Of the many things that make me deserving of this scholarship is that I am able to juggle a demanding schedule of school work as well as be involved in numerous clubs and sports. I try to lead by example and become a role model to those around me. I try to model courage wherever I go. I am about my Father’s business because Phil. 4:13 states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I want those around me to know this so I try to exude the brave and humble spirit wherever I go.
