I have a clear vision of my future academic and professional pursuits, and I believe that I am an ideal candidate for scholarship opportunities. My plan is to attend the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts to obtain my associates degree in film, followed by pursuing my bachelors degree from either NYU or The New School in New York. My ultimate goal is to become an artist who creates art that fosters more understanding and empathy in an often unkind world. This is what I am most passionate about.
I have always had a love for literature and have published my own writings, which I plan to continue doing in the future. I have also performed in plays and Improv works, which has been an incredible experience. The arts have always been an important part of my life, and I know that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I have big dreams, and I plan to work hard to achieve them. I believe that I have the potential to make a significant impact in the world through my art, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to make that happen. I am excited about the future and all of the possibilities that it holds.

Terry Masters Memorial Scholarship
As an artist, I find inspiration in the everyday world around me, particularly in the colors of nature and the unique faces of people. The colors of nature are beautiful and extraordinary, and they provide an endless source of inspiration for my work. The unique faces of people are also fascinating and inspiring, as they offer a glimpse into the diversity and complexity of human experience.
One of the things that I find most inspiring about nature is the wide range of colors that exist in the natural world. From the vibrant reds and oranges of a sunset to the cool blues and greens of a forest, nature is full of rich and dynamic hues. These colors are not only beautiful but also serve a purpose in the natural world, such as attracting pollinators or warning predators. As an artist, I aim to capture the vibrancy and complexity of these colors in my work, creating pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful.
Another aspect of the everyday world that inspires me is the unique faces of people. Each person's face is a reflection of their individuality and life experience. From the lines and wrinkles that come with age to the freckles and birthmarks that make each person unique, faces are a canvas of human experience. As an artist, I aim to capture the essence of these unique faces, creating pieces that celebrate the diversity and beauty of humanity.
In summary, the colors of nature and the unique faces of people are both beautiful and extraordinary subjects that inspire me as an artist. The rich colors of nature and the individuality of human faces are both aspects that I strive to capture in my work, creating pieces that celebrate the beauty and diversity of the everyday world around us.

Film and movies have the profound ability to capture and share moments that are often lost or forgotten. Through visual storytelling, they play an important role in society by preserving memories, sharing stories, and helping us to understand the world around us. As an aspiring filmmaker, I am passionate about the power of fine arts to connect people and to inspire empathy and understanding. I strive to create stories that touch people's hearts and help them see the world in a new way.
One example of the transformative power of film is the story of my mother, who, after the loss of my father, was struggling with grief and finding it difficult to find comfort. Her experience with the movie PS I Love You is a testament to the healing power of film. The movie helped her to process her emotions and find solace in the story of a woman who was also struggling with loss. The film provided her with a sense of connection and hope, and it helped her to see that she was not alone in her struggle.
Film and movies have a unique ability to shape our perception of the world and to influence our values and beliefs. They can inspire us to think more deeply about important issues, to question our assumptions, and to challenge our biases. As a filmmaker, I am passionate about creating stories that have a positive impact on society by promoting empathy, understanding, and social justice. I believe that film has the power to change hearts and minds and to inspire people to take action to create a better world.
One of the most exciting aspects of filmmaking is the collaborative nature of the process. Making a movie requires the talents and contributions of a diverse group of people, including writers, actors, directors, producers, and technicians. Each person brings their unique perspective and creativity to the project, and the end result is a product of the collective effort of the team. Collaboration is essential to the success of a film, and it is one of the things that I love most about this art form.
In addition to its artistic and cultural significance, film is also an important industry that generates significant economic activity and creates jobs. The film industry employs millions of people around the world, from actors and directors to camera operators and sound technicians. It also generates revenue for businesses that support the industry, such as equipment rental companies, post-production facilities, and marketing agencies. The film industry is a vital part of the global economy, and it plays an important role in creating jobs and driving economic growth.
This experience showed me firsthand the profound impact that movies and films can have on our lives. They have the power to help us process difficult emotions, find hope in times of despair, and connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges. As a filmmaker, I am driven to create stories that have the same transformative impact on others. I aspire to tell stories that are honest, and authentic, and that help people see the world in a new way. I believe that movies and film have the power to change lives, and I am excited to contribute to an industry that has the potential to make such a positive impact on the world.

As an aspiring novelist, I've found that one of the biggest challenges in the writing process is staying organized. When writing a novel, there are many different elements to keep track of, including character development, plot points, and setting details. To help myself stay organized, I've created a solution that I believe would help other writers as well.
Though I plan to go to school for acting, writing is something I will never leave. I write poetry, novels, and short stories. So I understand the difficulty of staying organized. I plan to create a mobile app that would allow writers to keep track of all the different elements of their novels in one place. The app would be designed to be easy to use, with a simple interface that would allow writers to quickly add and edit information.
The app would include features like character profiles, where writers could store information about each character, including their name, age, and backstory. It would also include a section for plot points, where writers could outline the major events of their story and keep track of where they are in the writing process.
In addition to these features, the app would also include a section for setting details. This would allow writers to keep track of important information about the world of their story, including locations, landmarks, and other key details.
Finally, the app would include a section for notes, where writers could jot down ideas, inspiration, and other thoughts related to their novel. This would help to ensure that writers don't forget any important details and that they have a place to capture ideas as they come to them. While being easy to use I want to ensure the app will be captivating and eye-catching so authors don't get bored with it. As someone with ADHD and Dyslexia, I understand the challenges of staying focused and struggling to stay connected to a piece of work and staying organized.
Overall, I believe that this app would be a valuable resource for writers of all levels. It would help to solve the problem of staying organized while writing a novel and would provide a centralized location for all the different elements of a story. With the right funding and resources, I believe that this app could help writers to create powerful stories that have the potential to change the world. Novels have the power to connect people across different cultures and backgrounds and to inspire empathy and understanding. By helping writers to stay organized and focused, this app could help to unlock the full potential of the written word.
