Scholarship Essay Examples About Yourself

Crafting an essay about oneself, especially in the context of a scholarship application, presents a
unique set of challenges. The difficulty lies not only in the necessity to showcase your achievements,
aspirations, and personal growth but also in striking the right balance between humility and self-
promotion.

To begin with, finding the right words to describe your accomplishments without sounding boastful
can be a delicate task. It requires a keen understanding of your strengths and achievements and the
ability to present them in a way that is both impressive and authentic. Balancing confidence with
modesty is crucial, as you want to demonstrate your worthiness for the scholarship without coming
across as arrogant.

Furthermore, delving into personal experiences can be emotionally taxing. Revisiting significant
moments in your life, reflecting on challenges overcome, and articulating the impact of those
experiences demands a high level of introspection. This process can be both time-consuming and
emotionally draining, as you navigate the fine line between sincerity and oversharing.

Moreover, tailoring the essay to meet the specific requirements of the scholarship can add an extra
layer of complexity. Each application may have unique criteria, and aligning your personal story with
the values and goals of the scholarship organization requires careful research and consideration.

The challenge intensifies when trying to make your essay stand out among numerous other
submissions. Crafting a narrative that captivates the reader, while adhering to guidelines and
avoiding clichés, demands a creative touch. The competition for scholarships is often fierce, and
ensuring that your essay leaves a lasting impression is a formidable task.

In conclusion, writing a scholarship essay about yourself involves navigating through various
challenges, including the delicate balance between self-promotion and humility, emotional
introspection, aligning with scholarship criteria, and standing out in a competitive pool of applicants.
It's a task that requires time, effort, and a nuanced approach to storytelling.

The Battle Of The American Civil War
Introduction Thomas Stonewall Jackson was alive in a very tense time for American
History. The Southern States were in a full scale rebellion from the Union now calling
themselves The Confederate States of America. The previously unified nation was split
into two opposing sides going head to head in a battle to the death, with no end in sight.
Starting his career in the US military, Jackson continued on to become one of the most
famous generals in the American Civil War. Many historians consider him not only a
strong leader, but also one of the greatest tactical commanders in American History
(Robertson 11). Gaining his nickname Stonewall during the First Bull Run for holding a
solid line, and continuing to gain many Confederate victories in the course of the war.
Jackson was shot during the Battle of Chancellorsville which required his arm to be
amputated and he died several days later to complications with pneumonia. After this his
very name became a rallying cry and heroic symbol for the very pride and history of the
south.
Early Life Jackson grew up in a proud southern household and his family were natives
of Virginia. His father was an attorney and they were relatively well off financially. In
1826, Jackson lost both a younger sister Elizabeth and his father to Typhoid
Fever.(Robertson 7) Money became more scarce and Julia Jackson, his mother, began to
sell the family s possessions just to get by. They moved out of their previous home into a
much smaller
Theme Of Feudal Class In The Canterbury Tales
Now I have told you shortly, in a clause,/ The rank, the array, the number and the cause
/ Of our assembly in this company (lines 711 14). Geoffrey Chaucer explains to his
readers that he has given a full description of each of his fellow pilgrims in his General
Prologue to The Canterbury Tales. Along with naming each character, he provides
their profession which classifies each pilgrim into one of three social classes: the
religious class, the merchant class, or feudal order. Chaucer provides a social
commentary of the major social classes of his day, and though he criticizes characters
from each class, he most heavily criticizes the religious class more than any other.
Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales, is in favor of... Show more content on

The last character Chaucer describes in the feudal class is the Miller, a large and
imposing man. The physical description of him given includes, His beard, like any
sow or fox, was red... (138). The color red suggests that the Miller may be a Scotsman,
the British and Scottish historically disliked each other, perhaps extending to Chaucer.
Furthermore, Chaucer stated that the Miller was ... a master hand at stealing grain. He
felt it with his thumb and thus he knew its quality and took three times his due... (138).
Clearly, the Miller is portrayed as a thief who takes what he wants and is not above
violence to achieve his goals. While everyone but the Miller are admired in the feudal
class, the people in the merchant class are both admired and criticized leaving Chaucer s
feeling to be neutral to the merchant class. Throughout Chaucer s Canterbury tales, he
describes the merchant class as more of neutral type of people, some are admired while
others are criticized. The author uses his personal knowledge to better explain his
thoughts about the characters who belong to the merchant class. The first one he
mentions from the merchant class is the Merchant, he is described as sitting high on his
horse as well as making it to where none knew that he was bad in debt. The narrator states
that he does not care much about him, enough so that he does not know his name. The
next character Chaucer mentions is the
Chemistry Of Naoh ( Sodium Hydroxide Solution
EXPERIMENT: 1
AIM: To prepare 100 ml of 0.1M NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) solution.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: NaOH, beaker, distilled water, measuring cylinder, stirrer,
weighing machine, paper.
THEORY: NaOH is an organic compound aka caustic soda. It has Na+ as cationic part
and OH− as anionic part. At ambient ordinary temperature this alkali decomposes
protein causing severe burns. It is highly soluble in water and absorbs moisture and
carbon dioxide from air. In many industries pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water,
soaps and detergents are manufactured using NaOH and also used as a drain cleaner with
wide range of applications.
CALCULATION:
Molarity = Number of moles of substance 1 litre of solution
1.1= w/m 1 litre
= w/40 1 litre w = 4 gm 4 gm for 1000 ml X gm for 100 ml = 0.4 gm
PROCEDURE: Weigh 0.4 gm of NaOH using weighing machine. Add 100ml of distilled
water to the beaker. Add NaOH to it and stir it using the stirrer.
PRECAUTIONS: Weigh the distilled water and NaOH accurately. Use gloves while
weighing the organic compound to prevent injuries.

EXPERIMENT: 2
AIM: To prepare and autoclave 100 ml of agar media.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: Beaker, distilled water, stirrer, measuring cylinder, weighing
machine.
COMPONENTS OF AGAR MEDIA:
➢Peptone 0.5gm
➢Beef extract 0.3gm
➢NaCl 0.5gm
➢Agar powder 2gm
THEORY: Nutrient agar media is used to facilitate the growth of the wide range of non
fastidious bacteria.
0.5% Peptone provide organic nitrogen
0.3% beef extract/yeast extract the water soluble content of these contribute vitamins,
carbohydrates, nitrogen, and salts
1.5% agar this gives the mixture solidity
0.5% Sodium Chloride this gives the mixture proportions similar to those found in the
cytoplasm of most organisms

Character Development In The Witch, And The Wardrobe
Character Change and Development in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince
Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader, is a trilogy by C.S. Lewis about young children and their adventures in Narnia.
Character change and development is a big aspect of these books and is the main focus
in the trilogy. This big aspect definitely adds its effect to these books with their
adventures in Narnia, transitioning them from youth to adulthood. Out of all the
characters, I find Edmund, Lucy, and Peter the ones that undergo these adventures of
maturity the most.

In The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian, we see character change
and development ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Firstly, we can tell that she is more observant. For example, in The Lion, The Witch, and
the Wardrobe, Lucy is the first to notice and take interest in the Wardrobe, in Prince
Caspian, she is the first to see Aslan has come back, and in The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader, Lucy observes the painting and notices it is very narnian looking.
Furthermore, we see how brave she has gotten over the span of the series. In The Lion,
The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian, Lucy shows how brave she is by
taking out her dagger when wanting to join the war. It is not until we watch The
Voyage of the Dawn Treader, when we see Lucy actually going into physical combat,
that we know she is truly braver. Lastly, we take notice of Lucy s character
development, maturity wise. In The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lucy is an
imaginative and naïve young girl who seems to have no flaws until The Voyage of the
Dawn Treader, when she starts envying her sister s beauty and not praising her own. This
character development shows that she is growing up, now that she is more aware of the
world and that not everything is innocent like it was is before. Lucy definitely undergo
some interesting character change and developments in the Narnia

Music And Its Influence On The Italian Genre
Throughout history, various styles of music have developed to further the evolution and
complexity of music, wether it be commissioned by nobility or, composed for the
enjoyment of the normal, common populace. English madrigals, though not the longest
lasting style, is one such form of music that has had a lasting impact on the continuing
composition of music. Madrigals are defined four ways in A History of Western Music.
The fourth definition, English polyphonic work imitating the Italian genre, is what will
be covered in this paper but, to understand this definition, the other four must be
explored. Madrigals originated as a musical style in Italy in the 14th Century, but, the
style came around again in the 16th century (1588 1627), much more popular and
extremely more influential than the previous incarnation of madrigals. Madrigals are
songs in a poetic setting, such as a sonnet, or, another nonrepetative verse form.
Madrigals in England developed at the same time as mass music printing, under William
Byrd, although he himself eventually stopped composing madrigals. In volume 15 of the
Second Edition of The Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, as to the
circumstances of the rise of the madrigal, it states: A favourable literary situation
developed in the 1570s, when Spenser, Sidney and other new poets undertook a
comprehensive reform of native poetry along Italian lines. From here, Musica transalpina
was translated by Nicholas Yonge. Musica transalpina
