My European trip has developed me into a more responsible person. We were away from home for about one month and we had to do a lot of things that our parents normally do for us. I never realized how much I rely on my parents until I went on this trip. The European trip is a band trip that you can go to in order to represent your state. I signed up for it, thinking that it would be all fun and no work, but boy was I wrong. On this trip you had to do everything for yourself. You signed up do to specific activities and were given a time that you were supposed to be there. Take our visit to Arc de Triomphe for example. My group had over thirty kids in it and six chaperones, but we were in a very crowded and popular place in France. We were …show more content…
I couldn’t have my parents there to tell me to not buy something. My parents couldn’t be there to tell me when to start leaving in order to be back at a meeting point in time. The only time that I didn’t pack my bag for the trip was when mom was showing me how to pack everything as small as possible. Even though sometime it was hard, I am grateful that I went on that trip because I would be depending on my parents for a lot more things today if I hadn’t. I deserve this scholarship because I’ve got good grades. I’m in the top ten on the class and have a current GPA of 3.77. I’m involved in band, cross-country, basketball, and track. My grades are currently in the A- to A range. I also haven’t been late to school without a good reason. I have become a more responsible person because of my trip to Europe. I had to rely on myself through the trip. Because of this trip, I believe that I could have a better chance of getting this scholarship. I also work hard for the grades that I have now. This scholarship will help me in paying for the college classes needed in order to become an IT. Thank you for your consideration on having me as a candidate for this
As I grew older, between the transition of a child to a teenager, I learned more about my family, its culture and background, and even some back story about how they came to the United States to the first place. Back at home, my parents are certainly not home for long and everyday we weren't
Over all, I believe I embody the type of person this foundation is trying to help through this scholarship. This scholarship would mean the world to me and my family, it would help me achieve all my goals and dreams. I am confident that I am a Strong Candidate for the HSF Scholarship, and I believe I am very well rounded in all aspects of the requirements. Thank you for conserving my
I know that through my hard work and dedication I can make my goals a reality. However, it may not be possible without these Scholarships. While my parents will help me in any way they can, I am hoping that my hard work and dedication to my studies pays off. I am a very self-driven individual who will accomplish any goal I set my mind on achieving. I am also aware of how without scholarships I may face a financial setback. I am hoping that through the help of scholarships I will be able to achieve all my goals in a timely
I need this scholarship to achieve my goals and most importantly to make my family proud. My family did not get this chance that you are giving me so I am not just doing this for me, I am also doing this for them. I already have all the support from all of my family and all of my friends, but that alone is not enough to conquer my dreams, and to prove all the people that have doubted me that they were wrong. I hope that this organization can help me reach my goals, and to most importantly make them become a reality. I want to look back onto my life and know that this scholarship, and college helped me to be the man I will be. I hope you accept me into your college and most importantly giving me this
I always have gave someone a hand when they needed it most. I love helping everyone I can. I have set goals for myself in the future for my education and my career. I have a plan to make sure I achieve my goals, I want to major in Nursing. I have selected this major because I want to help people when they are at their worst, to get better.

My plans are to work in a pediatric doctors office or, hospital. Getting this scholarship will help me to focus more on school instead of my job to pay off school.
Each of us had learned something from that trip. For me, this experience has taught me what gratitude is, the impact a good attitude has, what a servant looks like, and really how the relationships we make with our life are the most important aspect of life. It was the summer after my freshman year of high school. Earlier in the year, my parents had decided that they wanted to go on a mission trip as a family and serve somewhere.
This summer me and my family went to Europe, more specifically Paris, and London. I loved my trip because I was able to learn new and different things about both countries I was in. The differences between France, England, and the United States are tremendous. The smells, sights, tastes, interactions between people were all different than the U.S. especially different than from Minnesota. First my family
This scholarship is especially important to me because it will aid me in furthering my education in college in order to major in accounting. Since early on in high school I always had an interest in math, numbers, and creating spreadsheets. The foundation for this began as I helped my parents put together expense sheets and financial documents. I also helped my dad put together inventory reports, price lists, and PowerPoint presentations for his job. My interest in the accounting and finance field especially grew when I took the Business Computer Applications classes. Throughout these classes I learned many skills that can apply to accounting and working for a business in general. At the end of these classes I ended up certifying in four of

I still remember that beautiful amusement park in Hawaii, where things look like fairy tales and strange people seem to be drawn from a science fiction book. There, the streets are made of small bricks red and light brown, the trees are adorned with red and blue colorful lights, the workers disguised as an interesting and striking form, the sky was full of vibrant colors because the special effects from the rides and everything around me was like a different world from ours. Arriving there, the first thing I thought was how much food I could eat that day since the restaurants looked like Hansel and Gretel's house, made full of candies. Its smell was so striking that it could be
I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, our friends, and play all sorts of games. This experience made me start to like traveling. Every time I would get the chance to travel, I will take that chance. We were able to go to a theme park, eat many delicious foods, and play many video
There is nothing quite like traveling, going someplace new and finding out more about the world and yourself. Anyone can become a traveler it just takes a little bit of faith and courage. Traveling across the world or even across the country is a learning experience. When you are a traveler you see how people live and how different cultures work. It is the best educational experience you could give yourself. You see how the world works in a way no one can teach you. Seeing different cultures and people help build the person you want to be. If you are a traveler the world influences you, because when traveling, you see the good and the bad, and you learn from the right and the wrong. I am very lucky that I am able to be a traveler and see this
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
The world is a magnificent place that’s full of life and new places. Places that are waiting to be walked upon and viewed by the eye’s of travelers. To make new memories and go places that is beyond the walls of reality and new pathways of life. To truly experience the wonders that the world has to offer can be expressed by the life of one single person, setting off into the world to gain a higher purpose about the world. Traveling individually enables people to broaden their minds and accumulate new ideas and new experiences both nationally and internationally. By setting off into the world a person has the ability to learn so many new things, but also find so much about themselves while in the process of traveling.
My most memorable trip was the day I went to the Children 's Memorial Hospital to meet my baby brother. Meeting my brother was an indelible moment because I had never felt such happiness and love for someone. On our way there, I also got to create a bond with both my parents and learn how to be a better happier person. At the time I was sixteen years old and was going through a stage where I felt depressed and that’s why the day I arrived at the hospital to meet my brother I felt this warmth in my heart that made me feel happy again.
