The Prairie Meadows Scholarship would help me pursue an education that would prepare me to succeed on any career path. I plan to go to DMACC and earn my Associates of Arts degree. I know this degree will be a good foundation when I decide what specific career I want to pursue. I know at this time that I’m interested in pursuing a career related to social issues in our world. I know that with any degree I will need the general classes offered in an AA degree. I am hoping while going to school for my AA degree at DMACC I will find my specific path for what I want to do for my future career. I know with any career, an AA degree will be needed.

I’m caring and thoughtful and I enjoy helping people. I am very involved in the community through my church. I already make a difference in my community and will continue to do so as I start my career. I see the specific needs in my community and I do my best to be a part of the solution for those needs. I have volunteered multiple times for Meals of the Heartland. Last year as a part of a goal my youth group raised money to build water wells in Africa. I created t shirts to sell and hosted a bonfire, both in an effort to raise money. I am currently preparing to go on a missions trip to Haiti this summer with my youth group. My experiences and passion that I have gained during my High School years will carry on through my career and continue to make a difference in our world. Receiving this scholarship will help me to get into the right career to be a part of the efforts to abolish human
