The Best Me by Carter - January 2019 Scholarship Essay

I am a Night Owl because it allows me to be the best me.

The biggest benefit, in my opinion, being a night owl is letting my body get the most natural sleep it can. For example, getting up at 6 am usually takes most people an alarm clock, which, to me, is a shock to the system. Letting my body naturally wake up gives me the can do attitude to get things done while also maintaining mental alertness and stamina.

Secondly, some of the most beautiful phenomenons are viewed at night, for instance Red Moons, lunar eclipse, and shooting stars. The Fourth of July is also my favorite holiday because of the gorgeous night shows that come with it. Nothing, can beat a good night with beer, boys, and bomb fireworks to light a night sky.

My second favorite holiday is Halloween. I was born in October, the spooky season. One of my biggest fascinations is the Science of Scaring people. A lot of this science happens at night and how one manipulates light to make darkness more adverse is simply amazing.

Family has always told me, "Nothing ever good happens after 1am." to which I think, Everything good happens after 1 am. Jobs offer higher wages, friends like to go out and have a good time, and sleeping after a long nights work in a pitch black room is easily some of the best sleep I have ever got. Therefore, starting my next day allowing me to be the best me.
