NYIA GEORGE in 2020 shared . . .
One of my many life goals is to
achieve happiness. To some, this
nine-lettered word is simplistic and
easy to come by. It hasn't been easy
to come by from my personal
experience, especially now during a
global pandemic. And if we're
brutally honest, I still haven't found
it, but I dream about it every day.
Happiness to me is rare and pure in
its most authentic form. It's more
than a feeling or an expression; it's
a consistent lifestyle, state of mind,
or movement. To achieve this goal, I
must carry the traits of persistence,
motivation, and consistency.
To achieve this life goal, I aspire to
become a successful entrepreneur,
world traveler, artist, and writer.
Art and writing are two different
forms of art that express things
that my voice or mannerisms never
could, or something I want to say
but I do not know-how.
I rely on a pen and paper or a
paintbrush and an aisle to share my
inner thoughts and feelings to
inspire and open others' minds. In
the future, I hope to see my
thoughts spread across magazine
spreads, advertisements, art
galleries, or films. I can't see the
end, and I know tomorrow is
uncertain, but I know my dreams
and goals will challenge me to
reflect, change my actions, be my
very best self, and fulfill God's plan
for me. I should receive this
scholarship because I am a hardworking
individual who is always
willing to lend a helping hand.
Receiving this scholarship would
allow me to afford my college
degree financially, move into my
specific career path, and improve
our society's lives.
“Happiness is
not an ideal of
reason, but of
imagination.”
