Scholarship / Getting involved to get connected; Tmw's Leaders Scholarship [3]

I am applying for a Tomorrow's Leaders Scholarships. Please revise them grammatically and help me to make any improvements. Unfortunately, the deadline is Dec. 31, 2012 so I don't have much time. I'd be grateful if you check them soon. I am waiting your respond ASAP.

Essay : This scholarship program is called "Tomorrow's Leaders." Describe in 250-300 words how you envision playing a leadership role at the university and after you graduate.

What does leadership mean? Does it have synonyms such as administration or authority as the dictionaries claim? Is it the ability of a superior to influence the behavior of (those who believe in him/her) a group of people to follow a particular course of actions? It's so controversial. However, leadership to me is the actions we accomplish to make the world a better place without focusing on seeking positions or other leading purposes.

Therefore, I am willing to show potential for distinction in the academic performance and social life. The best way to do so is getting engaged in various activities with diversity of students to absorb the beauty of each culture. (That's why) I am planning to organize events for raising funds to support the education of less privileged children. (As I know what they've been through, hence I can relate to their struggles) I have been through this problem. Joining clubs and holding awareness sessions would be another option to help improving student's skills to present a cadre of tolerant, well-educated and open-minded people to community. (Because) inspiring others to search for knowledge kindles my own quest to understand the world and people around me.

Beside the involvement in academic and leadership positions, I am active in athletics and ranked as a very good swimmer according to my city club. I intend to participate in swimming contests. I am determined also to join or organize a theatrical band to offer shadow shows.

As a patriotic leader, after graduation I will come back home to serve my country. This would be done through giving the young a chance to enjoy the fruits of science and technology by holding sessions in schools to present science (in a fascinating way) compellingly.

Getting involved in such activities can help me gaining the necessary skills to succeed, but getting involved to get connected (but getting involved to build connections with people) can be even more beneficial.

Essay 2: Explain why you have chosen your planned field of study, why this field of study is important to you or your country, and how you plan to use the education you will gain after you graduate.

Physics is a word of seven letters; however, it controls the whole universe and to me it's a major of study. My interest in physics stems from my eagerness to better grasp the interrelationship among forces, matter, space and time. Two years ago, I have been watching a documentary series about mysteriousness in nature which left me with more questions than answers. That pushed me to search more and more but as long as I searched, my inquiries increased. Since then, I strove with a steadfast determination to specialize in physics.

After the Egyptian revolution, we realized that we live with a poor infrastructure. Until now, we thoroughly depend on fossil fuels which about to end. 2012 has come and we haven't attempted to conquer the space yet. Though, Egypt was the most massive civilization for centuries which made a big difference in mathematics, medicine...etc. and developed mummification to preserve their kings' bodies 5000 years ago, it is a developing country now. That's really a mess! Therefore, I'm prompted to get into science, but why physics specifically? Firstly, physics as a major is falling in between other fields. Now, there is a serious lack of competent and enthusiastic physics young students. Secondly, physics is the fundamental science which has a key role to play in environmental and energy problems Egypt will face.

Despite the magnificent record of achievements in physics history, great mysteries remain which need continuing the research at a furious pace. That's why I am planning to do more research on the relationship between man's brain and electric circuits which will help enhancing the human performance since childhood.

It's a long way to go but as long as I have the will, I can achieve it no matter how long it takes.
