Education's Unique Impact by Delaney - April 2015 Scholarship Essay

There is no simple way to explain the purpose of education because education guides each student in a different direction. Education aids a student to discover his or her unique role in life, the place where they belong. There are endless opportunities in this world, and education helps students explore those opportunities and find their passion. An inquisitive student can take a variety of classes to explore infinite topics. In doing so, they can find areas in which they are naturally gifted, others that may be challenging, or subjects that truly inspire them.

Personally, education has played a major part in my journey to discovering my passion. I took AP Psychology my junior year, and after a few months, I knew it was my calling. It was one of those classes that one never wants to end. I wanted to learn anything and everything about prominent psychologists, historic experiments, and how the mind really worked. It fascinated me, and I decided that psychology was the field for me. I had found my Place. Well, I have at least taken the first few steps. I still need education to help me select my specific career path. In college, I'll take numerous classes in the various subtopics of psychology. College will enlighten me about areas like neuroscience, developmental patterns, or counseling techniques. I will have to dig deep into the roots of psychology to discover the aspect that really touches me.

Education aids students like me first to find the subject that really interests them. Then, through education, students can uncover their career choice passions and determine the role they will play in our society. Each student has his or her own unique life story. Education can help them write it!
