Nobody is quite the same as the person next to you. Maybe they have different hobbies, or different values, or a different ethnicity. We're all different, but that is what makes us unique. I am a Highschool Senior who has a very large goal for my life, and this is what makes me unique. generally, when you're a senior in high school most people don't know what they want to do after they graduate, but not me. I know exactly what I want to do and I have already put actions in place to ensure that my goals are accomplished.
When I graduate I am going to move to Pitchit, Thailand to teach English to children that live there. I will be able to help these children learn a vital language for their success around the world. This is a 6-month long humanitarian trip, so I won't get paid to teach these children. I am simply doing it because I love children and want to help kids all around the globe have a better life. I am excited to help the communities and cities in Thailand while I am living there.
After this humanitarian trip, I am going to attend college and get my bachelors in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Special Education. I have 2 years of experience with children already and I am so excited to be able to help the kids in my community further after I have my degree. My goal is to teach 1st-grade Special Education this is a very important stage in children's lives and I am excited to take on the responsibility to improve these children's lives and help them become the best version of themselves they can become.
This is how I am planning on giving back to my community, I am going to teach and nurture their children and help them become the best children they can become. I know teaching was meant for me. I have been working in the childcare field since I was 16, and it is challenging but it makes it all the more rewarding. I love the kids I have gotten to work with so far and I'm excited to meet all the children I will teach in the future.
I feel that these goals make me unique, I know what I want and I am willing to put forth the effort and the grit to get what I want in my life. I will persevere and not stop fighting til I get what I have been working toward since I was 16. I will have gumption.
I Can Do Anything Scholarship
The dream version of myself is a teacher in Thailand teaching English to children. I have already made plans to do this in 2024, and I am so excited to be able to fulfill my dream and be able to help the children in Thailand learn English.
Kerry Kennedy Life Is Good Scholarship
It was my freshman year of high school. I enrolled in Child Development and Early Childhood Education. I didn't think much of these classes until I got to teach the kids in Early childhood education. They flipped my world all around. I loved working with these kids, And I had an aptitude for it as well. I loved getting to know these kids and helping teach them. It gave me the confidence to know I can do this. I loved this class so much that I continued to take this class until I graduated. I loved this class so much that I changed my career plan because of them. I loved this class so much that the moment I turned 16 I went out and got a job in childcare. I couldn't be more grateful for those kids because they helped me find the right career.
My name is Jenna Robbins I Am going to college to get my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I love working with children and have been working with elementary-age kids in a professional setting since I was 16. since then I have worked intensely with children with special needs as well as neurotypical children.
I have worked at a daycare and preschool, and now I am a nanny to children with special needs. I have big plans for my future career in Eduction. In summer 2023 I will be working at UVU as a mentor for middle school-age children teaching them STEM. Then I will attend my first year of higher education at Utah Tech afterward I will move to Thailand for the summer of 2024 to teach 1st-3rd graders English. I will then move back and finish my final 3 years of college at Utah Tech. all of the kids I have worked with during this time give me the passion and drive that makes me love this job. Right now it's just a job, but soon enough it will be my career, and I couldn't be more excited.
As much as I love this job, I know that some hard things come with it. Yes, you have kids to love and care for, but this job makes it a little harder to love and care for your own family. I plan on living frugally and possibly getting a minor in Special Education to help support my own family when I have one. I don't feel that there are many sacrifices I have had to make so far regarding this career, but I do know that this career will give me many in the future. These struggles and sacrifices won't stop me from loving what I will do, and the positive impact I can make on this future generation. I hope you will consider me for your scholarship. Thank you for your time and consideration.
