Introduction
I. Common Ground: According to the Collins English Dictionary for Schools, 10th edition, 2013, a scholarship is financial aid provided for a scholar because of academic merit. How many of us have searched for scholarships and applied for them? While we were students, who did not need a scholarship?
II. Thesis Statement: I invite you to take into account my ethics, qualities, and grades.
Body
I. As a matter of fact, in each university or college there are several academic rules that we must meet in order to keep the scholarship. Since we were children, in my opinion, we have learned ethical standards. The ones I will highlight are: A. Honesty, because I do not like to cheat or lie. B. Respect in the way of showing consideration for thoughts and ideas from others. C. Responsibility in order to achieve my goals and accomplish tasks and homework.
(Transition: Now that we have considered my ethics, let’s move onto the next point.)
II. As we know each of us have several and maybe different qualities, some of them can be good, while some of them can be bad. A. Studious, as I am always aware of my class-work. B. Team Player, whether in school or at work, I have the ability to contribute to group dynamics. C. Getting a scholarship
