Importance in Education by Danica - December 2023 Scholarship Essay

My mom put me in preschool an entire year early to get me out of my shell. I might not have the largest social media following. And I’m definitely not a trendsetter. But if I had a nickel for every time I heard, “How would we have done this without you?” well, I’d have a lot of nickels. As a leader on my dance teams and at church, I am passionate about creating an environment where every participant feels seen, heard, and valued. I feel compelled to work with students to bring out the best of their abilities and have a strong impact in their path to success.
Experiencing the role as captain on various teams has helped guide my career decision of becoming a school teacher. What draws me to this profession is the ability to inspire young students to think creatively and critically. I want my students to continue discovering new things so they feel alive and empowered to make a difference in the world. My diverse background provides the foundation of creating a classroom environment where diversity is encouraged and celebrated. I want each student to discover the tools and strategies that make them feel successful in an ever-changing world. The thought of being the supporter that propels a child into continuous learning is a responsibility I am excited to accept. I hope that one day, a child grows up and says, “I don’t know how I would have made it through school without Ms. Robertson.”
