Reach For Your Future Scholarship
To me, pursuing higher education means access to a future. My entire life has revolved around academics and doing well in school. I have been trained to study and complete intellectual work, especially those of reading and writing nature. The only real career options available to me where I could exercise my skills are those where thinking and conceptualizing are the main focus. In order to pursue these kinds of careers, I feel a college education is needed as it would provide me with the knowledge and experience needed to chase success.
The way I see it, attending college is the only way to secure a life I want to live. I was raised in a family who depended on food stamps, living paycheck to paycheck in a small, cramped house. Because of these circumstances, I have been pushed by those who support me to create a better life for myself. I need a way out that will secure stability for me and college is just that: a place where I can study my specialty and greatest passion, English, in an effort applied towards my career and future. With a college education, I believe I will have a real chance at making my dream career my future reality.
Not only is further education a need, it is also a want as learning is something I enjoy. I prefer spending time in an environment made for productivity of the mind as I find the discovery of new knowledge to be precious. I do greatly enjoy learning new ways to write, finding works to study, and just learning as much about my passion as I can while time will allow it. Being given the chance to explore my passions and pursue a career that I actually want over securing a dead end, meaningless job for a paycheck is something I could never feel more grateful for. I am very thankful for every opportunity that has been given to me and I will work my hardest to make use of them.
This scholarship will absolutely help me in pursuing my career goals as I have previously stated, my family does not come by large amounts of money often. The money awarded to me will help me pay for my journey into higher education that I long for so desperately. With donations to my education funds, I will be able to focus on my studies and career in writing and the English language. I will be given the chance to explore my full potential and create works that could have real impacts on those who experience them.
