This scholarship is in honor of my best friend gone too soon, Terah Hardin, a graduate of the Little Cypress Mauriceville class of 2001. Terah lived only a brief 20 years but left a tremendous impact on our world. Her vibrant personality, optimistic attitude, extraordinary strength through adversity, infinite compassion, and loving nature inspired all who knew her.

Make a Video Portfolio
Do an exercise to determine your personal values, vision, and mission statement. This is really fun! You get to dream, in a focused way, about what is important to you and what you want to do in this world.
(Tip: This isn’t a religious thing. It’s a strategic vision for your life thing.)
Then make a creative 3-minute or less video that tells the world who you are by sharing your values, vision, and personal mission statement.
Consider the final result a piece of your professional portfolio that you can share with future recruiters, employers, or friends.
For example, my vision and mission from my bio:
Dr. Meagan Pollock envisions a world where personal and social circumstances are not obstacles to achieving potential, and where kindness, inclusivity, and conservation prevail. An international speaker, teacher, engineer, and equity leader, her mission is to provide services, tools, and resources that inspire awareness and initiate action.
