So, I was having some issues with writing my essay for this scholarship. So I asked Kelsey to write it for me. 

Results:

In 250 words or more please answer the following:

1. Why do you want to participate in the Bridges Summer Program?

2. Describe any personal challenges or adversity you experienced.

3. How will the Bridges program help you in achieving your educational and career goals?

“Sitting in my kitchen, staring amidst the countertop, I am in perfect view of a Ritz Cracker Box. But ALAS, it is not any old box of Ritz Crackers. Indeed, it is the Brown Sugar Cinnamon variety. Like those very crackers, I am a student who is not like all the others. I actually want to take summer classes. That is why I want to be in this program. Plus, also, I will be eating those Ritz Crackers soon. But I will not be eaten. I will stay committed to my studies. I want nothing more than to be apart of the Valencia Bridges Program. Only then will I be the best cracker I can be.

I am a ginger. However, unlike some of my peers, I am not a pure- bred ginger. In fact, both of my parents are brunettes. They do not even have that many freckles. What the fuck? Not only am I the black sheep in my family, but at school  I am surrounded my “thugs” and “g”s. I guffaw when I am amused, instead of smirking and saying “That shit’s hilarious!” while walking away as if I had just been shot. When I go outside, I burn. When I stay inside, I am surrounded my mirrors, which only reinforces my condition. So, I cannot think of anything besides. I am often teased by my asshole friends, because they are more ginger than I am. I can only hope that because of this scholarship, given by this very fine establishment, I will be able to get a degree, a good job, and reconstructive surgery. 

Well, I want to get out of this shit hole of a town. Excuse my french. Also, I love education, learning, professors, and work! Let us begin by outlining my educational and career goals. I would love to attend the Valencia College. Ever since I was a little girl, whenever my family would make the long trip into Kissimmee, usually to go to the Cracker Barrel, I would stare longingly at the Clock Tower. As I got older, time kept on passing. The clock, however, stayed. Not the hands, though, they moved. So, when I got the wonderful opportunity of dual enrolling, I signed up faster than a male deer would cross the road, lookin’ for some tail. Unfortunately, this coincided with a terrible car accident, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. Anywho, I would like to become and educator, educating the uneducated. I have started by taking Early Childhood Classes at my high school (GO DOGS!) and will continue at Valencia, and then UCF. Valencia bridges will allow me to be able to afford to do this. My family is po’. Notice that, unfortunately, we cannot afford the “o,” nor the “r.” It’s a sad story. Our situation is not the best. My parents have adopted two children, who are simply uncontrollable. One digs holes, OUTSIDE of all places! My parents do not have the best of jobs. My pappa has left home to find work in Texas. I miss him when he is away, but I know it is for the best. My mama is unemployed. She gave up her dreams of being a country singer in order to stay home with us kids. I only want to make my parents proud by getting my college degree. Without the Valencia Bridges Program, I will prolly end up pregnant, and dead.”

aw, thanks. <3
