A Passion for Academics and Arts by Cheyenne

A Passion for Academics and Arts by Cheyenne - February 2025 Scholarship Essay

Ever since 5th grade, I have had an unconditional love for two things: art and math. Not only do I cherish the process of solving mathematical puzzles, but I do my best to excel at it. The same can be said for my talents in art. Both subjects give me a purpose and a feeling of accomplishment. Now, as a senior in high school, I have made the significant decision of my college field of study. I will be pursuing a bachelor's degree in interior architecture.
During high school, I have had numerous opportunities to give back to my community. In a portion of these opportunities, I have used my academic and art skills to help the community grow. The feeling of giving back to a community that has made you into who you are is incredibly rewarding. Using my experience to guide me, I have decided to go into interior architecture not only because it combines what I love, but it also is a great way to help the community. Many everyday parts of society are focused on buildings: hospitals, homes, work spaces, and much more. I hope to use what I learn in college to further improve the lifestyles of many by focusing on our everyday surroundings.
I will be attending a four year, CIDA accredited university to ensure that my quality of education is the best that I could possibly pursue. I look forward to learning about a topic I know that I will resonate with. The many opportunities that this education will open up to me are very exciting. I plan on using my degree to get an internship, become a professional, possibly open my own firm one day, and most importantly, create a project that will change others lives. I am currently brainstorming ideas of projects such as homelessness solutions, weather-influenced locations, and the crisis of overpopulation. I hope to use my received education to not only help others, but also to inspire others by proving to them that no matter your chosen field of study, you can make a positive difference.
Even though I am not positive of where my future will lead me, I am positive that every opportunity presented to me will not be wasted. I will use all I have learned and will learn to improve myself and others lives. The only future I see is one where not only I do what I love, but where everyone thrives in it.
