I don’t know if I feel that saying that I deserve this scholarship is the right thing to say, but going to Japan has been a goal of mine ever since I can remember. My grandfather was the one who really got me interested in Japan. He would always tell me stories about the culture, people, the little bits of language that he picked up, and the time that he spent there. My grandfather would have loved me going to Japan and would have supported me whole heartedly. I want to go to Japan not only to see what he saw, but also to improve the little that I know and improve myself.…
Since, I played four sports, it was hard to just focus on one. Sometimes I would have to come in early for one sport and stay after school for another. I really had to manage my time wisely. I am proud to say that I have been on the A honor role every year since freshman year. This was a goal I had since I was a child. I always wanted to be a straight A student and when I would do bad on something, I would study it until it was perfect. I think I should be considered for this scholarship because I have great leadership skills in everything that I do. I show leadership in sports by giving 110% in practice off and on the court or field. I lead by example and have a very strong worth ethic. No matter where I am put in any sport, I give it my all.…

My whole life I have looked up to my father, watching him work in his sales job. I remember listening intently as he would tell me about his work, being intrigued whenever he brought up the marketing department of his company. The way his company advertised and how marketing could have such a large impact on the goods people purchased and consumed fascinated me. As I have gone through high school, I have realized that marketing is something I want to do for the rest of my life. Because of this, I plan to attend the University of Alabama majoring in marketing after graduating high school. Receiving this scholarship would help me to cover some of the costs of college and help to make my dream of becoming a marketer a reality.…

In his play Translations, Brian Friel addresses his 1980 audience with the intention of warning them of the dangers of allowing their culture to fade. The play is set in 1830s Ireland, in the midst of an impending crossroads of the old Ireland vs Anglicized Ireland, where the main characters feel the effects of linguistic imperialism. Written 150 years later with the benefit of historical hindsight, Friel makes the still relevant points of how critical the relationship between language, culture, and history; they are all intertwined: changing (or in this play, Anglicizing) the language also causes the history and culture to disappear. Friel articulates the lost/fading culture of Ireland with the character’s inability to remember and preserve the old Ireland. In the Tobair Vree…

Up until the summer in between freshman and sophomore year I had not fully established the ideology by which I wanted to live. I had passions in life such as classical music, triathlons, at the time engineering, and service, but I had not found the way or in a sense style of life I wanted to abide by while also doing the things I truly loved and enjoyed. At certain points prior to the summer, I had glimpses of what I wanted to be and how to carry myself. My most memorable experience of this prior to my life changing trip happened to occur in Barcelona. I was touring the city with my friend and fortunately on the tour was a stop at La Sagrada Familia, the beyond incredible Basilica that dominates the skyline. I walked up to the Basilica casually…
