Dear Student by Samantha - April 2016 Scholarship Essay

Dear Student:

To younger students that have yet to face, or are currently facing, the challenge of finding money for college. I know the challenge is tough and it takes time, a lot of time, but don’t give up when you don’t get the money after all of that hard work and countless hours of applying and writing essay after essay. I know that there are students out there who will have to find a way to pay for college all by themselves and try to avoid student loans and it is difficult.

I personally know what it is like to be the first generation to go to college and I am excited to go, but my parents can’t afford to help me out, but that still hasn’t stopped me from working as hard as I can to get myself there. So knowing what I know now and knowing how tedious it is to hear people say to apply for everything in scholarships and how it is worth it; I say to you, future graduates, that it is never the end of the world and any help you can get with grants, scholarships, and financial aid is worth accomplishing your dreams and to make a better future for yourself, which is one of the most bravest thing you can ever do in your life.
