Scholarship / I chose Medical Technology; Title for a scholarship essay about me [8]

Hi guys! I was just wondering if you could give me a suggestion on what title my scholarship essay should be?
And what should I add to make the essay more meaningful?

I am required to answer the following questions to fulfill the essay.
1. Why did you take Medical technology?
2. What does it take to be an effective leader?Cite an instance when you were able to demonstrate your leadership
3. How do you relate to others?
4. What have been your involvement in community activities? What was your role and what was the result?

Here is the essay that I had made..

"I chose Medical Technology because it has a wide range of knowledgeable aspect in the field of medicine. Another reason is that I am sure that this course will help me develop numerous skills that I can use in the present and future. I also believe that it offers most of the opportunities that involves knowledge and skills in pursuing my future in the broad range of occupational areas that are available and especially, I chose this course because I know that through this I can contribute to the improvement of somebody's health or quality of life.

For me, an effective leader must also be a good listener. When I was in high school, I was asked to direct the whole class to perform a whole play of El Filibusterismo. Before we started the practice, I gathered them in a group and I asked for their suggestions and opinions, and if everyone agrees then I put what my classmates suggested into action. I listened to all of their opinions and suggestions because our intentions are all the same and it is to improve the performance of the play and finally, within months of preparation we managed to perform the play successfully. It was so rewarding to see that the fruit of my leadership became successful with the help of others.

I relate to others through setting aside once differences. I've learned through experience that setting aside other peoples difference can help you improve your relationship with one another.

One of my involvements in the community is when we taught the out of the school youths in a barangay in our subject NSTP. At that time, I was able to teach little children the alphabet and counting. Even though it is very hard to teach those kids because of the limited space and time that our professors have given to us, the result made me so happy and contented because the smiles that those poor children gave me whenever they learned something new became a reward for me."

Scholarship / I need to ease off my parents' burden; SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY [4]

This is a scholarship essay. I was wondering to whom should I address this letter because our dean didnt gave us anything about to whom do we adress our letter of application.

Here is my essay/letter:

My name is Jenica , a 2nd year BS Medical Technology student of Manila Central University and I am applying for a scholarship in hope of becoming one of the fifteen Medical Technology students who will be granted of the 2013 Handog ng Safeguard Medtechs ng Kinabukasan Scholarship Program. The reason why I wanted to become a scholar is to help my parents to at least lift the heavy burden of overcoming our financial problems due to the expensive cost of education. My parents, Rosaldo and Mila , own a small business wherein they supply fruits and vegetables to restaurants. Even though they have a small but decent livelihood, my parents are still unable to cover all of our expenses. It is not easy for my parents to balance our financial and educational needs because along with me, I still have two other siblings who are currently studying; hence, making it difficult for my parents to pay for our daily expenses and monthly expenditures. My brother, James , is still a 4th year high school student in Colegio De Sta. Cecilia (a school in Valenzuela City). By the time he reaches college, his tuition fee would be higher than the present which would only result to another addition to the fees that our parents are going to pay and also adding to the higher demand and pressure for our parents to fulfil our financial needs. My sister, Kayla , is a 3rd year BS Architecture student in Adamson University who still have two years to study before she becomes an architect and honestly she has a very high amount of tuition fee and my parents are finding it hard to keep up with my sister's gradual increase of tuition fees and costly materials that she needed to buy. If my application will be hopefully granted then I would be able to at least lessen the financial worries of my parents for our education.

During my high school years in my Alma Mater, Colegio De Sta. Cecilia, I've received a lot of medals or awards and I also participated in numerous quiz bees and extracurricular activities. I was a consistent honour student and by the time graduated, I became the 2nd honourable mention. When I was a 2nd year student, I won 3rd place of Tagisan ng Talino (Battle of the Brains)Quiz Bee and later then I was picked to represent my school in the La Consolacion Inter School Quiz Show. I also won every year in the United Nations Quiz Bee, Bible Quiz Bee and many others. I became an officer in CAT and my position is Major G1 Attendance. I was also an active class officer and by the time I became a 4th year student, I was elected as the Environment Secretary in SCB or School Coordinating Body (which is also called as Student Government in other schools). I was also a varsity player in the sport of table tennis. I became a varsity when I was in 2nd year high school and became a consistent champion until I graduated. I am extremely determined to achieve my goals in life such as to become a Medical Technologist. I am also flexible when it comes to balancing extracurricular activities and academics. I always do what it takes and give all of my best to render an impressive result, and with determination, patience and hard work I know I would be able to accomplish my goals in life. If I am given the honour of being a part of this scholarship program I will do my best to maintain my grades and I promise that I will comply with the clause of requirements of this scholarship program. Thank you for considering my application. God Bless.

Sincerely yours,
