The goal at the end of this year is to continue my education by going to a university that will allow me to get an education. This is task can already be a hard one, just because you have the stress of applying for colleges and checking that you have everything completed that will give you the best chance to compete for a stop on a prestigious campus. In my case this may involve editing and rewriting personal statements and retaking the SAT. You do all of this while still being a scholar in the classroom.
If you are like me and the majority of high school students, then the struggle doesn't end their because you still have to apply for scholarships and grants. This is probably the most important part of the entire process because as much as getting into your dream school is important, without the money to pay all your hard work is useless.
I aspire to major in biochemistry and continue my education to get a PHD. My real goal is to research medicine for a living and save millions of lives. Before I head off to college I have set a goal of about $20,000 in scholarship money for the first year. While this seems like a hard goal to reach, I felt that leaving myself with a challenging goal would allow me to push myself and surpass my limits.
I hope to be applying for many scholarships this year, and I hope others take advantage of all the opportunities out there and do the same.
