If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

I am applying for this scholarship because I need funding for my education. My mother will contribute as much as she can, my grandparents have all set aside money for my education, I have been working the last two summers and saving what I make and my brother has even offered me whatever remains of his college trust money because he started out with more. But, college is expensive and I plan on earning both an undergraduate and a graduate degree so I can accomplish everything I’ve dreamed about. I have taken many college classes at our local junior college in order to make this less expensive but I only have five classes completed with a lot ahead of me. I will make it happen!
