I have a hard time missing certain family events that I have attended since I was born; I don’t like when there is not cake at a birthday party; Things like this break tradition, and I’m not about that. Tradition is something that allows people from different generations to relate to each other and continue making beautiful memories forever.

I have never been an aggressive, bossy leader, but one who will get the job done no matter what. On top of leadership skills, I have spirit about my work and life. A fun and a joyful spirit can always be contributed no matter the circumstance. Greatness emerges from leaders who have tradition and spirit. FSU is a school of greatness and I don’t believe it will ever be anything less, especially if the alumni continue to make their mark on the school when they are gone. When I leave FSU, I will continue to uphold the FSU Alumni Association’s last value, family. Family is extremely important. Probably the most important to me on the list. Without family, none of the prior can be achieved. Family is always there to help out and pick you up. Whether it is picking up your slack or you, they will be there with open arms.

The joy I found in seeing that boy smile is beyond compare. In that moment, I discovered my passion in life: to help and to serve others.

As I contemplate my college days, I am eager to experience the learning and service opportunities that will be presented to me at Florida State. I look forward to the coming changes, to the relationships I will form, and to the new things I will learn about myself as a person and a student.

In the case of the Alumni Association, it is a representation of Florida State, and the FSU Alumni individuals who make up the values that the university upholds. However, to me, the ‘Seminole family’ is a nickname for a far smaller group of Association’s people, that being my own family. As the 4th generation Seminole I soon will be, the Alumni Association has become quite important to the Legacy FSU alumni-filled family I’m proud to have, and hopefully some day will be an integral part of my own future as well. What makes Floria State Scholarship, such an incredible establishment are the values and principles it preserves for the Seminole family. Leadership is one in which the groundwork describe how of any passion lies, and throughout my life, the role of a leader has shaped me to become both the student and the man I am today. I was you would fortunate to be born with the innate desire to help others, and someday the current global problems facing our society. While I am still quite uphold and young in retrospect of these global issues, each year we see major troubles arise and expand, yet many do not have the desire nor advance the determination to help find the much-needed solutions. Specifically, climate change is one leading dilemma on Earth in which I strive to one day association’s become a leader in the cessation of such a problem. As our planet slowly experiences rising temperatures each year, much to the cause of mission, vision human ignorance, the disappearance of some of our most incredible habitats occurs each and every day. In relation to my own future, this and values. issue is where the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship program at Florida State becomes such an incredible and promising opportunity. Besides my own desire to make a global difference in our environment, I have developed an engrossed passion for the field of business through the participation in the IB Business and Management program at my high school. While the ideology of business and entrepreneurship is often misguided by the public as only monetary-focused, social entrepreneurship is one aspect of business that could not be further from this stereotype. It is an area that I have found absolutely fascinating, and one that stands to be so promising to my vision as a leader and as an innovator in the future. Social entrepreneurship in a broad sense combines these business techniques and idealisms I have become interested in with the overall mission of finding solutions to global problems our society faces, like the disastrous effects of climate change. The groundbreaking entrepreneurship program at Florida State could be such a promising part of my own future as well as the future of our society, and I hope to both benefit from a top-tier FSU education as well as give back and stay involved in both the Jim Moran Institute and Florida State University in it’s entirety. The Florida State Alumni Association focuses on the spirit of tradition in both the success of it’s individuals as well as the success of the institution, and I hope that one day I can maintain that expectation as I follow my passions for learning and development. No matter what my life has in store, I know I will never be able to succeed without the knowledge and skills I hope to gain from Florida State University.

FSU Alumni To some extent, that does describe more than half of my generation but the other part, the minority, is where I belong… motivated, Association’s determined, and confident. High school has opened my eyes to various leadership roles that have contributed to the person I am today Legacy including, but not limited to, student government and varsity/competitive cheerleading. At Florida State University I plan on exceeding the Scholarship, mission, vision, and values set out for me by the university and the Florida State University Alumni Association. describe how This summer I start my journey at FSU and I couldn’t be more thrilled. My plans include enriching the community as soon as possible by you would getting active in student government, clubs, and Greek life. I get my eagerness to get involved from my first year in high school. I was voted uphold and into student government freshman year and with hard work and time, junior year, I achieved my goal of becoming class president. Ever since advance the then my leadership abilities have soared; I better understand how to meet deadlines, assist people in reaching their own personal goals, association’s acquire accountability and responsibility, and overcome disagreements. My leadership will also aid in my connections with new faces and mission, vision hopefully new life-long friendships at Florida State. and values. As a cheerleader, we are known to be peppy, outgoing, and optimistic…I happen to have all of those traits. I cheered all four years of high school on the varsity team and the competitive team. Over those years I gained a great deal of knowledge on what it takes to have 20 girls come together as one and reach a goal. I believe at Florida State I will bring spirit to the games and events that will be contagious to my fellow Seminoles. Since I grew up going to Florida State football games I’ve gotten a taste of the passion each of the fans in the stadium possess and that makes me want to wave my arm harder and scream our chant louder. When I attended the games as a little girl it would always be my whole family: all four of us. Growing up, my parents did an exceptional job at instilling family as a priority in my brother and me. Every year my family and I take a beach vacation consisting of days lounging or swimming in the ocean, and nights laughing at the silly board games we would take along with us. Those memories are irreplaceable and I plan on making countless more at FSU when I rush a sorority in the fall. The fundamental reason I chose to continue my education at Florida State University is precisely the values the Alumni Association instill. Not every school has the spirit, family, tradition, greatness, and leadership that FSU both stresses and embraces. All of the values listed describe my outlook, mindset, and characteristics I have evolved to possess in my lifetime and I wouldn’t be able to say that without my family pushing me to what I thought was my limits and a little further. If I had the honor to receive this illustrious scholarship I will use it to my advantage and uphold and exceed the expectations placed upon me with great pride. Florida State creates many opportunities to challenge a student to excel through rigorous classes, intriguing clubs, an engaging Greek life, and much more that I will gladly embrace.

FSU Alumni My passion in leadership is based on the belief that it is vital for all individuals whether alone or in a crowd, to walk with a sense of purpose Association’s and a sense of direction. My passion is contributing to a purpose greater than my own, painting a picture for others, and by placing merit in Legacy others to create powerful results.

Creating a spirit of family and greatness to overcome the obstacles of illness and values. I lead by example. I give the effort I want my Seminole family to give. If a current nole or future nole needs help, I stop what I am doing to lend a hand. Giving credit to others for their accomplishments not their failures encourages others to work harder. Telling someone their effort was good, now, let’s see what we can do to make it better, gets better results than telling someone that wasn’t good enough, do it again. I don’t believe there is a greater value than inspiring greatness from within others. I used to believe that being the youngest of five girls in my family made me just part of the “McKeen Clan” and eventually the final one to join the ‘Nole Nation’. Now I KNOW that being a part of the Seminole Family is so much more than that.

One of the FSU Alumni University's premier schools of study is the FSU School of Music. That is the school in which I will be focusing on for the next few years and the Association’s school in which people will look at how I contributed to the program. FSU's program is already looked at as one of the most elite and Legacy prestigious in the country and I want to do nothing but further that reputation. I think I have most definitely improved my current high Scholarship, school's reputation with my musical accomplishments and I plan to extend that into my college career. Whether it comes from the sounds I describe how make on the trumpet, or the sounds of an orchestra I conduct, I plan to display the true value of FSU's program in the several performances I you would will take part in. I have always found that music not only enriches my life, but the life of others around me, musical or non-musical. Just as I uphold and will advance the University's position as stated in the Association's vision through my music, I will do the same but in a way in which my advance the reputation isn't important. What is important is that the students and alumni of Florida State University lives can be enriched by mine and association’s others talents through music and through the time that students like myself put in so that they can make Florida State one of the most mission, vision pleasant and enriching institutions in the world. Florida State University already has a tradition of this, and if awarded this scholarship, I will and values. use it to further that tradition for years to come so that those that succeed me can do the same in that same great environment. Not only will this be accomplished through my musical talent but my leadership will also be a factor. I have been a drum major in a critically acclaimed and award winning high school marching band for two years and a young conductor not only in my state, but around the country, forming ensembles that benefit the community and seek no profit. I plan to bring that leadership ability to Florida State so that the Seminole family can enjoy the music my ensembles and the listeners of the marching band if I am so fortunate as to become Drum Major of the Marching Chiefs one day. I believe I have exhibited the greatness of my musical ability and how I portray that talent with such spirit and passion. That greatness and spirit will, along with my sole abilities, go towards tightening the Seminole family and community and uniting them through the power of music. We have seen multiple times in history such as Woodstock and even as simple as a great local symphony concert how musical events can bring people together and I believe that I will replicate that (at of course a smaller scale) at Florida State and bring people together to come and hear beautiful sounds as one family - the Seminole family.

My father attended Florida State from 1983 to 1987 and earned a Business Degree. He ensured my mother would be a Seminole Association’s for the rest of her life by proposing marriage to her on the Seminole Head in Doak Campbell Stadium in 1991. While growing up we made an Legacy annual trip to Tallahassee for a football weekend the past 11 years.

The responsibilities of raising me certainly curtailed some of the time that they had to dedicate to the club and its and values. mission, however we remained members and still to this day attend game watching parties and other events every chance we get. The association’s values of Family, Spirit and Tradition are an integral part of all of the Seminole Clubs around the country. In whatever city that I land in after graduating from Florida State, I plan on being an active member of that city’s Seminole Club and if a club doesn’t exist yet, I will start one.

The association’s vision of uniting the Seminole family and advancing FSU’s position among the nation’s top public universities is certainly well under way, however it is and always will be an ongoing endeavor. Throughout my childhood and teen years I have been involved with student council, heart patient outreach and have held leadership roles on the JV and Varsity athletic teams that I played for while attending high school. Community service has been a school requirement for me since the 4th grade and now it just seems a natural part of my life. I plan on leveraging these leadership and community service experiences combined with my educational opportunities while both at FSU and after I graduate.

The most effective way to advance FSU’s position among its university peers is one graduate at a time. Upon graduation and throughout our post FSU journey we have to apply the association’s values of Leadership and Greatness in our professional and personal lives. These skills along with the rigorous academics that being students at FSU affords us won’t go unnoticed by our professional and personal peers. This is how the association’s Mission, Vision and Values will be advanced one graduate at a time, and I plan on helping to lead the way both as a student and a proud graduate of Florida State University.

When FSU Alumni you are born into a tradition of greatness, leadership in a non-negotiable. Not every kid embraces it, but those destined for greatness don’t Association’s really notice it until the time comes to choose their next steps. Mine required a stop at The Florida State University. Legacy Scholarship, My earliest memories of Florida State (FSU) are filled with the marvel I felt as I listened to my mother reminisce over her countless adventures. describe how According to her, FSU was the place where you discovered the career you loved, met people who thought like you (as well as completely you would different from you), and most importantly, truly found yourself. FSU was where my mom not only established her calling—teaching, but uphold and extended her family through life long connections and, unbeknownst to her then, got an opportunity to make a difference. At the time, it was advance the hard to believe a place could accomplish so many good memories—especially a school. Those moments became the force behind every goal I association’s set; becoming a Seminole became the target. mission, vision and values. Leadership came organically. Every committee meeting I observed, alumni gathering I attended with my mom, or athletic competition I cheered for in the presence of FSU alumni provided me myriad living examples of how leadership looked, sounded, and behaved—I witnessed a spirit of excellence! So, it is no surprise that I lead. I have found myself in leadership roles as early as elementary school where I won the presidency by promising I would bring Soulja Boy to our school and ensure pizza and hot dogs as a regular lunch offering (I only accomplished one goal). I’ve come to the understanding, across this journey, that leadership is bigger than a promise or a title, but more about service and a commitment to improving my community. I learned the importance of executing a task in a timely fashion, while inspiring members of my team to be their best selves—this is no easy task! Through my mom and her Seminole family’s example, I’ve embraced excellence and community as the goal of every task.

I’m not perfect, nobody is. I have learned that being a leader does not make you perfect. Leadership is a journey. The next level of the journey is much clearer, however, because my Seminole family has inspired me through their spirit of greatness (tradition) and leadership to contribute to FSU’s ever advancing position as one of the nation’s greatest public universities!

I have been able to share my experiences with many of classmates and some have even gone on to tour the campus and apply for admission.

Leadership is an important role in my life and I try to pursue it in everything that I do. I am the oldest of three daughters and I always try to set a positive example for my younger sisters. I am ranked 6th in the Senior Class with a GPA over 4.1. I am an Advanced Placement Scholar, in the National Honor Society, a member of the Student Government and a Class and Club officer. In my spare time, I’m a Team Rider for two wake boarding teams, an O’Neill Surf Ambassador, a varsity lacrosse player and a scuba diver with both PADI and RECON certifications.

My parents have lead through example of Service over Self my entire life. I teach autistic children to surf through Surfers for Autism. I teach CCD weekly at our local parish and volunteer for every event that the Rotary Club and the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce sponsor. When I was younger, I always looked up to responsible, capable people as an example of what I was aiming for. Now, I’m hoping to set that kind of example for my sisters and those around me at FSU.

This past summer, I started my own bathing suit company, Coastal ‘Kinis (Coastalkinis.com, Instagram-coastal kinis, snapchat-coastalkinis, Facebook-coastal kinis). I make affordable, but stylish swimsuits for water-crazed girls like me. Owning and operating a small business has been a ton of fun, but also a lot of hard work and sleepless nights! I hope to study Business and Entrepreneurship at FSU to further my dreams and grow my business into a recognizable label. Surely there will be a Seminole-print bathing suit designed by Coastal ‘Kinis in the near future!

Relating to FSU, Association’s that support comes from not only the existing student body, but also our extended university family, the alumni.

I plan to carry out the same mission, connecting with student peers and graduated alumni, while carrying on my mother's legacy uphold and making FSU my alma mater one day. advance the association’s My mother attended FSU and graduated from the college of nursing in 1989. Ever since, her career has always flourished. This is not only due mission, vision to her academic excellence, but also due to the characteristics she developed from the lifelong impressions and connections she has had with and values. her professors. She has transposed these characteristics onto me, contributing to my professional, approachable, and confident deportment. I was able to witness firsthand the education and career relationships my mother received through her schooling at FSU. Because of this, FSU has always been my #1 choice and my mother has always been my #1 alumni inspiration. I hope to be this inspiration as an alumni one day to others.

As a student who is very involved on campus, I have adopted many leadership skills along the way. Being the Treasurer and one of the officers of Key Club, I have taken joy in encouraging my peers to serve their school and their community. On the other hand, being the Senior Class Secretary, I have even more so developed my speech, planning, and empathetic skills. As a leader, I have also learned how to face adversity from others and how to listen to others and incorporate their ideas. I wish to utilize leadership in many different aspects of FSU.

Part of being a leader is continuing the traditions of a community to ensure continuity of the Seminole spirit. Traditions are what make a place unique and special and offer an opportunity for a community to come together, whether in celebration or in support of one another. At FSU, I plan to join my community in our traditions, whether they are supporting athletic events or commending academic achievements. The three torches of FSU, knowledge, strength, and customs, are the most important traditions, which I plan to uphold with my highest admiration.

Growing up, my entire family would attend football games and we would FSU Alumni loyally represent the team colors of garnet and gold. My parents attended the university together, and their elaborate stories about their Association’s experiences have always been entertaining and inspiring. When my oldest sister was deciding on what university she would attend, even with Legacy offers from other prestigious universities, she chose Florida State. She could not ignore the relentless feeling that every member of my family Scholarship, has experienced, that Florida State University is their home. describe how My parents have instilled the love for Florida State within me and my two sisters, and even though they graduated over 25 years ago, the spirit you would still remains today. I plan to pass on this legacy to my children of enrolling at this prestigious university, as I would not want anything less for uphold and them. advance the In addition to upholding the values of tradition and family, I believe I am an excellent leader. A good leader is a one that leads by example. I association’s am a very hard worker, and this attitude shows up in everything I do. On my cross country team I always pushed myself and did not give up on mission, vision any workout, and this was evident to my teammates and my coach. I was named captain and awarded varsity after four years of dedication to and values. the team. In the service clubs I was involved in, including Anchor and Interact Club, I was never afraid to ask what people needed of me, and my fellow club members followed. A good leader is not defined by elections, but by the work, the service, and the success she achieves. I will continue with this work ethic during my next four years at Florida State. I plan on entering medical school and becoming a psychiatrist. Similarly, a disciplined work ethic is crucial to achieving greatness. Although I acquired my hardworking attitude from my father, I believe people are not born with greatness. To achieve greatness, one must have dedication. My career as a pianist is an excellent example of my dedication. I have been playing piano for ten years. Taking into account the weekly lessons and practice, I play piano for about 4 hours a week. It does not appear to be a great deal, but when my demanding school schedule of 5 AP classes and rigorous track workouts are added, my time seems to be cut short. Although given countless opportunities for me to quit over the years, I have stayed dedicated to my passion and I believe that is a necessity in achieving greatness. This character trait of mine will translate in following my second passion which is helping people. I am striving to become a world renowned psychiatrist and will not quit until it happens. The vision of the Alumni Association is "to unite the Seminole family and advance FSU's position among the nation's top public universities." I am skilled in using social media and I believe it is an excellent tool in bringing people together. I would use this as a way to advance the vision of the Alumni Association by uniting fellow FSU alumni. I will continue to do service projects when I attend the university, and that will be the role I take in advancing FSU's position. If I am graciously awarded the FSU's alumni Association's legacy scholarship, I will bring intense school spirit, a unique style of leadership, dedication to greatness, and the passion to put the university on the pedestal I know it deserves.

On top of that, I have been taught that it is just as important to always work your hardest. This has resulted in me being a top student. Association’s Something that is more unique about me is that I was accepted into the BFA Musical Theatre program at FSU. Only about 8-12 students are Legacy accepted each year.

There are even some shows that always have to use the original choreography, such as “West Side Story” choreographed by advance the Jerome Robbins and “A Chorus Line” choreographed by Michael Bennett. association’s Leadership: Theatre is not just performing. Directors, choreographers, music directors, and conductors are all leaders. However, being the mission, vision performer requires leadership too. As a performer, you have to take charge of your career. You have to find auditions, prep your resumes, and and values. overall be your own boss. Family: Sometimes, Broadway shows and tours can run for over a year. It is really important to embrace your coworkers and treat them as a family. Not only will you be working with them for a long run, you will most definitely work with them in the future. That is how this business works. So you have to make sure you are always kind and don’t create bad ties for yourself. Spirit: You have to really love theatre to pursue it. It is a tough career. You have to go to multiple auditions every day, and will most likely book only one in every hundred auditions, if you’re lucky. You will constantly face rejection and people telling you you’re not good enough. On top of that, it is physically demanding. It is very hard on your body to be dancing and working your vocals overtime. You have to learn to take care of yourself while staying positive. In order to do that without getting defeated, you have to have a lot of passion. Greatness: Let’s be honest, you cannot succeed in theatre if you are not great at what you do. FSU will provide me the training to get better and better and what I’m doing so I can get hired. And being great doesn’t just mean being talented, it means being nice, genuine, and intelligent. My main goal as an FSU Legacy student is to really get the Musical Theatre students and the academic students more involved with each other. Musical Theatre students tend to be a little segregated, and too focused on their theatre studies to really focus on their other studies. As someone who cares greatly about my academics, I want my fellow theatre students to be just as excited about academics as they are theatre, and vice versa. This will truly make the FSU student a more well-rounded and open minded person when they graduate and go out into the world.

I believe one of FSU’s greatest strengths you would is the willingness of the professors to allow students to conduct their own research. I hope to commit to an independent academic study of uphold and outcomes of hospitalized children using art therapy through which I can incorporate my love of visual arts with helping children.

Four summers at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Jacksonville as a Teenage Volunteer (TAV) taught me about humility, loss, love and how to be genuine. My white Keds, tucked away in a corner of the closet for now, led me along hundreds of miles of corridors where I learned that people need to feel valued in the midst of trauma. Every employee is important to the integrity and well-being of the hospital, not just the doctors and nurses but also those who deliver food, order diapers, destroy old boxes and change lightbulbs. Everyone makes a difference and I want to as well. Shadowing a physical therapist this summer cemented my desire to major in Exercise Science on a path to a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. Now that I have the incredible opportunity to be a Seminole, I cannot wait to wait to continue the FSU tradition that almost every member of my dad’s side of the family began over 50 years ago. As a Seminole I will dedicate myself to my academic and artistic studies as well as service to others. FSU is my perfect school because I can engage in the arts community through the Community Arts Initiative, enlarge my family with 250 new sisters in a social sorority, serve young patients and their families at the Tallahassee Ronald McDonald House and hopefully intern overseas in the Global Scholars Program. My grandfather painted arrows on my face at my first tailgate and football game at Doak Campbell Stadium in 2002 and I cannot wait to continue the tradition in 2016! In four short years, I will join my peers again at Westcott Fountain to post graduation pictures and celebrate our successes with a final dunk. Then, I can finally click the Life – household membership level on the FSU Alumni Association page and join an even larger family of proud FSU graduates.

With both of my parents being graduates of FSU Alumni Florida State University, I have been an enormous fan of the school and the football team. Growing up we watched every single game on Association’s television or listened to Gene Deckerhoff on the radio. In addition, we were blessed to stay with my Great Aunt and Uncle (also Florida State Legacy Alumni) in Tallahassee a handful of times to watch games. I have dreamed of attending FSU for years.

My plan while at FSU is to become advance the deeply involved through organizations like CRU. I would be able to grow tremendously in my faith with other college students, and I would be association’s able to be involved with the many service projects CRU spearheads throughout each year advancing the lives of the Seminole family. mission, vision The most unique characteristic that I bring to Florida State is that I will step up in situations that require a leader. I have intervened at school and values. when a student had been bullied. No matter how prosperous a university may be, it is imperative for each of its students to be concerned about the well-being of the school and others. Furthermore, I have led in the classroom by maintaining a 4.0 unweighted Grade Point Average (4.8 weighted) throughout my high school career, proving my intense work ethic and earning a spot in the FSU Honors Program. I also lead by being a dedicated worker as a Front Service Clerk at Publix Supermarkets, completing my tasks efficiently and cheerfully. I am an uplifting person at work and in my community. I host and lead small groups on Sunday mornings for the children’s ministry at church. In addition, I lead a Bible study for my peers. During my freshman year I was Vice President of the Student Class Council and have continued to be a council member for three years. Being an experienced well-rounded leader in many areas will allow me to step into Leadership roles at FSU with ease and competence. FSU will help prepare me to have a successful life-long career after graduating in Accounting. I plan to give back to as much as possible to this nationally top ranked University. My goal is to establish a scholarship foundation for passionate Seminole Accounting students. The College of Business at FSU ranks among the top business schools in the state, and I understand the importance of contributions to ensure the continued success of FSU. Two close family friends of mine graduated with Accounting degrees from FSU and have built prosperous CPA firms. I see firsthand how they both give back to FSU and how spirited they both are about being Seminoles. It is clear to me that with world- renowned professors and evident post-graduation achievement I will be able to enter the workforce confidently, philanthropically and proudly as a Seminole. The Legacy Scholarship will directly help me fulfill this dream and I will continue the Mission, Vision and Values of the Alumni Association while on campus and in my future. “GO NOLES!”
