"When one door closes, another one opens"
and for once......
those two quotes made my day!
It's my senior year in high school, and like many other seniors, I have been applying for scholarships for months now. I don't mind filling out the information packets, but when it comes to the essays, I really (REALLY) dread them! It is a huge advantage if you can write well, but it's a huge disadvantage for those who struggle with English.
Anyway, my mom always told me that you don't lose anything from trying. Umm, hello, what about time? Just kidding. So I listened to her, and I've been writing essays for months now.
Today I got a letter in the mail from one of the scholarships I signed up, and you know, I got a bit anxious to see what was inside. I was hoping for an awesome thousand dollar scholarship, but that's not what I found.
Actually, I found something hilarious.
A ten dollar check!Hahah. Was my essay that bad that they pity me? nah, I just think they wanted to prove a point. That anyone who attempts deserves a reward.
That was nice of them!
If only all scholarships did that....I would be rich!
