Courage To Grow Scholarship


Please explain in 250 words or less why you believe that you should be awarded this scholarship.    

I deserve this scholarship because of the amount of things I can do with money. I have excelled at everything I have done in the past and I plan to become very successful. I have been an excellent student as long as I can remember and it all started in elementary school. In elementary school the grading system was numbers and it was from one to five and one was the lowest and five was the highest. The six years I spent there I got only fives on everything.  My success continued throughout high school and middle school. All throughout middle I never received a letter grade below a B and I even received an award for having honor rolls all three year. Things changed a little in high school because I received my first C and also my first D, but I worked hard and was able to raise my grade so that on my transcript I would not have any bad grades and I did not get any. The success I had in school translated to all the sports I played throughout my life.
            In my life I have played five different sports and I have done well in all of them. Baseball was the first sport I played and from what I can remember every game I pitch I did not let up more then one run and I got on base at least once every game. In football I played on both sides of the ball in every game I had a touchdown and at least five tackles. In soccer I scored every other game and my first year of wrestling I went seven and two. In basketball a played AAU on the Jaguars and we won nationals my first year on the team. I played in another league and I average a Double-double and we won the championship. In high school I did not score that much, but I was a great defender so I probably average four points a game and the player I was defending never scored more than me. I did well in sports because I treated it like another class and I just tried to work as hard as I can. 
I know I can succeed if just put my mind to it. I have big goals for the future and I am hoping to impact many lives. Due to my huge goals I might need some more than four years of college. I want to be a doctor and I know I can do it with a little more support. I feel that if I am awarded this scholarship it will help me accomplish my dream and since I have always be successful I know I deserve the scholarship. The money will definitely be well spent if I am awarded this scholarship.
