    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.…

    It was at my aunt’s birthday party, when I made the decision to attend college. She asked me that day,” Mija, are you going to college?” At first I hesitated, “Si” . Then she told me, “Are you sure because that is exactly what your older sister said and she ended up pregnant.” After hearing those words, I knew for sure I wanted to be the first in my family to attend college. I wanted to prove her what I said I meant it and was going to make it come true.…

    As I am sitting at my kitchen table typing this and as I am typing and thinking of why exactly I deserve this scholarship, as I am erasing and typing, my mother keeps looking at me. As I ask her why she is looking at me and asking so many questions about my text. I realized why she was asking so many questing about what I was doing or why it is that I was focusing so hard on an essay. She didn't understand because growing up she was not given this opportunity or for that matter any hope of education. I am a junior who is going to Kansas City Kansas Community college studying to receive my CNA license. My counselors and peers told me to not try because only seniors make it into the program.

    I believe I am deserving of this scholarship because of three key reasons. My first reason that I believe that I deserve this scholarship is because I am a person who is very active in my community. I perform lots of community service with my Boy Scout Troop (58), such as tree planting, benefit dinners, garbage disposal, and the purchasing of Christmas presents for the poor of our local community. I am very active with my troop and have accumulated dozens of service hours with them. I love to help my local community in any way that I can.…

    When I think of college, I think of self-improvement. The years that I will spend pursuing a degree will be a time of personal development. I will progress in various areas of my life, such as interpersonally, socially, and mentally. A new state, new friends, and new environment, are numerous reasons for why I want to attend college. However, one of the dominant reasons for me wanting to further my education is the “knowledge”. College is the next step in education as well as one’s maturity. I will be leaving home and going to a different state to start a new educational journey. I look forward to being away from my parents; not because I think they are not cool, but because I want to become independent. I believe that up until this point my parents have protected me and provided me with astounding wisdom. Now it is time to implement all they have taught me in my life. I will be on my own, and will make my choices based on the foundation of values and morals my parents have instilled in me.…

    My dad recently lost his job and with my mom paying for the college tuition of both me and my sister, financial resources in my family are spread thin. Being the first generation in my family to attend college also means that I have to shoot for the moon and beyond. It’s about justifying that my parent’s sacrifices were worth it, that the countless hours spent in a searing kitchen, that the shifts that dragged into the wee hours of the morning and that the choice to spend their hard earned money on my education were all for something better. As such, since I can’t work full time, I would really like to ease the financial burden that college education is taking on them. A scholarship from LSA will allow me to further not only my educational dreams, but the aspirations that my parents have for me. By taking these summer classes under a scholarship, I can not only put my parents at ease, but also dedicate the time to really hunker down and focus on getting better grades for medical…

    I am Katrina Sanchez and it is a luxury to work and study at the same time here in the United States of America. I am saying this because not everyone has this kind of opportunity that I have.

I am the eldest in the family and I have three younger siblings. I am the very first person in my entire family to study here in the US and I am very excited to set standards for everybody else in my family to follow. In regards to educational attainment, my parents both graduated from college and received their bachelor's degree in the Philippines. On my part, I desire to surpass what they have accomplished because…
