Currently writing a few essays for a random scholarship I found. It's interesting what you come up with when you're asked to talk about your "goals in life" for something like a scholarship program. My plan has always to be as flexible and marketable as possible, and just see where life takes me, but you can't just say that in an essay if you want them to consider you. So, I've been actually taking some of the "wishful thinking" ideas and putting them into "concrete plans" instead. Anyone who says that scholarship essays aren't helpful hasn't tried this!
Even if I don't get the scholarship (statistically I'm sure I don't have a very good chance), this was a good exercise in putting some thoughts down. Later, I may share the interesting parts with you all.
Happy Monday!
