.

Both these jobs have taught me so much, things I never gave a thought about until it hit me.

Canadians view education as the key to success in life. Although, the key to a successful life does come with a cost. Students must pay tuition, purchase expensive textbooks, pay an activity fee, and unless they live near a college or university, pay for residence or transportation. Post-secondary education should be free. Post-secondary is government funded, like primary and secondary education in Canada, but it is not free.

I would like to either be working professionally or possibly continuing my education and pursuing a graduate's program. If I were to proceed with my schooling, I would still like to be working professionally after I have completed it. My final goal has always been to stage manage a Broadway production but, I don't have to spend my whole life there. I think I would be fun to travel across America with a tour of a production, or working across the ocean on West End. Also, this is a weird dream, but I would love to work at the Fords Theatre in Washington DC because I'd love to work with such a historic space.

Magic the Gathering has had a big impact on my life. I started playing a few years ago, and to be honest, when I first started playing, I never would have thought I would enjoy it as much as I do today. I constantly create and edit decks, making strategies and thinking of how to make a deck as versatile and strong as possible. No deck is perfect, but with the right strategies you can prevail, much like how life is. When playing the actual game, I enjoy thinking on my feet and coming up with ideas to defeat new opponents.

The main way that this scholarship will assist my academic career at the University of Michigan is by allowing me to be able to take classes during the Spring/Summer terms, which is something I would not be able to afford on my own. Taking classes during the spring and summer will grant me the opportunity to spread out my course load, which will, in turn, help me receive better grades and learn concepts more thoroughly. It also will allow me to spend more time volunteering with different psychology labs and my student organization (Active Minds) during the Spring/Summer term, as well as the Fall and Winter terms of my senior year. With less of a course load in each specific semester, I will be able to allocate the time necessary to fulfill my lab duties, gain work experience, and have experiences that will make me a more well-rounded student without being overworked or feeling too overwhelmed. While classes are my

On February 19, 1998, I was born in New Albany, Mississippi. Three days after I was born, my family moved to Detroit, Michigan, which I think is kind of crazy since you are supposed to stay in the house after you are born. My family means everything and the world to me. I grew up in a typical middle class environment and live with my dad, mom, and 2 sisters in Detroit.

First, it will free up my time by requiring me to work less during the school year but still let me graduate debt free. Secondly, the time that is opened up will let me study more, allowing me to continue to earn straight A’s as I have done in the past. However, this time will not only help me earn straight A’s, it will also let me spend more time to truly learn what I am studying. The new free time will also let me participate in clubs such as the robotics club which will not only augment my learning, but help me prepare for my bachelors degree and spend time with other students who have similar interests as me. It is my goal to eventually earn a leadership position in one of these clubs, this would not be possible without this scholarship.
