Scholarship / "Nothing is impossible" A familiar quote but significant to me, even until now. NTU scholarship [2]
The title is "describe the value and belief you hold strongly to". Critics and grammar marking are welcome:)
"Nothing is impossible" A familiar quote but significant to me, even until now. Yes, if you were determined to strike over something, nothing seems to be unattainable. I was not the top student in junior life. Being overconfident, I had a sense that it was enough for me to be the head of my class. I only came to realize that my thought was ignorant when I entered the distinguished class in senior one. Some of my classmates even look down upon me due to my poorer result. Since then, I decided to study harder than them. I wanted to prove that me, a student who was not in elite class in junior, was also to achieve excellent academic results. With strong will and unshakable determination, I have shown huge improvements. I kept improving myself, either in social skills or academic achievements. At last, I passed my UEC exam with flying colour, after burning hundreds of midnight oils. Also, being talented to liven up the crowd, I was chosen to in charge of organizing entertainment in my club. My determination proved that I manage to handle with mounting pressure of studies in university.
Another salient characteristic of me is my immense propensity to be optimistic. We are constantly facing problems and challenges in our life. If we only see the negative side of the events, we will spend long period wallowing ourselves in self-pity. And that is why I am always able to bounce back from disappointment and get on with my life. In my opinion, we should try to fix the problems and learn lessons from it, rather than reproaching ourselves or kept feeling regret.
I believe that the value and belief I hold will strengthen me to fight a place in scoring the scholarship in NTU. I sincerely hope that the committee will give me a chance by offering me the scholarship and the chance of studying in NTU.
