Currently, my educational goals are to earn my majors in Commercial Photography and Secondary Education. I feel that this scholarship will help me to achieve my academic desires by giving me the ability to purchase the equipment and tools I need, but cannot afford.

The story in my photography may not be a sequential story, but has been an emotional and personal one. My experience with photography has been from both, the side of the viewfinder and the lens.

As a photography major, it was never clear to me on why I had to take a drawing class. I dreaded each class because of the known fact that I didn’t possess the skills to be a good drawer. When speaking to friends and family, I would always complain to them saying, “I’m going to fail this class. I have no idea why I have to take these drawing classes.” As the quarter went on and the more I learned about the different drawing techniques such as the use of lighting to create interesting shadows or the
