Scholarship / "responsibility" - What is the most important thing to you and why? [5]
the scholarship is Young India Fellowship much on the lines of Rhodes Scholarship... Actually the prompt is "What matters the most to you and why" .
The website states following broad ideas of what they are looking for-:
* A deep rooted ambition to make an impact and a passion for an idea or issue which could have wider social/business/academic implications
* The humility to believe that she needs to learn more and an appreciation of the limitations of her specialised undergraduate degree
* The willingness to think differently and chart a new course
* A demonstrated ability to overcome challenges
* Qualities of integrity, self-awareness, energy, initiative and open mindedness
* An above average academic record
I choose the word "responsibility" as it has been the guiding force in taking the decisions in various sphers of life..The basic reason for it as I want to see myself as the person who is responsible not only to his own life but towards the society too.India is growing economy but it has its own shares of corruption and poverty. Almost 30% of Indian population is below the international poverty line.As a doctor, I've seen people loosing their lives because of their own illiteracy and the corruption at all level possible.I feel,for the proper up-liftment of the society, individual responsibility is needed.
This is the basic theme which I want to corroborate upon..If you think responsibility might not be the correct choice, then kindly throw some light on the topic most appropriate to the theme...
sugggestions eagerly awaited :)...and thankyou for the response :)
