Scholarship / 'My best on everything' - NTU Scholarship Essay [2]
Enrolling to my current senior high school is one of a few turning points in my life. When I was still in junior high school, all I ever wanted was to get into SMA * Jakarta, which was, and still is, the best public school in Jakarta. All my friends were so excited to be together again in the same senior high. But out of curiosity, I took a placement test in my current senior high school, ***. Little that I know, it turned out that if you took a test, and you passed, you must enter the school, because all other public schools are blacklisted.
It turned out that enrolling here was one of the best decisions I ever made. Here, I pushed myself hard to cope with a rather unusual curriculum. My school basically has 3 curriculums; national curriculum, Cambridge curriculum and Olympiad curriculum. I completed the usual 3-year-national curriculum in my first year at ***. On second grade, I studied both Cambridge and Olympiad. In my senior year, I still study Cambridge for my winter A2 exams and I mostly prepare myself for university entrance examinations.
I always thought I had always done my best on everything, but since I'm in ***, I realized that I still have got so much potential and I can explore and achieve more. *** also taught me to live independently, and to manage my time well. I'm hoping highly I can use my experience and skills that I've learn this past few years, in Nanyang Technology University.
Describe, in less than 300 words, a short essay on a subject of personal importance to you. You may choose any topic. Examples include: an event which has influenced you or a family member/friend/person who had a significant influence on you.
Help me please, if there's any grammatical error or wrong sentences, thank you!
