Dear Scholarship Committee;
My name is Molly VanBuren and I am applying for the Students Rise to the Challenge
Scholarship Competition. My freshman year I had the most spectacular teacher one could ever hope for;
her name was Mrs. Hill. She was my first math teacher coming into high school and she helped me with
anything that I ever needed. Inside of school or outside of school she was someone who inspired me as a
person and also someone I looked up to. If there was something I did not understand she explained it as
many ways as possible until I finally understood, and she also did a wonderful job of teaching her class. I
am also a member of the band here at Sullivan Central High School and that was something that
interested her. She was always one to come out and support her students that were a part of the band and
still continues to do so. Having a teacher that is always there to help you when homework becomes hard
has been nice, but also having a teacher that supports you in what you do has always been a plus side. Not
only did she help me with my classes,but she taught me an important lesson in life; you can help
someone in your area of work, but you can also help them outside of your job. Being there for someone
when they need your advice for their work is helpful and when someone may just need a listening ear for
a day they are having will give you a different feeling. Going through high school I have noticed that not
all of my teachers are going to be so helpful. I was more than blessed and honored to have a teacher like
Mrs. Hill and will continue to remember the impact she had in my life.
