Just a busy day and a busy week to come

 Tuesday 9:11 PM


Well today was just a normal day and I don't have much to comment on but I thought I would make a post nonetheless. I finally started writing a scholarship essay today after months of delay from my scrambled mind because I had time weirdly enough. Honestly, I might have just started because I have a scholarship thing with CollegeDepot this Thursday and I want to have some stuff written down before I go even if it's bad. I only have an intro for my first essay in my first scholarship. In total, I need 5 essays for both scholarships that I am applying to. It's not bad because they are general applications, which means I am actually applying to several. I think ill list the prompt and my small response below so you can give me some advice. I wrote it like 7 minutes ago and it took me 15 minutes, so it is very drafty or new.

Please provide a short essay (500 words or less) that discusses your service experience and commitment to campus activities/campus leadership or serving your local community. High school or collegiate service experience can include work within your department or college, service organizations, fraternities and sororities, honorary organizations, etc.

 

I had never been highly involved in school activities until I entered high school. The summer before my freshman year I vowed that I would become more open and participate in school events as a way to break out of my shell. Fortunately, my school required twenty community service hours preventing me from taking back my promise. I wondered how I would achieve these hours. I could volunteer at a food shelter or maybe a dog shelter I wasn’t completely sure, all I knew is that I had to make an impact. Luckily my answer was in my school’s daily announcements. As the speaker in the intercom said the words “Service Saturday’s” all my problems drifted away and my weekend was full.


That's all I got, see you soon. Night!

  1. Yay! Another Ale's Days blog post! I was so excited when I got another email! What are you gonna w College Depot? For your essay I like the part where you mentioned your vow and keeping your promise. I think that communicates determination to the reader. I think it's a strong start! 😃
