Changing the Course by Angela - August 2024 Scholarship Essay

Reading is my favorite hobby. I love the feeling of being transported into another world and meeting characters that I would never have the opportunity of meeting otherwise. I want to share my love of reading with others and so my next big educational goal is to become an educator. I am going to put my energy and ability into obtaining my masters degree in education. By becoming a teacher, I hope to ignite a passion for reading in my students. Not only is reading enjoyable and refreshing, but it is also a way to gain knowledge, understanding and to grow as an individual. I anticipate throughout my masters program I will be reading to learn the best and most effective tools to teach and to succeed as a teacher. Education is powerful and it is important to set goals. I have a big goal and I have smaller goals to reach my big goal. My smaller goals include staying organized, being intentional to apply what I learn and doing my best in every class. My big educational goal of obtaining my masters will change the course of my life and hopefully make a positive impact on the children I am privileged to teach
