Bio

My name is Avery Meyerkorth and I am an upcoming senior at Rock Port High School in the north-western tip of Missouri. I am a very social person and love interacting with people, as well as always having something to do. I am a 3-sport athlete, therefore I rarely have free time however, I find joy in working out, being apart of a team, and participating in a good competition. I plan to hopefully major in Hospitality Management, and minor in event coordinating, and am looking for any help I can get to help me both now and in the future.

      John Young 'Pursue Your Passion' Scholarship
      I have chosen Event/Hospitality Management as my field of interest because I feel this occupation is best suited for my personality, accommodates best with the things I like and enjoy doing, as well as requiring skills I am able to sufficiently demonstrate and use to my best ability throughout this career. Some qualities of successful personnel within this profession include having satisfactory organizational skills, being an adequate communicator, always social and friendly with everyone, and capable of creating as well as following a budget. These are just a few of the many important skills that will help you stand out and become successful within this career. All of these qualities I feel I have, and am excited to continue growing these skills by living out this passion of mine. To fulfill this dream, I am pleased to announce I will be furthering my education at Iowa State University and joining their Event Management program. I have high hopes it will be most beneficial for future me, and am looking forward to this opportunity to study here for the next four upcoming years. However, I am in need of help through scholarships considering I am an out of state resident. I feel this is the place for me and will be most helpful for my course of studying. I will work hard for my goals to be accomplished and my professional passion to be achieved, all with the help of this scholarship.
