Opportunities to Learn by Caroline - September 2018 Scholarship Essay

I see each day as an opportunity to learn.I want to be able to reflect on my life and know that my achievements in life were not handed to me but built. In order to do so I must continue to learn everyday. Learning opportunities are hidden all choices, failure or success there is always a lesson to be learned. I won’t stop acquiring knowledge when I finish school, if anything finishing college will be a push into a whole new level of learning.
I plan to learn from not only the choices I’ve made but also the choices of the people I’m surrounded by. I strive to be the best version of myself I can be. Trying to better myself means that I’m constantly changing, the little moments in my life are what change my life for the better. When I continue to grow it encourages growth in others I plan on learning by living my life to the fullest. To me living my life to the fullest means that I never stop growing as a person, always loving each person that comes into my life and living in each moment.
Life on earth is short, while I’m here I want to acquire as much knowledge as possible. I see myself continuing to learn by paying attention to the world around me, by being aware of what’s going on not only for the people in my inner circle but the people of the world. It’s amazing how much you can learn by appreciating all the little moments of life. I will continue to put thought into all of my choices and actions.
