As we know, Taylor Swift's 1989 album has to be one of the best ones she ever made, however which song out of the album is the best? I'd have to say it would have to be "Shake it off". Not only is the song soo good for its upbeat catchy music and also a party/dance song, but also a good message about standing up to the haters and shaking off and ignoring their bad influence. In addition to the fact that it is also sending a message to be yourself and do what makes you happy in the world. Shake it off has to be my favorite song in the album because of how inspirational it is to me and how it was a key memory of my childhood that I wouldn't nor couldn't ever forget. The song itself brings joy to me and sets an example to give me hope so that I can ignore those haters in the world because everyone's going to judge, and you can't please everyone in the world by changing for them because it will never be enough. Even then you shouldn't have to be someone different from someone else, you should do what makes you happy and ignore the haters. I'd say let them haters hate! Even when I was a child I remembered when my family and I would be on the car ride home from an outing event and my aunt would put on the song Shake it off and then we would sing all be singing it. Those were very important memory that I cherish in my heart because as I'm mostly grown up now and will be eventually going to college within the next year, I haven't been able to make any memories like that anymore because of how busy I am. It's not just the one song that can create a memory it's the people in it, including everything else around the people in the memory. Throughout my whole entire childhood and even up until now, Taylor Swift's music has always been there, even now with her music. Nonetheless, it's not just her music that brings me joy and inspiration, it's her as a person. How she stands up for what she believes is right and supports the LGTBQ, and has visited sick children from the St Jude Research Children's Hospital and more. What makes her music so good is the feeling, the emotion, and how amazing of a person she is herself. She is amazing and the messages that she brings out in her music are even more of what makes it amazing. Shake it off is my favorite song from the 1989 album because of the inspiration, memory, and goodness it has brought me for my entire childhood, and up until now. Taylor Swift's music has forever changed me as a person. To become the person I've always wanted to be, myself.

My dream is to start a local business where I grow different fruits and vegetables for my local community. Once I go to college, get my double major in finance and marketing, and start my career path, I would like to start a business with cheap foods for others and give to the homeless. This business would promote growing plants and veggies in others' gardens as well as helping the environment and the economy by helping stop inflation and giving to those in need, making a positive impact on the world. My desire to start the business came from my love of plants and nature so in the process of planning for my future, I came up with the idea of using my love for plants to help others. Ever since I was little, my grandma had always had a green thumb and she loved to share that love with my two brothers and me. My grandma was one of the biggest reasons why I love plants the way I do. I've been wanting and have helped the world for as long as I can remember because of my grandma. I've always made sure to help the world whenever I can and being in Girl Scouts helped me use my skills learned then to help the environment now and will continue to in the future. Honestly, the world can't heal itself from the damage that we humans have made to it. Additionally, my love for helping the planet and the economy, as we humans grow the earth's habitat is getting worse and worse and my goal would be to make this business so that I can help the earth and make it a better place. And once I get to the top of that mountain and finally reach my goal I will put my message that says "Once actions are done they cannot be undone, it is only one who can make the pathway of development for the greater good." Not only does this message contributes to many other things but this message that I created not only talks about one person making a difference to help the world but also the world making a difference to itself by time moving on and the earth changing. For example, let's say you leave a highway alone for 100 or so years. No one walks, drives, or even touches it, over the course of time the trees and all of the plants will eventually come together across that highway. The point is, is that the world is constantly trying to repair itself and all we have to do is put in the effort and help it. If everyone could put effort into the earth we could fix all the problems that we created and find new ways to live in a safe environment and protect what we have left in it. Who knows maybe we could make a big enough impact to bring extinct animals back. Nonetheless, we are the only ones who can a difference and I will be one of those people to help the earth no matter what because my earth matters to me because it's the only home I know I have and I have to protect it the best I can.

My plan when I create the business is to grow as many fruit and vegetables as I can making it a beautiful scenery when people come by to buy food. All of the fruits and veggies will be naturally grown no pesticides will be used only natural bug prevention and all will be organic. My mission will be to make sure that these organic fruits will be cheaper than regular store-bought groceries. When there are fruit and veggies are have not been sold and are still perfectly good they will be donated/given to the homeless. Finally, this business would promote and benefit my community by encouraging people to plant, plants and help our earth and the people in it. The preparation plan for starting this business would be to start around 25 at the latest 30 to give time once I have started a job from getting out of college to give time to build money. This business would not only help the people in the world but would allow an impact on repairing the earth. This scholarship would do so much for me to help me, my community, and the world, and allow me to put my business degrees to good use. I want to help others as they have helped me and make a difference and an impact in the world, for everyone.

Throughout most of my life, there was one important thing that my mom always made sure to teach me. And that was to make sure that I always knew how to help others and make a difference in the world to be myself. As I've grown up and am about to be an adult I've realized how important it is to help others with the way this world is and has become. The people who do stand up and give back to others are the important people in the world we need. Thankfully I grew up with a mom who always pushed me to be that person to help others and to always think outside the box. Honestly, without the experiences that I have had within being involved in the community, I don't think I would fully be the person that I am now. Volunteering and helping out with the community for different things has helped me be more aware of other peoples living situations in the world. Including teaching me to be more considerate of others and many other good life skill lessons I've learned and I continuously use now and will use until the day that I die. To me, being in Girl Scouts was one of the most important things that allowed me to grow, and not only did we just do gestures for others in Girl Scouts but we learned about many other things as well. Being in Girl Scouts as well is fun and it feels good to give back to others and see them be happy about it. I enjoyed giving back just like I did from being in 4-H. In each of these organizations I've learned loads about the world and growing up being surrounded by the influence of these, has made me who I am. I will make sure that whatever point I am in my career in the near future I will make an effort to give back to those in need. Not only did I make it then and now but I will also make an effort to help others in my future. My plan for my future is to get a double major in Finance and Marketing within a 4-year time span. I would either go to ODU straight out the gate or go to Richard Bland and then ODU, depending on financial status. With my double major I plan to start my business career and once I have enough money I would like to open a business selling fruit and veggies that are organic and very cheap to others. Additionally, I would use all of the unbought fruits and veggies to give to homeless people so they wouldn't go to waste. This scholarship would not only help me and further my education but it would help others as well in the future.

Hi! I'm Brooke, I am a high school senior and go to New Kent High School in VA. I love the beach, staying in shape, going on adventures, the outdoors like hiking and biking, trying new things, and spending time with my friends. Some activities that I enjoy doing for fun are running, being crafty and making/selling jewelry, and fashion shows. Throughout high school and middle school, some of the activities I've done are Girl Scouts, fashion club, choir, babysitting, petsitting, and being a 4-H volunteer counselor, including training with it, and trying out for cheer many times. I also have an online certification for Cpr and babysitting. Now coming up, in my senior year I am hoping to plan to do track, beta, spirit club, and FCA (Fellow Christians Athletes ) including taking 3 college classes in high school this coming senior year, giving me some better college preparation. My Goal for when I go to college is to either go to Richard Bland and then transfer to ODU or just go to ODU (Old Dominion University) depending on how many scholarships I eventually get. When I go to college, I want to get a double major in Finance and Marketing, hopefully achieving it in 4 years. With that, I hope to help the world and set a goal by making better financial choices and maybe even start my own business one day for fruits, plants, and cheap organic foods to help people around the world. Not only would I be helping the community and the economy as a whole to help inflation and help prices go down to be more affordable with my side business in the future. My degree would contribute to many different things in the math field including taking analysis, pricing strategies, risk management, profits, budgeting, and more. When I get both of my degrees I will eventually make a huge impact within the company I am working for and the economy itself. I personally would like to work in specific areas of the business to help contribute to and regulate the spending of the business that could benefit by spending more wisely and creating more opportunities for expansion. I personally plan to work for a company that gives back to others. My contribution to the business world won't just help me but others and by being in this area of study I would be constantly contributing to the field of math every day because my job would basically revolve around it.

I want to use my passion for growing plants and using nature to help the environment by planting more trees and filling people's bellies in the world with delicious fruit. When I get my Master's degree and start my career I will do it to help the people in the world. This scholarship won't only help me focus on school or just buy a book for it but, it will help me make a difference in the world by doing my part to fix it and help all people in it by creating a financially stable place for people to buy more affordable groceries when they are hungry. Giving back to others is the best thing that I know I can do. I use this in my everyday life to try and make others happy because you never know when someone is having a bad day. I've done also for my community while being in Girl Scouts and in 4-H as a counselor and will continue to do so. Being in both of those things and helping out churches have grown to help me become the person I am. This has impacted me by not only wanting to make the world a better place but also influencing me always to want to put those before myself and show support to others around me. This scholarship would do so much for me to help me, my community, and the world, and allow me to put my business degrees to good use.

Wanting to help people is why I choose to be in the business field.

This has impacted me by not only wanting to make the world a better place but also influencing me always to want to put those before myself and show support to others around me. Not only will this business that I start have any benefits to the world, the reason that this business would be more successful than any other business is the fact that it doesn't require a lot to start, just nature itself is all that is needed. Even if the business itself isn't successful in selling it would still be having an impact by helping the community and giving the unsold fruit to those who are in need. When I look into the future I see my business flourishing and making the impact on the world as I thought it would.

When I look into the future in 15 years and see myself, I see a nice, kind and hardworking mother who works in marketing/finance and has a side business of her own growing cheap fruits for others and giving back to her community with that side business and more as much as she can.

If you think about it, math is used in every single area of society today. People use math all the time, such as when they go to the grocery store to buy something, put gas in their car, their speed limit, the balance in their bank account, science studies, build different things, cooking, calendars, etc. The point is, math is used all around us and it is important to have since it is needed in everyday life. Without math, society wouldn't have the advancements that it has now. The reason I like math is because of the process and the way one thing builds up to another to lead to a final answer. I like the idea of having to find out the answer myself and figure everything out. I also enjoy planning out what I have to do to solve an equation. Additionally, when a question is asked for math, it's typically a clear question, and it's more of just remembering what you learned once it is asked. A good thing about this is that I am good at problem-solving with my thinking ahead. Oddly for me, when I first start learning new parts of math, I don't really understand it and I'm a bit slow to learn it, but I like it a lot. Even when I was having trouble I still wanted to learn. During covid-19 when the schools were out and I was a high school freshman, I was the only one doing my work out of the whole class. By the end of the first half of class, more than half of my class was moved to a year-long class. Then after that, there were only about 15 people left in the virtual class. Once exams came along, I was the only one to do the final exam when the class was finished. I felt so good that it boosted my grade so much! Even though I've had my good and bad experiences with math, I have always had a passion for math even to the point where I wanted my future career to have math within it because I love dealing with numbers so much! I'm planning to hopefully get a double major in planning between Finance, Accounting, and Marketing so math will always be with me. I love math because of the importance and the fun that it gives me!

Not only is Earth wonderous but also a curious and fascinating place with many unknown mysteries, many of those mysteries might come from the one thing that surrounds it, the universe. The universe is the one thing that scientists don't know about because it's always expanding leading to the little use of information. The nature of the universe is always a good thing to understand because of its life that is created, life is what created Earth, and the growth of life comes from something in the universe. However, unless religion is the answer you need. The universe is a very important thing to understand and know how because it could improve many things in the scientific world and could be able to contain the knowledge to pretty much do anything. Not only would it be the key to unlocking most of our answers in the world but it would change the human economy itself and how we are as a society now the only question is whether will it go good or bad. The impact of knowing what the universe holds could change everything and everyone The benefits that this could have on our human civilization and our planet could change everything and repair what has been damaged on our earth. We could benefit by moving our civilization from a type one to a three. A type three civilization is a civilization in which they are using power from a galaxy they have control over. Meaning that once we discover how the galaxy works, we no longer have to take power from the Earth and can continuously get power from an endless source. Not to mention the advancement that this could hold for the medical field allowing improvement in treating cancer, genetic diseases, deformities, and the life span of humans. The mathematical improvements could help with technology or even with advancement to travel to other planets and could find and make a living on other planets. We could learn how to create nature and living things it's self may even learn how to prevent mutations within animals, create animals of our own, and bring extinct ones back to life! Other than the fact of the improvements that this could have on human society it also could help us better understand the religious aspects and could also mean that it goes beyond the universe. Not only would this change everything but it could be the start of a whole new era in time when and if we find out how the universe works. In reality, when this does become found the possibility are endless as to what we can do with the knowledge that we would have once it is found.

Oddy enough throughout the time that I have been a Hogwarts fan, I have never actually ended up taking the quiz to find out until now. Once I was done with the quiz and got the result I was shocked at what I found and how it was related to me so much. How could it honestly be that a computer can find more about me from a random set of questions without knowing me at all? At the end of the quiz, I ended up being sorted to the Griffindor which was not what I was expecting at all. I was sorted into the section for the reasoning of being bold, passionate, and brave with a sense of right and wrong and being able to speak my mind, including fighting for what I want. I was shocked at the result because everything that was listened to exactly described traits of who I am. However, the test results aren't the only ones that make me compatible for a house to be put in it's me as a whole person. And I believe that being in that house would be the best for me because of my personality and how I react to others. I as a person want to help others and go above and beyond and do things for the right reason and if breaking a rule to do something good, then it is for the right reasons. Being different from others and standing up for what is right to make the world a better place is the right thing. I want to be that person to make a difference for others and be the change not just in the community but worldwide. It's important to be the person in the world to make that change because without those people our world would start crumbling even faster than it already is. Having the courage to stand up and being passionate about making a difference is what makes me a perfect fit for this house. I was chosen to be in the Gryffindor house for a reason, to make a difference, just like Harry Potter made a difference by doing what he knew was right and fighting against evil. Even by breaking into the Gringotts vault because he wanted to do the right thing by stopping Voldemort and the evil magic along with it. Just like him, I would like to do the same as well and help others in the world by doing good. I was sorted into Gryffindor because of who I am as a person and what I represent. I represent being passionate about doing the right thing, brave, and being a difference in the world and that is what I'll do.

Books are a wonderful thing, filling your mind with endless possibilities and emotions, but what makes a good book? Book is a very important thing within human society, not only does it expand the learnings of humans but it also allows the brain to run free and have an imagination and enjoyment. These are all three significant things to have within human development and help one find themselves within what categories of reading they find to their appealing. My personal experience from reading the many books that I have read on my own is that they have most definitely helped me as a person. I've learned so many things about many different subject areas of life and even random strange facts I have never known of while reading books. As I have been in school I have even come to use the knowledge from what I have learned, I would have never been able to use it if I didn't have the love for books as I do. When I read, I feel like I'm in a whole other world and when I'm reading, I'm actually a part of the book. The person that I read about in the book eventually it becomes me too and the emotion that comes along, I experience that too along the journey that has taken place. I feel that reading is a part of who I am, it has personally come to be a comfort for me when I need it. It has helped me along the way to find the different things in life that I enjoy such as romantic novels. The one thing that I can sure say, is that I have learned that a book always gives you hope and the one thing that there will always be in a book is conflict. Just like in books, in life, there are conflicts, a plan that was made and it didn't go as planned. However, the conflict is always overcome in the end. And that was one thing the reading books has taught me, to expect the unexpected. My goal is to live by just going with the flow so that when the unexpected shows up to me by that time I'll be ready for it. From the time I started reading books when I was little, they have had an impact on me and have shaped me into who I am now.

Many qualities make a leader but what makes a person capable of leadership? Anyone could be in a position for a job, play the part, and do the bare minimum but a true leader is someone who goes above and beyond in the world for others. They don't just sit around and wait for someone to tell them to do something, they go and find something to do for others, not for themselves. True leadership put others before themselves and constantly tries to make the world a better place. You don't have to have a perfect GPA or a full-on list of how many activities or extracurriculars you did in high school, or a set personality to fit the definition of "leadership". Being a leader means standing up for what you believe is right and doing the right thing. Being a person in leadership means taking risks, helping others, listening and even learning from others, and doing all of what you can for the right reasons. There doesn't need to be a "set" personality with someone who shows leadership but shown with one's actions with others and in their everyday life. It is not important because you're going something different than everyone else, it's important because you making a change in the world. Not a bad change but a good one. If everyone was a true leader and put others before themselves and doing good for our earth, our community would be so much better than what it is now. Our world would do so much better and would be better within the ecosystem. My dream is to start a local business where I grow different fruits and vegetables for my local community. Once I go to college and get my double major in finance and marketing and start my career path, I would like to start a business with cheap foods for others and give to the homeless. This business would promote growing plants and veggies in others' gardens as well as helping the environment and the economy by helping stop inflation and giving to those in need. I truly do believe that the impact I can make on the world would be for the right reasons and what makes me have leadership, is that I do go above and beyond for others. Leadership means to me that you listen and learn from others and stand up and above others. This scholarship would not only help me in my education but it will help others too for when I open my business in the future.

As it is the greatest book in the world and even the greatest movie series it has to be The Hunger Games. The reason this is the greatest book ever is because it has everything! It has mystery, action, romance, sadness, and drama, it's like an all-in-one book! This book is about people from different districts (districts are for poor people from different areas) to come to an enclosed arena to fight each other to the death. There are two contributors chosen from each district to fight, a boy and a girl, while the rich people watch for entertainment. The drama in this book comes from two people, lovers, from District 12 who stand up and make a difference and outsmart the Hunger Games and become famous for it. Unlucky for them the president doesn't like that very much, causing trouble for both of them along their journey. This book could fit all of the categories someone would want to have in a book (except for not being fiction) One of my favorite reasons for this being my favorite book is Catherine Everdeen. I love how she has such a strong personality and is a woman, she is a leader who put others before herself, kind caring, and selfless. She gave her life for her mom and her sister and had no thought about it twice if there was an award for being the most selfless person it would be her. If I were to suggest a book for everyone to read it would be this one, not because of the drama or the fiction but because it shows a perfect example of what a good person would do in a hard time and in the end got what she always wanted for fighting for what's right.

My dream/plan for my future is to start a local business where I grow different fruits and vegetables for my local community as well as being a financial manager. Once I go to college and get my double major in finance and marketing and start my career path, I would like to start a business with cheap foods for others and give to the homeless. This business would promote growing plants and veggies in others' gardens as well as helping the environment and the economy by helping stop inflation and giving to those in need. My desire to start the business came from my love of plants and nature so in the process of planning for my future, I came up with the idea of using my love for plants to help others. Ever since I was little, my grandma had always had a green thumb and she loved to share that love with my two brothers and I. My grandma was one of the biggest reasons why I love plants the way I do. Additionally, my love for helping the planet and the economy, as we humans grow the earth's habitat is getting worse and worse and my goal is to make this business so that I can help the earth and make it a better place. My plan when I create the business is to grow as many fruit and vegetables as I can making it a beautiful scenery when people come by to buy food. All of the fruits and veggies will be naturally grown no pesticides will be used only natural bug prevention and all will be organic. My mission will be to make sure that these organic fruits will be cheaper than regular store-bought groceries. When there are fruit and veggies are have not been sold and are still perfectly good they will be donated/given to the homeless. Finally, this business would promote and benefit my community by encouraging people to plant, plants and help our earth. The preparation plan for starting this business would be to start around 25 at the latest 30 to give time once I have started a job from getting out of college to give time to build money. This scholarship would do so much for me to help me, my community, and the world, and allow me to put my business degrees to good use. I want to help others as they have helped me and make a difference in the world, for everyone and this scholarship won't only benefit me but others as well and our earth.

There are many qualities that make a leader but what actually makes a true leader? Anyone could be in a position for a job, play the part, and do the bare minimum but a true leader is someone who goes above and beyond in the world for others. They don't just sit around and wait for someone to tell them to do something, they go and find something to do for others, not for themselves. True leaders put others before themselves and constantly try to make the world a better place. You don't have to have a perfect GPA or a full-on list of how many activities or extracurriculars you did in high school, or a set personality to fit the definition of a "leader". Being a leader means standing up for what you believe is right and doing the right thing. Being a leader means taking risks, helping others, and doing all of what you can all for the right reasons. I could list all of the things that I have done for the community like scouts or being a 4-H counselor, but that's beside the point because none of them could actually prove me being fit or just being a true leader. I believe what makes me a leader is my actions and what I do on a daily basis. I believe in standing up for what's right with reason, and in helping others, there is good in everyone, I believe that I could be that change in the world to help the community. My dream is to start a local business where I grow different fruits and vegetables for my local community. Once I go to college and get my double major in finance and marketing and start my career path, I would like to start a business with cheap foods for others and give to the homeless. This business would promote growing plants and veggies in others' gardens as well as helping the environment and the economy by helping stop inflation and giving to those in need. I truly do believe that the impact I can make on the world would be for the right reasons and what makes me a true leader is that I do go above and beyond for others. This scholarship would not only help me in my education but it will help others too for when I open my business in the future.

As we know, Taylor Swift's 1989 album has to be one of the best ones she ever made, however which song out of the album is the best? I'd have to say it would have to be "Shake it off". Not only is the song soo good for its upbeat catchy music and also a party/dance song, but also a good message about standing up to the haters and shaking off and ignoring their bad influence. In addition to the fact that it is also sending a message to be yourself and do what makes you happy in the world. Shake it off has to be my favorite song in the album because of how inspirational it is to me and how it was a key memory of my childhood that I wouldn't nor couldn't ever forget. The song itself brings joy to me and sets an example to give me hope so that I can ignore those haters in the world because everyone's going to judge, and you can't please everyone in the world by changing for them because it will never be enough. Even then you shouldn't have to be someone different from someone else, you should do what makes you happy and ignore the haters. I'd say let them haters hate! Even when I was a child I remembered when my family and I would be on the car ride home from an outing event and my aunt would put on the song Shake it off and then we would sing all be singing it. Those were very important memory that I cherish in my heart because as I'm mostly grown up now and will be eventually going to college within the next year, I haven't been able to make any memories like that anymore because of how busy I am. It's not just the one song that can create a memory it's the people in it, including everything else around the people in the memory. Throughout my whole entire childhood and even up until now, Taylor Swift's music has always been there, even now with her music. Nonetheless, it's not just her music that brings me joy and inspiration, it's her as a person. How she stands up for what she believes is right and supports the LGTBQ, and has visited sick children from the St Jude Research Children's Hospital and more. What makes her music so good is the feeling, the emotion, and how amazing of a person she is herself. She is amazing and the messages that she brings out in her music are even more of what makes it amazing. Shake it off is my favorite song from the 1989 album because of the inspiration, memory, and goodness it has brought me for my entire childhood, and up until now. Taylor Swift's music has forever changed me as a person. To become the person I've always wanted to be, myself.

If you think about it, math is used in every single area of society today. Every single day, humans use math. People use math all the time, such as when they go to the grocery store to buy something, putting gas in their car, their speed limit, the balance in their bank account, science studies, building different things, cooking, calendars, etc. The point is, math is used all around us and it is important to have since it is needed in everyday life. Without math, society wouldn't have the advancements that it has now. The reason I like math is because of the process and the way one thing builds up to another to lead to a final answer. I like the problem-solving that comes with it, and when patterns that are needed to solve an equation or a formula. I like the idea of having to find out the answer myself and figure everything out. I also enjoy planning out what I have to do to solve an equation. Additionally, when a question is asked for math, it's typically a clear question, and it's more of just remembering what you learned once it is asked. A good thing about this is that I am good at problem-solving with my thinking ahead. Oddly for me, when I first start learning new parts of math, I don't really understand it and I'm a bit slow to learn it, but I like it a lot. Even when I was having trouble I still wanted to learn. During covid-19 when the schools were out and I was a high school freshman, I was the only one doing my work out of the whole class. By the end of the first half of class, more than half of my class was moved to a year-long class. Then after that, there were only about 15 people left in the virtual class. Once exams came along, I was the only one to do the final exam when the class was finished. I felt so good that it boosted my grade so much. Later on during my high school years, when I had to take geometry and had the same teacher, and wasn't doing so great. My math teacher said to me one time "What happened to you from freshmen year?" My grade wasn't bad or anything, it was just that I wasn't as good with math as I was in my freshmen year. Even though I've had my good and bad experiences with math, I have always had a passion for math even to the point where I wanted my future career to have math within it because I love dealing with numbers so much! I'm planning to hopefully get a double major in planning between Finance, Accounting, and Marketing so math will always be with me. I love math because of the importance and the fun that it gives to me within problem-solving and the happiness it will give me!

Music is a wondrous thing in the world, it hasn't been created by anyone, it's just always been there. From the beginning, when the world was created, the first music came from the beauty of nature that created the world, from the birds chirping, to the crickets cricking, and bees buzzing. Aside from all of that music plays an important role in cultures, society, recovery, memory, emotion, and nature. Without music, the world would be totally empty without all of the benefits it provides to human society and many things wouldn't have been accomplished over time if music never existed. It would have even changed history and Beethoven would have never been as famous as he was if it weren't for music and even in cultural for rituals that have been done. Music has impacted me a lot not just at one point in time in my life, but my whole life, and it has been an outlet within listening and singing (In school choir) mostly in my past and even now too. When I was younger I didn't have the greatest childhood up until I was 6 when I was adopted from being in foster care and some of my core memory came from music. I remember when I was with one of my foster families, there were two parents and two children, a younger boy and an older girl my age who were already there (biological to the parents). One day we all went on a road trip with one of the cousins who came along with us and we went to get highlights in our hair, later on, that day she randomly decided she wanted to pull them out of my hair, out of spite. I remember waiting in the car, crying, as we were dropping her off at her house and the song playing in the car was Springsteen by Eric Church. The point being music has always been there for me whenever I needed it during rough times and it doesn't just shape how I see the world, it's how I see everything in the world. Music helps me stay calm, in control, and staying on track. Music is a way people can express their feelings and hearing the different types of music and all of the different things that people say in their music makes me feel like I know the person. The emotion that is expressed in the music helps me see the world in a better by the emotions that are being expressed in music. I don't know if am considered a Musician or not, I've been in high school choir and have played the baritone before but, I do know that music is an important thing to me. It has helped me threw a lot and continues to help me as a person grow and helps me see society In a better way and it has shaped me to become a better person not only to myself but to others and the world and my community.

As it is, The best TV company, Disney itself does not only provide the world with entertainment but proves to show compassion and caring and helping within society. They go above and beyond in just making TV Shows/Movies with each one with a heartwarming ending but also try to make the world a better place and strive to help the economy by donating books, or even donating food so it does not go to waste. One of my favorite things about Disney is its helpfulness to the world and its mission is to succeed in helping the world and making it a better place. Disney makes a variety of different TV entertainment but the messages within are what matters the most. And one thing that Disney does strive to do is to make movies that give a purpose. Giving people hope and giving the message that they could do anything, especially in kids' movies. This is a really good thing to give kids hope and that is the really important thing that Disney does for kids all over the world and helps them grow in a good way. In each and every movie Disney does make a variety of movies they all have a unique message that each one brings and they create these unique worlds or places in the movies where it allows those who are watching the movie to let their imagination run wild. And allows them to feel emotion while watching the movies that are created by Disney. Not only does Disney make TV but they also help people and children in different ways like the many good things that Disney does for the children like giving money out to people/charities like the Make-A-Wish program, The Storytelling Campaign for giving books, and helping with many different things with the voluntEARS they send out, and even giving ticket out. To me, Disney not only means a lot to me but also to everyone else in the world. Since I was little the main movies that I have remembered watching were all in fact Disney movies, Princess and the Frog, Peter Pan, etc. The point is those were the main memories of my childhood that I remember and many other children across the world have memories of those movies that made them happy in their childhood. These movies mean a lot to me not only because of the memories but the imagination that it brings to me and the movies have set an expectation in life that I would like to live up to. To do what makes me happy in my career and live life to the fullest while I'm young. And overall that is my favorite thing about Disney are the Movies, The Message in the movies, Memories, and Expectations, Their community service, and their acts to help the world. These are all my favorite things about Disney and what Disney does for the world.

As it is, the most fantastic movie ever, it has to be Mama Mia! Not only do I have many memories of myself with my mother and remember singing the songs along with those happy and joyful songs but this small movie of happiness and sadness has made a big difference in my life. The movie itself tells a beautiful story about a young girl who wants to find herself by having her dad (or dad in the case of the film) by her side for her wedding. In her passion to find her dad (or dads), she found her mother's diary from when she was young and found the names of the three possible people who could be her dad and invited them to her wedding. During this long journey, she takes before getting married not only does she get to know her mother's past more but learns more about where she came from by getting to know her three possible dads that she's invited to her wedding. Throughout my childhood, I remember when I was at my old house, when I was younger, me and my mom would sit down on the couch on a weekend and play the movie Mamma Mia and sing together. Nonetheless, that was one of the very important memory's that I have had with my mom because watching it with her bought me happiness and even the movie itself was a good movie. But it wasn't just the movie that made it a good memory, it was the fact that it was a good memory with my mom that I have cherished because honestly, that was one good memory of other memories that aren't as good. Ever since we have moved from our old house to our house now things always haven't been good between me and my mother, just like others, we haven't always been on the best terms. And looking back on this memory makes me feel happy again. And it is crazy to think that a small movie can create a memory like this that I now look back to it. The impact that it has had on me not only just sitting down to watch the movie itself but how I can relate to the movie now more than ever in my teen years of wanting to find myself and who I am. And when I'm down sometimes I know the comfort movie I go to to make me feel better and that is why Mamma Mis was the greatest movie that had an impact on my life.

Hi, I'm Brooke and I personally would like to go into business because I have a passion for planning with money and would like to help others be informed of ways to be more efficient in how to spend their money. What got me into having business as an interest was my planning I've personally always loved planning and specifically money. I've been planning also more for the future and love budgeting and finding out what job I would like to go into like a Financial Manager for instance. But it's not just the money its self of planning that draws my attention to it ,it's the fact that I enjoy it and would like to find smart ways to plan and spend my money in the future so I'm not put in the same place I have been all my childhood. Not that I'm poor or anything it's just the fact that my parents constantly talked around me about how they couldn't afford to buy small things or even make purchases, and would always say "it's not that they couldn't afford it they just weren't in a financial position to do it" weather it was for small or big things in general. As a child and still, to this day it constantly worries me because I'm scared I might go without even though I have the house, I have I just don't like having the constant feeling of worrying all of the time and I would like to give guidance to people out there in the world to how to spend money so they don't have to experience an experience I had. I want to help people in the economy with their money so they are not struggling with this inflation us is dealing with right now. Also not to mention when I was younger and in Foster Care I didn't have a stable home, I was in special foster care where I would stay at a house for 3 months or so then they would decide if they wanted me or not. So within me moving around also when I was younger in foster care I was scared of not having that stable home or safe space with the money. And I want others to not have the pain I had or the constant worry I was dealing with that had to deal with money. Experiencing what I experienced honestly benefits me today because I've taken that feeling of worrying that I would have and ended up putting it to good use and using it to make smart decisions. I would want to make the right choices and save properly and still be able to buy things without going over my budget and do better than my parents and use and inform others about the smart decisions that can be made. I would like to take from my exspriences and learn from what I have personally been thrown as a person and do better and share with the world how to budget and help them get threw life by not going over budget but also still living and being able to spend money and save.

Exsperiencing what I experienced honestly benefits me today because I've taken that feeling of worrying that I would have and ended up putting it to good use and using it to make smart decisions. I would want to make the right choices and save properly and still be able to buy things without going over my budget and do better than my parents.
