Roller Coaster Scholarship

785 Words4 Pages

Funds for My Roller Coaster Ride of a Life Bear with me here. It will probably come to your surprise that I just decided what I wanted to do for a living a week ago. One of the main things that has helped me decide was the positive and supportive environment at Haysville High School. HHS has given me a scholarship opportunity that I am incredibly thankful for. This essay will express my dreams, my financial situation, and my intention on why I need this scholarship. To begin with, a week ago today I realized I want to be a 911 Dispatcher after I needed to call an ambulance for my sister. For starters, as I watched my sister scream in pain, hollering for the ambulance and I hastily called the 911 operator, I had one of those “epiphany moments”. …show more content…

To begin, life has not been particularly easy for me. In fact, it has been lonely and challenging at times. On the contrary, it was not until I came to HHS that I started to develop a concrete vision for my future ahead of me. When my teacher, Mrs. White, told me that I got a 44 on my reading, and a 48 on my writing for my COMPASS tests, it made me so proud of myself. In all honesty, I am now excited to find a college that fits me. Mind you one year ago I possessed not one single plan on going to college. I am finally ready to face my fear of the real world and get my foot in the door. By receiving this scholarship, I have that extra nudge of “you’ve got this” and additional reassurance that I have never developed until now, and I am confident to make everyone surrounding me …show more content…

This is my last year of primary school, and it has sure been a roller coaster of emotions. Specifically I am finally planning my future for myself and I do not think anyone realizes how amazing it feels to finally “know” where you are headed. From eighth grade being devastated over one C in science out of all A’s, to falling behind junior year, and to trying the hardest I ever have to succeed my senior year, I am ready to make these immense

  • A Narrative Essay About Being A Tiger Athlete

    A year ago when this scholarship was released, a senior asked me for ideas to include in their essay and I had absolutely zero. It wasn't until the end of my final basketball season that I really grasped the importance of being a tiger athlete and realized what I was going to miss in the upcoming years. For six years, I put everything I had into one sport, and I asked myself more than once what I was getting out of all this effort. Now after endless hours in the gym and weight room, after shedding ounces of blood, sweat and tears I realize what being an athlete gave back to me, and it's even more than I gave to it. Being a tiger athlete taught me the values of true friendships, hard work, leadership, and determination.
