Scholarship / A short bio to help fundraise for students to go abroad... [3]

The essay is for an event in the college's largest community fund raiser. Where as a student I the student have to write a short bio explaining what year of studying I am in, whats my major, what scholarships have I received, and what are my plans for the future.

Hello, my name is Belle and I am a part time student at BC as well as a part time sales associate. I am the first in my family to enter into college determined to graduate with a profession. I am currently in my second year of college in the Liberal Arts program in search of an inspiring major that fits me. Undecided about my profession and changing my major a couple of times has lead a desire to search for a profession that interests me, which brought me aspiration to see the opportunities by studying abroad. Fortunately, BC is sponsored by the program, College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS). Therefore I took advantage and applied to study in the International College of Seville (ICS) in Spain, to find my calling and in the meantime improve in the Spanish language. Acceptance into the program led me to apply for a financial scholarship known as the, Summer Scholarship to Study Abroad (SSSA), which thankfully helped me pay off my personal abroad debits. Now that I had new experiences and seen more life opportunities to go for from my abroad experience, it has deepened my desire to pursue for a profession where I am able to travel and learn new languages, cultures and find my field in the arts. As for my future I hope to graduate with a profession in the arts field and traveling benefits.

Any corrections for my short essay would really be appreciated:)

When I first learned about Broward's Summer Study Abroad Program, I knew that I wanted to participate. Traveling overseas to Europe has always been one of my dreams; therefore studying abroad was the opportunity of a life time. I am a junior graphic design student and since I can remember I had a passion for the arts. Now having the opportunity to explore the country of beautiful arts, I knew Spain was the country I had to visit. While in this trip, I anticipate visually seeing and contemplating the live artworks, fulfill one of my dreams and attain my independence.

While I can read the definitions or study about its history, the only way for me to really understand art is by experiencing it personally. Getting inspired by arts at a different level will improve my works. How can I get moved by seeing a picture of Guernica in a textbook? Its outstanding size and the shocking effect it produces, gets lost in translation. I will make sure to use my time in Spain wisely by soaking on the many artistic expressions of the Spanish People. At the Reina Sofia museum, I will learn about the best of 20th century Spanish art from the work of luminaries such as Picasso and Dali. The information that I will discover will be vital to my development as a junior graphic design student. Examining the creative arts will influence me and help become visually understanding of how people interpret a message through an artwork, and apply this understanding on my works. It will give me a background that I could not get from simply picking up a text book.

Apart from all the educational benefits, studying abroad will help me become a more independent person. This program will teach me how to familiarize with a new culture by allowing me to become accustomed to different living arrangements and situations. Also, as the eldest in a single parent home I hope that living in a foreign country will encourage me to me to be self-sufficient, by preparing me to move out and obtain a job that is reliable. Living with people who have a different background to mine and who share a different perspective of the world will help me keep an open mind, and increase my appreciation for cultural diversity.

Going to Spain will be a totally new experience for me, granting me one of my dreams. This will be the first time that I travel alone overseas and the purpose can't be any more different. Knowing that I have the privilege to study in Spain, and experience the different culture like the art, food, music, literature, etc I get super thrilled.

As a junior graphic design student, studying in Spain is the ideal opportunity for me to expand in my major, such as learning to explore the different and exceptional arts that exist overseas. Furthermore accomplishing my dream, of experiencing the different lifestyle of the Spanish traditions and for me to gain my independence will positively be an increasing desire for more adventure and knowledge of the different culture.

Scholarship / "will be like an adventure to me" - Study abroad scholarship essay, to spain [8]

3)Also why i chose that program 4) i have to write aspitaions & my future plans
please help & i would be more than happy if u tell me ur point of view of it, what im missing, what i can add/remove, grammar,punctuation, anything Thanks:)

Going to Spain would complete one of my goals which is a desire for new experiences, especially having the opportunity to study overseas and explore a different life style. It will be a privilege for me to live in Spain and learn about their culture from an acquired experience and not in a traditional classroom setting. Not only will living in another country allow me to have a great experience but it will also increase my appreciation for cultural diversity. I love the fact that when I live in Spain I will be able to learn and live the Spaniard's culture, like their language, food, life style, music, history and much more. I know that studying abroad in Spain will give me more advantages in my degree since Spain is a country where there is a lot of art that will provide me with more creativity and help me progress in my profession as a graphic designer by inspiring me at my work. Another advantage from studying abroad in Spain is that Spain's main language is Spanish, (the language that is spoken almost worldwide) and living in Spain will improve my Spanish academically which will help me in Spanish skills, opening more opportunities for me in my career in the future.

2nd paragraph) Studying abroad will benefit me personally, by allowing me to become more independent, increase my deep commitment to personal growth and to become comfortable with any environment; although I like to meet new people and strive for new things I would like to familiarize with new environments and people on my own. I currently am the oldest daughter at home followed by two younger siblings leading me to be persistent and be a role model at home by working a part time job to help support the family and work my way through college. Therefore assisting this program will help me have more experience as well as allow me to enjoy, interact and adapt to people with a different culture from mine. This program will also benefit me by allowing me to accustom to different living arrangements and situations.

3rd paragraph) This program of study abroad will be like an adventure to me where I will get to meet a lot of new people and grow to be like a family. Knowing the fact that I will be staying at a family's home will help me built more confidence with other people far from home and will help me grow in my traveling experience. (Not to mention it will profit my profession when in my resume, I state that I have experience traveling and living far away from my personal home.) I have been traveling from a very young age with my parents but never so far away from home, thus now traveling on my own for the first time will allow me to see this experience as an adventure letting me have a memorable time. As a first timer studying overseas will be like a dream come true visiting another country completely different from what I am use to seeing; although I have traveled to different places before, like several different states, my national country, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas Island, I believe that living in Spain will be a more amazing experience.
