Pearlie M. Westbrooks Memorial Scholarship

I am a part of many clubs and organizations that give back to the community, the most important one to me is Crown Club. I joined Crown Club because I knew their cause was very important, the club gives back to less fortunate families in our city. I have built beds for kids who do not have beds at their houses, have gone Christmas shopping for kids, donated hygienic products for families, done backpacks for kids, had princess tea parties, reading railroads, and so much more. Witnessing the joy and gratitude of these children when receiving these items is truly heartwarming and reinforces my dedication to the club's cause. Apart from Crown Club, my involvement in other clubs has also left a profound impact on me. Whether it involves supporting my school or participating in community clean-ups, I am deeply passionate about giving back to our incredible city and making it a better place for everyone. This commitment extends to my future aspirations as well. I aspire to pursue a career in landscape architecture, which aligns perfectly with my desire to continue contributing to my community. Being a landscape architect will let me be able to give back to my city by helping my city grow into something amazing. I mostly want to design parks and public spaces where everyone can enjoy something. I want to create playgrounds, city pools, and spacious park spaces for people of all ages to enjoy. Another one of my focuses is helping out poorer neighborhoods, I want people to be proud of where they live. I want my city to grow and prosper from the work I do. Being involved in a number of organizations and clubs has had an impact on my view of the importance of community service. These experiences not only changed me into a more selfless and empathic person, but it has also taught me vital skills like leadership, teamwork, and management. These skills are bound to be useful for me in the future. The possibilities to participate in my community have been beneficial. I have witnessed first-hand the great influence we can have on the lives of others, especially those who are less fortunate. I am excited to continue my community service activities and use my skills and drive to benefit my society. In conclusion, my involvement in these groups has not only enhanced my life but also spurred my desire to continue giving back to my community in meaningful ways.
