For this assignment, we had to create a personal statement that connected to a scholarship we wanted to receive from UHMC.
This project addressed 21st century information skills because we had to use the information we learned from our textbook and in-person lectures. This was then applied to our letter in terms of formatting, voice, and writing style.
I am proud of how this personal statement turned out. I was able to write about my interest in business and how I wanted to continue my education. I was able to convince the audience that I deserved the scholarship.
By doing this assignment I was able to explore the ways that I can connect with a future scholarship opportunity and convince them that I am the right applicant to receive the money. This exercise allowed me to explore the ways in which I can grow as a college student.
This project was difficult for me due to the fact that I have very little experience in applying for a scholarship compared to my peers, so writing this letter was different than what I am used to. With the help of my professor I was able to get the support I needed to create an excellent personal statement.
If I were to improve this letter, I would want to add more to the more personal part of the letter describing how I got my passion and drive.
This relates to what I have learned because I have had to present myself in the best light before and prove to another person of authority that I am worthy of whatever I am asking for.
In the future I will be able to use this assignment as a template for a real personal statement and connect with future financial aid opportunities.
