Scholarship Essay

Hello thank you for taking the time to view my application for this scholarship. My name

is Jonathan Cheney and I am planning on attending (insert text) and majoring in Exercise

Science. My career goal is to help as many people as I can and improve their overall well being.

I have always put others first and have the dedication to help others in the best way I can. With

this I believe that I am the best candidate for this scholarship.

I am a very involved student as I am a three sport athlete and am involved in Football,

Basketball, and Track. I have been named athlete of the week three times and I am also a captain

of the Track team. Football, Basketball, and Track have taught me to face adversity. It taught me

to also lead when no one else is willing to. Being a track captain has allowed me to lead in ways

I thought I could never do. It also allowed me to use my ability of leadership and to improve that.

Another big activity that I am in is band. I play the trumpet and am starting to learn more

instruments. I am also in PEP Band and Jazz Band. While in band, learning is an every day thing.

No matter what we are doing we are always learning new notes, rhythms, articulations,

dynamics, styles, etc. It can be a long process but it is a lot of fun. Going into band I also decided

to join jazz band. We meet in the mornings at seven am every Tuesday and Thursday. We also

perform at contests and that is always fun. While in band and jazz band I also joined PEP band.

PEP Band is where we play at sporting events like football, basketball, and volleyball. These

activities have taught me to enjoy music, build relationships, and to just enjoy those moments of

fun with my friends.

Once again thank you for your time and consideration.
