Scholarship / I have financial constraints for pursuing a tertiary education; SCHOLARSHIP/ Reasons [8]

The reasons I apply for the scholarship.

Continue my study to tertiary level with the help of scholarship is very significant to me as it is the way to make my dream come true. One of the reasons for me to apply this scholarship is because I believe that I deserve this scholarship.

"When you do the best, God will do the rest" - this quote is the lamp that guided me, and always will, throughout my academic career. I still remember how uncomfortable I felt when I missed lessons due to falling sick. I never wanted to let classes go unattended. I never wanted to put off my studies until the exams reached close. I was always responsible, enthusiastic and organized student. I had a big dream since my young days. I want to be a learned man and serve my nation. This vision of mine motivated me to excel in studies. During high school studies, I got the highest score in a Chemistry quiz competition organized by my school. I was chosen to represent my class to participate the Chinese calligraphy competition and I got the second prize for that. And I have done reasonably well in SPM examination due to my hard work. I believe that I deserve this scholarship because I am diligent in my study.

As the saying goes, "All works and no play makes Jack a dull boy". I was never a "dull boy". I have had taken part in many activities which held by different society or clubs, I was then be given chance to organize activities with others and lastly I was given the opportunity to be the president of St. John Ambulance in my school, vice treasurer of Chinese Language Society,and Lollipop Chairman of Interact Club. These positions and the activities I had taken part taught me how to manage my time well in order to maintain my good grades while engaging in extra-curricular activities. More than everything else, it taught me to be an excellent team player. It is not a problem for me to complete a task in group, and to maintain my academic performance while participating in other activities.

Now that I finished high school and equipped with all qualifications and credentials to pursue tertiary education. However, I now face the biggest hurdle of finding support to finance my further education. My father's sickness brought many financial hardships to our family. Him being the only bread winner in our family, I have no one else to turn for support. William Penn said, "No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown", I am so agree with his words. I know that it is not an easy thing for me to just give up my dream, so that I would not give it up and try my best to find a way out. This is why I am so keen about winning this scholarship that would help me live my dream for me, for my community and for my country. I do hope I can get this scholarship to continue my tertiary education. For me, scholarship is not only the money for my education fees but is also an invisible staircase which makes me step closer to the success. Thank you.
