Scholarship / All of my life I have struggled with a LD (learning disability); Why do I deserve this scholarship? [4]

I went a little over the words limit so please me what I could do better.

All of my life I have struggled with a LD (learning disability),I've had people make fun of me for that.I'm out to prove them wrong that I can make something of myself despite of the obstacles that have been thrown in my path.I've had people that have really helped me and supported me thorough out my high-school career.My parents struggle week to week living off of a paycheck because they did not go to college.I've always known that I wanted to go college but I didn't know what I wanted to major in until my sophomore year. feel that I can achieve my goal,helping other people,best by majoring in criminal justice and pursing a career with the Arkansas State Troopers.The reason I finally deiced on that career is because of a friend of my dad's,who is know a caption with the ASP.I've seen him on national television busting a drug dealer in Forrest City,Arkansas.

I also have a little sister that is in eight grade,I want her to be able to look at me and be able to say that my big sister went to college with her all of her problems.I look at her with great pride when I see all of what she has done.She also has a LD but with help she has managed to accomplish great things.Last year,she got most improved junior high choir member of the year.But the most important reason I feel I deserve this scholarship because I've proven time and time again that I can overcome any obstacle that comes in my path if I put my mind to it.

Undergraduate / Personal background; Tell us the most important things about you and your life [2]

Directions:Tell us the most important things about you and your life. You may include significant events, personal strengths and weaknesses, etc.(1-3 paragraphs)

This is what I have so far:One of my many strengths is that I always try to find the good in every situation. my parents have always told me that "don't complain about your life because their is somebody out there with a worse problem than what you are dealing with right now."

One of my personal strengths is that I have the ability to stand in front of crowds and sing or present a project without missing a beat. The school I go to is a new tech school. Thats means that we work on projects and then we present are best work to the class. We have done this now for almost four or five years now. This has worked to my advantage because most kids my age are not really prepared for a speech presentation or if they are they get up in front of the class and freeze mid-presentation.

I am also trying to find something else about me to put in a last paragraph.
