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 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
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
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
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.

primarily consisted of whether or not college athletes deserve special monetary treatment over the other students at universities. “College Football Players Deserve Pay for Play” by Rod Gilmore, “Why Student-Athletes Should Not Be Paid” by Kabir Sawhney, and “The Shame of College Sports” by Taylor Branch all voice their opinions on this argument. I believe college athletes should have their full tuition, meals, room and board paid for; but I do not think the school should necessarily be responsible
in the United States. College coaches are forgetting about the importance of academics. Coaches are also losing sight of anything but winning. All recruits are being treated as commodities instead of being treated as human beings. All athletes deserve the respect of being treated like a human. Unethical Recruiting in College Sports Sports were not widely known in the United States until they reached the collegiate level. The first organized college sports club was formed in 1843 when
It is Saturday night, actually Sunday morning since the digital clock in my car reads 1:27 a.m. and a couple of friends and I are heading to a bar in Humboldt Park to drink some smooth and creamy Piña Coladas. I have been raving to Maryam about how delicious this specific drink is prepared at the Clipper. It has the right balance between tangy but creamy and best of all it has a smooth kick at the end. However, because we always have a tendency to go out past midnight and Maryam lives in Hyde Park
development of a child as a person. They believe that every child deserves to feel beautiful and beauty pageants are merely another way of making them feel comfortable and pretty in their skin. What is most important, child beauty pageants help to develop social skills, increase self-esteem and desire to win (Morgan, 2012). In addition for that, pageant winners receive luxury prizes from trophies and crowns to college scholarships. For instance, Jayleigh, a beauty pageant contestant, who won pageant

that are struggling with their grades are intelligent and hard working. They get high grades on tests, class work, homework, etc., but those dang zeros significantly hurt their overall grade. I know I have had my fair share of zeros in the past and I don’t see this stopping for me anytime soon in the future. So I make this proposal, a modest proposal. Just exterminate grades completely. It is a win-win situation if you look at it: students will not have to dread and tear themselves apart because

She could have an amazing future and her teacher Miss Wilcox would assist her. "I told you those stories you wrote were excellent...You're going to be a college student!" (Page 66) this implies that she has the ability to achieve her dreams and is extremely clever. The reader may
In heterogeneous countries where there are distinct cultures and multiple ethnic groups, issues such as discrimination and unfair treatment are reasons that contribute to the exclusion of certain subgroups. Hence, the extent of the problem as to why parents prevent their children, especially girls, from attending school are because of their opposition to change, strong ethnic identity, high economic costs and low economic returns, and poor mistreatment in schools. It is because of these reasons

University on a partial golf scholarship but ended up at California Polytechnic State University. Mr. Petersons’ childhood is very different from Mr. Simpson’s and Mr. Blake’s. He had a “normal” childhood. So what could have happened to this man that would have him on trial for the murder of his wife and unborn son. Could it have been the extramarital affair. Or was it the root to all evil. The $250,000 life insurance policy he and laci had two years prior to her murder. So why did Scott Peterson get the
Research Project Why We Should Educate Children of Illegal Immigrants There are many people in the United States who disagree against the law to educate children of illegal immigrants due to the high expenses spend annually and while it is coming from the taxes paid by the citizens. I concede that it may cost a fortune to educate those children of illegal immigrants by using our tax payments. However, I would argue that those children should have a right to be educated due to many reasons; they
Troy and Willy’s Motivators and the Impact of Their Motivators on Their Relationships with Their Sons Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller has received multiple accolades for its insight into the dynamic of a struggling American family in the late 1940’s. Similarly, Fences is August Wilson’s acclaimed play, also about a lower class American family set in the 1950’s. There are many parallels between the two plays and in particular, there are many similarities between the circumstances and experiences
In order to have a successful educational experience, one must meet at the point of becoming a devoted “scholarship-boy” and showing efforts towards Nature. By having this balance, an outstanding structure can be formed with the help of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Richard Rodriguez. These two authors have different views and opinions on the processes of education, but by combining them both and devising a strategy of both their thoughts, a successful outlook on education can be developed.
