I think I should be offered the KISD Education Foundation scholarship opportunity due to my strong commitment to the fine arts and my desire to preserve them from the likes of public schools' budget cuts. The preservation of the future fine arts is a topic that is one of the most passionate for me to speak on due to my yearning to continue to spread its gift to new generation of students. Schools around the country continually attempt at cutting fine arts to balance school budgets, but this cannot be allowed to happen.

Hi, I’m Logan Morris and I have been a part of the Perry County FFA chapter for the past 4 years. I have been very involved in the FFA competing in several contests, helping Ms. Cindy with the truck and tractor pulls and the Easter egg hunts, and even going to forestry camp. I have competed in the Envirothon, horse judging, and land judging. My group was lucky enough to even come in third place in land judging. I have been blessed to receive my Greenhand Degree, Chapter Degree, and even my State Degree.

If it wasn’t for the FFA I would have never met all the people I have and formed friendships that will last a lifetime.

Thankfully, this decision led me to the precious self-taught skill of time management. I was able to build my skills until my sophomore year. I tried to take on more shifts at work than I could handle, in aspiration of saving up for a car, and consequently my grades began to slip. I acquired my first C in my favorite class: Chemistry.
