Scholarship / Is this a good motivation letter? [2]

This is how I think about for your essay:
1. you can add in how you feel or think about for the university, like ranking, good facilities, and wonderful environment to study there.
2. it probably just me, but I feel that your 2nd paragraph sounds a bit sarcastic, like you belittle that the faculty of engineering is inferior to medicine, I would avoid mentioning this part if I were you.

3. you can talk about your future plan, like becoming a programmer or someone professional, and hope to do something impressive, blah blah blah.

that's all, if you are kindly enough, will you look through my essay and give me some opinion? I will be much appreciated. dun worry about criticizing me, it's better to add in some strong point than to miss the chance for a scholarship^^

Scholarship / NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE; Values and Beliefs you hold strongly to; SCHOLARSHIP [5]

Hey, Thanks for your help Mancho. What I mean by "hand-on-type" is to emphasize on the idea that I love to create or invent things ( of course I need to use my mind to innovate stuff). ya that's what engineers do and I don't want you to get the wrong idea of me haha. Thanks again^^

Scholarship / NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE; Values and Beliefs you hold strongly to; SCHOLARSHIP [5]

"Describe, in less than 300 words, the values and beliefs you hold strongly to. Please provide examples of how you have demonstrated these in your actions."

There is nothing impossible in this world provided one has the necessary willpower and determination to do it. That's right, "Where there is a will, there is a way" is the belief that I hold strongly to and keeps me fighting on until now and forever. When I was young, my results are very poor, but with the influence from my family and friends, I decided to change my lifestyle and strive hard for a better future. With strong will and unshakable determination, I have showed huge improvements. From a boy played around all the time to a man who enjoys reading, learning and thinking, I have become mature and sensible in these years.

I may not be the top student in school but I am not inferior to them when it comes to perseverance. Bill Gates said" I failed in some subjects in exam, but my friend passed in all. Now he is an engineer in Microsoft and I am the owner of Microsoft." His words has inspired me and taught me that failure is the best teacher to success. I don't have any special talent that makes me popular in school but my perseverance and charisma shape me to a lovable person among my friends.

Perhaps I am not the study-type-person as you can refer in my UEC result. But action speaks louder than word, I am more of a hands-on-type person as I always in charge of the science fair in my school and I can handle experiments very well. This is why I choose to be an engineer.

I think luck is what I really need now and I sincerely hope that the scholarship selection committee will give me luck by offering a scholarship and a chance to study in your university. Thank you.
