Golf Scholarship

Service is simply an act of helpful activity and the transferable skills that are gained from service illustrate the importance of being involved. By volunteering in my community and taking part in organizations that are centered on service, I am able to strengthen my understanding of my surroundings, and I am taught more compassion for others. Being involved presents unlimited opportunities to give back to others, and with the skills instilled by service, I am able to make a difference in the lives around me. Experience gained with service creates characteristics in a person that can shape the direction of my life, and I will value that in the future.

I am the oldest of four girls in a family of six and I will also be the first one in my family to go to college at Texas A&M University. I always thought that scholarships were just going to be bombarded on those who were in the top ten percent of their grade, but as I can see now, I was extremely wrong. It is an uphill battle to pay for college and that is something that I should have seen coming. I believe I need the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship to attend Texas A&M University because my parents may not be able to provide for my entire four years there.

Every story has a beginning, mine starts in Oak Hill, Ohio. I was born on February 18th, 2000 in Gallipolis, Ohio. I live in Oak Hill, Ohio and go to Oak Hill Middle/High School. I live with both of my parents (Sabrina and Kenneth Burton) and my little sister Amber Burton. My older sister goes to college now and does not live at home with us .I am a really nice, responsible, and hard working person. I have won many awards in both marching band and HS choir. Some of the awards range from the best dancer to one of the most dedicated members. I have not yet finished high school, but it is my senior year. After I graduate I plan on attending Shawnee State University to become a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA).

highschool. The scholarships being given out to the students athletes are only given to the best of the best, so they should take the recruiting process serious. Division one colleges are limited to 85 full scholarships each year but other smaller levels of colleges can offer lesser scholarships that are not a full ride, but they will most definitely help him or her throughout the recruiting and scholarship process. A athletic full ride scholarship is hard to come by, one who receives this is provided the 100% of college tuition for free, for their next four years of college. Full-ride scholarships are hard to come by, so there are also partial scholarships where about twenty-five percent of the student athletes tuition is covered. Unfortunately,

Annika’s natural propensity towards academic success has always placed me in a position of comparison; though three years younger, I would strive to excel as she did. Even if I couldn’t reach her level, the pressure motivated me to do my best, and her assuring and calm demeanor would remind me that there’s always another shot. Learning from her habits and attitude gave me the guidance to succeed on my own and be proud of my accomplishments; my inductance into National Honor Society proved to me that the pressure of having someone to look up to can be a supportive force rather than a debilitating grievance. Similarly, Jaineel’s natural athletic ability in every sport he pursued from basketball to karate pushed me to perform my best in tennis. His determination to live by a schedule in order to see progress gave me the foresight to not give up when I wanted to throw in the towel, and his love for sports reminds me of why I continue to play tennis even today.  Living with 8 other perspectives to a situation is a true blessing. If there is ever a dilemma in my life, everyone will share his or her opinion but support me no matter which direction I choose. Growing up with my family has definitely been a unique experience, but I would never change it for the world. My home gives me strength, assurance, stability, laughter, and love as I wake up to 8 people banging on my bedroom door every morning ready to

I am son of Graciela Gomez and Fernando Enriquez. I am the only men and the second child of two siblings. Basically, we are a family of four. My parents both of them work for a company, I do not see them when they go to work because they leave early, but I still can see when they get home. They work so hard to give us as much as they can. I hope one day I can make them feel proud of me and the all goals that I have accomplished. I know family is one that is always there pushing me to continue studying hard. Members in my family are my real friends, they are always there supporting me in any

I am honored to submit my candidacy for consideration as one of the two recipients of the Phi Theta kappa Gold Scholarship. I believe that my excellent academic record and active involvement in Phi Theta kappa both locally and regionally makes me a good candidate for the scholarship.

During the high school summers, I worked on a country club golf course. My job mainly consisted of greeting the members as they came to golf, clean their clubs, and wash the carts. I was basically the face of the country club golf operations. Many members are regular golfers whom come by the club multiple times a week. Through the years, I met and formed really close friendships with a select few members. These members collectively decided to take me under their wing. This was around the time I was applying for colleges. Through our many conversations, and learning about their lives (they are both in the business field), I changed my intended major from chemistry to finance, and switched my intended school from the out-of-state University of Michigan to the in-state Indiana University. These men have influenced my life so significantly, I would not be where I am today without them. Because of this experience, I hope to mentor an ambitious, young student one day.

I believe I am uniquely qualified to become a recipient of the Matteson rotary scholarship. I am a dedicated, hardworking student who made a commitment to “Service above Self,” something the Rotary stands for. Attending a college prep charter high school, where extracurricular activities are encouraged, I became an active member of the student council - elected student council president in my junior and senior years, inducted into the National Honor Society, became a member of the InterAct Community Service Club, member of the Dance Team, member of the Media Club, Captain of the Track, Cross-Country and Basketball teams, maintained a 3.9 GPA, and all while playing a key role in organizing social, cultural and community events for the school, and leading group meetings for the various organizations.

I come from an athletic and musical family. My dad is a soccer coach and my mom is a musical director. I have an older sister who is my best friend and basically my twin. I love spending time with my family and friends. When I am not playing soccer, going to school, or doing activities for ASB you can find me at church, in my room watching movies, or at Disneyland. I enjoy being active and playing games. I also enjoy helping others and helping out the community. When I’m free I love going to San Diego and feeding the homeless community. I also love cheering on others, whether it be at a sporting events at my school, or going to a Padres

Personal Statement I’ve always kept an eye on social tensions around the world and although at a younger age I didn’t always fully understand the social injustices that were going and as I began to grow in age, my knowledge and understanding of what was going on around me not only in my community but also around the world also grew. I am a hard-working person,I'm friendly, kind, and can cope with social issues whatever the situation. I'm a team player but can also work independently and lead a team. I am able to bring a range of ideas when it come to teamwork or team leadership. I am able to display a calm, friendly attitude whatever the situation.

I selected architecture as my career. It involves a lot of my passions such as math, building, algebra, and designing. Architecture can mean: A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures.

I have lived in West Liberty all my life, with my parents Corie and Ronda Peterson and my younger sister Morgan. I love golfing especially with my friends and family as well as spending time outdoors in the summer. My mother is my biggest inspiration because while she was fighting cancer she not only stayed strong for my sister and I but also she has taught me to be strong and to believe in who I am and who I will become. I am extremely excited to be furthering my education at Mount Mercy University to become a neonatal nurse, this scholarship will help me with my financial insecurities making me more confident to pursue my dreams.

The NCAA’s purpose is to direct competition in a just, safe and sportsmanlike manner, and to assimilate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the experience of the student athlete is the best it could be. It describes a professional team as an organization that provides any player excess amounts of money for involvement on the team.“Because of this paying student athletes would cross the line between professionalism and amateurism and would demolish the spirit of being a student athlete.
