Entitled. I'm not entitled to anything, but I believe I am entitled to this scholarship. I am not going directly into agriculture, I am going to Ferris state university, where I will be in the welding program. I have been in 4-H clubs since i was eight years old along with other sports and afterschool activities. I have been preparing for this since I was a little kid, following my fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers steps and continuing the family farm has been a lifelong dream. My father is a side job welder and full time farmer. Because of my family's low income with farming, I am one hundred percent on my own for college.

To start my claim to my entitlement, I am a hardworking young teen unlike most, I grew up around the farm cleaning cow pens and bailing hay, I am seventeen and a two sport athlete, holding down a steady job. I am in three 4-H clubs, this is my ninth year of showing lambs, sixth year showing chickens and my third year in competition shooting. I live a fast past life of work and helping my family where I can around the farm. This shows that I'm not a blow off kid that is begging for money that will just blow it away. I am going to college to create a steady revenue so I can assemble a prospering farm of my own. …show more content…
