Linda Merrill Scholarship - $500

Linda Merrill was a beloved member of the faculty at Wichita Falls High School and WFISD for more than 29 years. Many called her the “Ultimate Coyote”. Through the WFISD Foundation, Linda’s family and friends established this $500 scholarship in the spring of 2008 in memory of her life. Linda always wanted more for her students than she could give from the classroom or office. This scholarship will enable her dream to continue.

Essay Question: One of “Merrill/s” favorite poems was “Success” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. (below) Write a brief essay explaining what the words in the poem mean to you. How does this fit into your college plans and goals after graduation?

SuccessRalph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;

To earn the approbation of honest citizens

And endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give of one’s self;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by healthy child,

A garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived-

This is to have succeeded.
