The post 2019 Love Yourself to Life™ Scholarship appeared first on Love Yourself to Life.

First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Dr. Debro for choosing me to be the recipient of the 2019 Love Yourself to Life Nursing Scholarship. Committing to the 28-day Love Yourself to Life commitment was a blessing in itself. The daily participation has helped me to become a stronger woman.

Being the recipient of this scholarship is a huge blessing to me and it could not have come at a better time. I feel God has truly blessed me with having Dr. Debro as my former teacher and He has given me faith to believe. Because of all of this: continuing to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse, becoming committed to myself, and continuing to pray, I have gained the biggest reward and that is learning how to Love Myself to Life.

Upon graduation from the nursing program, my goal is to pass the NCLEX exam. After successfully passing the exam, I hope to gain experience, as a floor nurse with visions of advancement to become a charge nurse or manager. Concurrently, while I work to gain experience, I plan to continue my education. I have plans to start working towards my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing immediately with my dream goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner.

In the Fall of 2018, I plan to attend the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. My educational aspirations consist of acquiring a bachelor’s degree in Middle School Education that would assist me in becoming a teacher. I would like to teach 4th-8th grade because I believe that those years of education are very crucial for learning and developing skills. During those years of my life, I became serious about my education and understood the value of education.

My dream is to be a math teacher; it’s one of my favorite subjects. I not only want to be a teacher I want to be a “good” teacher.  I want to make a difference in the life of every child I came in contact with.  In order for me to do that I have created a list of goals to help me stay focused throughout my entire teaching career. At some point, I may move outside of the classroom into a position that will allow me to serve as a math coach or a specialist for a school. I know being a teacher comes with many challenges, but it is also a profession that brings great satisfaction.

I will turn my academic strategies into action to achieve my desired goal. Two things I know I need to work on are time management and procrastination. I plan to make a schedule that would include how much time I will spend studying every day; the location best for me to study, and who I will study with. A planner will help me to keep up with assignments and important dates to help me remain organized. To understand topics, I am going to take advantage of the free learning resource such as tutoring. College is not just doing work, I am a CLC Scholar and it allows me to be involved in activities and give me a more well-rounded education, and makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Meeting new peers will help give me additional academic and social support. UA Little Rock has many resources on campus and as long as I keep myself motivated I know I can succeed.

Thank Dr. Monica Debro and the Love Yourself to Life Scholarship Committee for selecting me as the recipient of the 2017 scholarship. Words cannot adequately express how happy I am to have been chosen and with the help of the Lord and this scholarship my first personal declaration of graduating from the ADN program at Phoenix College on December 13, 2017, will manifest.

This scholarship has alleviated a great portion of my tuition which allows me to focus all of my energy and efforts on where it is needed most, learning. And although my short-term goal is just about satiated, I am already looking forward to accomplishing my ultimate goal of becoming a Master’s Prepared Nurse Practitioner.

It is my sincere desire to be able to give back to my community and pay it forward by helping someone else who may have a financial need while educating themselves. Because of this scholarship, I am one step closer to that as well.

Thank you again for making this scholarship available for people like me that want to matriculate but may not have all the means to be able to do so.

Sincerely,

Daschelle C. Weaver
