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