To be different. by shamieya - December 2025 Scholarship Essay

I believe students should feel confident in their own shoes. So, I would tell everyone that “there's only one of them.” If I were student body president, my main goal would be to encourage all students to be confident in who they are. It is important for all individuals to be proud of their own journey in life.This leads students to recognize their own unique growth.

Every morning, I would say a motivational quote hoping that both students and staff have a positive day. This can help everyone to stay motivated and think highly of themselves. Some days I would let students give a quote, to keep them involved daily.

Secondly, I could contribute to my goal by setting random meetings for students to share their accomplishments with each other. By doing these students will be able to celebrate with one another, making them feel appreciated. This would allow them to express themselves and recognize how special each of them is.

Lastly, I want to help students to be encouraged to support and comfort each other. I believe that when students see trust in their schoolmates, they are more comfortable with standing out and making a difference. This makes school a safe place for everyone to feel inspired to make a difference and to be more confident.

A good school environment helps students learn both academically and emotionally. When schools encourage positivity and support, it builds self-confidence in others; students are encouraged to bring those habits into their home, showing how they were positively influenced to change.
