    Richard (Dunk) Matthews II Scholarship
    I’ve always been a hard working individual my father was a marine and a corrections officer and his mother a school teacher for 33 years . I raised to be thorough and versatile which lead me to be a jack of all trades I’ve been in many fields from nursing to trucking and now I’m looking to advance myself with HVAC training to begin a new adventure on the road of life. Ima full time dad of 6 beautiful children who I’d give the world to and for them I’m heading back to school. Just to tell you about some of my skills. I’m a self taught barber of 20plus years and maintain a private client. Also I’m a self taught Dj and host private events providing quality music and entertainment services for all occasions.Ive completed Cna nursing assistant training program and also completed commercial driving license training programs. I have always believed in making the world a better by being the difference. I’m very self aware of my own actions. If I want to see my children have a better life then I did I have to show them the way . I teach my children love and respect not to see social issues or racial tensions . Equality amongst all people no matter color creed or sex . Choosing to believe the world isn’t a bad place and that we can all achieve peace and harmony by simple respecting each other. Life has taught many lessons I lost my father who was my pride and joy and only true parent. He raised me himself along with my grandmother his mother . He was tough and fun to be with at the same time. He instilled in me to give 110% of myself to everything I did in life. Also to not shy away from being myself. As a single father much like my own I strive to be an understanding and trying man to simple love and hear my children. Expressing love as well as fears to them openly so that they better understand it’s ok to feel emotions in life . To sum up my essay this scholarship isn’t just for me but my family. It would be a blessing to each of us. It would be an honor as a tradesman in my own right to receive this scholarship. I feel as though I embody the spirit of being a tradesman and always pushing myself to be better in every way every day. Thank you for ya time god bless!
