Who We Are Today/ Who We Want To Be

Last week, the OYE scholarship recipients spent an hour reflecting on who they are and who they want to be. We asked them to put these ideas onto paper. 

Here are a few of the collages that they created to represent themselves:

Wendy says, 

Who I am Today... Today I am a person full of opportunities. Now I am studying, which is giving me many opportunities. Last year I didn't study and I didn't have any of the same opportunities that I have now. For example, studying and working are two of the opportunities that have been presented to me, but of course I prefer to study because this will serve me well in the future.

Within 10 Years...I want to be a high school teacher. I want to have graduated. I want to be the director of a high school. There is so much I want to be, I can't even explain it all.

Today I am a student. I am looking for a better future for myself and my family.

Within 10 years I want to be done with my studies and moving forward. I want to have a family. I want to have a job and work with important people and people in need. I hope to have a house with all the necessities and that my family is happy.

Today I am studying General Sciences and Language Arts. I am a daughter. I have five siblings. Studying is very important for all young people, from very young to old.

When I am older, I want to be a professional and to help the people that are all around us.

Today I am a student. I am also an OYE scholarship recipient.

Within 10 years, I want to have a job in tourism. I also want to be an expert in English and other languages. I want to be the best student in my class and with OYE's support, of course that's what I'll be. Well, I want to get married, but without having kids until the time is right.
