Bio

I aim to live an impactful life I can be proud of by helping others and protecting/conserving important places. I'm passionate about conservation and want to work for the National Park Service to protect some of the USA's most historically and environmentally important sites. I have been to a lot of the National Parks and have been to all of the lower 48 states - I'm very passionate about dedicating my life to conserving these places. That is why I believe I am a great candidate.

    Minecraft Forever Fan Scholarship
    The aspect of an infinite procedural generated world offers a fantastic medium for exploration. Seeing as each world is unending and unique, players can discover mountains and other landmarks that have never been seen by anyone else before. I love this aspect so much as I can spend hours, weeks even, exploring a singular world and the numerous amount of biomes, caves, and mountains within it. This resonates with me deeply because of my passion for adventure and exploration. Minecraft offers a safe and entertaining way to set off into unknown lands. Each Minecraft world a player creates is their own personal sandbox for discovery. I can remember my sense of awe when I discovered a really cool formation that consisted of super tall rocky spires with trees at the top or when I found a giant icy mountain unlike anything I had ever seen before. Statistically speaking, there is a very high chance that I am the only person who has ever laid eyes upon those formations. That is what makes the game truly special - it gives players the spark of discovery via exploration. With such a vast world to explore, its easy to feel lonely, but with the multiplayer feature, you can go on adventures with your friends. I have hundreds of memories of exploring dangerous structures and harsh environments with friends and although most had tragic endings with lots of deaths, we all had fun. I still remember joining a Realm with two other friends, seating all of our animals as well as ourselves into boats, and sailing thousands of blocks away from spawn to a really cool mountain which later became our main base. That is why the aspect of a procedural generated world is my favorite part of the game and why it resonates with me so deeply - It allowed me to go on adventures with friends to see things no one else has ever seen before from the comfort of my room.
