Personal Statement: A Letter For A Scholarship
From: Justina Onyeanusi
To: Ifeoma Iyoha (co-worker) As I work toward the completion of my scholarship application for nursing school, it has been very important for me to recognize the individuals’ best prepared to write letters of recommendation on my behalf. Evidently, of all my instructors, mentors, co-workers, and friends, you are the one that mostly care for all the things I do either looking for a job, applying for schools or need help with my studies, you’ve always shown your support to me. Today, I ask for your help/support in my efforts to continue my education through scholarships and grants.
When filling/writing the letter of recommendation, please include my work history, personality traits as well as my strengths, and volunteer

    Today I received a message in my student email about my academic progress. I was denied Financial Aid due to my poor academic performance my 2015-2016 semester at Mesa Community College. The reason for not meeting academic requirements the previous semester was because of my lack of organization with working, sports, and studying. I take full responsibility in not putting my academics before sports and work leading me to write this letter. I truly believed I could juggle working 20 hours a week as a swim instructor and also be a student-athlete for Mesa Community College while maintaining strong grades. I soon found myself struggling in classes and doing poorly on exams because I was not using my time correctly and pushing my school work to the side. In high school I worked as a swim instructor and ran cross country as I am now, I put little effort into studying and did what I had to do to get by. Those poor habits followed me into college and are now backfiring with proof through my GPA.…

    During the 1950s and 60s, segregation in schools was very prevalent. The discrimination at times could have been brutal, and whites ultimately saw blacks as an inferior race regardless of the “Separate but Equal” law put into effect. A lot of times the whites did not even realize what they were doing, it almost came natural to them. Many higher ranking white officials claimed that the black and white schools were equal but in reality they really were not. The difference in money spent on white schools versus blacks was baffling. Most whites knew that depriving children of an education was wrong, but a lot of times they would not do a thing about it because most of them did not care because they were a different skin color. In a lot of cases,…

    To be able to succeed in everything is a goal most people have for themselves. With success comes happiness, comfortability, and a sense of accomplishment. This is my greatest goal in life, to be able to make something of myself; to become someone no one else could imagine me being. This kind of motivation and perseverance that I display is what I believe can make me an excellent candidate for the National Honors Society. I have always set outstanding goals for myself, putting the pressure on myself I needed to so that I would get the outcome I desired. This strength shows through my grades and the rigorous classes I take, as well as my growth in character. Not only do I excel in my perseverance, but I believe I am a strong leader here at Central Dauphin, someone who is not only helpful in the classroom, but also in the community.…

    I am deeply honored to be among the great students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. Being nominated to be a member of the national honor society shows me that I have achieved my goal to work as hard as I possibly can to stand out among my class mates academically.

    Growing up in poverty meant always being in a pinch for money. This led me to my decision of seeking a job within the first month of my freshman year in high school. Thankfully, this decision led me to the precious self-taught skill of time management. I was able to build my skills until my sophomore year. I tried to take on additional shifts at work than I could handle, in aspiration of saving up for a car, and consequently my grades began to slip. I acquired my first C in my favorite class: Chemistry. Being an aspiring student in the medical field, and a student who prides themselves on their grades, I was devastated. As a result, I soon reached the epiphany that one has to have priorities in life; I chose mine to be education. I discussed with my boss my situation and she gave me a set schedule of a feasible 4 shifts a week. This allowed me to complete my homework and studying in advance. This also…
