Finding the Spark

My Scholarship entry - Inspiration and the Ellusive

I didn't come from money, I've never earned much money myself, and when I think of earning money my first compulsion is to use it to change peoples' lives in some huge way. That being said, I have come to love travel, and have gotten pretty good at traveling with a budget as close to zero as possible. I am always looking for opportunity. And to be honest, that's the ONLY thing I've ever wanted. People do not understand this, most of the time. They don't resonate with a disinterest in personal wealth accumulation.

Well, I have fought to have the opportunities I've gotten so far, and I'm here looking for better ones. I need to change my own life in the hopes of changing life for others. Improving can be as simple as inspiring. So I've been studying inspiration--I've been traveling in search of a story. Whether that story is my own or someone else's has yet to be revealed. But I will find that story. I will find the opportunity to inspire. I was motivate others to find what makes them whole INTRINSICALLY not extrinsically.

I hope this chance helps me accomplish that end.
I have hope, and other's should, too.
