The Ridge Scholarship Essay For this essay‚ I chose as my influence the classic American novel‚ The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I should receive this scholarship because‚ one I have been growing all my life but‚ two because in the past seven to eight years of my life I have been growing by far the most. I would define it as when a tree has a really nutritional year the rings inside the tree become thicker than others. The past seven to eight years have been difficult but now I see how all the stress‚ tears and questioning was worth it.
