Dream Unfolding by Pamela - June 2013 Scholarship Essay

I have been conscious of my wellness journey for 25 years.  The first step I took toward approaching this as a profession was taken in 2010, when I graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, as a Certified Holistic Health Coach.Now, I am lead to serve as a Licensed Massage Therapist, after being reminded repeatedly that the Qi (Chi) running through me, is received in an extraordinary way.Working hard has paid off in terms of getting over my fear of Public Speaking.  I joined Toastmaster's and now I am on the verge of completing 10 speeches, required to receive my Competent Toastmaster's (CTM) pin.  I found that that there was quite a bit of internal work required to consistently complete my speeches in a confident manner.  To Quote Bruce Lee:  "All types of knowledge, ultimately means self knowledge."In the midst of leaving a career as a Certified Public Accountant to garner a wellness education, my parents died.  The growth required to make this work economically was much more than I envisioned.  The "Varsity Tutors Scholarship" would be of great help, as I am yearning to become a Licensed Massage Therapist!!Thank you for instituting the "Varsity Tutuors Scholarship."
