Western Undergraduate Exchange Scholarship
Dear Boise Idaho State University Admissions Office,
I’m writing this letter in regards to my status on the Western Undergraduate Exchange scholarship. I initially didn't make the cut for the scholarship because of the GPA requirements. Currently I’m am now holding a 3.6 GPA for this current semester and will prove to increase it further in the upcoming semester. I take full responsibility for the result of the scholarship as well as my academic status. I am hoping this letter gives you a better understanding of my situation and i would greatly appreciate your reconsideration of the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE).
From the age of four i have spent every waking moment possible playing baseball. School was simply a bare minimum prerequisite to ensure i made it to the pros. It was no secret that i was the star, admittedly even to me. But every once in a while life throws you a curveball. As early as tball i had issues with my feet and i was diagnosed with a birth deformity which caused stress …show more content…
I was so stubborn and determined to play through the pain and being told that i no longer had the option was pretty crushing. But with my loss and decreased mental state i had to swallow the hard learned lesson of many other student athletes and refocus my energy on my academic education as it was no longer the backup plan but the only option.
Without making excuses for myself, my junior year was a major learning experience for me. Even if that is not necessarily reflected by my GPA. I learned how important my education is and how regrouping your life is the only way to move forward. I have always been a very driven individual. I just needed the time to redirect my focus.
I have always excelled in computers and technology, so when faced with the difficulty of accepting that professional baseball was no longer an option, a career in computer science was not a difficult
