I have in the past overcome obstacles. In
classes which the subject has not come easily to me I have found extra help
and spent extra time to do well. In particular, there was a math class in
which the concepts seemed like a foreign language. Yet I was able to work
with the teacher and study extra material to not only pass the class, but
pass it to the best of my ability. This shows my willingness to not only
work hard, but to work hard when there is a challenge. I believe anybody
can do well when the subject matter comes easy to them, but the true merit
of one's ability is shown when their back is up against the wall. I
succeed not only in subjects that come easy to me, but in those that do
not. I am willing to put in the extra work in all academic areas- those
which are easy and those which are difficult to me. This sets me above and
beyond the average
Before I can show my potential, overcome the obstacles,
and put my academic ability and my intelligence to work, I need help
financially. Not having been given full financial freedom to pursue my
academic interests, the scholarship will be of great benefit to me.
Without having to risk falling into debt or not being able to study as I
would like would be advantageous to me. Receiving this scholarship would
pay huge dividends to my life, and I would use its benefits to the fullest.
This scholarship is perfect for me as a hardworking student and will
benefit me in countless ways. It will give me freedom to pursue my
academic studies, and I am a fitting person to receive the scholarship as
not only do I need it, but I will maximize its value.
