I am 16 and am writing an essay for a scholarship. Please read and tell me what you think. I still have to add more but this is what I have so far. PLEASE be honest. I don't care if it hurts I need this scholarship.
Why do I deserve this scholarship? Honestly, I don’t think anyone can answer that question accurately. But it’s not only that I want to get an education, that I want to achieve my goal in life, or that I am working hard in High School. Truthfully, I want to help my mom. I want to be able to help her if anything happens. She was out of a job for two years and we were homeless for one. She started over her entire life and I was there to watch. It is amazing what school can do for you. I always thought it was not worth it until she went back. Watching her taught me that it’s never too late but it also made me realize that I don’t want to wait to get this education. So I may not be an athlete and I might not be the valedictorian of my class but I want to go to college make something of myself and help people all through my life.
