Opportunity by Kaela - January 2018 Scholarship Essay

Opportunity. The college experience will allow me to grow spiritually, personally, and academically. An education is something that no one can ever take from me, an amazing tool that will present endless opportunities.

I hope to attend the University of Notre Dame, to which I was accepted but am struggling to afford. Regardless of what university I attend, I plan to pursue a degree in Business. Business is an extremely competitive field, always evolving and presenting something new to the world. I believe a college education will present me the opportunity to be competitive and adaptable to the ever-changing world of business. Additionally, most colleges go out of their way to ensure their students are equipped with the tools they need for success. I am excited to utilize this opportunity to better prepare myself for the future.

Attending college not only provides many educational opportunities, but also many self-improvement and social activities. College will allow me to explore the world without parental guidance, something which will surely be an adjustment, but will enable me to discover and dedicate time to what I am passionate about. Additionally, I will be part of a large community where I am sure to find life-long friends.

I am excited to soon begin a new chapter in my life, to attend college and reap the many opportunities it presents me.
