:-) I read that I am encouraged to post my responses to the scholarship survey so here it goes!
What is your purpose?
I love to experience life, whether it is feeling my unhurried steps on city pavement or listening to the wind in the trees of the park. I try to appreciate everything I come in contact with and use it to make me a more valuable asset to the world. In the past few months of my college experience I have been exposed to many things that have opened my eyes to how big the world is and how much I have yet to see. There are many places in the world I believe I would benefit from the opportunity to visit. I love to explore and to feel the excitement of the unknown, and to see the ways of the world in action. I feel constantly connected to those around me by my humanity and my understanding that everyone experiences the same emotions though they may be laboring under a different mentality. I feel that there is a thread that connects everyone and the chance to visit the cultural capitals of the world would be more valuable to me than any textbook ever could be. I would use this scholarship to help pay my tuition for the Semester at Sea program in the summer of 2009.
Write your ideal job description.
I know that in this world there are many systems set in place that may be a hindrance to a comfortable lifestyle. I believe that in an environment such as a classroom these hindrances would be minor. Administration may have rules about dress code and curriculum, but as the authority of my classroom I will choose to walk in my socks while my shoes catch a breath. I will choose to start my class with the poses of a sun salutation. I will impart the wisdoms of Homer and the inner workings of William Golding. My field trips will be to museums and poetry readings. I will bring the world into my classroom and show my students what is out there so that their appetites for exploration and travel may be whetted as mine is now. I will provide a space in this fast paced world where my students feel safe and comfortable. I will do my absolute best to be a guide of what is good and a role model of sincerity, hope, and self knowledge. I believe that because of the systems in place, and the amount of time required of high school students, their stay in my classroom should be valuable and memorable.
What is your purpose?
I have a unique understanding of the equality of all people and I am able to provide comfort and wisdom through empathy and sincerity.
What do you love, and how do (or will) your actions demonstrate this?
