One of dreams has always been to earn a well-rounded college education. Like many college students I didn't know what I wanted to study, but at the time my interest was inclined into public services. I wasn't until I took a Western art survey course that I found true passion, and ever since then I knew that I wanted to be an art historian. For me the study of art history is more about personal and academic enriching, than a financial reward. I chose to be an art historian because I believe in is potential contributions to society culturally specially in education. In order to reach the first step in this goal is to finish my degree.

It’s a dream that I still hold until this day, but fulfilling that goal has not been easy for me personally. When I enrolled at the New York University School Continuing and Professional Studies I attended school on a part-time basis. I was so close to completing my studies because only needed one more semester to graduate.

Completing my degree is very personal to me because I would be the first in my family to earn a college degree. That day would be a day I would cherished because I know that my parents who immigrate to the United States and left the homeland for the better future would see that the sacrifices that they made for my siblings were not in vain, but most importantly I would feel proud of myself as well.

    I was born in Germany, where I was surrounded by rich European art. Most of my artwork represents places, buildings, and artists that I was exposed to while living in Germany. I was introduced to art at an early age by my mother who took me to an art museum where I began taking art lessons at. Throughout the years I developed a heartfelt passion for art and the medieval era. When we left Germany my art was still in a cartoonist style, but when we came over to the US my elementary and high school art teacher helped me develop a more realistic style that shows traces of my heritage.…

    I feel like I am a good candidate for this scholarship because, as a senior, any and all money earned and received will help me ease the burden of attending college. My goal throughout my whole childhood was to receive a full ride scholarship to the college of my dreams; however, as time has gone on and I have matured I have come to the realization that, that dream is not as achievable as I once believed it to be.

Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…

I began to grow my appreciation of museums, admiring how they could ignite wonder, curiosity, and learning in myself and others. I realized this was where I felt most at home. Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…
