My primary goal for attending college is to be financially fit and also use the knowledge I’ve gained to help underprivileged youth achieve their goals. I come from a poor background where I have struggled to make ends meet. I didn’t receive any scholarships to attend college after high school so I skipped it. The cost of college is a burden that I couldn’t have taken. I used the motivation of when I took time away from school surrounded by people in situations I never wanted to be in. I am also surrounded by drugs and violence daily. My surroundings could have easily influenced me to fall into the wrong crowd. I like to use education as a way to break the cycle of poverty and use what I learn to help others in similar situations. Education
When I finished with high school, I wanted to go to college to study journalism. The only way we would ever afford it was if I earned a scholarship,
Why do I want to attend college? College is an honorary achievement and it separates the determined from the undetermined. Owning a college to degree is an honor and an ecstatic feeling. Through college, that job is that much closer in the grasp. Through college, a person can perform at an elite level and really push themselves for greatness. I wish to attend college to further enhance my education, to be a first generation college student, and to become a better version of myself.
Bridgette Nicole once said, “One of the most courageous decisions you’ll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul.” As a 10-year-old kid going through a divorce, my life felt that it was crumbling. My dad and I had a very close relationship, but after my parents got a divorce, I lost a lot of time getting to see him. Life without a parent can shape a life that was unexpected. I am the best candidate for this scholarship because I have experienced a hard and unwanted event, but I have grown from it and become a better and stronger person because of my parents, which will help me power through college and become a civil lawyer.
My story starts when my parents decided to move from Poland to America to raise a child. For me this was not of much significance because I thought life overseas was the same is it was here. I did not understand why they would come to a country where they had to learn another language and start their lives over. As I got older I started to think about why people come here instead of staying in their native countries, it was not until I experienced it for myself that I knew how important my education was.
If you don’t wake up every morning wanting to be the best, then you should just stay in bed. Becoming a successful person is formed by hard work and the people I love have shaped the future for me. Since my family has taught me that change can be certain and radical in adjusting lives, I would like to hold that capacity sometime in the future. I look for the ability to enhance my life and additionally the lives of everyone around me. Being the first person in my family to attend college has the lit the fire inside of me. This has been a dream of my family and mine. Going to a University has strengthened me to work as hard I can. Although my parents have become successful, they had to struggle
Every Great Dream Begins with a dreamer, always remember you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to Change the world! The dreamers are saviors of the world! Never let go off your DREAMS! Men are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreams.
To dream is to desire an achievement which seems unobtainable. Most everyone has trouble convincing themselves that their dreams are within reach. Jim Carrey once said, “So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.” This is a result of allowing dreams to remain dreams and, instead, opting to take a more reliable path. In doing so, a sense of emptiness that never completely dies out is often developed. Jim Carrey has spoken publicly numerous times about his feelings toward following dreams, however, his commencement speech at the Maharishi University of Management stands out the most. Carrey's experience as an actor undoubtedly aided in his ability to project a highly impactful message to his audience.
Everyone dreams. It is simply a fact of science. From the day one is born until the day he dies, he will dream. Not ambitiously but literally. Dreams occur during the REM stage of sleep because that is where the brain is most active. Biology can explain why dreams happen,
As a young adult, I get asked this question quite often, “why is your college education so important to you?”. Throughout the years I have explained it differently each time as I have matured as an adult. There are probably a million reasons why college education is imperative, but I will narrow it down to the top three most important reasons why college is so important to me. The number one reason my college education is so necessary to me is because I am blessed with the opportunity to be a role model for my child. Another reason why college education is important to me is because it opens a whole new world of opportunities and experiences in life, I want to leave myself with many options when it comes to life choices. Accordingly, knowledge is highly important to me and getting a college education is an excellent place to start to obtain the knowledge of the world.
Dreaming is a huge part of people’s lives. Dreams happen to everybody and are different to everybody. They tell a lot about a person’s life. Dreams are viewed differently by so many people. People have opinions on what makes dreams happen, what dreams are, and what they mean. The way our brain creates a dream is fascinating and interests many people.
Everyone has a dream. Although these dreams aren’t the ones you have while sleeping, they are the ones that drive you, challenge you and keep you fighting for the reality that they will become true. They are the dreams that you will work hard for. Martin Luther King Jr. even died while fighting for his dream to become a reality. They are the ones you hope will one day become a reality. They are the dreams of a better education, better wages, better living conditions, equality, and they are the dreams of a better life. So then what exactly does the “American Dream” mean to people, how are these dreams achieved by those who are not native to our country, why do some people make it while others fail and who does the “The American Dream” really belong to?
I believe that I should be awarded this scholarship for many reasons. The main reason why I should be awarded this scholarship is because I have learned to have courage. Developing courage has enabled me to take risks, be a decision-maker, and a responsibility-taker. By having courage, I have learned that the fear will never go away as you continue to grow. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it. True strength is keeping everything together when everyone expects you to fall apart. Courage expands when we initiate in an area we fear
As a female of Hispanic origin growing up with a single mother and grandparents with a low proficiency in English, I had to face many socio-economic obstacles. Due to a lack of the English language skills I realized how much more difficult their lives were. Being bilingual, I understand how these obstacles make it difficult to access basic needs such healthcare, education and employment. I am interested in one day working as a social worker in a community like my mothers and educating young people in these communities about the importance of obtaining proper resource services in the safest way possible.
What makes me an ideal candidate for the scholarship program is a very hard question to answer, in which I for one cannot answer alone. However, I can set some of my attitudes, values, and traits and share my characteristics as a person that I hope can help me to be qualified for this scholarship. First and foremost, upon applying to this scholarship, there is only one thing that is set to my mind, and that is to help my parent’s in their expenses throughout my college, I know that college is by far the most expensive enrollment that a student to enter, for this serves as a stepping stone for students success, or me rather to pursue my future career in the future. The essence of entering college serves very important part to me, for this is an
