My Motivation by Anna

My Motivation by Anna - April 2024 Scholarship Essay

I’ve grown up with military parents. Both of my parents served in the United
States Air Force. They enlisted in the Air Force with the hopes of continuing their
educations. I have watched them juggle the demands of military service, deployments, work and
classes. They are my motivation; they motivate me to pursue my academic goals and to stay the course and stay focused on my own goals.
When I think about attending college, I envision a program that offers me opportunities to continue onto higher education after an undergraduate degree. These are qualities that appeal to me because my goal after graduating from college is to attend a professional school and ultimately be in the FBI.
Ever since I was young, I have been intrigued by a career in law enforcement. I have always admired the
work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the role they play in maintaining the safety and
security of our nation.
I have pursued a strong academic foundation during my high school career. I plan on majoring in
criminal justice which will provide me with a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice
system. In addition to my education, I have also developed strong communication and interpersonal
skills, helping me to build rapport with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have demonstrated a commitment to physical fitness and personal discipline, through four years on varsity volleyball and club volleyball commitments.
I have a passion for justice, and I am confident that my skills, experiences, and dedication have prepared me for a challenging college and professional career. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to make a difference and I know the Varsity Tutors College Scholarship will help in achieving my goals.
