The Cox Scholarship

As a senior, the concept of attending college constantly remains on the forefront of my focus. Between keeping up with schoolwork, participating in an abundance of activities, and applying for countless scholarships, senior year has been physically and mentally challenging; however, I believe that the time I have put in will yield positive results. I hope to earn the Cox Scholarship based on my academic achievement and tremendous work ethic.
As with many students, the most important components of my college career will consist of studying and attending classes to maintain the best grades possible. This is a philosophy that I have lived by since the earliest stages of my education, and it has positively affected all aspects of my schooling.

I believe my 4.0 grade point average acts as a symbol of my dedication to learning both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, the effort and drive behind my actions reflect the general work ethic which I possess in other areas of my life.
Throughout the school year, I participate in a multitude of activities ranging from academic clubs to music-oriented organizations. As an active member in each of these institutions, the little free time I possess is typically dedicated to completing homework and studying for upcoming assessments; however, I continue to maintain an “A” average and excel in these activities. This is because I fully immerse myself into my hobbies and work with passion and dedication—two characteristics which will help me to succeed in my college and professional careers.
My success in both academics and extracurricular activities is merely a product of my strong work ethic. Of course, not every activity received the same amount of attention, but I put forth my best effort as often as possible. Through my actions during my high school years, I believe I have presented myself as a hardworking individual with the potential to grow and to make a positive impact on my community.
