Scholars=Dollars

Once I had my college figured out I could finally apply for some scholarships to hopefully pay for some  schooling. I didn't really know where to start but I was referred to the website fastweb.com to do the work for me. Once I filled in my info it popped up 29 scholarships I was eligible for. After looking over all of them I got started. The first few just required to submit info about myself, the others required short essays.

My first essay submission was on the topic, "Why do you deserve this award."
It was a simple question but not necessarily had a simple answer. So I wrote in pure honesty. I write best that way.
I expressed my passion and love for art and how it was a huge outlet in escaping some of the hard times. I  talked about my past a bit and how being awarded a scholarship would also prove something to myself. Most important, I talked about how my parents had to take the burden of paying all my CF expenses since I was 2 and by receiving scholarships I'd finally feel like I can give something back to them after 18 years.

They deserved it. They push me when it's needed and if it weren't for their advice, I would not have enrolled in college.
I may get the award and I may not but I can at least know that I tried. Besides I have 25 more still to apply for so I best sign off now and get back to work!
Wish me luck with my entries! I'll post more about them soon.
