“Stop watching TV!” I cannot tell you how much I have heard my mother complain about my TV watching habits. Watching cartoons, drawing pretty pictures and playing in the dirt are my most prominent childhood memories. Although I out grew playing in the dirt, I still continued to watch my cartoons and draw endlessly. When the time came to go to elementary school, reading was added to the list. Between TV, books and the comic books, that were introduced to me courtesy of my father; I cannot tell you how many different worlds I’ve been transported to, how many things I’ve learned, and experiences I’ve had and felt without ever leaving my living room. One afternoon I was doing my homework in my room when I heard this awesome song blasting from the TV. Being curious, I went out to see. On the TV was the Cartoon Network hit show Steven Universe, by Rebecca Sugar. The scene was from the episode “Jail Break”, and the featured song “Stronger than you” was playing. As I watched, I became infatuated, consumed, and lost in this show. My every pore was tingling with excitement. Before me, was a beautiful unity of the most favorable creative expression. The meaning of literature, the magical rhythm of song and the touching creation of visual art were all intertwined together to create one magnificent master piece radiating with emotion. I felt passion flooding into my soul and with it came the amazing feeling only art can give. It was like I came back to life. With the breath of art still fresh in my lungs, a thought crossed my mind—I want to do that. I still spend a large portion of my time watching cartoons, but I watch with new eyes. Now there is more than the story, there are art styles and movements and emotion that I study the animation for, because one day I want to be making animation too. When I turned 8 years old my father, who is in a wheelchair, was diagnosed with leukemia. Also during this time, my mother gave birth to my twin brothers 2 months premature. My Mom was back and forth to the hospital where my Dad was taking chemo and my premature brothers were hospitalized. I was being shuffled between church members and neighbors after school until my Mom could pick me up. It was a very lean and scary time. In January 2022, Covid 19 took my father. With all his ailments, he could not fight this disease. Then after a car accident, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia that leaves me immobile at times. Needless to say depression set in and took its toll. That's when art changed for me. It became less of a hobby and more of an expression. When the world seemed completely dark, there are still colors that infuse with colors that unite to create a melodic representation of emotion that starts in the mind and flows through the hands. I couldn't help but be reminded of the beauties and wonders of the world because of art. Art has become part of who I am, and I want to continue to grow in skill and to allow my mind to flourish in creativity. The world is beautiful and I want to share that beauty through my art. This is how a dream begins. Once a dream becomes a reality, it can lead to a plan. Once a plan takes shape, it can become success. My goal is to become a successful animator and this scholarship will help me reach my dream.

The football flies from my hero’s fingers and across the yard to lands solidly in my own hands with thump! Isn’t that a perfect image of a dad spending time with their kid? At least that is in my mind. Ironically enough it is the opposite of my own father. My father is a paraplegic. He never was able to do things such as playing football with me. Despite my father disability it doesn't make him any less of a dad or a hero. I have first-hand witnessed my father’s struggle every single day, but somehow, he still has a personality so dynamic that it would give any dad a run for their money! He may not have his legs, but he sure has a sense of humor, and the ability to connect with others that seems outside of my own ability. Growing up in an environment with such a larger-than-life person has given me experience other kids could never know. My dad has allowed for key components of my personality to truly develop. However, on January 10, 2022 my world changed. My father passed away from Covid 19. Even though I thought of him as invincible, he could not beat this sickness. As I struggled to deal with his hospitalization and then his death, my school attendance and grades suffered. I missed classes and lectures to attend his Memorial Service and support my family. In addition, I have fibromyalgia which flares its ugly head when I am stressed. This is an additional burden I must carry for the rest of my life. It is a hidden disease that causes pain and stiffness in my joints and muscles. Although it has only been three months since his death, I still feel his loss every day. It is extremely hard when I am home alone and the quiet and stillness of the house is awful. I keep waiting for him to peak his head in my room and tell me a joke or something funny. I am learning to cope without his presence in my life. I had to drop a class last semester but still managed to complete two classes with an A in both. I am back to full time this semester and am still adjusting to his loss. I have learned to be strong when it is required, but still have moments when missing him overwhelms me. However, I am resilient; I am strong; I am my father’s daughter.

My every pore was tingling with excitement. A thought crossed my mind—I want to create that. In order to create like that, it requires constant growth. I am currently attending Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and have grown substantially not only in my personal life, but in my art and creativity. My goal is to become an animator. In order to be successful in animation, it will require a constant growth in my mindset. You cannot sit ideal. I must be continuing to improve and create new art. Art is created in the mind and flows out thru my fingers. The more I create, the better I shall become. The better I become, the more successful I become. Thank you.

My story begins 20 years ago, to be honest; I don't remember much from beginning. So fast forward few years; to my mother chastising me over all my perfectly good, never used, collection of coloring books. All adults love getting kids coloring books, except I loathed coloring sheets. I didn't want to color regular princess, I wanted to design my own princess with a jetpack and laser eyes. As I grew, I always went out of my way to make sure my art was one kind and to be as special as I was. Yet the world had to knock flat on my back. After two car accidents, my body stopped functioning properly. Six months later, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia that leaves me immobile at times. This is an invisible disease that many people do not see or understand. My pain fluctuates from day to day; from weather to weather; or from what I eat or drink. One day I can be fine and feel great. The next day I am hurting and struggling to complete my homework or my daily functions. The pain can be in my hands or shooting down my legs. I have gotten weak and even the smallest tasks can be a chore. Fibromyalgia is non-curable, and it can just be treated by medicine, diet and exercise to keep it manageable. Twenty years old is extremely young to be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. However, after 2 car accidents in which someone wrecked into my vehicle, my pain and issues began. I have been told by my doctors that sudden impacts can bring Fibromyalgia to the forefront. I might not have ever had Fibromyalgia until I was much older. I truly believe these accidents are the triggers to all my pain and suffering. My goal is still to become an animator so I can fill the world with colors, laughter and even tears. Art has become part of who I am, and I want to continue to grow in skills and to allow my mind to flourish in creativity. The world is beautiful, and I want to share that beauty through art. I will not let fibromyalgia define me or limit me to reach my dream. This scholarship will help me achieve my goals to attend Savannah College of Art and Design to become an animator. Due to my Fibromyalgia, it is difficult for me to hold a normal job that is geared towards normal functioning people; therefore, any scholarship will be a huge help. Thank you.

As I climbed in grades, I found this love of learning, but I loved art more. Creative expression excited every being of my body; an excitement that can only be felt in the depths of art, in the deeper meanings of literature and in the flowing rhythm of a song. But high school provided me with a reality check. I needed to get serious about my life and start working towards a career. I started focusing more on my academic success and on the path to become an architect. Art, reading and watching Disney all became hobbies. I still enjoyed them, but they weren’t as important. I found myself exceling in my drafting classes, but I wasn’t happy. I didn’t find that excitement I got from art; I got bored easily, where I could paint for hours on end. I just was going through the motions to be part of society, and then it all changed. I was doing my homework in my room when I heard this awesome song blasting from the TV. Being curious, I went out to see. On the TV was the Cartoon Network hit show Steven Universe, by Rebecca Sugar.

Now there is more than the story, there are art styles and movements and emotion that I study the animation for, because one day I want to be making animation too. To create a successful animation, I must create a successful story thru creative writing. This is how a dream begins. Once a dream becomes a reality, it can lead to a plan. Once a plan takes shape, it can become success. My goal is to become a successful animator. My success will be judged by how I make people laugh, dream, or even cry when my work is published. What a better way to change the world than thru laughter. This would be my success story. Thank you for your consideration for your scholarship.

One of the most rewarding volunteer works I have ever been involved with is the “Back 2 School Bash” (B2SB) that is held annually in August in our town. This great program gives away book bags full of school supplies, haircuts, new shoes, new socks and even lunch, all for free, to 1,500 students in our county. When the program first began 4 years ago, my family was a recipient of this wonderful gift. As recipients of the B2SB, I got to see first-hand how this program helped not only us, but so many other families in our area. My family was struggling financially during this time. My father was going thru chemo for his leukemia and my twin baby brothers were born premature. A very dear friend, and one of the organizers of the event, introduced us to B2SB. The school supplies and shoes lightened the financial burden of starting back to school plus the free lunch was great! After that difficult year, I realized I wanted to give back to the community. The influence of love we felt from B2SB was inspiring. I wanted to be on the other side of that love. I wanted to give love instead of receive. After seeing what an awesome opportunity to give back to my community, I registered to be a volunteer. As a volunteer for this program, I definitely give love, but receive that love back ten-fold when I receive an ear splitting smile from a child or a huge hug from a parent. I want to make these families feel that they are special and that people care for their children. Although the volunteer work and organizing starts long before August, I begin my work the week before the event. I am one of many volunteers who help move all the supplies from the storage facility and start the set up at the event site. We work to have each supply area set up before the big day. We put long hours in sorting and arranging the tables and booths so the flow of families goes smoothly. Because of my artistic abilities, I was in charge of creating signs the past two years. This was fun and easy work for me. I worked on my signs long into the night to have them ready for the next day. I can’t just do simple letters on the signs, I want them to be beautiful so I draw and embellish each sign with unique designs. On the day of the event, I am assigned a shoe station with a runner to retrieve the shoes and socks I will need for each student. I greet the child and family as I would an old friend. I want them to be comfortable and enjoy themselves. Some children are shy or have tickly feet. Others are open and love to talk. Either one is a joy to explain why we wash their feet and to hopefully to show the sunny side of everything. Once their new shoes are fitted and we say a prayer for them, a new family is brought to my station. No child or family is rushed; I take my time with each family. I treat each child as if they are my own family. No child is ever left behind or without shoes. If for some reason we do not have that child’s shoe size, we take all their information and B2BS sends them a new pair of shoes in the mail. How awesome is that! There are many opportunities to serve during “The Bash”; registration, school supplies and backpacks; shoes, haircuts or food. I chose to wash feet. I get to directly interact with the children and their family as I wash their feet just as Jesus washed the disciple’s feet. The children tell me about themselves as we talk and I get to know a little about each child and their family. I don’t know who is more impacted during this time, the children and families or myself by the HUGE hugs I get from these children who are so excited to receive new shoes and school supplies. One thing I learned from volunteering at B2SB was to “Step Out of the Boat”. In other words, step out of my comfort zone. Washing stranger’s feet and then praying for them is not something I do every day or even learned as a child. I learned that people truly are grateful when a community comes together to show their love and giving nature to them. To see these children’s faces light up as they jump around in their new shoes while their new book bag bounces around on their back is very rewarding. This is why I love this program and why I volunteer each year. My favorite memory was a little boy in 1st grade. He had a little sister who was in a wheelchair. As I washed his feet, we talked about starting school. Once he had his new shoes, he couldn’t wait for his sister to get her new shoes. We happened to have sparkly pink shoes in her size. I don’t know who was more excited, the little girl or the boy for his sister. He had such love and care for his sister that it brought tears to my eyes. This is how true love should be. B2SB will continue with the aid of the volunteer and the local churches and businesses that have given their time, talent and money to ensure we continue to provide this wonderful event for our community. I hope to continue to be involved with B2SB and take more responsibility as I get older and learn more about this wonderful organization and how we can impact our community and families. Thank you for your consideration for your scholarship.

It has become a goal, and dream of mine to go to SCAD. SCAD is renowned for its animation program. If I want to be successful in my future career, I need to learn from some of the best professors and most prestigious college. As one of 3 children in my family, money is always tight. My father is a stay-at-home dad due to being a paraplegic as well as a Leukemia survivor and my Mom works full time to cover all our bills. Unfortunately, that has not left extra money to save for my college or to pay for upcoming expense of college. My ambition is to become a successful animator. My success will be judged by how I make people laugh, sing, or even cry when my work is published. What a better world it would be if more people laughed and sang.

My story begins 18 years ago, to be honest; I don't remember much from beginning. So fast forward a few years; to my mother chastising me over all my perfectly good and never used collection of coloring books that I have in my room. All adults love getting kids coloring books, except for I loathed coloring sheets. I didn't want to color regular princess, I wanted to design my own princess with a jetpack and laser eyes. Even as a kid, somehow deep down I knew I had a gift of creativity that I needed to put into the world. As I grew as a child, I always went out of my way to make sure my art was one kind, to be as special as I was. Yet the world had to knock flat on my back. When I turned 8 years old my father, who is in a wheelchair, was diagnosed with leukemia. Also during this time, my mother gave birth to my twin brothers 2 months premature. My Mom was back and forth to the hospital where my Dad was taking chemo and my premature brothers were hospitalized. I was being shuffled between church members and neighbors after school until my Mom could pick me up. It was a very lean and scary time. Happily to say, my father is considered cured and you would never know my twin brothers were preemies. Then after a car accident, my body stopped functioning properly. Six months later I was diagnosed with a severe case of fibromyalgia that leaves me immobile at times. Needless to say depression set in and took its toll. That's when art changed for me. It became less of a hobby and to a world of expression. When the world seemed completely dark, there are still colors that infuse with forms that unite to create a melodic representation of emotion that starts in the mind and flows through the hands. I couldn't help but be reminded of the beauties and wonders of the world because of art. Art has become part of who I am, and I want to continue to grow in skill and to allow my mind to flourish in creativity. The world is beautiful and I want to share that beauty through my art. However, as a family, we are still struggling financially. I am currently a senior in high school and am looking for help paying for my college. My grades are excellent, I am involved in community clubs in school, I am active in my church, and a big help to my parents. However, none of these will pay for my college. My Goal is to be an animator. Thru animation I can create a world that makes people laugh, cry or sing. What a beautiful world it would be if more people would laugh and sing. This is my motivation to succeed in a career in animation. Thank you for your consideration for this scholarship.
