This year many students will apply for
scholarships but the number of scholarships will not even approach the demand
of the students. In this situation it is
up to the scholarship agencies to decide who is the most deserving of these
funds. I believe that I am the most
qualified applicant for the R.C. Easley National Scholarship. I have displayed excellence in the classroom,
in extra-curricular activities, and I believe with the education I receive I
will benefit society greatly.
Throughout my high school career I have
prided myself on a difficult class load and consistently good grades. While at Horicon High School I feel I have
challenged myself more than any other student.
Instead of taking the usual study hall I have elected to fill that time
with another class. I will graduate this
summer with a total of 31.25 credits; more than any of my classmates. I have maintained a GPA of 3.938 during
school while taking difficult courses such as physics, calculus, AP
microeconomics, AP macroeconomics, and computer science.
Even though I carry a heavy load of
classes I have found time for extra-curricular activities. I have been involved in golf, Science
Olympiad, math team, Business World, T.E.A.M.S., and I have been involved in
various band functions. I also have had
a part-time job at the local grocery store since the summer after my sophomore
year. I usually work approximately 20
hours a week during the school year.
With the education I will receive while
attending a world-class university I am sure I will have a positive effect on
society. Being an engineer I will be
involved in designing many products that affect everyone. I will use my acquired skills to make sure
every product I work on is the most beneficial to society.
