Learning Through Understanding by JOCELYN - September 2026 Scholarship Essay

A learning method that has the greatest impact on my academic success is when there was this one time where a teacher was just saying the problem and not showing how to properly do it . So what I decided that I would do is look up the subject and find a related problem to my question and learn it from there. So like this one time my chemistry teacher was just saying the work we had to do and she didn’t show the class how to do it. I had gotten my chromebook out and had searched chemistry plus the work I needed to do and I had it explain to me how I can do my work. This has helped me with my other classes too. So when I’m in class I remember how to do it and I don’t need to pull out my chromebook to help me. The reason why I started doing my work like that is because I physically can’t learn unless it is being shown to me or taught to me and this has helped me improve on all my classwork. When I’m doing my work I show other people who are struggling and show them the way to do the work. This scholarship would help me because when I’m preparing to go to college either during the military or after it would help pay for some of the stuff I need for school. I know that the military won’t be able to pay for everything that I need so the money will help pay for my school supplies and books.
