I am proud to be applying for the Logan Herr Memorial Scholarship. As a member of the varsity baseball team at Oak Ridge, I can relate with Logan the dedication, discipline, and effort it takes to succeed on and off the field. Like Logan, I have given my personal best the last four years in high school, and feel honored to apply for this scholarship in his honor. I have friends have been touched by Logan, and his love of baseball, hard work, and team are all qualities I share. As I will be attending UCLA next fall, I will continue to follow my passion for sports and academics, and strive to achieve my personal best.
“Don’t just play on your phone, program it.” This quote by President Obama, which hung in my AP Computer Science classroom, embodies what it means to be an engineer and

Engineers use critical thinking and creativity to solve problems, which mirrors the process I used to write algorithms for the labs or projects in the class. Attending two hackathons over the summer, I learned first-hand the creativity and collaboration necessary in the field of computer science, and successfully created an app in only 24 hours. The limitless possibilities to use my inventiveness and intellectual abilities to solve these problems is why I want to study computer science and engineering in college. As I will be attending UCLA, I want to apply my theoretical knowledge of computer science and engineering into real-world experience in the form of internships and co-op programs. While I have programmed apps and websites, I want to take my coding abilities to the next level, and begin to create complex system structures such as operating systems, as well as optimizing the hardware components, such as processors, for these systems. However, I intend to explore a multitude of academic topics in college, such as economics and statistics, and use my years to grow as an intellectual and
I. Purpose for this investigation is to pin-point problems within the Roanoke branch of Phoenix Advertising which have led to the recent resignations of an art director and an account executive, increasing client complaints about quality of work, productivity and demoralization of employees within that branch.
My father is a senior design hardware engineer, and consequently he works with many software engineers. For an eighth grade project, I interviewed one of my father’s coworkers, where I learn some of the kinds of projects that software engineers work on. I wanted to get a feel for programming to see if I would like it, which is why when I was a sophomore in high school, I enrolled in an online coding course called introduction to computer science.
Ladies and gentleman, speaking on the behalf of the Patriots organization, it is my pleasure to introduce to you a player who will go down in history as one of the best in his lifetime, Logan Mankins. Patriots fans have been fortunate to watch #70 play eight years within this organization, playing well over 100 games within that time. Unfortunately, Logan was not able to finish out his career with this team; however, we feel it is a fitting end to his professional football career to induct him into the Patriots Hall of Fame, forever setting him within this Patriots team as well as family.
Lane Community College has an opportunity to promote voting in Oregon when approximately a quarter of eligible folks in the state are unregistered. By adding a voter registration function to Lane Community College registrations, physical places to pick up voter registration cards, and providing links to official Oregon state voting information LCC will support students. And, not only will more students participate in elections throughout the state, they will also have funds and time reallocated to campus-specific campaigns that were previously spent on student organization voter registration efforts.
I should receive the Lucile Gustafson Scholarship because I have demonstrated a high excellence in scholastic achievement throughout high school and continue to do so at Waubonsee Community College. Throughout my senior year of high school, I have completed 17 college credits through Waubonsee’s duel credit program, all of which, I received A’s. I am currently taken 11 credits this semester though Waubonsee so I can start the nursing program this fall. Furthermore, I exhibit leadership in the participation of clubs. For example, when I was a Freshmen Seminar leader I lead a group of 25 freshmen and helped them learn about high school. I have shown outstanding citizenship by volunteering at Alden Garden of Waterford Assisted Living for the last three years, every Friday for four hours. I help with activities such as manicures, leading card games, and helping with special events such as dressing up as the Easter Bunny and setting up decorations for Christmas. I have participated in many volunteer events through school like helping a forest preserve by planting butterfly garden through Science National Honor Society. I also tutor the subject of English monthly through National English Honor Society. Hence, I am determined to give back to the community and further achieve in academics and leadership. I am highly motivated to accomplish the goals set before
To many people, a sports game is just another thing to watch on the weekend with a group of friends cheering on your favorite team and hoping they come away from the game with the big win. To Jamie Ogden, his life revolves around sports. “Sports has always been a big part of my life.” states Jamie. His interest in sports started at a young age while watching his older brother play basketball and baseball. “I would go out and just sit and watch him practice in the driveway.” The other thing that helps clear his mind is his faith in Christ. “Faith is a huge part of my life. It is incorporated in everything I do.” While growing up, both sports and faith in Christ gave Jamie a way to make his dreams about playing professional baseball a reality.
I believe that I am a good candidate for the Amy L. McKee-Everett Memorial Scholarship due to my caring and loving nature. An excellent example would be the time I gave back to Flat Rock River YMCA Camp this year, during New Years Eve. I volunteered as a counselor to a group of amazing girls. I wanted to volunteer my time, seeing that Flat Rock had done so much for me, in my seven years as a camper. It was time to give back. The 53 hours of time I spent helping out with all the girls, was immensely rewarding. I wouldn't trade my experiences I have had with Flat Rock River YMCA Camp for the world. This experience made me a better person, and will carry over into my undergraduate years of college. I am going into my freshman year bearing skills
The National Junior Honor society, to me, represents the highest honor someone can achieve while in Middle School. Being accepted into such a prestigious society would not only give me an environment where I can improve my character, but it will also give me an experience which will help me gain a leadership position in the future. My intentions while in this society are to gain knowledge on what I can do to better my household as well as my community as a whole. While in this society I will work diligently to make positive changes to my community and school.
In the McWhorter School of Building Science in the College of Architecture, students have had a 100% employment rate in the two previous semesters (Nobles). This statistic alone shows one perk Auburn University has over many other colleges. Auburn University is the best college because it has the best job opportunities, the best major, and the best traditions.

Georgetown continues to foster the tradition of broad-based knowledge combined with practicality to be a successful and contributing member of society. At Georgetown, I will be able to pursue many of my passions, primarily biological sciences and political science. Ever since elementary school, my goal has been to become a physician, not only because of my interest in human anatomy but also because of my desire to help others. I selectively picked Georgetown because it does not have “pre-med” as a major. The Early Assurance Program within Georgetown College intrigues me as it provides ambitious pre-med students with an opportunity to receive assurance of their admission to Georgetown’s School of Medicine by the end of their sophomore year.
During my first semester at Georgia Southwestern State University, I realized that there are several positive and negative aspects to living on campus. As a student who lives on campus, I observe these every day. Some aspects are beneficial to students like the fitness center and student organizations because they help to enhance the health, intellect, and entertainment of life on campus. Some aspects are not beneficial to students like the lack of cleanliness in the dormitories and the food in the cafeteria because they prohibit students from enjoying life on campus. I would like to bring attention to a negative aspect of living on campus because I think that it needs to be improved to make life easier for students on the campus of Georgia Southwestern State University. The washers and dryers that are available for the use of students have several issues. I know this because I have used the washers and dryers on campus, and I have talked to other students about them. They are outdated, irresponsibly taken care of, and too expensive to use.
