Woman with Wanderlust The travels of an American writer and photographer just trying to learn and share and contribute something to the world.

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | 5 photos

My parents taught me that ignorance breeds hate but education creates an understanding that allows tolerance, if not love. Technically they were talking about math but I have found that it works the same way with people. This is why photojournalists are so important. They connect the world through stories, accessible to everyone, in photos.

I live for hiking up mountains, through rivers and enduring extreme weather to get “the shot.” I crave new adventures and knowledge. But in the end I do all of this with the hope that my work can start a conversation. I hope to inspire people and help them appreciate the world and everything in it.

It took me until my sophomore year of college to realize all of this but now that I have a direction and I’m hoping to start my journey as soon as possible. I figured a trip to Greenland; with some guidance from a professional, would be the best way to kick-start my dream of being a photojournalist.

To Mr. Jason Edwards I promise you I will work hard, I will be open to all criticism and critiques, I will wake up as early or stay up as late as I need to, and I will never complain no matter how cold it gets. See you in Greenland!
