Responsibility by Emily - September 2014 Scholarship Essay
I believe that having responsibility is necessary to succeed in college. College is a whole new world full of freedom most people are not used to. If one does not learn how to be responsible and how to properly manage everything then it will be very difficult to succeed. Being responsible shows maturity and dedication which I believe is very important. It is important to have a good work ethic and to be passionate about what you are doing.
Many people enter college not expecting it to be so overwhelming; there is a lot more free time in which one must learn how to be responsible yet still manage things outside of school work. Being responsible is not only about getting your school work done. It is also about maintaining healthy relationships with others, participating in extracurricular activities, and giving back to your community.
Having responsibility is a skill that will get better over time as long as it is implemented it into one's every day life. Some people are more responsible than others, but I believe that anyone can develop a sense of responsibility. Being responsible will give you a sense of accomplishment and it will help to keep one's life organized which is why I believe that is an essential skill to have in college.
