Explain Why I Should Be Considered For A Scholarship
Since, I played four sports, it was hard to just focus on one. Sometimes I would have to come in early for one sport and stay after school for another. I really had to manage my time wisely. I am proud to say that I have been on the A honor role every year since freshman year. This was a goal I had since I was a child. I always wanted to be a straight A student and when I would do bad on something, I would study it until it was perfect. I think I should be considered for this scholarship because I have great leadership skills in everything that I do. I show leadership in sports by giving 110% in practice off and on the court or field. I lead by example and have a very strong worth ethic. No matter where I am put in any sport, I give it my all.

Something that I have learned from participating in sports is coming up with ways to overcome obstacles and to keep trying. That means pushing myself to the limit and overpowering boundaries. The experience from participating in each sport have somewhat in some shape and form, taught me the importance of being a leader and working to together. These skills…

    I see myself as a trustworthy, reliable, and good-humored person. I keep a positive attitude even in the face of difficulty. I try to create a supportive environment for everyone. I have an excellent GPA, I’ve done volunteer work, multiple extracurricular activities, and held down a job, and though I feel like all of this makes me remarkably qualified for your scholarship, it doesn’t set me apart from the other applicants. What I believe sets me apart from others is my combination of hard work and drive to succeed. The reason why I should be considered for the scholarship is because I think that my accomplishments and perseverance will continue to lead me to success. I already have preconceived information about college and I know the challenges…

    “I’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet “, this is a line from the song Titanium by David Guetta. Based on our teachers, the point of view of almost half of the people, including them, is that we don’t deserve to be here, to be in this Special Science Class. They said that there are more intelligent students in the star sections who deserve more to be called as the cream of the crop. They keep on believing that it is only luck that brought us here, but in fact, we are here because we deserve to be. SSC is no joke, because the entrance examinations are already a real deal – sweat and blood. So it hurts like there’s a knife stabbing us in front, hearing those words coming out from them, from our teachers who should be the one to encourage us but now they’re the one who’s lowering our self-esteem.…
