How my resolution will help me be a better student by Kenneth - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

My dream was always to be a chef. I started cooking at age six and spent most of my life cooking amazing food. I always wanted to go to school to continue the path of culinary discovery. I know a lot but there is so much I don't know. This program and this Scholarship will help on that path.
My resolution for this year was to stop living in an abusive relationship. This may not sound like it could effect me in school but it does. By getting out of this situation, I will be able to focus on school and have a chance at success. My abuser is the kind that would stop at nothing to see me fail and by taking this chance I will be able to escape this life and make a better life for myself and my son. He mean everything to me and deserves a better life then the one I forged for myself. To do this for him, I will forge a new path for myself to better both our lives. I control my fate and I need him to understand he does the same. I want him to be strong so I need to show him what a strong man is like. I need to be an example to him. So my resolution is to better both our lives by going to school and get an education and escape those who would wrong us.
