I promise, learning is fun! by Justine - March 2018 Scholarship Essay

I know, I know. You don't like school. You have to wake up so early every morning and sit for hours while a boring adult tries to tell you about letters, numbers, and so many other things. And you have to do this for more than ten more years?! That sounds crazy. But hear me out, let me show you the great things about school!

First of all, think of all the great friends you will make as you continue to study. Most people don't think about this so often when thinking about school, but the relationships you start to build through your education are so important and some may last a lifetime! You will learn so many valuable lessons from your friends, I promise.

Secondly, learning may be one of the most important act in life. There is so much knowledge in the world and only through continued learning will you be able to grasp even a little bit of all that. Right now, it's only about really simple things but soon you will learn about space, cool people in history, and interesting languages. As you keep growing, learning may become more time-consuming but it will be so fulfilling and you will want to pursue it so far. I promise!

Lastly, continuing your education and to learn is going to open a lot of doors for you. It is a difficult idea for you right now, but knowledge is power and you should always seek to build your understanding of the world. I already said it, but it is one of the most important things! Keep cultivating your mind and opening your perspective and life will open itself back to you. I promise.

So you see, it may not seem so awesome right now, but learning can be really fun and it will lead you to a great future.
