The game of life by Nekan

The game of life by Nekan - November 2018 Scholarship Essay

High School as a senior is full of unforgettable experiences such as college fairs, college visits, letter jacket, class ring, prom and of course no final year is complete without a senior quote. My quote is “Life is like a game so treat it like it is.”
The quote is true because you only get one life and that life is full of choices and risks. Everything you do is not without consequence, so everything can either end in a good way or in a bad way. Going to a casino is a way how you take risks because you gamble your money to lose or gain. Choosing a college is a very important decision to make because you are making a commitment to your future. The future is full of choices and some of those choices will be the toughest you will ever have. Even now a choosing a senior quote does not mean nothing, it is something you are agreeing to live on for the rest of your time on this world. I will live by those even after I graduate college.
Monopoly is a game that I love to play and is partial to why I chose that quote. If life were not filled with money then everything would be free, but sadly it is not. Part of the game is managing your money and part of it is chance. Rolling the dice is part of the game because if you don’t roll the number you want then you are in for a world of pain. Buying houses and property is the the other part of the game that is the most important part of the game. Life is like monopoly because you have to learn to manage your money or else you will go bankrupt.
Board games are fun to play and come in different types but have one thing in them; strategy. Without the proper strategy you cannot win anything that comes in life. Think things through and you will succeed. Live the game the way you want it to be played and everything should go according to plan.
