Since a very young age, I have been a devoted Christian. This has been a vital factor in shaping my personality and has motivated me to fulfill my personal calling in life. I enjoy being creative, such as writing poetry and dancing, but most of all I love to make one-on-one connections with people. I am passionate about understanding the deep emotions and thoughts of others, and feel fulfilled by helping people come to a place of peace and understanding. I am a patient, kind, determined, and light-hearted person, and am blessed to have the opportunity to pursue higher education in order to reach the goal of becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe every person has a calling to fulfill and my experience as a children's Behavioral Interventionist has motivated me to pursue resources to build my skills involving inter-personal relationships. I am highly motivated and passionate about learning, and am grateful for your generous scholarship consideration.
