Why I deserve a Scholarship. My name is Fernando. I believe that I am deserving of this scholarship because I put forth a lot of effort into everything that I do. I do my best in any and everything. When I set goals for myself, I do everything in my power to achieve them and if I happen to fall short of my goal then I pride myself in knowing that I did my best. My goals in life are often extremely high. I base my goals on the quote “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you will land among the
Why I deserve a scholarship I have overcome numerous obstacles to become the person that I am today. As a young child, I was diagnosed with an Oral Language Disorder, Disorder of Written Expression, Mathematics Disorder and an attention problem. Prior to living with my grandparents (1st grade) and then adopted by them (3rd grade), I lived with my biological mother and stepfather. My home environment was neglectful in terms of emotional development, appropriate stimulation, and nutrition. During
I believe that I deserve this scholarship because I am an idealistic person who strongly believes that it is the sole responsibility of me to succeed in life and to contribute towards the welfare of a society. There are many good reasons to argue why I deserve this scholarship. I am a hard working and motivated individual with clear goals. I will make the best use of this scholarship to put towards completing my education and focusing only on making earning perfect grades. I will also share my
I think resourcefulness is the ability to overcome a difficult/challenging situation. I remember the time i had sprained my ankle and had to be bedridden for about 2 weeks. This was during a heavy workload of lectures at university. Being bedridden i couldn't attend lectures for 2 weeks. I didn't give up, i had a small MP3 recorder which my father had given me, i gave this to my close friend who also attended the same lectures as i did and he recorded the lectures for me and i used to listen to them
Why do I deserve a scholarship My friends describe me as someone who never gives up. Yes, I would agree with that statement, because I know my own capability in studying. For me, our intelligence cannot be compare with the efforts to be one. As I remember my mum said when I was in form 3, “Don’t compare yourself with your friends, the efforts to study, but find your own weakness, and overcome it.” And from that, I understand one thing, which is to overcome my weakness, practice is a must. So I improved
ENGW206 October 1, 2011 Should College Athletes be Paid? Over the past several decades college sports have become a big time business. Division I-A football and basketball in particular have become huge commercial enterprises. These sports rake in billions of dollars every year from ticket sales, jersey sales, television network deals, and clothing and equipment sponsorships. According to 2004 research, “College sports has become a 4-billion-a-year enterprise, and the elite football and basketball
professor Shannon English 101 – 1:15 20 April, 2010 College Pay Day Have you ever wondered why Division 1 College athletes don’t get paid just little bit for all the money they’re making for the school and their sponsors? “The National Collegiate Athletic Association and its partners are practicing what some would call modern day slavery. “All these D1 colleges/universities are recruiting these athletes and are housing and educating them, which they feel is appropriate for the services of their
of thousands of dollars for their universities, and they don’t get paid one cent of it. I believe college athletes should be paid because their names are put on video games, their numbers are put on jerseys, they’re all over television, and college athletics is just as much a business as professional sports. Most people would argue that they shouldn’t get paid because they already have $25,000 scholarships. I disagree; the NCAA can’t continue to balance commercialism and education. College athletes

Why is it that the university, the athletic department, the coaches, and others are given the monetary awards of success while the athletes, who the overall success of a team is credited towards, are the only people who do not gain from their own merit?

Diversity Scholarship Diversity, a word often heard growing up. In high school diversity was an issue that was pushed repeatedly. I attended a school that had a student body of over 2000 students, in which diversity was not really an issue. As time passed I found that diversity affected my life more and more. As college neared filling out applications became more of a ritual, and I found that by being born into a white middle class family would hinder my financial status rather than help it.

A scholarship can be a major financial package, and plenty of your average college students would be more than happy to take the tuition and actually pursue their studies” (Pheifer, 2012). That may be true, but these athletes don’t stay at college long enough to earn a scholarship. In basketball most players (at least the good ones) stick it out for merely a year, while most football players (again, the good ones) leave after four years. You call this compensation? I think not. These

Yes, some players on the team do go to school with a free scholarship, but is that it? People would be truly grateful to obtain a scholarship for an expensive university, but the situation that college athletes are in has to be examined closely. You can even compare the college athletes to your local prostitute. They are using their bodies

to stop increasing more students would be able to afford and attend college without the extra needed support from the government. Getting into college shouldn’t be based on how much money you have but on how well you preformed in high school and deserve to be there. It’s not fair or right for someone to have all the money in the world to get into Harvard who isn’t all that intelligent when someone who does get into Harvard but can’t afford to go due to the $55,000 year tuition cost.
