Cipolla Scholarship Analysis

I strongly believe that I deserve the “Courage to Grow” Scholarship, because not only am I a dedicated and hardworking growing young adult, but I also incorporate those traits to what I value the most, school. Ever since I started school, I have worked hard to where I am now. I have a 3.8 G.P.A. On a 4.0 scale which I have worked long nights for. Since throughout all of high school I have been, an still am, involved in many extracurriculars such as DECA, Interact Club, Spanish Honor Society but also managed to be involved in sports as well like Indoor Track and Field, Outdoor Track and Field and Cheerleading. Being a top, varsity athlete in all, has taught me many valuable traits which have helped also become a wonderful young adult.

Or that I often think outside the box which has led me to new adventures. Or even because I strive to build up my reputation by building up the community’s reputation. However, that is not why I feel I deserve this scholarship. Like myself, Robert loved adventure and finding beauty in everyone and everything. Robert was an influential person in my family. He shaped my older sister to the woman she is today. Every summer I found myself in the bleachers watching softball games. Robert treated every girl on those teams like they were his own daughters. He coached them to not only be better ball players but he also coached them to be better individuals. Speaking of daughters, his own daughter Bayli, who is truly her father’s daughter, has motivated me in many ways. FFA a huge part of her life and seeing where it took her was what I wanted for myself. She also sees the best in everyone and wants to make the world better one community service project at a

I think I deserve this scholarship because I'm hard working and want to better my future for me and my family. I'm a single mom and this scholarship would help me pay for college so I can start working in my career as soon as possible. I have been inspired to do hair cosmetology by so many things. I love cosmetology because I love making people feel better about themselves. I find it inspiring because so many people have problems with there confidence and when they get that hair cut, there nails done, and makeup it makes them feel like whole new people. I know from experience what it feels like to not fit it and with this scholarship I believe I can help changed lives.

A few months later a friend came out to our group as bisexual, then later pansexual and she started attending the school's weekly GSA meetings. That little coming out started a spark in my mind, and everything started to make a lot of sense. Maybe there was more to life than just straight or gay, more ways a person could be.

I believe I should be selected for the Schulich Leader Scholarship because I have been academically successful, demonstrate leadership capabilities, and believe that my dreams and creativity will allow me to paint the future with bright colours, for myself and others. My experiences make me unique from anyone else, and I hope to do myself justice in six hundred words.

I deserve this scholarship because I am hard working and it wouldn’t be a waste of money on some dumb teenager and because my parents don’t have a lot of money, but I also deserve it because I want to go to college to be a police officer and protect the american people, change how police officers are looked at and so I can serve justice to people who deserve

I should be awarded the Beauty P. Baldwin Scholarship due to my ambition and ability to succeed inside and outside of the classroom. I always strive to be the best I can be whether it is at school, home, or anywhere else. I love learning something new and expanding my knowledge by showing what I know. Helping people and volunteer work is one the main things that I enjoy doing each year because I like people to know that they are cared for. Having done lots of volunteer work like Toys for Tots, Jasmine's Closet, the Safehouse Outreach, and many other programs, I have realized the need helping people is at an all time high. All of these events that are listed are geared to helping people that are living without a good shelter, food, and people

In my life, I am fueled by compassion, love, and the desire to serve others all around the world. I have always been passionate about making a difference and spreading love to those that need it. I enjoy giving back to my community and enriching the lives of others through service. This scholarship holds the promise for me to receive a higher education while continuing my work of interacting with individuals and leaders to build, learn, and explore our world.

For several years, Rockingham County High School students have been on a mission to create a GSA club or Gay-Straight Alliance club organization. Unfortunately, GSAs are not as prevalent as other club organizations in a high school setting. There is huge controversy between the varying opinions of students at my school that say GSA goes against their religion or personal values. As an active supporter of the LGBTQI community I always pushed forward the idea of a GSA club. It was not until the beginning of senior year, I found myself questioning my own sexuality, but I did not truly understand what was going on. The amount of confusion and stress that consumed me made me hide it from all of those I loved. Everyday I was in denial and kept telling

I didn’t know what the word “gay” meant until late in my eighth grade school year. I simply had never heard the word before then. However, after being exposed in a basic way to the concept of queerness, my friend group and I started going to our school’s GSA. The GSA then stood for Gay-Straight Alliance but later we changed it to stand for Gender and Sexuality Alliance in an effort to be more inclusive. Back then, many of my friends didn’t actually identify as queer or part of the LGBT community, but that would change in the next few years. I also experienced that change, as it was that year that I discovered that I am pansexual, and then the next year that I discovered that I am agender. I was lucky enough to end up having a group of friends

I believe I should receive this scholarship because of my dedication to my schoolwork. I have gone through many obstacles to continue my education. My hard work in the past years proves how well I will work in the years to come. I hope to work even harder. This scholarship will help me continue my education.

There are many prompts for college admissions and scholarships, however the question I would ask for a scholarship application is “Getting a college education is important to many people throughout the world. Discuss why education is important to you and how have you applied your education to real-world scenarios? Keep in mind you can reference either past, present, or future events when applying your education.” The reason this question is important and the question I would ask is because many people have the capability of learning new information, however they can often struggle on how to apply that knowledge.

I believe I should be awarded the “BG Scholarship” to help me continue with my achievements of my academic goals and to help with my contributions to my school and community. Ever since I started school, I was interested in learning. This thirst for knowledge has propelled me to achieve numerous academic goals, including being one of six finalist for the Student of the Year program in the state of Louisiana, placing first at the state social studies fair, learning to play five musical instruments, and placing first regionally in poetry. My love for achieving my goals lead me to become an active member in my school’s Key Club, Leo Club, Student Council, Leadership Group, Beta Club, Quiz Bowl, Rally Team, Chamber Choir, A Cappella Choir, and

Initially, when my group chose to present on the topic of LGBTQ, I felt like I knew the basics about this community, but was happy to know more. Upon completing the research for the presentation I quickly saw how it made more sense for people in the LGBTQ population to hide who they were, because of the way society perceives them. That’s, unfortunate. Thinking about my family members who are gay, I could only imagine the turmoil they

Furthermore, organizations such as GSA (Gay- Straight Alliance) and GLSEN have shown evidence of enhancing LGBT lives, providing opportunities to “become empowered” and “less isolated” in their community (Bidell). While there consists of some debate on the “emergence” of the GSA, the GSA have rapidly flourished over the years representing the social justice movement of LGBT- identified persons (Bidell). 4,000 GSA student clubs have been registered with GLSEN and are a “powerful tool” for school counselors to utilize for “social justice advocacy” for LGBT students (Bidell). Findings showed that schools with GSA clubs could diminish absenteeism, exaggerate LGBT school safety, and lower victimization in contrast with schools without GSA clubs. However, GSA and GLSEN are now just receiving recognition internationally and domestically. There are only 4,000 GSA clubs nationwide and due to the lack of recognizing the organization's, schools continue to have LGBT students harassed, victimized, and homophobic
