Scholarship / 'The Mountain to success'- My UWC admission essay [2]
Hello there,
I'm currently working on my UWC admission essay and this is the first time I've applied for a scholarship and I'm fearing immensely. This is my essay:
Topic: Please write a statement of not more than 300 words explaining why you are interested in attending a United World College, describing both what you might contribute to the College and what you hope to gain.
'The enigma of life has always fascinated me. I was privileged to participate in an international excursion with others from my school to Abu Dhabi 3 years ago. It was an adventure I can't forget that exposed me to multi-culturalism, a sense of responsibility, diversity and self-dependence. I envision attending a United world college the right stepping stone to help shape myself into a better person. Forming bonds with other people from different social and cultural backgrounds.
Another motivation for my choosing UWC is the uniqueness of its mission and values and its broadened curriculum. I do enjoy that it shakes up the traditional journey of education, through its provision of a solid grounding for cultivating the dedication and focus I'll need in university. It seems incredible to me that so much can be done and learnt in this time span and I'm eager to take this ride. Attending UWC would help develop and maximize my artistic skills, particularly my skills in mixed media and 3-D sculpting in preparation for university. UWC would be a great step that I would love to take in the advancement of my life goals and aspirations. Being a philanthropist and an iconic political leader in Nigeria has been a lifelong goal of mine as seeing so much deprivation all my life cause by successive bad governance has always inspired me to want to fix things for the better.
Thus, obtaining my international Baccalaureate Degree from one of the UWC schools will be for me, a dream come true. I believe that in helping me develop my leadership skills at UWC I will also be connecting myself with young scholars and future leaders from diverse backgrounds and multicultural experiences which will in no small way transform me.'
any grammar problems, punctuation or improvements will be much appreciated. thanks :)
