My Next Big Educational Goal by Shannon - August 2024 Scholarship Essay

As an incoming college freshmen my next big educational goal is simply getting through the freshmen year without stumbling too much through the collegiate life. Everything and everyone will be new, exciting and challenging. I am looking forward to challenging myself by digging deeper into my talents and skill sets. The degree program I am enrolled in utilizes freshmen or new students as the worker bees. Eventually as we progress up through the ranks, we will have more opportunities to be in the spotlight-literally. This period of “waiting” will be key to developing expertise in skills that will elevate my scope of practice.
In high school I had a proven track record that established me on the small stage however, the collegiate stage presents various and greater challenges. These bigger challenges are due to the talent pool that I have the opportunity to work with and compete against for open positions.
My next big educational goal will be to sharpen my still developing skills for the collegiate stage. All the while waiting in the wings so when opportunities present themselves, I will be ready to shine, or at least appear to look like I know what I am doing, maybe.
