I Deserve Assistance

Decent Essays
I believe that I deserve assistance from the scholarship committee for numerous reasons. I am not like other people. I was brought up to be a very kind and respectful young man. I treat elders with respect such as addressing them as mister/misses or sir/ma’am. Another characteristic of mine is that I am hardworking. I started working when I was about twelve by mowing lawns. After doing that for awhile I got my first real job at Culver’s when I was sixteen and am still there today. It did not take me long to get a few raises and a promotion. I listen to direction well and try to complete my assignments to the best of my ability. Insubordination is not something I am known for. Punctuality is another quality I know that is important to management.

    On the first day of my 4th period Pre-AP Social Science class, my teacher announced that she would be nominating 2 students for a scholarship based on their academic performance and service to the community. For an 8th grader, this seemed to be the most exciting opportunity I had ever heard of. It would allow some separation from my ultracompetitive classmates at one of the top middle schools in California. Even though history was not my forte, I devised a regimen that I would follow. I studied everyday afterschool, spent hours upon hours on projects, and never turned in an assignment without checking it over 3 times.…

    I feel like I am a good candidate for this scholarship because, as a senior, any and all money earned and received will help me ease the burden of attending college. My goal throughout my whole childhood was to receive a full ride scholarship to the college of my dreams; however, as time has gone on and I have matured I have come to the realization that, that dream is not as achievable as I once believed it to be. I have worked hard, inside and outside of the classroom, making the grades and creating the resume that colleges are looking for, and in response I have been offered tuition waivers. Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…
