My grandpa once told me, “if you can not find your life’s purpose then find your passion. For the passion you sought will reveal your purpose.” His inspirational words still linger with me till this day and I have always found myself living the life he wanted me to. It wasn’t until I went on my job shadowing experience, however, that I realized I found the passion he spoke of. I have never thought of myself as being a teacher. As a student for so long, I believed teaching was the last thing I wanted to do. However, in the last year I have seen teaching in a new light. Throughout my high school career, I have had wonderful teachers to aspire me to excel within my studies, and have made an impact on my life goals. It wasn’t till my job shadowing experience that I truly made up my mind teaching was for me. One of my teachers encouraged me to job shadow an elementary class and see if I would find my calling in teaching. Within the first moments of my experience I fell in love. Winning this scholarship would mean the world to me and my family. Since I will be attending college for six years the amount of tuition will add up in a heart beat. My goal is to attend Elizabethtown Community and Technical College for my first two years for my Associates in Arts. Once finished I plan to transfer to Eastern Kentucky University to finish my Bachelor's Degree and to complete a Masters in History. Obtaining this scholarship would allow me to be one step closer to the future that is so close to my heart. It would make me able to excel in furthering my education a reality. This scholarship will mean I can make a difference in a child’s life through education as well as inspire me to educate the next generation. ... ... middle of paper ... ... as hosting runs and selling jewelry. Also by being the President of my NHS chapter, I do a lot of community service. One volunteer project NHS sponsored was a can food drive for a local homeless shelter. We were able to raise over 200 cans in order to help families have a Thanksgiving Day meal at Bethany Haven. I was inspired with the other member, decided to visit the shelter later on in the year to help with landscaping and other needs. In conclusion, I believe I deserve this scholarship because I have the willingness to succeed and make a contribution to the world. I hope to one day become the teacher I want to be and to help educate the next generation. I throughout my high school years have shown great academics, leadership, and community service. These qualities I believe are needed to be successful through discipline and commitment of a student.

    I am applying for this scholarship to help me pay for college. As everyone knows it is very expensive and sometimes hard to pay for all the things involved. My family is doing everything they can to help pay for my college. One of the biggest obstacles we have faced is applying for the FAFSA. My parents do make a lot of money, but they both have student loans they have to pay. My mom has two majors so she has a lot of money to pay back to school. While applying to FAFSA, these factors are not taken into consideration so we did not get as much money as we had hoped. If I am selected to win this scholarship, it would be greatly appreciated and would help me in many ways to continue my education.

  • My Teaching Philosophy Statement

    As an education major at State College, I’ve decided to become a teacher for several reasons. As I progressed through elementary, middle, and high school, many of my teachers were great role models for me. This has inspired me to become a role model for someone in the near future. My love for science and math has also influenced my desire to teach and make a difference in a child’s life. I want to teach students the subjects that I love so much. I want the feeling that I helped a child accomplish or learn something they couldn’t understand. One of the main reasons I want to become an educator is because I feel education has really lost teachers who truly love teaching and those who truly love teaching and those who have the desire to make a difference. I feel I can really help make a difference in the education world and bring back the love to teach.

    A teacher is not what I have always wanted to be. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until I had taken several of my general studies classes that I made a commitment to teach. Having played football through middle school and high school, I just assumed that whatever I did would have to be related to football. It was, however, during a time of reflection that I thought about a former football coach and the rapport that he had with me and other players. He wanted to bring out the best in each of us. It was then that I realized that I wanted to do the same.

    I have not always wanted to be a teacher. I always knew that I wanted to work with children in some way, but I was pretty sure that teaching was not for me. I was well on my way in my junior year of college working toward a biology degree so that I could become a pediatric physician’s assistant. I still cannot explain what happened, but one week I was a biology major, and the next I knew that I have always been meant to teach children. I suppose I just took the longer route to get there than most people do. The two main reasons that I have chosen to become a teacher is that I believe that teaching is extremely personally rewarding in many ways and the fact that I can actively make a difference in someone’s life.
