Why Do I Deserve This Scholarship

I was like any other child when I was little, I wanted to be a firefighter and then a doctor and then an Olympic gymnast, and the list goes on and on. Once I hit middle school I had decided on the medical field. I chose this field not only because I was a weird child who liked learning new things, which you constantly do in the medical field, but you also get to help people. In my freshman year of high school, my pawpaw, who we lived with, passed away due to a heart condition.

After that, I had thought for sure I had found my dream career: a cardiovascular surgeon. Now that I am a high school junior and a soon-to-be-senior, I have chosen a field that is a bit more realistic: - not that a cardiovascular surgeon isn’t, just that I don’t have the determination to go through fifteen more years of school - a biomedical engineer.

My favorite and best subjects tend to be math and science. In the biomedical field, not only can I help people, but I can also do what I love to do. This essay about why I deserve a scholarship explains my purpose and academic path.

The information that you would probably like to know about me is that I am a good, responsible, bright, creative student. I make straight A’s with a 4.0 GPA and I take AP and dual enrollment classes. Not only do I do that but I also hold two jobs, and I also do competitive cheer, and hopefully track.

My first job is coaching gymnastics, which I have done for the past two years. I did gymnastics for eleven years and I didn’t want to quit but my body refused and I had multiple injuries that required surgery. After I quit, my coach offered me a job there and I love it. During my tenth-grade year, I took a break from sports and just worked. The summer before my junior year, a new cheer gym had opened up and although I had never even considered cheer, I tried out. They put me on the highest level team they have there and a few months into practice, I was offered a job there. So now I work at two gyms coaching what I love to do. I decided to add track and field to my schedule as well, which I did in the fall of my junior year. In my free time, which I rarely have, I like to paint. Now I’m not the best artist and I don’t paint anything realistic, but I do paint paintings for my family and friends and sometimes I even get a little money from it. My family doesn’t make the best money which is the reason I would like the scholarship. My mom makes an annual income that is below the poverty line and my dad isn’t exactly in the picture. This is also a reason why I have two jobs. The only way I can pay for college is through scholarships and financial aid. That's why I deserve this scholarship.

This scholarship would help out with the first year of college and I hope that you help me pursue my career. Thank you for taking the time to read this application and I appreciate you for providing financial aid to students.
