Rose, I made a few corrections on the first part of your scholarship application. I have to take a break.
However, please mind the following;

- when writing, "I" should always be capitalIze

- punctuation marks, though you need to use in order to break your sentences, there are other punctuation marks such as comma (,), that you can use to break your sentences and not just a period (.)

- spell check and proof read, this is always a great practice

- when referring to a nation or a country as a subject, you need to capitalize the first letter of the name of the country, e.g., Russia, Turkey, Asia..etc..

I'll get back to you as soon as possible, now try to work on proof reading your essay one more time and following how I made the corrections, try to make the corrections on the next paragraph.

Keep writing

Cheers!!!

Hi, I would be more than happy to help with your essay. First, change the spelling of Turkey throughout the essay. Capitalize Europe and Asia. Also, capitalize, "I" throughout your essay.

I. When you state, "is high quality education", you need to revise it to: is a high quality education. When you are listing the different traits you have to begin your sentence. Ex: I like cooking, reading, and music. Some words need to come before different skills and way of thinking to help the reader understand the meaning. Study needs to be studying. Make sure you are forming contractions correctly, im should be I'm. I'm unsure what you mean by patch aspirations. Would you like to help them achieve their aspirations? Change this sentence to:

" So we will be self-prepared to compete globally".

II. I think it is better just to state that everyone has the potential to be educated rather than use dig. I would change choose to choosing. I'm not sure what you mean by the modern influx from the west. I think you should delete this part of the sentence: which take an important role and add "the" before west. The next sentence is too confusing. I think you mean you will be exposed to the latest information. Change this sentence to: "Another benefit is enjoying beautiful friendships with other students that are coming from everywhere." You begin to speak in past tense. Change finished to finish.

III. I can't understand the ending of the second sentence. I will show you how to change the next sentence: Design is not only a picture and text, design is about how to manage colors in harmony and have a strategy to make the reader get the message of itself . Word choice is important when you are writing in English. That is why this sentence has very few errors. Capitalize the first letter of every word when you begin a new sentence.

Companies should be capitalized (i.e. Apple, Inc.) This sentence needs to be combined because it is starting to become an incomplete sentence because of punctuation: "It means even a big company like Apple Inc., needs a small logo that is simple, chic, and easy to remember." I am going to take out some information because I am getting confused with some sentences. software engineering not completely software engineering . Start a new sentence when you discuss teaching graphic design. I think you are trying to discuss how you taught students how to create logos using the program Corel and Photoshop. I'm not sure why your perfect score is explained after this sentence. Was this an internship in your field.

I hope that this helps you.
