Prairie Meadows Scholarship

It’s been a subject of news reports both local and national: the opiate drug epidemic in central and northeast Pennsylvania is skyrocketing and Geisinger Marworth is stepping in to do something about it.

Athletics has helped shape who I am as a student and as a person. To be selected for the Carl Montavon Memorial Scholarship would be a great honor that I would feel privileged to receive. Carl Montavon was a huge supporter of athletics among high school students, and I am as well for multiple reasons. Not only have the sports that I have participated in helped me physically and socially, but educationally as well. Participating in multiple sports helped motivate me to keep up my GPA for future college recruiting, and fueled my competitive drive into striving and succeeding to become valedictorian of my high school’s graduating class. Athletics taught me responsibility and respect. Not only do I value others opinions, but I make sure

Give back to the school beyond the classroom. The school is a community, just like the classroom should be. One of the best ways to make that community more beneficial to all its members is to give back. Outstanding teachers know this and put it into practice, whether it is coaching a sport, volunteering with PTO activities, serving on a committee, or supporting other teachers.

I give back to my community by collecting and donating canned goods to my local food bank. I understand the situation from those that need it because my family has had times where we needed the

I do many severces to my community. I give money and support PETA against animal cruelty. I donate to many organizations such as Doctors Without Borders and St.Jude's

If I was going to receive the Prairie Meadow Scholarship, it would allow me to pay for my college tuition, and architecture classes to further pursue to achieve a associates at DMACC and a masters in Iowa State University. The colleges I would appreciate attending are Iowa State University and DMACC. It would take away a lot of stress and anxiety towards the high cost of college tuition, books, paying for classes.

As a developing and growing student, I realize that I need a plan for success, even though that plan may change. At Indiana University Bloomington, I plan to study in the School of Art and Design in order to eventually become an interior designer. While I may change my career choice and area of study, my drive and dedication to achieve excellence will never waver. However, that does not mean that I will not face challenges along the way.

A boy from the war torn LEBRON JAMES, LEBRON JAMES, steps foot in, the United States on September 9, 2008. Knowing no english at all, he begins the journey of his new life. He is 8 years old and traveled with his mother, LEBRON JAMES; father, LEBRON JAMES; older brother, LEBRON JAMES; and sisters, LEBRON JAMES and LEBRON JAMES. We have just recently gotten an immigration scholarship that gave them the opportunity for a better life, in the United States.

“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me, and not terrify me”. This quote, by Ellis Ross, paints a very good image of how I want to take on these next few weeks of the Summer Transition Program. I have always wanted to be a better student than I actually am, but my disabilities influenced my studies immensely. I am currently diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, depression, and anxiety. Struggling in high school has only encouraged me to continue my education at UW-Whitewater to reach my goals. After graduating college, I hope to work with adolescents who have the same issues as me, or to work in an area similar to child protective services. My disabilities have held me back in high school in multiple ways, but I am very grateful to have the opportunity at UW-Whitewater to work past my difficulties in more areas than just education. Although I have weaknesses, I take pride in my reading skills, writing ability, and social dexterity.

In 2012, about 5.9 million children were admitted into the hospital in the United States. When a child is admitted into the hospital, on average, they have a longer stay than adults. Being admitted in the hospital for an extended period as a child, creates obstacles to have a positive outlook on life. It is hard for parents to be able to take that much time off of work to be there to comfort and support their child. I would like to have the Prairie Meadows Scholarship to help children that have be in the hospital for extensive periods of time, have a better, more positive outlook on life.

I am not quite sure what I want to do. I will be going to BONDS next year, and get my degree for esthetics. I plan to do esthetics on the side after high school, and continue my job where I work now, at Culver’s of Greer. I love this job and until I know for sure what I will be doing, I plan to still work there. My parents didn’t go to college, but I want to prove to them that I can be responsible and follow through with a large achievement. I would love to be an author, and I plan to take that at Greenville Tech and afterwards, got to a four-year college, such as, North Greenville University. Unless, my career with esthetics pays off. I also thought about being a lawyer. I want to make enough money to be able to gain custody of my younger brother, Brayden.

I am applying for the Twin Star Scholarship because I have recently returned to college. Currently, in my family, including myself, there are four college students. One of the main reasons that I have hesitated in returning back to school to pursue my bachelor’s degree is because of the financial strain that will be placed on my family finances. I have always felt that it would be responsible to wait until my family is in a better financial place before going back to school. The reality is, college tuition is expensive and it will put a strain on our family finances no matter when I decide to go back. Receiving this scholarship will help alleviate a portion of that family financial strain that tuition, books, and fees will

My career goals are to start a business and to be able to maintain it through my expertise that I learned at The Art Institute of Indianapolis. Through the Art Institute I will learn the skills to better understand the field of work that I am interested in; Including things such as communication skills, time management, technical competency, and above all else the ability to work with co-workers. The Art Institute is a great place to learn all those skills and many more, giving me everything I need to have a successful business. In order to be successful I must have two things, determination and persistence. Without those things I will fall short of my goals.

My community has done so much for me. Giving back to my community is the least I could do for what all it has done for

In my last year of L.Arch Undergraduate program, I started to think of what my future plan is, and what I want to achieve in my life in Landscape Architecture. I realized I have goals which can be achieved and dreams that can only be achieved through hard work and luck. To further elaborate, I will categorize them into short term goal, long term goal and advocator.
