When I hear people say disability is not inability, it resonates with my life journey the far I have come, and the much I still believe I can achieve 1 (Hardy et al. 2011, 27). I look back not at the permanent challenges that embody my being, but I look back and appreciate the resilience and determination that has shaped my being. Tough life has helped build me into a strong person.
“ You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you” going by words of John Bunyan, I wish to thank Wells Fargo for making it possible for many of my kind to realize that which they have always dreamt about 2 (Peters 2010, 45). Empowerment through education is the best weapon you have used to make us better men and women. Such tinge of kindness is what the world needs for collective growth.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
I take this opportunity to express my interest in the year’s Wells Fargo Scholarship Program for People with Disabilities. I am a 20-year-old student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Studying Drawing and Painting who envisions to become an Artist specifically an art conservator. This has been my childhood dream which I believe that the amazing program will help me accomplish.
Life experience has shaped me to fit in any societal setup, I lost my mother at the tender age of 11, and I was all alone in the hands of well-wishers who guided me to point. Based on these experiences, I often view myself as a product of communal love and support because were it not for the compassion of community and people who didn’t believe in shared love, I would not be in a position to get this far to the point of requesting for an opportunity to pursue this study. I feel so indebted to return the favor and the love of accomplishing most my undergraduate studies. An opportunity to finish my studies through this program will surely inspire those who gave me a helping hand to extend same heart of kindness to others
I am physically disabled as such; I require much support to do many things. However, I am uniquely gifted in artistic paints something that empowers me to get much-needed training that can fine tune my talent. My artistic prowess earned me a scholarship that enabled me to complete my high school studies successfully. Additionally, my paintings have been sold to the art galleries with proceed going to support the orphanage took care of me. I feel that with my condition, God uniquely gave me a talent that has opened my doors in ways that I could not have imagined.
It is not easy living in an orphanage when you have a special condition. Throughout my stay at the orphanage, learned of obedience, caring and sharing however little. I took good care of the younger children who were brought during my stay there, inspired them to have a positive mind to progress, and I believe that it is that very positivity that has shaped who I am today.
Recently, my life took a swift turn when I learned of my father. Just when I had accepted my life as an orphan, my father came into the picture. However, the only parent that I have is in his sickbed battling with lung cancer. I fear that I may lose the only relative I have but that I have left to Fate. My new experience with my father motivates me more to be a pursue an art career which will help me keep his memory as well as tell my story. I want to tell my story, and this can be done best in Arts. Kindly consider my request for the scholarship.
