Along with hoping to achieve growth and empowerment through my art profession. My dream career is to become an art therapist. I also dreamed of becoming an illustrator for an aspiring author. Becoming an art therapist has recently struck my mind because it involves my passion for arts. It also allows me to work and gain deeper understanding of mental health of those who have been through addictions. Addictions have never affected my life, but they did give me incentive to do some research about the human mind. Our values and perspectives on our world. Addictions have opened my mind to what can or will happen if the cycle of addiction does not stop. Addictions can shape lives in more ways than one. It can cause pain to those around you. It can lead you to making bad choices and leaving you with regret. In addition, having an addiction and putting it above everything else can lead to feeling alone and sick. I previously stated that I am not addicted to anything. But if I were, I would be able to stop it by talking to someone I trust, whether my parents, teacher, or counselor about it. I could break the cycle of addiction by using other coping methods like self-reflection, meditating, and talking to a counselor. Along with cleaning my mind with other activities, so that I won't have to think about the addiction anymore.

My name is Madison Simpson, I am eighteen years old. I am senior at First Assembly Christian School, and I graduated for the class of 2024. Right now, I am planning to become a college freshman This year, I am applying to major in studio arts, art education, and fine arts. I am eighteen years old. I identify myself as an African American citizen and a Christian. I am currently looking for scholarships that can support me financially during college. These past few months have been revolved around finding the right college for me, applying for scholarships nonstop, and handling FAFSA. However, I have been accepted into various colleges so far. Furthermore, I have decided on what college I would attend to. The college that I have chosen to attend to is Bethel University. Now, I will deeply explain about the well-known poetry "If", written by Rudyard Kiplin and published in 1910. "If " by Rudyard Kiplin If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream—and not make dreams your master. If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt, you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run— Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! This poem is about the virtues of a man. A man facing trials and tribulations. As humans, in my opinion, we have always been known to struggle, to strive, and to survive in this world. Along with being able to be resilient despite failure. This poem, overall, explains how a man can overcome adversities in order to achieve something greater than them. For me, Adversity means to challenge oneself every day. And, without adversity, you could never experience life to the fullest. Adversity is a way to test someone's ability or to see them seek their full potential. Adversity is a part of life. And that's what makes life meaningful. My understanding of this poem is that in order to overcome adversities of life, we need to have resilience, strength, and a sense of purpose. When I read this poem in high school, the word "if", from my perspective, symbolizes the possibilities that humans can achieve if they have what it takes to overcome challenges, and resolve their despair with strength against failure.

I showed my support by signing up for 3v3 soccer tournament. Another example was las Tuesday, I volunteered at a food drive for the Excel Leadership Program. By packaging food for the needy and making sure that the carline was going in order. These examples proves that I embodied selflessness because I was able to give and do my best to help others in need. Giving back means caring for the world around you and understanding the importance of being selfless.

Now, I am living in Cordova, Tennessee Throughout my school years, from elementary to high school, there were various questions that made me reflect on myself, like, "Why do you smile so much" or "How do you see yourself in life"? These two questions have been glued to me every day. They were never absent from my mind. These questions still made my mind fuzzy because I am still figuring it out. However, these questions have influenced my goals and aspirations today by helping me make several self-discoveries. Along with understanding where I stand as a person in society.

My name is Madison Denise. I am eighteen years old. I was born on November 28, 2005. I am an undergraduate. I am a Christian woman. I have made principal's list throughout my high school years. I currently took the ACT and made a 19 on it. I live in Cordova, Tennessee. I was a high school senior, class of 2024. I graduate from First Assembly Christian School a month ago. I identify myself as an African American citizen. I live with my parents and my little brother. I am unemployed, because I am currently busy looking getting ready for college. Right now, I am going to explain why I am fit for this scholarship and a financial opportunity that bold.org has presented to me. I have been applying for several colleges since my senior year in high school. I am planning on coursing in Fine arts and studio during my freshman year of college. I love to draw and paint. Especially drawing. My plans are a bit...unorganized at the moment. But I am doing my best to attain my goal, which is to attend an affordable four-year college. I have been accepted into a few colleges. My best two options are Mississippi College and Christian Brothers University. Along with applying for Federal Student Aid sources. I hope this scholarship will do me justice in that. My career goals are to earn a bachelor's degree in art education and go to an affordable college. However, my final choice on college is Christian Brothers University. Now, this scholarship dedicates its favor for the military and its importance to the US. The military is a co-existence, for both male and female, citizens who volunteer to serve the greater good for their nations. The military does their best to help people. Similarly, I have been helping my parents with chores around the house. Such as, occasionally, helping my dad clean buildings, helping my mom with the garden whenever I could. Or whenever she asks me to. And helping my little brother with his homework. Whenever my parents go out, I do most of the chores, such as washing and drying clothes, make up our beds, cooking meals, and washing dishes. However, this is incomparable to what the military does in order to protect our country. The military, for me, is important because they keep all citizens of different nations safe. In addition, protecting our country means having faith and hope during hardships within our country. Along with motivating me to do the same for my environment. What motivates me in life is that fact that I am just starting to experience it. Along with Christ, my family, goals, and dreams.

My dream career is to become an art therapist. I plan to use my career to encourage every generation to see art as a potential career. Along with improving mental health by using expression in creation. I love to draw and paint, especially painting. I was an indoor child growing up. I mean, I love to go outside every now and then. But I was very shy and timid growing up. I love to draw as a kid. As I got older, I still love drawing. I even got into painting around middle school. I started painting when COVID-19 hit our state. It really was a great way to pass the time, along with the boredom. Again, my dream career is to become an art therapist. My career in arts can make positive impact on others. Different art medias have made a positive impact on my life because they show that I can achieve my goals one step at a time. No matter how hard things get. I create something with diligence and effort. So, how do I plan to use my art career to make a positive impact? To engage in healthy experiences with art. It can help those to cope any difficulties in their lives. I plan to use my art career to educate others about art. Along with using it to understand society and help others understand our culture. Also, I plan to use my art career to positively impact the world by using it to bring us together. To teach those who do not understand about creativity, community, historical context behind it, and create awareness within our community. I chose this career because I believe and know that I can use my artistic skills to promote creativity in others. Also learning how to pursue art helps with developing good skills in beauty, communication, self-expression, and seeking out historical context of the arts. It can help others reach their full potential as newborn artists and gain understanding of various arts. It also helps them understand how to explore the opportunities into learning about artworks from various eras, along with artists. Therefore, I chose to pursue my career in Art Therapy because creating art can help those to express creativity and recovery from mental health problems through pursuing art. Such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and other various media. Consequently, this led to this question "why my career choice excites me?" This career excites me because I get an opportunity to justify how art can be pursued as a career, along with enjoying my passion for it. While using my artistic skills to serve my community for others. I hope to achieve growth and empowerment through my art. I also plan to use my artistic skills to demonstrate my resilience and diligence by encouraging others to never give up on their work. And to demonstrate leadership by having motivation to pursue their goals and overcome challenges that life has to offer. In addition, I plan to use my artistic skills to promote creativity, cognition, and courage when comes to pursuing your dreams and goals. I hope to use my art to evoke empowerment for everyone, such minorities, gender, races, disabilities, and others. Although this scholarship requires field of studies such as human resources, science, accounting, and finance, choosing Fine arts as my field of study can help achieve my goals as an artist.

However, overtime, I have gotten over my insecurities and work diligently every day. Now, along with being timid, I was also socially naive. Honestly, the LGBTQIA experiences have somewhat impacted me to learn about them. Although I do not consider myself as a member of the LGBTQIA community, I have always gotten curious about it. Because during my junior and senior year of high school, I attended a Christian school, and we discuss various topics about secular cultural and religious cultural. My teacher, during class, would allow us to research a topic and present it in front of the class. My classmates would discuss about the LGBTQ community, and how it was considered as a secular view on humanity.

I plan to use my career to encourage every generation to see art as a potential career. Along with improving mental health by using expression in creation. For me, becoming an 'up-stander' started off as a bit of a challenge. I grew up shy and timid when comes to being around people. Along with being insecure about myself. When I was in elementary school, I was bullied because of my weight, and possibly because of my other quirks. So, becoming an 'up-stander' was hard. However, when I reached middle school, my dad enrolled in karate. It brought my confidence up by a ton. I also gained an understanding of being resilient and will-powered. Moreover, when I enrolled at First Assembly Christian School, I started to understand the importance of having faith in the Lord, along with having a voice. I am an up-stander because I have the power to encourage others to do the right thing. Which is to help others when they have no one to turn to for help. I plan to use my voice to encourage others to help in the community, when I go away to college. Although I do not know what to do in my own community, I can still do my best to bring attention to a fight-worthy cause. As an African American young lady, I may experience trials in this worldly-cultural. However, having faith and resilience comes from working hard in life. This scholarship can help benefit me to succeed in college, like paying for my supplies and needs. I sincerely thank you for considering me for this opportunity.

Again, I am not in theater, but I am passionate about performing arts is because it can sometimes be underestimated as an educational yet aspirational purpose. For theater, my favorites are musicals.

My favorite musicals are "The Heathers" and "Mean Girls". Anyway, I am passionate about performing arts because I believe this subject can inspire and impact those who are as passionate as I am.

However, there is a movie that impacted my life up to this point. The film was "Mulan"(1998). Mulan, for me, has impacted my life because I was very timid as a kid growing up. Especially the song "Reflection" has made me do some self-reflections of my own. About me transitioning from girlhood to womanhood, as well as getting ready to experience life outside my comfort-zone. This film was partially one of the reasons why I was interest in karate. When I was a kid, I got bullied because of my weight. When I was in the fifth or sixth grade, my dad signed me up for karate class. I enjoyed it. But this film gave me a confidence boost I needed.

My other hobbies are reading mystery and suspense novels. Out of the current hobbies I have just listed, my favorite hobby is to draw because I can easily erase my mistakes when needed, unlike the mistakes in my life. My chapter is just beginning. Another reason why I like to draw is to promote my emotions and my ambitions into fictional characters. Even in my drawings if there is a mistake, I can learn from it. I do not know my story very well, but I have always done my best to tell it through my drawings. I can always draw out what I am feeling, what I want to say, my goals, dreams, or even motivational speeches. What motivates me to keep pursuing my passion is that there is a bible verse in the New Testament that states, "" Faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible"(Luke 1:37). Faith is what keeps me going on my passion. Along with inspiring others in having faith in the things they love to do. And share it within the community Since I became a young adult, having anxiety about becoming an adult has made me a nervous wreck. But drawing has helped me cope with it. That's why I have been seeing if there are possible careers for art degrees. I want to become an art therapist. I hope to work on a small project like working in an art program or working for an illustration company. Right now, I am still drawing as a hobby. I hope to make an impact through my drawings one day.

When I turned eighteen, I became anxious about life. How I can I get through this without a plan, or goals. But I do plan on making effort in order to succeed. My career in arts can make positive impact on others. Different art medias have made a positive impact on my life because they show that I can achieve my goals one step at a time. No matter how hard things get. Since I became a young adult, question have been popping in my head, such as, "How do you identify yourself" or "How will your identity impact your future and your mindset?" These are the questions that have been lingering me during my senior year of high school. Again, I identify myself as an African American young woman. Identity is a controversial topic that people have discuss over the years. My identity came from what I saw myself. Along with fact that God created me to be a part of this minority group known as African Americans (Blacks). From what I've learned about my minority groups' history in USA history class, during my junior year of high school, this has impacted me to research about my minority group. Along with attempting to make several self-discoveries about myself. It will have an impact on my path by showing me that based on my identity as a member of an underrepresented minority population, I can have certain limitations in cultural views. However, I can also do my best to achieve an education for myself.

However, it can be useful inside and outside of school. It can teach us valuable things that we must learn for future purposes. Such as with inspiring creativity, cognition, and how to embrace simplicity. It can help us learn how to use art for good and resourceful purposes. Not just for myself, but for others around me. Art could spark imagination by helping those who are passionate about it. Whether if it's about something or someone. By expressing our emotions to others that might feel the same sometimes. I plan use my artistic knowledge to evoke awareness in our community, even if it just small awareness. Along with bringing people together, in hopes of uniting as a community against challenges, trials, and tribulations. For instance, visual and performance art is important because it provide everyone with motor skills, helps people develop social skills, critical-thinking skills, decision-making skills, and logical skills. Along with improving collaboration skills. Visual and performing arts included, arts, music, vocal, instruments, and dance. It is important to include visual and performance arts into education because it teaches us how be creative and imaginative.

As well as help counter mental health issues.

I also plan to use my artistic skills to demonstrate my resilience and diligence by encouraging others to never give up on their work. I have always liked art ever since I was kid. Drawing and painting was my favorite form of art. Now, my mother gave me some insight about different types of media that can help sustains my future, along with my well-being. And an artistic profession that can financially support me while I am in college. My reason for choosing fine art as a field is because I believe that I can use art as way to express myself. Though there are other option I have, but fine arts are the one I am most comfortable and familiar with. Now, the question is "Why am I passionate about fine arts?" Passion for fine arts comes from the way I like how fine arts is always underestimated. Fine arts matter too, just as much as any other educational field. I just liked drawing and painting for the sake of being creative. My love for art came from watching cartoons and anime. I like drawing. Later, I discovered painting when I was in the eighth grade. I did not have a particular artist back then. However, after taking art throughout my high school year, my favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh. He created the portrait "Starry Night" and it was beautiful. I now realize my favorite type of art style was expressionism. Reason why he is my favorite artist is because of his intense brush strokes and hues. Besides that, I was attempting to do other art styles to increase my chance of seeing if there was a possibility that Fine arts can be seen as a career choice. However, I was able to improve my paintings over time. His painting inspires me not to lose hope in my talents.

Over time, the thoughts "what is the meaning of life" or "What is the nature of our universe" have been explored by numerous philosophers, who wanted to know what the universe was made of. The universe is full of complexity. Philosophers can develop various theories on how the universe works. When I was in high school, I was in Bible class. I took bible class throughout high school, except for my freshman year due to COVID-19. Anyway, while I was in bible class, our teacher discussed various ideas of the universe based on philosophers' knowledge and perspectives. Some philosophers saw the universe to made by God. While other seem to be convince that the universe is made of matter. They believed that the universe is made of particles, atoms, evolution, minerals, and earth materials. Other believe the nature of our universe from a biblical perspective. For instance, modern-day Christians, such as myself, believe that God created the land, sky, and ocean. Actually, God created the entire universe. Along with believing in the Book of Genesis, Old Testament, where the nature of our universe revolves around creation. However, later in time, other theories of our universe came into play. For example, in my bible, we discuss Darwinism. Darwinism is a universal theory that indicated that nature began with evolution. Charles Darwin believe mankind were involved with evolution instead of being created by God. Another example, German scientists, Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden, theorize that all living organisms are made of cells and per-existent cells. This will later be called the Cell Theory. I also learned about fatalism, which means our actions our predetermined. Why do I think it's important that we work to better understand the nature of our universe? I think it is important to work to better understand the nature of our universe is because we gain a better understanding of it. Along with understanding our universe from these two perspectives, biblical and secular. We need to study on the universe and how it progressed over time. Along with seeing how these philosophies worked. Or didn't work during those times. Finally, working on understanding the nature of our universe is important to me because we help those who do not understand or agree with certain philosophies about the universe. I hoped to employ my ideas based of my religion instead of secular views and world culture. Along with using little sections of the previous philosophies made about the universe to sum up my ideas and statements.

My name is Madison Simpson. I am eighteen years old. I identify myself an African American. A female. And a Christian. During my freshman year of high school, I attended Cordova High School during COVID-19. Then, for the rest of my high school years (sophomore, junior, and senior) I attended at a private school called "First Assembly Christian School." Right now, I am applying for numerous scholarships so that I can be financially supported throughout college. I either plan to go to Mississippi College or Christian Brothers University. My intended field of study is Fine arts. I graduate for the class of 2024.I love to draw and paint, especially painting This year, I am applying to major in studio arts, art education, and fine arts. What have I learned about mental health during my high school years and how will I apply it in the years to come? For starters, mental health is an important yet delicate topic to discuss around others. It is also a national crisis when it comes to mental health issues. Specifically, a few people have experience mental health issues throughout the years. Mental health is a serious subject that everyone is aware or educated at schools. Mental health issues, including Bi-polar disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, substance-related disorders, and others are known to be quite controversial. During my freshman year of high school, our classes were virtual. I was in my fifth period physical education. My teacher, Mr. Smith, brought up the topic mental health. At first, I wonder why my teacher brought up mental health when were in "physical" education. As the lesson went on, he started to talk about ways with coping with mental health issues. Such as deep breathing routines, doing daily exercises, meditation, having relaxation plans, etc. Moreover, in my sixth period class, AVID-6, my teacher wanted us to read a book called "The 7 Tips of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey in class. We study that book, to learn about developing a positive mindset, being proactive, synergize, and thinking with a win-win attitude. Overtime, I have been applying these lessons throughout the rest of high school at First Assembly Christian School. For me, I can apply my past lessons about mental health to encourage others to be aware that mental health is important. Moreover, since my field of interest is Fine arts, I will use my art degree to become an art therapist, and to encourage those to paint or create projects out from their health. Along with helping them recover from their health issues.

My name is Madison Simpson. I am a senior in High school, class of 2024. I graduate from First Assembly Christian School a month ago. I identify myself as an African American citizen and a Christian. I have been reading the Bible to understanding my religious values, as I am preparing myself to go to college. I live in Cordova, Tennessee. I live with my parents and my little brother. I love to draw and paint, especially painting This year, I am applying to major in studio arts, art education, and fine arts. Although I am not interested in theatre, I am interested in Fine arts, in general though. I plan to make a positive impact on the world through my art skills. I hope that I can help others reach their full potential and promote a deeper understanding of various arts. Along with helping them understand how to explore the opportunities into learning about artworks and different types of media as well. Since my high year at First Assembly Christian School, my art teacher Ralph Norwood. He was my art teacher from my sophomore to senior year of high school. He taught me various subjects such as using acrylic paint, the color scale, monochromatic, and etc. Along with teaching us various art media. And be able to understand how different art media influenced culture, politics, aesthetics, and historical values. I believe art can help people explore different world views outside our values and ethnics. Mr. Norwood was in a theatre production and was an elementary teacher. During our classes, Mr. Norwood would allow us to do different art projects. He believed in creativity and wanted to us to use our creativity with a Christian-like manner. On some occasions he assigns us with artistic task that he designs, so that we can explore our creativity side. Along with learning new artistic skills and techniques. He influenced me to be creative and be diligent on my projects. He always influenced me that it is okay to make a mistake when it comes to art. This revelation made me realize it is alright to mistake, not intentionally. Mistakes can help a someone learn from them and do better. Whether its big or small, mistakes can shape people and their perspectives. This has shaped my life because I am not afraid of making mistakes anymore. Now I feel confident in myself and can learn from my mistakes.

Personal development can lead all possibilities in life. It is a journey. An everlasting journey that everyone in their life takes every day. It can help everyone achieve their goals and dreams. Or something greater than they could imagine. Personal development can happen all sorts of ways. It can impact our minds and bodies if we pursue our goals, not matter how big or small they are, we can help ourselves by learning more about ourselves. Why is personal development important to me? For me, personal development is important because I can learn more about myself through my actions and my words. Personal development, for me, is similar to personal growth. Personal development is important to me because it is a part of life. Because we all have a right to change. Personal development is chance to make the best version of yourself, while making the most of it. Although personal development does not happen in an instant, it is possible. Personal development can help various areas in our lives, such as mental health, emotional stability, physical stability, and even spiritual awakening. Even with smaller counterparts like developing a positive mindset, adjusting attitude, cooperation skills, and etc. The list is endless when it comes to personal development. Again, personal development is important to me because I can help myself become better in certain areas of life. Along with developing in areas of myself, such as self-worth, socialization skills, and self-confidence. It is important to work on the best version of yourselves. As well as mine. Now, how am I working on becoming the best version of myself? That question has always been on my mind every day, since middle school and throughout high school. Even till now when I am about to transition into adulthood, along with looking for numerous scholarships. With my family's support, I was able to see that going to college is an opportunity to become the best version of myself. I work on becoming the best version of myself by setting up short-term goals for myself like spending six hours a day without my phone, or exercise three times a day. Along with telling myself to make self-reflecting statements about improvement, self-interventions, and how to cope with stress. To setting up long-term goals such as lose 34 pounds, affording for tuition, and finding a summer job. There are various ways that personal development can impact our well-being. Personal development can help explore parts of us that need work. It is a struggling journey, but it is worth it if it means developing growth within us. I hope this answer these questions.

What does adversity mean to me? Adversity means to challenge oneself every day. Or overcome a traumatic experience, whether it be big or small. For me, adversity means a challenge into going the next level of life. Without adversity, I could never experience life to the fullest. Adversity is a way to test someone's ability or to see them seek their full potential. Adversity is a part of life. To overcome obstacles that you never thought that you can achieve. For me, I overcome various obstacles as I am now transitioning into adulthood. To start off, my mother and father found out that I had an ear infection when I was four years old. I made me progress at a slower pace than other children when I was in pre-school. However, overtime, it got better. I am now able to work and learn at a steadier pace like other students. When I was about in middle school, I started to learn about my family background. Along with learning how to be a proper teenager. Growing up, I grew up in Christian household. I was always shy and timid around people, except my family. Both of my parents were very good at being socially active towards others, especially my father. He is outgoing and good person. He works at a cleaning company, while my mother works for E-commerce. But she works at home. However, they are always diligent and proud of the work that they have done to support our family. They diligence has inspire me to work harder every day. I have been since then. When COVID-19 came, I felt comfortable at first about doing school online, but then, it didn't feel right. I was still on top of all my schoolwork. However, when I was about to turn sixteen, I started to doubt about myself since college was right around the corner. I got anxious whenever I think about college and the next level of maturity. Sometimes I even feel sadden about it. But my parents reassured me the college is a great experience for me to be an adult. And to experience life outside the house. Their words made me see a positive perspective about college. It made me want to work harder even more. Then, I decided to transfer to Frist Assembly Christian School for the rest of my high school year. Because I wanted to have faith in my religion and to gain more positivity than I had before. Since then, I have been applying to various scholarships that I can find. I have been accepted into numerous institutions so far, such as Mississippi College, Christian Brothers University, and much more. I even graduate last month. Along with getting different scholarships offerings. One day, I hope to bring back to my community is the power of diligence and faith.

Everyone's journey has their hardships. Along with numerous trials and tribulations, there is always going to be certain choices to make. A journey is a path. For some, they can just instantly figure out how they're going to succeed in life. On the other hand, others might take longer to decide what to do about their future and how they are going to live. I am one of those people who is still attempting to decide my future career and how I am I going to live off it. Every day I wonder how have I got this far in life? And how will I continue to go far in life? Victory can have various meanings, to various people. Victory can come from having a personal value that some may have lived off from their childhoods. Or a certain accomplishment that one has worked diligently for a long time. It has different meanings. Along with having to deal with certain obstacles in life. For me, it was when I was four years old, I had an ear infection in one of my ears. I caused me to learn at a slower pace that other children. But that did not stop me from doing my best at school. Over time, it got better, and I was able to learn at the right pace as others now. Victory can come from making mistakes as well. For a while now, for me, making mistakes means failure. That was my way of thinking about mistakes, especially when I started to become maturely develop. Whenever I made a mistake, I would always get upset or anxious at myself, because I was almost an adult soon, which led me to think I do not have time to make mistakes. However, over time, I have finally come to terms that making mistakes is the first step to attaining success. Because without mistakes, I could not be able to learn anything new. Or accomplish something new. I made plenty of mistakes, whether they were big or small, I still learned from them. Like failing a quiz for the first time, or accidentally leaving my computer at home when I was in my sophomore year of high school. But I have been improving myself since then and I have been continuing to grow as a young adult. My biggest victory was when I was seventeen years old, I received a congratulations letter from Mississippi College for the first time. It made me realize that I can handle any obstacles that came my way with help of my family and myself. It also made me and my family happy that I am becoming a mature young adult. Since then, I have been applying to various institutions and several scholarships. Some scholarships were not a success; however, I have gotten into five institutions with merit-based scholarship offerings. I have applied for fine arts courses. My goal is to become an art-therapist. I was inspired to help others through my artistic skills, and to make an impact on other's mental helped. Along with teaching them how to be creative, have good cognition skills, and to be ready to challenge yourselves. I have been thinking about other possible career choices involving a fine arts degree, even during my graduation. Moreover, I thought about how I got here. Not through my academic achievements, but with dedication and diligence. Therefore, for me, both success and victory have to be attainable when you are willing to make mistakes and do your best in anything you do. No matter how hard it is, it will be worth it if it means it helped you accomplished something. Right now, my goal is to become an art-therapist and to be able to help others with their goals. I hope this explains why I am fit for this scholarship.

When I was little, I loved to draw pictures of everything or anyone. This was around the time when I discovered my love for music. When I was ten years old, I would make paper dolls. I did not get what paper dolls were at the time, so I just started to draw people from paper and then cut them out. On that note, my love for music was discovered when I was about eight of nine years old. My family and I had a game Wii at our house, and my favorite game was called "Just Dance 3''. It was game where you had to mimic the dance moves on the screen. It was really fun dancing to songs. Along with singing with them. Some of the songs on "Just Dance 3" or "Just Dance 4" really created tons of colorful and expressive imaginations in my mind. I felt bubbly and happy when I just got to dance and sing to those songs. Now, during my middle school years, I started to play cello in the orchestra. I felt that playing an instrument can bring me closer to music than I was before. Then, I started to play it throughout middle school. After middle school ended, I was introduced to painting. This was around the time when COVID-19 hit; moreover, when I was about to start my freshman year of high school. My love for art expanded when I was in my art class, virtually speaking. My teacher discussed on art generalization, such as how art can help you, how many ways art can express emotions, and cultural values. Clearly, I was intrigued by this new discover, and it made me love art even more. So, my parents got me various paint sets and a huge sketch book. I have been drawing various animations while being trapped at home during COVID-19. Honestly, it felt cozy and relaxing to draw every day. Now, after COVID-19 ended, during my sophomore year of high school, I have gotten attached to musicals through animatics from YouTube. It started out from me being bored at home one day, so I decided to go on YouTube to see something interesting. Then I came across an animatic of this musical called "Hamilton." The graphics along with the song itself drew me in. And I have been a fan of musicals ever since. Now, who has inspired me to purse music/arts? First, it was my parents who pursue my love for music/arts.

My name is Madison Denise Simpson. I am eighteen years old. I am a senior and I attend at the First Assembly Christian School. I am a Christian. I have a 4.0 GPA and I made an eighteen on my ACT last year. I always been diligent when it comes to schoolwork and helping my family at home. I live with my parents and little brother. I love to draw and paint, especially painting This year, I am applying to major in studio arts, art education, and fine arts. I plan to make a positive impact on the world through my art by helping others reach their full potential and gain understanding of various arts. I identify myself as an African American citizen and a Christian. I have been reading the Bible to understanding my religious values, as I am preparing myself to go to college. I live in Cordova, Tennessee. I live with my parents and my little brother. My favorite foods are ice cream, pizza, quesadillas, nachos, chocolate, and pineapple. My favorites restaurants are "Pacific Fusion", and "Chill's." My hobbies are drawing, painting, baking, and creative writing. I love to watch anime on the weekends. And every day when I get a chance to after school. My favorite holiday is Christmas. My other hobbies are reading mystery and suspense novels. Along with watching mystery, suspense, and thriller movies. Sometimes horror films when I feel like it. Every Sunday, I have been taking up piano classes for a year now. Learning about playing the piano came easy to me since I already learned how to read music when I was in orchestra. During my junior and senior year of high school, I have volunteered for a church organization called "Finding a Way Out Ministery" sponsored by Chick-Fila Leadership program. This program is about helping young women get out of prostitution. Right now, I am currently applying for scholarships to financially support me in college. I plan on taking classes in Fine Arts. This scholarship can support my education goals by helping me relieve from financial stress through college. Along with allowing me not to have to rely on student loans.

Zendaya is an icon within the generation. She is an actor, singer, fashion icon, and activist. She has been around for younger generations. She appears to be on two Disney shows "Shake it off" and "Undercover K.C.". She also featured in several movies such as "Dune", "Spiderman far from Home", "Spiderman Homecoming", "The Greatest Showman" and "Challengers." Along with an aspiring and well-known series "Euphoria". She has been inspiration to me for a while. She has multifaceted career such as acting, singing, hosting, fashion model, and being an aspiring activist. She has received numerous awards for her talents in movies and series. Since she was invested in her multifaceted career, people have looked up to her due to her being famous in her areas of her career. Which aspect her multifaceted career do I admire the most and why? There are two aspects of her multifaceted career I admire. These two aspects are activism and fashion. These two aspects are the ones that I admire the most because they helped created a statement for women and brings empowerment to them. For her activism career, she has brought awareness to social issues such as LGBTQ+, feminism, and mental health. The topic mental health has mainly appeared in her well-known series "Euphoria" as it revolves around mental health and promote awareness of it those who've experience it. Or to those who are still experiencing it. Now, for her fashion career, I admire her fashion career because her fashion represents her in more ways than one. It doesn't have to represent one thing; it can represent her colorful personality. And it shows that young women can express themselves through clothing.

First off, anime has always been my favorite things to watch on the weekends. I even attempted to draw anime characters. Or rather create my own anime characters. I have various favorite anime I love to watch. Whether it be a show or movie. Anyway, my favorite anime series are Demon Slayer, yugioh Five D's, and Yugioh Zexal. There are other anime series I like to watch. But for now, these are the current anime series that I admired the most. For instance, Yugioh Five D's and Yugioh Zexal are a part of the Yugioh Dueling verse. Along with older series such as Yugioh and YugiohGX. And new series such as Yugioh ArcV and Yugioh Varian's. What makes it captivating to me? There are multiple attributes that makes this series so captivating. Like the characters developments throughout these two yugioh series. My favorite character development was of Carly Carmine in Yugioh5D's. She was just a clumsy yet hard working journalist at first. But when she met Jack Atlas in season one, she started to develop a strong sense of confidence in herself. Also, that fact that her two duels with Sayer impacted the fact that she felt confident in her duel abilities. And after she became a dark signer and was defeated by Jack Atlas, she realizes she has made an impact on those around. As well as Shark's character development in Yugioh Zexal. He was a bully at first, but after being defeated by Yuma in the first episode, he had a change of heart throughout the series in general. Now, Demon Slayer is one of the most eye-captivating series on my part. What makes Demon Slayer so captivating to me is not just the characters' development but the exhilarating animations and graphics. Each character has a tragic backstory that somewhat defines them, but also promotes self-growth and development within them. That is what make this series so captivating because each character has their own strengths and weaknesses. Along with character designs. In the Entertainment District Arc of Demon Slayer, the design of Nezuko's demonic transformation was my favorite. I literally symbolize her growth and her powerful resilience.

My name is Madison Denise Simpson. I like reading books. My favorite book genres are mystery, suspense, thrillers, and crime. Sometimes I prefer reading comic books by my favorite author Raina Telgemeier. This is my first time hearing about "#BookTok community". Right now, I just research what "#BookTok" was and what was it about. As I searched further, I fell in love with it. Being inspired by books and being able review, our favorite books is really wholesome and terrific. Because when we share about what books helps us learn and grow, it feels encouraging to read for yourself. For me, when I share about my favorite book genres, I feel like expressing myself as well as my character traits to others. Anyways, how to describe my ideal bookshelf? Sometimes this question pops into my head whenever I read a book. My ideal bookshelf would base on mystery and thriller novels. Novel recommendations such as "Verity" by Collen Hoover and "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" by Holly Jackson. Both are must-haves for me because they're psychological thrillers. Hence, my ideal bookshelf would be considered of mystery, suspense, and thriller. The novel "Verity" was considered as "compulsively readable suspense" while "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" was considered "adrenaline-rushing, stomach-turning novel that's hard to put down with a modern-day Nancy Drew vibe crossed with the Serial podcast." Hence, my ideal bookshelf revolves around the plot of innocent young teenagers looking for purpose in their lives, until their lives change drastically due to sinister events. Such as murder, abductions, deceit, and other gory topics. However, the character race against time to find the culprit or culprits while finding their own identities. The characters of my ideal bookshelf are teenagers of different races with different values, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic, sexual orientation, and social background. The writing style within my ideal bookshelf is descriptive. To evoke intense emotions and imagination to the readers. The themes in my ideal bookshelf are crimes of passion, resilience, identity, and murder. These books, from the recommendation on "#BookTok" have provoke me to learn about suspense and mystery. Along with a deeper meaning in the psychological mindset of our minds. These books have caught my attention to why certain events happen to good people. They provoked puzzlement and enjoyment to me because I get to explore different mindsets of our actions and why we choose to make those choices. These titles have made an impact on "#BookTok Community" by introducing modern-day suspense into literature and the psychological depth of the human mind mix with modern trends.

My name is Madison Denise Simpson. I am senior at First Assembly Christian School, and I graduate for the class of 2024. This year, I am applying to major in studio arts, art education, and fine arts. I dream of becoming an artist. Actually, an art therapist. I chose this career because I believe and know that I can use my artistic skills to promote creativity in others. Also learning how to pursue art helps with developing good skills in beauty, communication, self-expression, and seeking out historical context of the arts. It can help others reach their full potential as newborn artists and gain understanding of various arts. It also helps them understand how to explore the opportunities into learning about artworks from various eras, along with artists. Therefore, I chose to pursue my career in Art Therapy because creating art can help those to express creativity and recovery from mental health problems through pursuing art. Such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and other various media. Consequently, this led to this question "why my career choice excites me?" This career excites me because I get an opportunity to justify how art can be pursued as a career, along with enjoying my passion for it. While using my artistic skills to serve my community for others. My career in arts can make a positive impact on others. I hope to inspire others to pursue their goals and dreams. I also hope to impact those to be diligent and hopeful every day when there are challenges in life. Making an impact not just for yourself, but for others who needs someone to empower them. Having the ability to empower someone is special. Especially when someone has never been empowered to doing something meaningful for themselves or others. Empowerment allows people to be confident in what they do every day. It allows them to be confident in who they are. To me, empowerment can be used to help others around you. Everyone deserves to be empowered by something or someone. That includes men, women, children, and elderly. Women do not have unlimited opportunities as men do. That's why women's encouragement is important support this matter. How do I plan to support women's empowerment? I plan to use my diligence in my arts education, while upholding my Christian faith when something goes wrong to one day impact women to never give up on their goals or dreams. Also, I plan to use my career choice to help women with mental health issues by using art to promote stress-relieve. And new creative ways of thinking about their future.

Right now, I have been recently applying to different scholarships to help me achieve my artistic. My goal is to get into a respectable university that can encourage and support my dreams.

In 2023, in art class, I created a piece called "A Portrait within a Portrait". It was an idea that my art teacher assigned in class. It consisted of a portrait of our choosing. We had to paint a painting of our choice. As in painting it in exact detail. Then, after we finish painting our pictures, we have to draw ourselves painting the picture, then paint it. Finally, after we finish painting ourselves, we have to paint the artwork we have chosen. This project demonstrates an elusive yet creative perspective that viewers can take a long look at and think about it. The project was about us painting inside of an inside. Again, it brings out an elusive effect. Hence, this is my favorite piece I have created because of portrait I chose to paint. The portrait I chose to paint was a white owl with blue specs because the colors blending together, along tint shading brought out blue specs of the painting. It also made the colors of the owl's feathers pop out, whereas viewers can notice it right away.

Actually, in the studio arts. Over this year, I have discovered various careers that require an art degree. However, I have had doubts about my future. When I turned eighteen, I became anxious about life. How I can I get through this without a plan, or goals. But I do plan on making effort in order to succeed. My career in arts can make positive impact on others. Different art medias have made a positive impact on my life because they show that I can achieve my goals one step at a time. No matter how hard things get. I create something with diligence and effort. So, how do I plan to use my art career to make a positive impact? First off, I am planning to become an art therapist.

The book I recommend reading to everyone is the Bible. The Bible contains various stories leading to Jesus Christ. In addition, it explains events leading up to our modern-day belief in Christianity. Stories of the Old Testament and New Testament can reach others who do not know Christ or Christianity in general. The Bible describes the story of Christ through various scriptures such as Law, history, poetry, Prophecy, Gospel, and Letters. The Old Testament of the Bible contains Law, History, Poetry and Prophecy. While the New Testament contains the books of the Gospel and Letters. The Bible is one huge story with thousands of stories in it. Why I recommend that everyone should read the Bible? Well, first off, I'm not rushing or judging anyone who has other religious beliefs. But reading the Bible could imply a new perspective about us. And about our worldviews. The reason why I recommend the everyone should the Bible because the Bible contains stories that relates to real life situations we face today in our modern culture. In the Old Testament, the stories in it can help us reflect on our actions by using the past's actions as a reference of what is right and wrong. In the New Testament, the stories can help us understand the story of Christ, and how his actions can teach us to be better in God's image. Reading Bible can promote new ideas about our worldview and about ourselves as we continue to live on this earth every day.

My choice to pursue art has always been to express my emotions through vivid colors. At first, I thought I was going to get into art because it was "easy." However, the reasons why I now chose to pursue in art because I hope to encourage someone to paint something that resembles them. To understand why art exists. I have been recently applying to different scholarships to help me achieve my artistic. My goal is to get into a respectable university that can encourage and support my dreams. Another reason why I have chosen to pursue art because it allows me to able to experience issues that I have never encountered before. It also allows me to enjoy my own creativity, without no one judging me. I took art classes during my freshmen, sophomore, junior, and I am recently taking art class now during my senior of high school. Pursuing art helps me develop good skills in beauty, communication, self-expression, and to seek out historical context of the arts. It can help me reach my full potential as a newborn artist and gain understanding of various arts. I also want to explore the opportunities into learning about artworks from various eras, along with artists. I can allow to experiment on newfound medias that I have never tried before. I can be able to understand how different art media influenced culture, politics, aesthetics, and historical values. I believe art can help people explore different world views outside our values and ethnics. I chose to pursue art because I want to use it to make a change, not just to myself, but for worthy causes such equality, identity crisis, and so much more. Art inspires me every day since I can remember. However, there are various things that inspires me artistically. Such as being able to dive deeper into what I am creating. To push myself to new opportunities. To know that I am creative when it comes to experimenting with different medias. I am inspired by everything around me. I am inspired by colorful, cultural aesthetics, memorable historic figures, and outside the box thinking. Another thing that inspires me artistically is my perspective of the world. It helps me create the beauty that Christ created in all of us, including myself. Lastly, I am inspired to better myself everyday by painting and hopefully inspire someone else who is also interested in art.

My name is Madison Simpson, and I am a senior in high school. Throughout my life, I have been driven to do my best at everything I do. So, what does empowerment mean to me? Empowerment to me can change yourself completely, whether it was a small or big change. To me, empowerment means several different things. Empowerment means to be able to achieve something meaningful. To be strong. It is a tool for me to do something greater than what I am expected to do. It gives me a chance to improve myself in some areas. To me, empowerment is way to inspire those who never even heard of it. To me, empowerment is not something that is materialistic, but an ability to strength yourselves. It can help you realize that you are worthy and amazing. No matter what happens to you, whether you did or said something wrong, having the ability to be empower by things you can do. Empowerment allows people to be confident in what they do every day. It allows them to be confident in who they are. To me, empowerment can be used to help others around you. Whether it's at work, at home, at school, or anywhere. Empowerment is about helping others when they do not have help at all. To help empower someone is giving them hope in what they're trying to achieve. Giving love and faith in something they are willing to accomplish. To me, empowerment should be express to those who need it. Who needs someone to be there for them. To strengthen their hearts, minds, and dreams. Empowerment can encourage anyone, men, women, children, and elderly. It can encourage those to work harder, be faithful, and to stay strong when any challenges come their way. What does empowerment mean to me? To me, empowerment means to encourage, not just yourself to do your best, but to encourage others as well. No matter what occurs. Empowerment has drastically changed my life for the better. It helped me gained self- confidence in how I am. Empowerment has affected my life by allowing to work hard, staying focused, and to dream big every day. It also gave me a new perspective of life as well such as to never lose a positive attitude. Not only did it encourage me to do better, not just for myself, but to help others as well.

My name is Madison Simpson. I am a senior in high school. I attend FACS and I am a Christian. I never expected to make it through life like this. I did not comprehend on who Jesus was when I was little. I did not have faith in Christ started when I was a child. My parents took me to church every Sunday. I didn't have the right grasp of Christianity at the time. Over time, it started to deteriorate when I was in middle school. I was surrounded by an unhealthy environment, which made me believe there was nothing good about people. There was nothing right about me. At the beginning of my freshmen year in high school, my dad bought a girl's devotional book for me. I was curious at the time to see why everyone saw in Jesus. I started to read a little devotional verse, but it didn't satisfy my relationship with Christ. During the end of my freshmen year of high school, my parents suggested that attend FACS or First Assembly Christian School with my little brother. I felt a little hesitant about transferring to another school, in the middle of the school year. However, my mom mention that FACS has more Christ like environment. I also recalled my dad's words on how FACS was a nicer environment than public school. I took some time to think about my parents' suggestion. Eventually, I made my decision in transferring to FACS. Since then, my relationship with Jesus has been improving. Not only has transferring to FACS heighten my faith in Jesus, but I started to believe amazing things Jesus did for us. My relationship with Jesus has made a huge impact on my faith by allowing me to attend church with my family, on special occasion and opening to the Lord during chapel at school. It also made me read and indulge in the Bible every day. I have used my faith in Christ to work hard every day at school. To work hard in order to better myself every day. Not just to work hard for myself, but to work better with people around me. To be obedient in his name, to use the wisdom that I have obtain to do good in his name, and to always put the Lord first in my life. And to always have positive attitude and faith in Jesus when things get rough.
