This scholarship is due 4/15. Any feedback will be useful. The prompt is: What are your educational goals?
As a side note: In case it looks familiar to some, I got part of this essay from another one I submitted recently about my career goals. It is a completely different essay, topic and scholarship.
Several years ago, I had no health insurance and neither did many of those around me. This is what initially prompted to inquire about nutrition and other self healing modalities. It was not long before I was fully engaged in researching and studying whatever I could get my hands on about mind/body medicine. It has since become a full-time endeavor of compiling the knowledge that inspires my current career plan of starting my own Wellness Coaching practice. Finishing my degree is an important part of this pursuit. I will attend Goddard College to finish my Bachelor's Degree and then get a Masters in Holistic Nutrition.
In pursuit of my education, I plan to incorporate academic projects that will greatly impact not only my studies but also my skills as a coach. I have a sincere interest in making good health feel accessible to others. To explore ways of doing this, I will do an internship at a local shelter where I will offer my coaching services. This internship is important to my education because by providing support to those in need I will gain invaluable interpersonal skills and get credits for school. For my senior project at Goddard, I plan to draft a workbook compiled from a combination of my current studies and the research I have done throughout the years that I can later use with my clients. I intend to utilize my education to learn how to maximize my skills and resources.
