Long after I leave the halls of Wayne Hills, it is not my Chemistry or World History class that I will utilize most, but the classes I took in Family and Consumer Science. In my four years of high school, I have had the pleasure of taking six courses within the Family and Consumer Science (FACS) department, including three Foods classes and three Child Development classes. In these classes, I was taught responsibility, creativity, how to work as a team and so much more that will help me to excel in my future endeavors.
I believe that I am a good candidate for the FACS scholarship because I never failed to put forward my best in these classes. In my Child Development classes, I naturally took on a leadership role and put in extra effort when it came to working with fellow students and teachers, as well as during our preschool classes. I regularly gave up lunch and studies to assist teachers with other classes. In my Foods classes, I enjoyed having my teachers challenge me and allow me to take my own initiative when it came to recipes and working together with my group. It is through my Foods and CD classes that I have been able to cultivate my passion and excitement for my desired future careers, that of being an elementary school teacher and a mom.
In Foods I, II, and III, we experienced a progression of responsibility from year to year. I had already possessed a basic set of cooking skills and a love of preparing food due to the fact that I was raised in a single parent household and had to learn at a young age how to cook for myself because my mom worked full time. I learned more of your basic kitchen skills and was then given the task of executing several recipes with a group of my peers. Many times. I took on a leadership role and this taught me how to work, not only with my peers, but with my teacher, in an unconventional classroom environment. Many times, in our foods classes, we were also presented with the challenge of coming up with recipes to use leftovers in new and innovative ways. In my final year of foods, I was placed in a group with a peer who had special needs. This give me opportunity to learn how to work with people who have disabilities and gave me a new appreciation for my foods experience. In my CD courses, I was able to practice my passion and watch my love for teaching grow. I got to work with children in our preschool program and make lesson plans to teach to the class. In my senior year, I got to branch off to an Elementary school and get real classroom experience with a successful 3rd grade teacher as my mentor, something most future teachers do not have the advantage of doing in high school. I was able to observe my teacher in working with kids at all different levels and how the classroom is ran. Later, I was able to jump in and assist with lessons, student discipline and basic organization. This experience was invaluable to my dream career of being an elementary school teacher.
Upon arriving for my freshman year at Montclair State University, I will already be ahead of the game when it comes the future, and my intended major of Family and Child Studies, due to the FACS courses I took at Wayne Hills. I have had a passion for teaching and helping others since I was younger and being in these classes has only advanced my desire to be a teacher. I will use the any challenges to my advantage and work to learn from them moving forward, just as I have through the last four years in my FACS classes. I will also use the leadership roles I possessed in my classes to continue to be a leader among my peers.
I believe that I am an excellent candidate for this scholarship and I am extremely thankful for the FACS courses that were offered to me here at Wayne Hills. In them, I was able to broaden my passion for teaching and working with others to make a difference. Long after I leave the halls of high school, I will remember and utilize all I learned in my Foods and Child Development Classes.
Anything that doesn't sound right or is not necessary? Thank you for any advice
