GB Classic Tournament)
Attending Western Washington University
Although the holidays were busy, they were met with many sighs
of relief as finals week came to a close as well as my first quarter
classes.
Western Washington University has been an overall enjoyable experience
and I have found every way possible to stay busy in Bellingham.
In school I received a 3.9 GPA, taking classes like Public Speaking,
Music in the Western World, and Band. Much to my excitement, I also
got to start on my teaching classes by taking Physics for Elementary
School Teachers. I hope to apply to the Woodring College of Education
early next year to enter their Elementary Education program. In
addition to my Elementary Education Studies major, I have also decided
to work toward a Spanish minor because I believe that it will soon
be a necessity in the teaching field with an increase in the Spanish
speaking population.
I have found the Bellingham community very accommodating as well.
I got a volunteer tutoring position at Happy Valley Elementary School
where I will be assisting fifth graders with their science work.
I am excited to start my new classes and I hope to continue my success
in my school work.
Thank you again for the scholarship!
Best Wishes for the New Year,

Classic Tournament)
Attending Central Washington University
I have enjoyed my first quarter of college at Central Washington
University. The quarter just ended so the stress of finals is now
over.
I have met new friends, and I have become acquainted with many students
that are also pursuing a degree in education. Many are actually
planning on being elementary school teachers, like myself.
This past quarter I was enrolled in classes that are general education
requirements. Winter quarter of 2007 I will be able to apply to
the
Education Program at Central, and I will be able to start taking
classes
for my major. Even though academics were at times stressful, the
financial part was not because of your scholarship. The scholarship
indeed helped a lot to make my first year of college more affordable.
Thank you!
