Making My Dreams Become A Reality by Alyssa - June 2013 Scholarship Essay

Everyone has dreams. When I was little someone told me dreams were only a figment of your imagination and although some achieve those goals, most go on the back burner and never become reality. It wasn't until I was a first place team member of the state level FFA (formally known as Future Farmers of America) animal management contest that I started dreaming again. I dreamt that my team would take one of the top five states at the FFA small vet national contest in Boston Massachusetts. When the awards were announced I was surprised to see that my team took first place and I took tenth place individual.That I learned although dreams seem untouchable they can be achieved. Recently I competed in another FFA state Aquarium Management competition and took first again! I have a new dream to help people understand how their diet can affect their health. To do this, I plan to obtain my bachelors degree in dietetics, to help people understand the parallel of proper diet with health. First I have found the school that I believe will make me the most successful. As the advertisements say, “find the perfect fit for you.” I have learned that a school pays a large role in a students success. After changing schools halfway through my high school year to a vocational school and it has been one of the best decisions in my life. I have become a successful student. This scholarship would help me fulfill my dream of becoming a clinical dietitian.
