      Brynn Elliott "Tell Me I’m Pretty" Scholarship
      My mother by far is the best and most influential person in my life. She inspires me in so many ways I couldn’t ever imagine. Not only does my mom influence me in the way she dresses, looks, and holds herself but she influences me in the way she raised my sister and I. She has done her absolute best to give us both what we want and give us the best possible life. I am inspired to be at least half the woman she is today. She is so giving, puts others before her, and goes out of her way to make everything right. My mom has taught me to treat others the right way and to be myself no matter what. Because of her, she is the reason I want to major in business, get married, have kids and live the life she has been living and to inspire my kids one day like she has inspired myself. I will carry the life lessons that she has taught me into my career field by pushing myself to the best of my ability and to always be proud of myself no matter what happens. With me majoring in business and wanting to open up my own boutique, that means I have to work with people and express the style that I have. Hopefully I will be able to influence them and be able to make them feel confident in their own body’s. I want to teach others everything my mother has taught me because it is something special. My mother is the best thing that I have ever been given and I am so proud to be able to say that. I am the loving, caring and strong woman today because of her. She influenced me to be independent, confident, and how to set goals to be a strong woman and I will forever be reminded of that.
      Pettable Pet Lovers Scholarship
      My dog is a Shih Tzu and her name is Kylee. She is very boujee and loves her pup cups from Starbucks. Along with Starbucks she enjoys sleeping in her fluffy bed everyday. This is her safe place. She acts and is treated like a princess. We love her like she is one of us. She is somewhat picky when it comes to eating. She likes whenever we put human food on her dog food, I mean what dog doesn't? Her favorite human food is cheese but enjoys my pop tart crust that I eat in the mornings.
      Act Locally Scholarship
      A specific change that I would love to see happen in my community would be to stop littering. Not only would I love to see this happen within my community but also around the world. Littering makes the world around us look trashy and it is not a good look for anything. Not to mention you can be fined for littering, so you are also breaking a law. With everything going on around us the least we could do is keep our community and country clean. There are people that take time out of their day to go clean up the streets, parks, etc. They clean up other people's mess and that is not how this should work. There are plenty of trash cans everywhere that you can put your trash into. You do not need to throw it out of the window as soon as your done with it. The older I get the more I realize how bad this affects our community and not just people but animals as well. They are countless animals that get hurt every day because of the decisions people make to throw their trash on the ground. Animals could get their heads stuck in jars, they could even suffocate or starve to death due to them not being able to get their heads out. Littering can also choke or cause fatal stomach problems to the wildlife. Littering can also lead to soil, water, and air pollution. The soil absorbs the toxins that the liter creates, which then affects the plants and crops. This can also stunt a plant's growth and cause the crops to thrive in failure. The way I would act to locally make a difference would be to start a club or individually go around and clean up the trash myself. Another way could be to simply make sure that all the trash cans are secure so that way the wind will not be able to pick up the waste and carry it away. I could host a community clean up day either once a month or however much is needed. I could slowly spread the word and educate others on what littering truly is and how we need to stop this from happening. As for the world or change in the country, you could easily start a group within your family even friends and Strat creating an organization, which will easily take off because most people also agree with this certain community issue and would be very content to notice a change. Littering is nothing but a piece of waste that has been disposed of by lazy humans in the wrong place. This means throwing away objects on the ground or leaving them by lying on the ground instead of simply throwing them away in the trash can. Liter can be very dirty and not pleasant for the community. This is bad for the environment and it needs to be fixed. I am super excited to start this around my community and slowly watch as it progresses around the world.
      COVID-19 Perspective Scholarship
      After the entire world getting hit by COVID-19 everything will soon change. Matter of fact, most of it has already changed. School is online, Parents are working from home, you can not eat in fast food restaurants. So much has changed within a year of this pandemic and there is still more to come whether you like it or not. As for education purposes I believe that eventually kids will be able to go back to school and everything will be some what normal again. But now that they know kids can do schooling from home, they will always give the option to kids to stay home and be all remote. This still makes it harder for teachers to teach both in class and remote, which maybe they might start hiring all remote teachers and then just in school teachers to make it easier for them. Next, for healthcare I am not sure what will happen with this. I feel as if it will still stay busy and we will always be in need of nurse. They might even start building more hospitals since they have seen how easily it can be to run out of room, just by being effected by a pandemic. Healthcare will always be around and we will always be in need of it no matter what comes our way. No matter what the world faces we will never be prepared for it. You always have to expect the unexpected and be flexible with different situations that you are in. Education will always be changing as for healthcare too. As the future comes upon us there will be new things released and different ways to do things but it will always come down to how you do it and how comfortable you are with it.
