"A life not examined is a life not worth living." The wise philosopher Descartes once said this in his writings. I've tried to live my life as true and genuine as possible, thus living out this quote. I'm a student from Colorado who is going to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago this fall. I went to Colorado State University this past year and had one of the greatest experiences of my life. It's puzzling why I would want to leave all of this, but change is always encouraged. I'm very certain that my move will bring about a positive shift in my life. Overall this scholarship would greatly help me out financially in my pursuit to go to art school.
