Challenger School Application Essay

Our country was built upon the principles of freedom and the opportunity for success. These ideals

have carried our nation throughout the course of history in many ways. Our educational system has taken

the challenge of this ideal and created a system of learning where all individuals have the opportunity to

receive a great education while becoming productive citizens. I believe that our students are the greatest

asset we have in keeping those principles alive within each of us. Our nation is strong, encouraging

individuals to go beyond their initial boundaries and expanding boarders to create a unified country.

We have within our country the ability to help shape the future. Using the ideals of life, liberty, and

the pursuit of happiness, how we instill these key ideals in our students depends on us. Our nation has the

resources to help our students achieve their dreams. If we take advantage of the freedoms we have in this

country, we will always be one step ahead of the world and not behind. It is up to us how we walk and rise

above all obstacles, achieving our dreams and continuing to make this nation great.

As an educator, our responsibility becomes even more important because we have the power to

influence others through our words and actions, just as in historical days, being agents of change and

creating a pathway for our students to follow. We need to always believe in those original ideals of freedom

to keep pushing forward and building up our nation with continued growth and progression. If we can

accomplish this, our nation will continue to fortify our place in the world and making our nation strong.
