Congratulations!
Ms Bear Paw 2013 - Victoria Bensel
Who Am I?
Essay by Victoria Bensel It was 79 degrees on December 3rd, 1995 and by all accounts, a beautiful day in San Antonio, Texas. On that day, one person in San Antonio won a share of 4 million dollars in the Texas State Lottery but my family always says that they are the ones who won the lottery that day; because that was the day I was born. However, my stay in the sun drenched state was short lived. As a child of a military family, I was destined to relocate. I remember my father coming home one evening, he was very excited, he told us he had gotten his dream assignment to Alaska and we would be moving. I will have to admit, we had already moved twice, and I was only 5, so I was not particularly happy with the “great news” my father had brought home. Much to my chagrin, we moved to Alaska in November of 2001. At first, I was not too fond of my new surroundings, snow was something I had never seen and Alaska had plenty of it. I grew up in an area where the winter temperatures were the same as Eagle River’s summer temperatures, this was quite a shock! My father still tells me that the first words out of my mouth, when we arrived were “Daddy when are we going home again?” To which he looked down at me smiling and said, “This is our home now sweetie.” Nearly twelve years have passed since we moved to the base of the majestic Chugach Mountains and I am now proud to call the state of Alaska my home. When I began to think about the question of “Who am I?”, I looked to what I consider to be the “foundation of me”. That foundation is my family and our community and I greatly value the relationship I have with both. My family has gone through a lot in order to raise me and for me to stay here in Alaska and graduate. My mother and father both taught me about sacrifice and hard work, two qualities I deem to vitally important in my life. My mother sacrificed her career so she could raise my brother and I. She also taught me the value of hard
work because even though she was a full time mom and had to manage our household while my father deployed regularly, she still pursued her Master’s degree. My father was willing to go overseas for 3 years, alone, so I would not have to change schools during my high school career. Their sacrifices made me realize just how important it is to do what is necessary in order to achieve your goals. Part of my community is Chugiak High School, which I just recently graduated from. While in high school I continually strived to be the very best student and athlete I could be. Am I the best at everything I do? That answer is no, but I can say that I never gave up and always gave it my all! From taking Advanced Proficiency (AP) courses to training hard for the Oregon Invitational Relays, State Track meets and now for Division II track this upcoming fall I can say, I have given it my all. I have also discovered that giving back to my community gives me great pride and a sense of accomplishment. From donating time at the food bank to volunteering at the hospital on Elmendorf to serve those who defend our precious freedom. I still have much to learn and little time to do so in order to take the next step in my life. I am the culmination of my own life experiences and the values that my parents have instilled in me. I am a young woman, about to take her first steps into the next chapter of life, ready to tackle the challenges of college, graduate school and beyond. I plan to attend Southwest Minnesota State University to pursue my goal of helping others rehabilitate through physical therapy. There will be many challenges ahead, some easily overcome others will seem insurmountable but through it all I will prevail. My father taught me that “we never learned to walk…we simply learned not to fall” I think I now have a better understanding of what he meant. I believe I have learned to walk…but now it is time to learn how to run.
