FFA Scholarship Essay

The foreclosure crisis is the second major financial dilemma of the twenty-first century. To solve this, the roots of the problem need to be dug up and exposed followed by replanting with an appropriately improved regulatory system to help build stronger roots for the future. It seems that the free market system can't be free anymore given its intertwining roots extend way beyond domestic to international financial systems. There are two fundamental causes to the latest credit crisis: 1) poor quality securitized mortgages and 2) insufficient underwriting for credit poor borrowers. Secondary (downstream) problems making the financial crisis more complex include underemployment and business failures. Many banks,

My effort to serve my community have been an immensely important area that I always try to expand on. From my hundred and seventy service hours, I have learned that giving back even in small amounts positively affects the lives of the people involved. My favorite memories of serving my local area is during the special NJROTC ceremonies when I am able to see the wonderful faces of veterans and military families when we present the colors or the veteran with a flag. Through school, I have been able to see the faces of incoming freshmen in my workroom mature into the present sophomores and the students today. In my church, I am apart of the Ushering team which assists with the service every few weeks. Through this, I am able to see the bright

Being diagnosed with cancer has impacted my outlook on life in many different ways. At first I saw cancer as a burden on my life and only the negative attributes stood out on how it was going to change my life and the way I saw people around me, but now after being two years cancer free, I have gone to realize the positive aspects cancer has had on my life.

Growing up on a third generation beef and crop farm has helped me gain a love of agriculture. Since I was a child I have been helping out the farm and have had a love of agriculture ever since. I currently own four of my own beef cows and each year I raise the calves to sell in the fall. My future dream is to take over the family farm after I finish college, as well as work as an agricultural loan officer. In high school I joined FFA. This organization truly changed my perspective on Agricultural as a whole. It made me realize

I have been a part of JROTC for the past four years of my high school career. During my time in the program, I gained more self-confidence and was able to venture out of my comfort zone, which allowed me to join numerous clubs and organizations throughout my high school career.

The organizations include the National Technical Honor Society for two years and National Honor Society for two years as well and voted Vice President.

The reason I have graced you with my letter is to convince you why I am worthy of a scholarship and to tell you about my goals in life.

I intend to use this scholarship to help pay for my tuition and books at the Southern Arizona University of Phoenix- Online. I would like to be considered for this scholarship because I have no financial help from my family. This means that I have to be able to pay for college on my own because of the fact that my father is no longer in my life, and my mom has my other siblings to take care of. My father is no longer in my life because he now lives in Mexico with his other family. I don’t have financial help from him because he has a wife and six other children. My mother would like to be able to help me, but she has two other children she’s taking care of by herself, and she has to prepare for my sister's graduation next year as well as mine this year. I plan to get a job after I graduate to help pay for the expenses of college, but since I am going online the expenses of college are going to be a lot less than if I were to go on campus, this is the main reason I am planning to go online, and to take a lot of the stress of being totally alone off myself because I will only be twenty minutes away from my family instead of an hour or two.

Hi, I’m Logan Morris and I have been a part of the Perry County FFA chapter for the past 4 years. I have been very involved in the FFA competing in several contests, helping Ms. Cindy with the truck and tractor pulls and the Easter egg hunts, and even going to forestry camp. I have competed in the Envirothon, horse judging, and land judging. My group was lucky enough to even come in third place in land judging. I have been blessed to receive my Greenhand Degree, Chapter Degree, and even my State Degree. Receiving my State Degree was one of the happiest moment of my life because I had been working for that moment for a long time. The FFA to me is not just a club but a family. If it wasn’t for the FFA I would have never met all the people I have and formed friendships that will last a lifetime.

Ever since I was a young kid I have always been interested in movies. My grandma, who was full of the wise the life experience left, always knew about my interest in movies. She feed my vain for the art. Even though her religion, she professed Adventist of seven-day religion, didn't let her go to the cinema, she always found the way to took me to the cinema. She and I enjoyed watch movies. We used to sit in the darkness room, with our faces illuminated from the reflection of the light which rebooted from the screen, both absorbs in the plot of the movie which made us laughed or cried. After the movie, while we went back to her home, she started to talk about the movie. She had a particular point of view where the main story

My love for agriculture began in junior high, continued through high school, and followed me into college. As a youth in the industry, I raised and showed several different animals, competed in contests that required me to grade meat and identify plants, served in leadership roles, and so much more. These endeavors not only brought me attributes to be known as “the successful girl,” but also tons of great memories, inside jokes, skills that cannot be gained in a classroom, too many résumé builders to list, and most

Throughout my junior and senior year I served various middle school students through tutoring. Tutoring has really been a wonderful experience, it has allowed me to connect with students younger than myself. It is always very obvious the children enjoy having me there to give educational advice. I feel as though I am a role model to these children and I always ensure that I act in a positive manner. Public service has easily been one of the most prevalent aspects of my high school career. It has helped me build relationships with community members and has helped me generate qualities of leadership. Not only do I hope to remain involved in community service projects throughout my college career, but also hope to have an opportunity to be involved in undergraduate research. While enrolled in college I will major in biochemistry while meeting pre-medicine requirements, in hopes of eventually going to medical school to become an oncologist. I have aspired to become a professional in oncology for quite some time. My leadership skills and intelligence can be used to benefit society, and there is obviously a substantial need for bright minds in
