    Loxy Burckhard Love is Kind Memorial Scholarship
    Winner
    The word love can have unique meanings for each individual. However, love is kind. Love is what allows the world to go around. Personally, love is what I am blessed to be surrounded by. “Love is patient, love is kind.” 1 Corinthians 13:4. God has told his believers these exact words in his teachings. As we were put on this earth, we were taught to love one another and love one another correctly. We find ourselves loving our friends and family. We might also find ourselves loving “the one” as some of us attempt at finding love within a partner. Real love can be considered hard love. Love was never meant to be easy as we find ourselves battling important fights for our loved ones and learning how to be patient as He once told us. Love is kind, love is welcoming, and love is comforting. I find myself with a large heart. With this large heart, I do my best to express my love for my family and friends. As well, I do my best to love strangers, for love is all we need according to The Beatles. More importantly, you should love your enemies because you never know the battles they are fighting in their day-to-day lives. It is very influential for us to share kindness and love with everyone. However, I have once loved a special individual differently than the rest. I found myself caring for him in a way I have not for anybody else. I used my big heart in order to love this boy and make sure was surrounded by love, kindness, and support in the years we shared together. I found myself in the real, hard situations that can be created from real love. I found myself needing to find patience in order for this love to succeed. We were both surrounded by so much love, so much kind love. We were taught how to love correctly within our rights and wrongs. This love was not easy, however, this love was kind, this love was a real thing. People do not realize the importance of kindness and how a little can go a long way. We are unaware of the battles we are all fighting in our lives. A small compliment can be the difference between a suicide attempt and choosing to stay alive on this earth. Spreading love and kindness is what can help create our environment safe and welcoming. I plan on spreading love and kindness to every individual I might come across. In doing so, I am doing what God intended for me to do. I am doing what God is calling me to do here on earth. I plan on impacting the world by having people remember me not by my accomplishments, but by the way I have made them feel. As I prepare myself to move out of a small town and into a large city, I can better practice spreading love and kindness to all the many people I will soon live near. In the future, I plan on having a career in the health field. In this occupation, I will be able to spread kindness, love, and health to every one of my patients that I get to meet along the way. I want to impact health care by ensuring each one of my patients feels loved and cared for in the way they should. I want them to feel safe and welcomed in the offices which can be hard for them to visit. For me, love and kindness can start with a simple smile.
