The field of psychology is one of the most diverse fields that continue to expand and branch out into a plethora of distinguishing subfields; some subfields include retail marketing, legal work, social work and education (Sternberg, 2007).

The future; after high school, after college, the future is a later time period that will happen in one’s life. For my future I plan to attend college and later become an engineer. College is one of the best choices available for high school graduates to ensure a successful future. Colleges offer specialized learning that when attended can open many opportunities.

My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction. The days were long and I wasn’t sure I still had the self-discipline and determination that would be needed to finish. Over the last eight weeks, this class gave me numerous opportunities to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. This class has given me the necessary skills to continue toward completing my degree.

I believe that I am a good candidate for the Amy L. McKee-Everett Memorial Scholarship due to my caring and loving nature. An excellent example would be the time I gave back to Flat Rock River YMCA Camp this year, during New Years Eve. I volunteered as a counselor to a group of amazing girls. I wanted to volunteer my time, seeing that Flat Rock had done so much for me, in my seven years as a camper. It was time to give back. The 53 hours of time I spent helping out with all the girls, was immensely rewarding. I wouldn't trade my experiences I have had with Flat Rock River YMCA Camp for the world. This experience made me a better person, and will carry over into my undergraduate years of college. I am going into my freshman year bearing skills

I have lived in West Liberty all my life, with my parents Corie and Ronda Peterson and my younger sister Morgan. I love golfing especially with my friends and family as well as spending time outdoors in the summer. My mother is my biggest inspiration because while she was fighting cancer she not only stayed strong for my sister and I but also she has taught me to be strong and to believe in who I am and who I will become. I am extremely excited to be furthering my education at Mount Mercy University to become a neonatal nurse, this scholarship will help me with my financial insecurities making me more confident to pursue my dreams.

Texas A&M constantly reminds me and encourages the students to be a part of something bigger than themselves. This is important because it gives each student a feeling of responsibility to leave this campus better than they found it. At most colleges the students only have the common ground of attending the same university, however at Texas A&M its more than just a university but rather a family. This is one of the major aspects that brought me to A&M, I had heard about the Aggie family and how it is unlike any other college in the nation. In my years here, I have experienced the Aggie family and watched how strangers are bonded just knowing they make up a family together. Each member of a family has responsibilities to help out and serve their

The Grays Harbor Community Foundation Scholarship hasn't just helped my education but it has helped me achieve my dream of going to college. Without the scholarship I don't know how I would have came up with the money to pay for college, and for that I am grateful.

I have spent a great deal of time researching the college that would fit my lifestyle and able to offer tailored programs to fit me. Finally, I decided on Empire State College (ESC), the reason being, ESC’s capability to work in the capacity that I am seeking. The fact that ESC also has a great Military/Veteran program is an enormous plus, and something that I require in a college. Another feature that drove my decision to apply is I will have the opportunity to gain credits from my life experiences. This is a remarkable feature. I have always held the belief that the experience one gains in their career is just as, and at times more, valuable as what one receives in a classroom.

Upon visiting the campus, the sprawling Green lawns and Gothic- style Architecture captivated me. I felt suddenly at home. The close-knit community, wonderful Scottie sisters, and the great town of Decatur made the college much more inviting. I chose to apply to Agnes Scott because of the rigorous academics, the exciting Study Abroad activities both domestic and international, and the extremely dedicated professors who truly value you and your education. Agnes Scott is full of strong, female leaders who show empowerment and a community of unity. I truly believe that Agnes Scott is a college that will change my

Johns Creek is the city of differentiated diversity. With cozy Korean bakeries, grand Indian corner stores, and delectable Japanese restaurants, Johns Creek provides an environment for every culture to feel at home in. Although there are many cultures, everyone is scrunched up together in the city, allowing citizens to feel welcomed. I feel safe in my community and school. Johns Creek is a habitat for many minorities and prejudiced culture who seek haven. 54% of my school constitutes of different cultures allowing me to assimilate other cultures and their interests; however, when I visited Emory for a college visit, I realized that it is not so different from home. The first thing I noticed on the pavement was the words of “Korean Culture Club”
