Early Childhood Education Scholarship Essay

227 Words1 Page

I am incredibly grateful to have received this scholarship. I am currently on the way to graduate with my Early Childhood Education degree in the spring of 2018. It has been a bit of a rocky road for me in my college years; I support and live by myself, and the cost of paying my tuition has weighed heavily on my shoulders. By being selected to earn this scholarship, I can now focus more on my education instead of my financial issues that comes with paying tuition.
After I earn my degree, I plan to work in a school district in Licking County as a preschool/kindergarten teacher. I currently am employed at a daycare center in Granville where I am able to get my experience and use the practices I learn in the college classroom, and put them into

I made myself a safe space under my bed with a light and pillows.

Some of these traditions include eating specific meals with corresponding days of the week, like Taco Tuesday, while others’ traditions could be

    Everyone has traveled a different road to get to where they are today. Some roads may have felt longer and more rough, but they were worth the ride. My road to literacy started out on what I would call a dirt road that had a steep incline. What I could not see at that time was that once I got to the top, I had a smooth ride ahead of me.
