Scholarship / 'my higher studies in Pakistan' - Need-based Scholarship Essay [4]
Hey, I am applying for a need-based scholarship in one of the top universities of my country.
I have to write a 200 word essay on,
'Describe a situation or an experience of your life which demonstrates your best characteristic or quality'
(Note: The 11th and 12th grade is equivalent to FSc and A levels. 9th and 10th is Matric and O levels.
FSc/matric is the local degree and A levels(expensive) is internationally recognized. Both systems are completely different from each other)
I have started writing but haven't completed it yet. Anyway, here goes:
Only a few months ago, I was staring at the crossroads of my life, lost and confused. I had given my final O levels and it was time to answer that ever daunting question, FSc or A levels? Since I will pursue my higher studies in Pakistan, it only seemed sensible to opt for the local system but switching over to something completely different at this crucial juncture sounded foolish. A tornado of questions swirled in my mind for weeks. I sank deeper and deeper into apprehension and fear as my friends and teachers stood firm against FSc.

....how does that sound?
