Texas A & M Scholarship Essay

Improved Essays
As children, our parents shape our ideas and opinions. When I was a child I thought Texas A&M was the only university my parents would let me attend based on the way they talked about it. I thought that they would not help pay for my college if I went anywhere else. It was not until I was in high school that I realized that Texas A&M was the only university I wanted to attend.

I would like the chance to be able to be a part of the opportunities Texas A&M has after graduation such as the Aggie 100. My father has had the opportunity to be in the Aggie 100 for 3 years in a row and I hope to have my own company be a part of this great organization in the future. As well as the Aggie 100, having an aggie ring can help to find a job after graduation, through other aggies. I have dreamed about getting my aggie ring since the day my dad told me what the ring symbolizes and the accomplishments that have to be made to earn it. Wearing an aggie ring helps show others that the person wearing it is an aggie. Aggies tend to help out other aggies and that’s the type of group of people I would like to be associated with. If admitted, the most exciting part would be the fact that I would finally get to call myself an official aggie. I hope I am able to participate in the opportunities Texas A&M offers after

    I can relate to Jeffrey Gallet’s story and am not surprised by the lack in resources, time school staff utilized to actually work with him on a particular concept(s) that he struggled with, and the verbal abuse that he received, due to the learning disability(ies) that he possessed. I was inspired by his story. It moved me so much so that I desire to share my grade school story with the class. I did not have a learning disability that I knew of, but I did have a lot going on outside of the four walls of the classrooms that I sat in. This made it difficult for me to stay focused on the concepts being taught within my classes.…
