When I first heard we had to write a scholarship essay about ourselves, I felt annoyed like I do with most assignments. I didn’t want to do it. Write about something you’ve done or experienced, it was something I’ve done a thousand times. I slacked it off and didn’t do it until it was due in 2 days. But when I wrote this essay, I felt it was very easy to write about my story and what came out of it.
I thought the story I had was a pretty unusual one, but came out nicely on to paper. I found it to be very fresh in my mind almost as if I was still living that experience. I reflected on the hard time I had and really thought about some of the qualities I had gained from that circumstance. I felt weird bragging about it in a sense to random people I didn’t know, but it felt good to know that I had an experience that made me a better person.
