Scholarship / why you deserve, how the program improves your career, edu, personal goals [15]
Sorry for a rough title, the full title should be as follows: why do you deserve the scholarship, how will the program improve your career, educational and personal goals. this is my first part of the essay. i think this would answer the first question, please give me some comments and suggestion. Many thanks
Scholarships aim to praise and nurture talent. The sponsor usually seek for true passion in a particular field and help them out in their academic path. Considering these objectives, I believe that I am adequate and deserve this scholarship
I am currently a final year Bachelor student at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I am doing my major in Accounting and Finance. And I am pretty good at what I am doing. I have a good background. I graduated from one of the most gifted high school in my country. Then, I went to VUW with a scholarship. I continued to work hard and it paid off more or less. I received an Excellence Award for my genuine performance in Accounting subjects and had myself included in the Dean's List for Excellent Academic Performance.
When I first chose my career path, I did not think much. In fact it mostly depended on my ability, what I can do the best. Therefore I decided to study Business. But soon I started to realise my passion for what I have been doing, especially Accounting. Not that I am good at the subject, but I found interest and enthusiasm. I was amazed by the fact that there is no such clear cut between a right or wrong number in accounting. It is up to the accountant to decide which number he is willing to report. From there, the investors can make their decisions. And Finance is another supplement. I was thrilled just to learn how brilliant people come up with plans and strategies to allocate their money to the best advantage. I may not be the best student to capture all at once but my eagerness and curiosity towartds these fields are just as much as any others'.
My parents both came from poor families but they worked their heart out to give me and my brother such as good living conditions as possible. Thus I felt the need to take responsibilities and look after myself and my study at a fairly young age. Since I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I have to take extra care and work extra hard in everything. Instanstly I found it exhausting and depressing but I got tougher and tougher. I do not let myself give up on things and get defeated. I did my best in most of the subjects even if this means compromising my pleasure time. Having said that, this does not mean I am a total nerd. I have my own personal life where I hang out with friends and enjoy extra curricular activities. I have been practicing belly dance again after a few-year break. I feel refreshed as I can dance again. My other hobby during the spare time is reading some romance while putting on the music. My mates even compliment me on my taste of music.
I will upload the second part as soon as I finish it. Sorry for doing this way because I am quite in a rush. Any advice would be much appreciated :)
