    Sunni E. Fagan Memorial Music Scholarship
    This scholarship will help me achieve my educational and career goals. I am currently working towards my bachelors degree in music production. Hopefully one day I can have and own my own production studio. I have been working hard to save up for college, but with the exorbitant costs of tuition, my part-time jobs haven’t been enough. I’m willing and able to do whatever I have to do to achieve my goals to take that first step to having a better life. I do wish to focus a lot of my time on my studies and I truly believe that This scholarship will help by lowering the costs of college and the amount of hours I’ll need to work throughout my studies. This way, I’ll be able to continue with my academic achievements as well as learning more and more about my craft. By receiving this scholarship it would help me with books, and it will also make a big difference in my education. I can solely think about how to pay back student loans. I would not have to stress my mother and other family members out about how I will pay for college without financial assistance. I truly without a doubt believe that if I am granted this scholarship, it will be the start to a brighter future in which I am hoping for and it will give me the greatest opportunity as far as being a music producer or Music director. If I am granted this opportunity, I would like to make a difference in society, my community, and others around me. I will study hard and never miss an assignment or indulge in anything that could possibly hinder me from getting my degree. Accomplishing these goals that I want to achieve and taking advantage of these scholarships being offered will give me the opportunity to be the first in my family to complete college and eventually become a great music mogul and musician that could in the future offer opportunities for other inspiring people to do the same. I pray that I can be an example to many of our youth who thinks it is impossible to excel. Hard work, determination, and great willpower is all that you need to be successful. I have been very diligent with getting the things done to further my education. My impossible turns into possible. I always ask God to guide me as I am getting through high school in order that I be destined for greatness. By me holding on to God’s unchanging hand that will be possible. So In conclusion, after achieving my goals, I plan to use my degree to better my family financially, and hopefully, it will inspire others in my family, and those around me to chase their dreams as well. Where I am from a lot of children cannot go to college or further their education because lack of funds, and they do not take advantage of scholarships offered to them, so I want to be the first to do so. This opportunity is so much-needed and I want to be one of those who could say I had the opportunity, and I took advantage of it. I plan on striving to excel, not to settle for anything less and I was told to be the change that you wish to see, but I know it all starts within me. The road is not going to be easy, but I am going try my best to make my family proud and set examples for those under me.

    James Lynn Baker II #BeACoffeeBean Scholarship
    Analyzing community problems is a way of thinking carefully about a problem or issue before acting on a solution. It first involves identifying reasons a problem exists and then, identifying possible solutions and a plan for improvement. For example, The downtown area of Malakoff Tx, where I live has a community that is slowly declining. Stores are closing, and moving out; no new stores are moving in. The people both young and old throughout the community want to revitalize that downtown, but the question remains, How should we do it? So I took initiative and got in touch with a few board members of the city and from what I gathered, we started thinking that We should start by analyzing why the decline is taking place, that is, why the problem is occurring. Without knowing causes, we cannot fix the problem. So Jumping in and trying to fix it without analysis can cause a bigger problem and waste resources. An in-depth analysis will lead to better long-run solutions. Having a plan of action is always better than taking a few random shots at the problem. If you know where you are going, you are more likely to get there. Having a deeper understanding of a problem before you start trying to solve it helps you cover all of your bases. There's nothing worse for member involvement and morale than beginning to work on a problem, and running up against lots of obstacles, especially when they are avoidable. When you take a little time to examine a problem first, you can anticipate some of these obstacles before they come up, and give yourself and your members better odds of coming up with a successful solution. The ultimate goal is to understand the problem better and to deal with it more effectively, so the method you choose should accomplish that goal. 1. Justify the choice of the problem. 2. Frame the problem. 3. Identify whose behavior and/or what and how environmental factors need to change for the problem to begin to be solved. 4. Analyze the root causes of the problem. 5. Identify the restraining and driving forces that affect the problem. 6. Find any relationships that exist among the problem you’re concerned with and others in the community. So with all that in mind, I began to develop a strategic plan that spoke to the real causes of the problem and focused on those targets and/or agents of change that were most likely the answer to contributing to the improvement of the situation. So in conclusion, we as a community have begun to put these plans into action to ensure a better future.
