This scholarship paper means a lot to me, maybe I can get a scholarship or a grant or something to help me out with school this year. A real life even that has happen time is, when my parents got a divorce my dad stayed in Scott and me, my mom and my sisters moved to Salina.

I like the small town life where you know everyone and nothing bad happens and there is a good community to support your schools and activities. The number of student I have in my class here is at max 90. Going to school here you know everyone and you know a little something about everyone and sometimes it comes in handy. Fitting in, in Scott City is so much easier it doesn't matter if your rich, poor, ugly or cute. Me myself I get along with everyone and it's really nice. The classes here are so much easier then Salina they can actually sit down with you and listen to what your asking instead of saying hold on or wait one second. There isn't much to do here but if you have the right friends you can always find something to do. We mostly just drive around a lot or have a bonfire or go to Garden …show more content…

    From my undergraduate career at Case Western Reserve University, where I studied Economics, I learned a lot about myself in an academic sense. I learned that I was good at understanding complex concepts introduced in these classes. I found that I had a very deep interest in finding out how the business world works, and how different analytical tools can used to make sense out of data collected from our society. The economics classes that I took, along with a healthy side of mathematics and Russian language courses, helped me to shape the approach I have taken since graduation in May of 2013.…

    What leadership, character, service and scholarship mean to me is someone who is willing to guide people the right way and has the right personality that will influence them to follow.

It was my history teachers and especially my German teacher who changed the direction my life was going through their support and hard work during a challenging time for me.…

    By making the decision to take this course, I can graduate college earlier because I have already received college credits while in high school. This is the best alternative use of my time because when I attend college I can focus on courses that relate to my major rather than having to focus on electives. Even though I could not take other classes such as statistics or global interactions it was more beneficial to take this course. If for some reason if my microeconomics credit does not transfer the credit will at least count for an elective in college. Again, this still will allow for me to get more in depth with my major sooner.…
