Why I Need This Scholarship


A college education means sitting in class

taking your tests and trying to pass.

A college education means meeting new friends

hoping they'll like you, not to their own ends.

A college education means finding your passion

don't just learn about it, turn it to action.

A college education means realizing your mistakes

you were wrong in the past, don't go back to that place.

A college education means striving to accomplish

don't remain lazy, make use of your knowledge.

A college education means making a choice

letting society see your face, and the world hear your voice.
