Scholarship Essay
500-1000 word essay describing the importance of a college education and exceptional community service and extra-curricular activities you have been involved in.

Education is one if not the most important thing for me to achieve. That is why a college education is at the top of my list. Both my parents put high excellence first, without an education you can't hope to become anything. They both believed in working hard and earning your way through life rather than being given everything. That is why I find education to be the key to success in order to achieve anything in life you need an education preferably a higher level education. I see people here in the U.S. and going to college is no big deal for them when their young. But, when they get older they realize how important a college education really is.

Being born in Nigeria I know and understand the importance of a college education. Graduating from high school means absolutely nothing. Graduating from college is when it is seen that you have achieved and even then it still means nothing if you don’t have a job. In Nigeria securing a college diploma doesn’t automatically mean that you get a job. In fact there are thousands of people who graduated at the top of their class and are still looking for jobs. So, being here in the U.S. with an opportunity to achieve that my peers don’t have; I’m going to take that opportunity and be the best that I can be. So, that not only do I graduate as one of the best but that I secure a place for myself when it’s time to go out in the working field. Not only do I place high importance on a college education, but I also believe that my community service hours and extracurricular activities will aid me in becoming a leader of tomorrow.

One of my involvements in school activities was earlier this year when my Spanish teacher wanted to throw a party. I was one of the major people who helped her plan the party and decorate; we spent an entire week making sure everything was perfect. Another involvement was in 10th grade when I was SGA historian and I helped plan New Town High School’s first sophomore dance. Other instances which I have demonstrated by ability to follow and regulate the rules were last year when I was Poetry Editor and I was involved in the planning and distribution of our Literary Magazine “The Promethean Pen.” There were suppose to be at least 7-10 people aiding us and we only had a week left to put things together, print and distribute. But in the end it all fell on only three of us and we all worked together, it was one of the best editions we’ve ever made. Furthermore, during the summer I worked at Liberty Senior Center as a volunteer and I was mainly involved with setting up for lunch, distribution of foods and cleaning up afterwards. But, these little activities helped me realize how something so small can be quite a task. Setting, distributing and cleaning all take a longer time when you have to do one after the other. Doing these things helped me greatly with my communication skills because I talked with some of the workers there and was under their guidance during my couple of days. Then later when I got the hang off it, I was able to do it on my own. The importance of a college education, community service and extracurricular activities have all helped and will help me to become a better leader, better student, and to be able to work with others and cooperate with them and get things done even when under pressure.
