What qualitites and attitudes do you possess that makes you a good role model in the classroom and at school activities?
        I have made the choice to become an inspiring student-athlete who is relentless, responsible, honest, reliable, and very dedicated. I call myself a leader that takes pride in my accomplishments, and encourages others to do the same. In the classroom I am the student to always ask questions, even if I understand and just asking the question for someone who does not. In all of my classes I turn in all of my work on time, and show my classmates that it is ok to be a good student, or to be a "nerd." In group projects, I am a classmate that the other students can trust to do my part and even take home projects overnight, they can trust me with their grades. Outside the classroom I also believe I am a leader. Whether it be at a basketball game, football game, or any other event, I am the girl cheering, and supporting my fellow classmates while showing school spirit. I can get the crowd up on their feet showing school support. I am a volleyball player and either at practices or games I lead , push, and support all of the girls in the program. I have a very positive attitude on and off the court, and like they say a positive attitude is contageous.

What are your educational goals?
   I have set a goal to graduate from Western State College, and become a physical therapist. While I spend time in the classroom at Western, I want to educate myself as much as possible, and learn everything taught to me. Another goal I set for myself is to pass all of my courses with a B or higher. I am going to take classes that are challenging to me and even some that are completely out of my box. I plan to adjust to the college life, and learn more as a student-athlete. Even though I will be traveling a ton with volleyball, I am going to stay caught up with my classes and be the best student I can be.

What makes you a good candidate for this scholarship?
     I am a reliable student, who is very trustworthy, loyal, and responsible and I believe I am a good candidate for this scholarship. I am a hardworking student and my work ethic is tremendous. Although I have had a few bumps in my road at home, I realize I can take on anything that comes my way. I am a greatful student, and very appreciative of every oppertunities given to me.
