Hi! please check out if there are incorrect grammars...I am not good in English.
Despite wasting great effort and perseverance applying for a scholarship, I learned a lesson from the experience. Indeed, I wasted not just a few hours of sacrificing but long hours of ventured. Being one of the applicants I saw the others determination, confidence, and forbearance. They were not phased and decided to never give up. After a long wait with other appliers to get the application forms, at last, I would be the one to fill it up. There was no certain expectation that, after this, I capable to pass the next process- the scholarship examination. It was the next step in applying for a scholarship program. I said to myself, "Don't let this chance go by, take advantage of this because it will help you achieve your goal". That is to study in a prolific state university in the Philippines, the PUP. For me time management was never a problem. I was always made time to review lessons for my exams, to review, and to ponder the information and ideas. To be chosen for the scholarship, I studied to be as ready. My parents always told me, "Its better go into a battle with a gun than to go without anything to use".
I carefully filled out the form and reviewed the lessons, the day I waited for had finally come, the time to apply my knowledge. It was my scholarship examination. If I could pass, I could use it to be a scholar to my dream institution. The examination was held in a cozy room where approximately a thousand test takers were competing for the scholarship. Outside the windows for the cool room it was so hot. I felt like I was outsides because I was sweating. None-the-less, it didn't affect me while answering the test questions. Instead I was visualizing the things to come if I passed this examination. In case it happened, that would be a joyous time in my life because one of my desires were granted. Trust God and self-confidence, both were what I've retained to my mind. I completely agree that God is the one who renders knowledge and we, the people, are who apply the wisdom. In philosophy, knowledge is the information we have obtained and wisdom is referred to the information we applied. Both helped me with my scholarship examination. I never forgot that time prayed with God because not only intellectual is important but of course also spiritual lessons.
Two weeks later I have been waiting for the results probably not yet processed. Although automated, it still took three weeks to get the results. Upon thousands of applicant who took the examination, only half would be considered as scholars. The basis was dependent upon the scores we've got. I expected the worse but remained optimistic still. That was the best I could do. If you expected high, frustration happened just like as you expecting negatively.
I was not finished thinking of the result since I left the house, and yet, standing to a building where it was being posted inside. It really not a joke about my hardship I spent just mere to grab this opportunity. First I fell in line beneath the very hot sun till my long time of preparation for my examination, I thought that it enough to taste the fruit of my hardship. Nervous is what I felt while walking upstairs. I couldn't escape the feeling. I answered the test questions well and read directions carefully. How really strong I was that time.
Finally, I reached the last floor. The place was so messy. Many were jumping, shouting, and saying, "Yes! I did it". Very lucky persons, I just thought. Only one word I've always spoken, that was the name of God. In the end, I touched sort of papers where many names were listed. I tried to seek my surname Just a second....my God! This was unexpected! I passed the scholarship examination. My reactions surely no one could describe. I was very happy, as a matter of fact, tears readily fell down- the tears of joy. God truly never abandoned me since before. The knowledge and stability were a great gift He gave for my birthday. Exactly, that time was my birthday. I absolutely believed to the motto that "nothing is impossible to God". My triumph verified that this saying is true.
Whatever you dream trust in God and be an optimistic person. That is the lesson I learned during my journey of applying for a scholarship.
