Learner Higher Education Scholarship
Higher education is important to me because I believe gaining further education from high school not only shapes your personality but gives you further insight on a career you could potentially go into.
Attending another school after high school to pursue my major in biology not only gives me useful information and learning tactics but I will also gain experience in that field of expertise to help my future career.
Dog Owner Scholarship
I've always had a dog my entire life but when I started to get older, I wanted a dog to just call mine. At 13 years old I rescued my dog (Gypsy) from an animal shelter. She came from an abusive owner, and it took many months to not only heal her physically but mentally she was hurt as well. Gypsy has been a part of my life for almost 6 years, and we have been through everything together. She is the happiest doggo I've ever met, she lights up my life and I couldn't do it without her. Now that it's time to go to college I couldn't imagine not bringing her along for my journey. In a few months we will be going to college together and taking on the world one paw at a time.
Science Fiction Becomes Science Fact Scholarship
The quote relates to me because I feel as if I'm living in a world where we live and communicate online. Most social interactions are done online such as playing games, classes, church, and many other things. Online interactions where a big thing before COVID-19 but now it's gone to a new extreme.
inconclusion, I believe online interaction has become a new normal for everyone and I only see it becoming typical thing, so much so that the next few generations won't think anything of online interactions. We are slowing are gaining a new normal.
