Do you feel community service is important to a community? Why or why not? Explain your answer in two or three paragraphs. Community Service is important for many reasons. Taking part and volunteering teaches compassion and understanding. One of my favorite things about community service is that there are opportunities and choices everywhere! You can volunteer for something you really believe and have an interest in, and can volunteer as much or as little as you’d like or have time for.
Since I was young I have always volunteered for my Catholic Youth Group.
At first I didn’t know many people there and wasn’t very enthusiastic. Later, as I got to know the other kids and starting pushing myself to join in the activities, I learned to enjoy and relish my time there. Some activities we did was decorating the nursing home for Christmas, singing carols, writing letters to the residents, and just sitting there visiting and listening to what they had to share.
I have realized how important the elderly are to our society and I truly appreciate the advice they gave me.
It was a very rewarding experience and I got to do many things I wouldn’t have had an opportunity to do otherwise. As I move through life I think I will always be involved in community service. Not just because I think it is important but because it is something I enjoy and look forward to. I love bringing joy and through community service I feel I can accomplish that.
If this scholarship application is to be evaluated based on financial need, explain how plan to pay for your college expenses. I plan on paying for college through student loans and hopefully through scholarships I receive.
I am a part of a large family – eight children- with a limited income. I live on a family ranch 40 miles out of town and my parents don’t have the income to pay me or pay my gas to drive into town to get a job. I was afraid that attending a university would be out of my financial reach. I was not even sure where the money was going to come from, but after research and discovering about scholarships, I realized college is possible. I now know that I can do whatever I choose; I just have to take action to obtain my goals.
Why do you feel you are worthy of this scholarship? I feel that there are three main reasons why I deserve this scholarship. Some qualities that I possess are persistence, my uniqueness, and my hard work ethic that helps me to overcome obstacles. Also, I already have my goals in place to achieve my dreams; this scholarship will be a stepping stone that will help me get there. I have always been persistent. It started when I was young and begged my parents to let me join 4-H so I could raise my own livestock. Now, I use this skill in my everyday life.
I am very busy and am very involved in my school and community. On top of my work load, I try to utilize every spare moment I have to apply for scholarships and prepare for college. Persistence is vital in my life because without it I know that I would give up easy. Even when I feel overwhelmed I know that I can do whatever the job is by continuing to persevere. Thankfully, there is only one of me. No one else is exactly like me and has my attitude about life. Growing up in a large family of eight children, I feel that I am mature and have always taken on a leadership role.
I understand the importance of organization and efficiency. I can see what needs done and do it! Also, one of my brothers has autism; this has taught me to not judge someone by an outside appearance and to accept everyone as they are. I want to obtain a degree in college to better myself and help to secure my future. College is about having fun and being social, but I place a very high value on my grades and they are my top priority. Please tell me I can’t do something because I will try even harder to prove you wrong!
Like many other students I know, I have traveled a bumpy road to get where I am today, but those obstacles gave me strength and helped me appreciate the truly important things in life. Growing up on a ranch has instilled in me a hard work ethic and a want to see and job well done. After working all day, when I am hot, sweaty, tired, and sunburnt, if I can see that I did a good job and people are pleased with my work then I know I succeeded and that is what I want in life. As my dad preaches, you don’t appreciate things in life if they are handed to you. This is a statement I truly believe in and plan to apply it in my life.
Where do you see yourself in five years? I see myself in five years being graduated from college with my bachelor’s degree. I plan on graduating at the top of my class and working hard to excel my way to the top at my job. I hope to be employed in either Montana or Wyoming as the head nurse in a facility. Where do you see yourself in ten years? In ten years I hope to be firmly established in my job and on the way of raising a family. By then, I want to own my own house and have a stable income to provide for myself and family. Also, in ten years I plan on being at the top of my career ladder.
