...I was extremely thankful for all the scholarships that were available to me to get to those places. As I got into High school I also volunteered to be on work crew for these camps to give other kids the same opportunity for the scholarships that I was able to receive. There were plenty of community service opportunities to do to help raise money for kids that wanted to go away to camp. I was ready to jump on any one available because I knew how eye opening and life changing it was for me, and I wanted others to be able to feel the same. The benefits others provided for myself was life changing, and the benefits my community service provided to others also made durastic change in many lives. When I came to a realization that I wanted to help others, as others helped me, I was no longer selfish about anything. Giving is something I find great joy...

...Literacy on Scholarship, Practice, and Leadership in the Clinical Environment University of Phoenix The Influence of Information Literacy on Scholarship, Practice, and Leadership in the Clinical Environment Information Literacy is a crucial portion of the scholarship, practice, and leadership model. Information Literacy that is utilized in a clinical setting by Physicians, Physician Assistants, and Nursing staff help to determine the type of care that is provided to patients. “Information competence is a basis for long-life learning competence and is necessary in any way of learning” (Tursheva, 2009, p. 127). As a scholar, practitioner, and leader, one must possess the knowledge and the ability to access various types of information.

...ELITISM As Romanticism began to fade, the product of its impact on education became apparent. The emphasis on university-educated specialists began to tell as the number of active classical scholars doubled from 141 working in 1750 onwards to 350 post-1850. Half of these scholars were working in Germany. Because of this the growth of a new predominately German class of educated bourgeoisie, the Bildungsbürgertum, had a huge impact on classical scholarship and European scholarship as a whole. The Bildungsbürgertum was a bourgeoisie social class. What distinguished them was university level education, which was mainly theological or classical. Certain class traits were widespread; they were defined by insularity, isolationism, and an utmost...

...Coming into college, I knew that I wanted to study abroad. I had heard from older friends that their time abroad had been life-changing, and I wanted to experience it for myself. I grew up travelling internationally because my extended family lives in China, but I have never intentionally gone abroad for school. I was always to visit family or for tourist purposes. After talking to my academic advisor during orientation, she recommended that I study abroad during the fall of my sophomore year which I thought was too early. My advisor also suggested that I study abroad over the summer, but I knew that I wanted to go abroad during a semester, not over the summer. I wanted to study during a semester because I wanted to experience the culture for...

...Scholarship Letter Name: As long as I remember myself, I was interested in the way things around me worked. When I was a little child, as my parents keep telling me that, I was constantly taking apart toys and other things I was able to lay my hands on. When I was asked why I did it for, I answered: “To know how to repair them when they break”. Although I am not very sure about the reality of this occasion, I tried to make this idea the principle of my life. Although am a disabled (having Polio disease) and using a wheelchair since I started going to kindergarten, at school I participated in all activities, clubs and societies that had anything to do with engineering, computer sciences and electronics. By the end of my school years, I understood that it was Electronics Technology that was my greatest passion. Electronics Technology is the field of science that has completely changed our lives in a period of time less than several decades, creating the picture of the world that is completely different from what we have been used to for millennia. And I am very eager to take part in this changing. In fact, my plan is to get the Bachelor of Electronics Engineering degree and I will use my unique ability gain through school, work, and community outreach to unite the talents of people with different backgrounds and cultures, thereby enhancing the society’s image and public relations, both nationally and internationally. Dear scholarship committee, you can help me to achieve...

I was able to feel loved for the first time in my life, because of her. Despite the struggles I went through, I was able to accomplish something no one believed I could. I was able to be the first one in my family to graduate high school and be blessed with the amazing opportunity to go to college.

However, I wholeheartedly believe I would have not been given these incredible opportunities without the endless effortt, support, and motivation that my aunt instilled...

...July 14, 2013 is the day that will be remembered and recognized by my family as one of the most trying times in our lives. On this day, my grandmother made the most challenging decision of her life as she discontinued the life support on her companion of over 15 years, Homer Mittelstadt. Growing up, Homer and I shared every birthday celebration together since I was born on his 60th birthday. Having that connection with Homer is what led to our strong strong relationship even as non-biological Grandfather and Granddaughter. Only 16 years old at the time of Homer’s passing I couldn’t quite wrap my head around Homer’s situation. Between my grandmother’s sobs and the comforting words of the supportive community, I came to understand that Homer...

...Vern M. Rotruck Lyndsey Daniel Comp I MWF 12:00 19 November 2014 Why High School Football Shouldn’t Be Banned. Football, ever since it began, has had the constant question of should it be banned. Footballs origins began back in ancient Greece where even then it was known as a very rough and brutal game. When football came to England it was thought to be so rough that kings Henry II and Henry IV both actually banned it. A lot has changed since those times in history. We now have equipment for the game and every year the equipment keeps evolving into a more safety conscious design for the player. Rules for the game also keep changing throughout the years with the player’s safety in mind as well. Because of these changes, it has greatly improved the sport for the player and shouldn’t be banned do to its once rough past. When people think of football one of the first things that comes to one’s mind is injuries that the player may receive. “Dr. R. Dawn Comstock and her staff analyze the data to describe the rates, patterns, and trends of high school sports-related injuries. Such epidemiologic analysis is the necessary first step toward the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based, targeted prevention programs to reduce the number and/or severity of injuries among high school athletes.”(University of Denver Colorado). Each high school has their own programs that is mentioned by Dr. Comstock in place to help alleviate those injuries. Here this year Riddell...

College is not for everyone, but the price of it should not discourage anyone from going. Student loans are avoidable, scholarships and grants help lower the chance of having an incredible amount of debt, or no debt at all, and degrees can help anyone get their dream job. There are websites where textbooks can be purchased at a much reasonable price and some textbooks can even be downloaded instead of buying them all together. College helps build character and it even raises self-esteem. It's worth a second glance because it can be completely life-changing. There's no guarantee that graduating college will give anyone a job in their desired field. It's how the person uses their degree(s) to their full advantage that brings a job. ...

...should just be studying. Suno starts to get fed up with all the talks and his loud home, so he tries and find a new place to go and study; The Park. At the park he meets other students who are just like him; tired of all the noise at home and fed up from their parents fussing at them to study. Anita Desai’s Studies in the Park obviously connects with the significance of education worldwide, pressure placed on students for education and the pressure for incentives offered for education globally. Many students are always faced with the same problem everyday: Education. Desai showed importance on the pressure that students from India face and how expectations rise every year. Desai’s story may have been a copy of her very own young life because she focused on one’s...

...beyond what is received in scholarships. This topic has become more prevalent recently because the NCAA has been contemplating changing the policies for compensating college athletes. This is due to the fact that people are starting to view college athletics as more of a business then just a program at colleges and universities. The research question that is posed based on this topic is should colleges and universities pay their college athletes for participating in a sports program. I have found many sources on various databases. These sources present information on both sides of the argument. Some of these sources give some background information and show how...

...There is no argument that ‘people’ are an organizations’ number one asset and has the ability to determine the success or failure of the organization. These individuals’ possess the capability of growth and development; thus, the importance of the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors. Although an organization does not own people, it does shoulder the responsibility and power to implement tools to increase job performance to achieve the overall mission. In the not-so-distant past, business leaders and employees alike considered Human Resource (HR) professionals as “Employee Champions” whose primary function was to engage in one-on-one interactions with people communicating organizational policies and procedures, collecting resumes, explaining company benefit packages, etc. In the past two decades, the internet has become a powerful information tool that has revolutionized business practices by facilitating changes in how organizations conduct business.

...Paul Banks Ocean Atlantic Rentals Swinton Scholarship September 17, 2014 This summer I worked in Avon, North Carolina as a delivery driver for Ocean Atlantic Rentals (OAR). I learned a lot this summer including how to drive a box truck, how to and how not to talk to girls, and most importantly I learned how hard work can pay off in huge dividends. When I first walked into OAR at the beginning of the summer I met some strangers that eventually became my best friends and the people that I would share the most incredible summer of my life with. After meeting my new co-workers, my attention was drawn to a quote written in big black letters on the wall: “You may be whatever you resolve to be.” –Major General Stonewall Jackson. This inspirational quote has helped shape me into the person that I strive to become. When I graduate from Hampden-Sydney College I want to open a successful business and make ridiculous amounts of money. Now, I don’t want to sound egotistical or arrogant, so I will say if this dream comes true I do not plan to be greedy nor do I plan on flaunting my money around. I want to help people with this money and to make a difference in this world. I want to leave an everlasting impression on people in a very positive manner. Being extremely filthy rich makes it very easy to help people that are in need but if I do not succeed in this goal I will still help out others who are in need. In the past, I have rang bells for the Salvation Army to raise money...
