I will take charge and make sure everything is under control if things get out of hand. I also love to craft, I’m good with my hands and I love to create new and innovative things. One of my hobbies, duct taping, involves creating new wallets and accessories. It gets me to think of ways to put things together, adjust and tweak parts, and assemble the wallets. I also like to play a video game called Minecraft. This game is a game made of blocks that allows you to build, design, construct, and be interactive with your own builds. I love playing Minecraft because it allows me to build and create what ever I want, there is no limit to what you can make.
This opportunity is a great way to start thinking about college. It opens my mind to what is available for us. With my characteristics, interests, and abilities, I think I would be a great candidate for this

    I think of myself a good candidate to partake in this program as I’m in all honors classes for my school plus my four magnet classes, and my one Ap class of World history. With all these classes I’ve accomplished staying in my school top grade of Principal List for 90 above all classes per marking period. While also being a student-athlete, I’ll swim 2 and a half hour a day after school. Regardless of the homework given or test I’d find the time to accomplish it all, and get the grade to prove it. These are all things I want to do, things I've wanted always get my 100 % effort.…

    It was a small box that barely fit my name. I took my time carefully scribing the 21-letters neatly with the mini golf type pencil. The fitness center sign in sheet was only a quarter filled with teenage boy scrawl. Rows of machines that looked similar to medieval torturing devices lined the walls. I walked in suddenly doubting my decision to workout.…

    I grew up in a middle-class family in a small Vietnamese town and receiving a tuition reduction scholarship would open the door for me to approach an advanced education in Japan in general and in APU in particular. Not only would it alleviate my parents' financial worries but it would also facilitate my full concentration on university studies. This scholarship represents that I am worthy and capable of performing on an international stage. Furthermore, it will motivate me to accomplish my goal of becoming a cultural anthropologist. I have had less opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities in my hometown, which puts me at a disadvantage compared to other applicants, but I am looking forward to being a part of the regional exchange…
