      <title>My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited</title>
      <description>I am Matt Brown. I am a 24 year old creative human. I love beauty. I have not been educated. My grandmother was an art teacher. I've been meditating every day for an hour for 3 years These things have helped me become myself.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I want to live. To cultivate the potential for a happy life in others, to show people what they can do only if they try, even only if they have the potential for a thought, to know that all things are possible. To take time out of my day, to meditate. To realize all we are is love. To open up to that and experience other cultures to remind myself to stay away from categorizing the awful stereotypes that have been bred into us from birth. To become an example of the use of the laws of nature as a progressive force to change lives, our own. To motivate others to realize their dreams, and to follow them. To bring back faith, to eliminate the unnatural fears that are holding us, to develop my intuition as proof that we all can do whatever we wish.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I  live in Sacramento. I stay to myself. I spend most my time painting sail boats.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I want to be a professional because I keep getting fired from my jobs, I can only be myself. I know nothing else. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I do not know why.</description>
