Born and raised in an Indonesian average family, I have seen a lot of people my age not getting an adequate education. Luckily my mother values the education level of her children. She made us read kids’ magazines, continuously giving us books to read, and send us to an international school. I have understood the value of education since a very young age. Neither of my parents had the opportunity to attend college; because of this they struggled in their professional lives. After countless sacrifices they made throughout my elementary and secondary school, I now have the chance to be the first in my family to attend college, though I am in need of financial assistance to realize what has been my parents biggest dream. They say book is the …show more content…
Having initiative and a great work ethic will result in honest and accountable companies. A strong work ethic is the fundamental character one should have to be a great business leader. I believe I have a positive work ethic, and this is one reason that I deserve to be awarded the scholarship. During my secondary education, I learned business studies at a glance. At the same time, I also learn basic Chinese. Both study fields fascinates me. However I have never felt that I have learned enough business studies. I wish to increase my understanding about global markets, and am willing to challenge myself to approach world cultures and societies. If the university grants me the scholarship, I will surely invest the money to excel at learning international business, and use the money for attending elective courses or conferences related with my study field. Talking about my long-term goals, studying international business can be counted as a preparation to strive for my career in international relations. Additionally, international business studies will be beneficial for my graduate studies where powerful knowledge of international business is extremely useful. Granting me the scholarship is going to be very helpful educationally and
Education has always been in existence in one form or another. As each child is born into this world regardless of who or where they are born, life lessons immediately begin. He/she will learn to crawl, walk, and talk by the example and encouragement of others. Although these lessons are basic in the beginning they evolve as the child grows. However, the core learning method of a child does not change. Learning from others, they will watch, listen, and then act for themselves. Thomas Jefferson believed that an education would lead men and women to the ability to be self-governed and become positive contributors to society (Mondale & Patton, 2001). Today, we can see how true this is by the examples of others. Those that are given the opportunity for education are more likely to find jobs and develop skills that not only improve a community, but influence the economic growth of their nation (Ravitch, Cortese, West, Carmichael, Andere, & Munson, 2009, p. 13). On the other hand, if an education is not provided to individuals, they can become a hindrance to that nation’s growth.
As such, it provides a multifaceted perspective on the role of education and its limitations with regard to “the American Dream.” As a child, Barack was raised by his single mother in the Southeast Asian archipelago nation of Indonesia. Indonesia today exhibited enormous gaps between the haves and have-nots, with the latter representing a large percentage of the country’s population, especially as one moves farther away from the capitol, Jakarta. Forty years ago, the gap was even worse, far worse, and the wide-scale poverty endemic in much of Indonesia was clearly visible to this young man and his mother. It was in this context that Obama learned the importance of education, describing in Chapter Two his mother’s efforts at inculcating in her son an appreciation for academics “She had taught me to disdain the blend of ignorance and arrogance that too often characterized Americans abroad. But she now had learned, just as Lolo had learned, the chasm that separated the life chances of an American from those of an Indonesian. She knew which side of the divide she wanted her child to be on. I was an American, she decided, and
I was raised in an encouraging household where both of my parents greatly valued education. Although they were high school graduates, neither could afford to attend college; a combination of family and financial woes ultimately halted their path. As a result, my parents frequently reminded me that getting a good education meant better opportunities for my future. To my parents, that seemed to be the overarching goal: a better life for me than the one they had. My parents wanted me to excel and supported me financially and emotionally of which the former was something their parents were not able to provide. Their desire to facilitate a change in my destiny is one of many essential events that contributed to my world view.
Education has always been a priority in my family. My father has come from very humble beginnings; where both of his parents were illiterate. He was raised on a farm with 16 brother and sisters. His parents put their blood and sweat into sending him to America in achieving the “American Dream”. My father had worked multiple jobs to support his family back home in Haiti. Today, my father owns his own taxi driving business stationed in New Jersey and New York City. My father has worked exceptionally hard in supporting and making sure I have all the necessity I need to mature as a person. My father’s parents not being able to read and not being able to assist him in his growing education has lead him to appreciate the idea of education in furthering a person's life. In addition, my father is able to provide for me more then his parents were able to provide for him educationally and financially
I choose to challenge myself by taking honors and AP classes. I can overcome obstacles that stand in my way and persevere through tough problems. I participate in school through my involvement in Student Council as an Executive Treasurer, Key Club as an active member, Varsity Tennis, Science Club, Band as Section Leader and National Honor Society. As well as in school, I help out in my community, whether it’s at my church, as a volunteer at the Bitterroot Public Library, or helping to preserve the Daly Mansion. If I am awarded this scholarship, I will use it towards college tuition and I will work hard to pursue my career as an
The ultimate reason I deserve this scholarship is because I won’t disappoint you. I am very hardworking and I like to take on challenges. Getting this scholarship would help me achieve my dream.
As a first generation college student, we tend to be in need of financial assistance in order to attend college. Scholarships and financial aid would be of great assistance in supporting my goal for higher education, I noticed the only way out of poverty from a single family with low income is to pursuing higher education and obtain a skilled job. Although my father has made many sacrifices to allow me to focus on education throughout high school, but college is just a new level of challenge on financial need ever since my grandma were diagnosed with cancer. She is a strong old lady that never give up fight cancer throughout the past five years, and she taught me never give
I am passionate about making a difference in as many lives as I possibly can. As someone who is also passionate about having a successful future, I believe that achieving this scholarship will allow me to pursue these passions and attain my academic goals of going to graduate school to get my PhD and become a Clinical Psychologist, possibly transfer to UGA as a junior, and to be responsible with my money and the way that I spend it.
There are many strengths and essential skills that are needed to be successful in obtaining educational goals. One that I feel that is my greatest strength in obtaining my educational goals is that I am hardworking. Being hardworking is an important skill to have during college because it shows that I am willing to put in the effort to succeed in my educational and career goals. Being hardworking also shows that I strive to be the best I can be through being organized, having a good work ethic, and being focused. This scholarship would allow me to fulfill the educational goals that I have set for myself.
My long-term professional aspiration is to enter the field of international management consulting. A MBA from your school in interdisciplinary studies will enhance my understanding of all aspects of business. This will contribute significantly to becoming effective in the consulting profession.

Because it has been more than a beautiful and instructive journey here at Miami Dade College,

Parents always look forward to their children’s future. They often try to set up the lifestyle of a child and what should be the goal of the child. But the reality is, the higher the social status of the parents, the higher the education kids might get. When parents have a higher economic and social status, children also become a highly ambitious person because they have brought up to a high-quality status. Often, the children who have brought up in a poor society would be engaged in difficulties in their life. Some of them would be busy to figure out their social status and to survive. They would be less confident because they get less attention and motivation from their parents. The economic condition of the parents will decide whether they will go to school or not. Moreover, the educational demands of a rapidly expanding technological economy have placed increased emphasis on promoting early skills for children. This growing demand for higher achievement levels means even greater harm for those who fall short of achieving these high levels. In the
Five years ago, on the small Island of Jamaica my dream was to earn my Undergraduate Degree in Business with highest academic recognition to make my family proud. (Add how scholarship would help you do this) Achieving the highest academic recognition does not only mean achieving the highest grade, it also means that I apply what I learn to my daily life and to overcome challenges. The opportunity to study Finance here at Rutgers has profoundly changed how I manage my personal finances and that of my family.
In order to answer the question of how this scholarship will make a difference in pursuing my education, I must explain why my education matters to me. Looking at background around allows me to see how getting my education and maintaining a hard work ethic is vital to my character. These values were passed onto me by my parents who helped me get this far in my life and will give me the energy for my future endeavors. By leaving from their home in India to the United States when I was one year old my parents sought to give their children, my two older sisters and I, opportunities that were quintessential to the character of the United States. Much like a lot of immigrants who follow this commonplace voyage we did not have a lot of money at the start of our experience in this new country.
