Scholarship Essay writing on my best academic and extracurricular accomplishments

I wrote this scholarship essay on "write your best academic and extracurricular accomplishments"
Can anyone give some critique or how can I improve it?

top scores, tuitions and scientific theories



From early childhood, I'm always curious. Asking questions which varied over time, from "Why the sky is blue?" to "Can gravitational waves break the uncertainty principle?" All these questions but not so many answers.

When in 5th grade my father lost his job and thus my school was changed from one of the finest, to one where a question's only reply was humiliating laughs. Consequently, I developed a habit of reading books, and I made a commitment of reading atleast 30 pages a day. But until I was gifted my first phone, buying books has been a daunting task, as my pocket money was low.

Meanwhile, In high school I suffered much due to our education system, as it's focus was only one's comprehension skills. Whilst actual understanding was ignored. Still I maintained an A+ in throughout high school.

Straightaway, I started giving tuitions to my juniors and class fellows in subjects like math and physics. I understood that for teaching knowledge and understanding is more important as compared to memorised definitions. Moreover, I wrote articles explaining scientific theories for lay audiences which were published on various scientific websites.

If selected for this scholarship, I will be able to persue my goal with the same diligence as I have to this point, making education and service to others my top priority. I will represent your organization well during my years in collage and beyond.

Ahmad, for starters, you should be more direct to the point in this essay. The prompt requires you to only have 2 paragraphs at the most as a response to each individual prompt section. That's one paragraph each for academic accomplishments and extracurricular accomplishments. Was there ever a time when you were recognized academically during high school? If yes, then detail what sorts of grades you got and when you gained that academic achievement. The high school recognition is more important going into college than something that happened when you were in grade 5 which was not really a narrative of an academic accomplishment on your part. Sure you were an A+ student, but were you a straight A+ student? Or was it only in selective classes? What was your real GPA and did it merit an academic honor from your school?

As for the extra curricular activity, you don't have any indicated in this essay. You need to discuss something that qualifies as an extracurricular activity. It could be a sport you engage in, an organization you belong to, a volunteer activity, or anything that you do after school as part of your membership in your community. Right now, you essay does not indicate any activity of the sort as required by the prompt.

Hi,
I can see some minor spelling mistakes in your essay.
ex: collage -> college, persue -> pursue

other than that I think you need to improve the understanding of punctuation
for an example consider the following sentence,

... lost his job and, thus ... of the finest, to one where ...

well, personally I think that your intro is a little bit exagerated, because is hard to believe that one of your questios as a child was about gravitational waves, because that topic is commonly introduced during the last years of high school. Try also so write more about extracurricular achievments, such as sports or clubs.
