She shows me the teacher I want to be by Abigail - March 2023 Scholarship Essay

My most influential teacher has been my Student Council and TAFE sponsor Ms. Hamilton. She is the definition of hardworking, trusting and genuine care for her students.

When I was a sophomore, I made it into student council; moreover, in to the STUCO family and she played the largest role in facilitating this family feel that STUCO offers. Through planning summer work days and fall retreat to bond our council to daily fostering an environment of positivity and passion, she has also been extremely influential in my life. I was elected Quartermaster of STUCO my junior year, Vice President my senior year, and being an officer under her sponsorship has been a joy.

I have never experienced an adult being more supportive and trusting of each one our ideas as officers. In every idea we have had, she is quick to listen, quick to offer any support needed, and quick to trust us fully. No one else has better supported me as a leader and she has played such a pivotal role in my personal growth.

As our Texas Association of Future Educators Sponsor, she gave of her free time to take a group of us to the regional and state competitions. I know that teaching takes more than just the time at school but she is the example that I plan on mirroring my own future as a teacher on.

As a future teacher, I admire her so much and she inspires me daily.
