Why I Should Be Considered For Scholarship Essay

Decent Essays
Why I Should Be Considered for this Scholarship I should be considered for this scholarship because I value and participate in my community. I have to thank Ottawa-Glandorf High School for presenting me with organizations such as Key Club, Jr. Optimist, National Honor Society, Glamour Gals, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. These organizations have helped me become involved in this community. Along with community service, I am also active in school sports and extracurricular activities, all while maintaining a 3.969 GPA. I have high expectations for myself in the future by becoming a surgeon or a chiropractor. Both professions require many expensive years of college and specialized schools. This scholarship could help me achieve my career
