Bio

My name is Tiffany Wilson and currently, I’m a teacher’s assistant, bus monitor, and lunch/recess monitor in Elmsford New York. I work in Academic Intervention Services with third, fourth, and six graders with reading and writing. My two main responsibilities are to make sure all the children are safe and make sure they work hard to succeed academically. I have a masters in school counseling and I truly enjoy working with children. I believe it’s never too late to further your education and learn new things. This is the reason why I am returning to Empire State College for a certificate in Crisis Intervention and Prevention. The program grabbed my attention and I believe this program will help open a variety of doors. I will be better able to help the students I work with. We all go through challenges in our lives, and it is important to know that someone is there to support and motivate us, and not judge us. I want to be their support system and someone they can look up to. I want to be someone they trust and rely on.

    Ms. Susy’s Disney Character Scholarship
    My favorite Disney character is princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. I love her character because she’s very caring, loyal,5 and kind to animals and humans alike. She doesn’t judge people and she’s a great story teller. I can relate to her in many different ways. I’m a very caring person. I care for my family and the children I work with everyday. I am loyal and kind to my family and friends. Being kind to people makes me happy and puts a smile on my face. Sleeping Beauty is my all time favorite Disney movie. I like the idea of princess Aurora living in a beautiful castle but also staying in the forest with her three fairy god mothers. Her family did everything they could to keep her safe. Even though it was hard for her parents to send her away, they knew it was the best thing to do. Aurora made the forest her new home. Even the animals wanted her to be happy. I like the fact she fell in love with the prince, she was destined to be with from the start. True love always prevails.
    Lifelong Learning Scholarship
    Learning is important because it’s fundamental and can lead to positive changes in your life. The world is full of interesting things that we still don’t understand yet. It’s never to late to gain more knowledge on things we as people love to do. One day I would love to travel to Italy and learn how to zip line. These are things I have to learn more about and I must do research to see how to plan these things accordingly. If I do go to Italy one day, I will have to learn their language to communicate with them better, try different foods and learn about the different tourist attractions. With zip lining, I have to research the closet zip lining place near me. I would also want to learn about how to stay safe while zip lining. Learning new things makes me happy and improves me self esteem. If I put my mind to something, I know I can do it. I plan on learning and growing more in my life. I have a Masters degree in School Counseling and I am going back to college to learn about crisis intervention and prevention. Learning about crisis will help me to understand how to help people in certain situations. It will help me to be more aware of how to support and care for people in distress and provide me with methods of how to prevent crisis. I want to continue to full my brain with knowledge and with things I am passionate about. Learning new things gives me a feeling of accomplishment and it boosts my confidence to explore more things. This will help me to assist others anywhere I choose to go or work.
