Southern Methodist University

Southern Methodist University has been my dream university for many years. Achieving admission to this spectacular university was a miracle in itself; however, the cost of attendance is a struggle of itself. Receiving this scholarship would help enable myself to educate my mind at one of the nation’s and state’s best universities. I have lived in Lindale all my life, went to the same church and school, and even lived in the same house, but attending this university would forever shape my life and increase the opportunities and resources available to me. I want the love I have for Lindale Independent School District to transfer to the college of my choice, and that college is Southern Methodist University. I have always been a determined, brightminded individual and have prospered throughout a variety of activities. Organizations such as Lindale Band, Lindale Majorettes, FFA, National Honors Society, and the Senior Legacy Project have allowed for a prosperous, well-rounded education to be available to myself and many others every year. Although starting later than many of my peers, I was determined to achieve amazing things through twirling.…

times. The third time was because they wanted the house to be the pinnacle of attention and power. They moved it to its final destination spot in front of gate two, so that when the USC alumni returns, the Widney house is the first building that catches their gaze. There is no other building on USC campus that has this luxury as the alumni house. While there are not any anti-rioting measures in either building, USC as an entity has riot protecting measure. It would be counter productive if the…

He was always in musicals and he sang in church too! Finally, when he was fourteen he bought his own guitar. Technically his first job was at a grocery store, but his mother always made him sing to her on long trips or just on the way to the grocery store.

Unfortunately, his brother, Chris, died in a car accident at the age of …

John Wesley was a mighty pillar in the Christian church following the Reformation.

Those components were: Prevenient Grace,…

The Southern Methodist University football team broke major NCAA rules over the course of the early eighties. This resulted in the crippling of the program for decades.

During the years of 1985 and 1986, several players, including Sean Stopperich and David Stanley, came forward and said that they had received money to play football for SMU. Stanley claimed that he received twenty-five thousand dollars to sign…

weakness within a very small, inquisitive and personal church in northern Georgia was not a good combination. When I forced myself to take the initiative in ministry opportunities it always came across as disingenuous. I wanted the spot light but did not want to mix with people. Apart from the stage, I was never told what ministry was really going to be like, and when I found it out the hard way, I had to face my calling head on. The toughest decision I ever made was to resign from First…
