Eva Clark Murray Memorial Scholarship

My name is Raj’a Bue. I am a rising senior at Brunswick High School and I will graduate in 2023. I come from the small town of Brunswick, Georgia. My educational aspirations consist of acquiring a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Education that would assist me in pursuing a career as a Teacher. Academically, I have been working diligently to prepare myself for my future. I believe teachers are given the opportunity to set the foundations of a prosperous future, not only for individual children but for our society as a whole. Although this is a huge responsibility, I also believe that through the education of children, we are able to deliver children the opportunity find a future which they enjoy, and this is a responsibility which is very much worth working towards. Overcoming the hardships involved in working with young people in such a transitional and dynamic time of their lives will be a challenge, but I believe the reward of seeing children flourish is more than worth the effort and dedication required. From a young age, I have been involved in my younger siblings learning and development. I have also taken several Early Childhood Educational classes. I gained a sense of pride and achievement, as I helped them grow in to strong readers and independent thinkers. Having the patience to explain new words, sentences and concepts with clarity to the younger audience has pushed me forward to discover how children develop their mind. My natural ability to connect with children and love of learning are the qualities I have, which I believe make me ideal to embark on an Educational degree. I am keen to further my understanding and knowledge of child development, care, and education. Children should have somebody that believes and supports them to become the person that they aspire to be. Working with children and assisting them in achieving their goals in life is a huge ambition of mine. I enjoy interacting with children on their own level, gaining insight into their perception of the world. In the future, I aim to work with children. I feel the rewards of a professional career in teaching would satisfy the goals I have hoped to achieve for quite a while. I believe that with my enthusiasm, positive attitudes and strong interest Education will give me a firm foundation on which I can build my career, working with children. I can think of no better or more satisfying path to pursue. Receiving acceptance to college will boost my self-confidence, knowing that I not only completed a very important task, but also took the responsibility of creating a foundation for getting me closer to my career goals. I believe in the importance of earning a college degree. Therefore, I plan to work extra hard to obtain a degree in Education.
