Scholarship Essay by Andrew Kovalak

Scholarship

I hope I have used my education to leave evenmore of a positive legacy for myself in this church. Throughout school, I have been taught multiple different lessons in the real world which has allowed me to improve my impact on the world around me.

As I continue on with my education in a post secondary school, I hope there are more lessons to be learned to where I can improve the world even more. Whether it be in the classroom or the social aspects of college, I could use those experiences to set examples for the younger generations that are growing in the church, which could lead even a longer lasting impact that the parish could use. More of the kids at a church will be the future of the parish, and if I can positively impact them through what I have learned through school, it could lead to a brighter future of our parish. I hope my future endeavors can more positively impact my community through everything I learn as a college student.

The classes that I take during my time at the university I will be able to apply to whichever career or business that follows in the next years of my life. I hope to use my improved education from the following years to learn many different life skills that I can apply to certain situations.

You never know when any type of situation could occur as a part of the community, and I wish to use my acquired knowledge to come out of all of these situations with positive results. Education is extremely helpful with discovering your weaknesses, but it also allows you to improve on those weaknesses and eventually develop them into strengths. If you have a wider variety of strengths, you can apply them to even a higher amount of situations where they are present. I plan on using my education to develop a sense of hard work, which can allow me to even help grow our community in even more ways. Hard work can be a very common aspect of completing projects in the community, and if I am able to use more determination to help out with these projects, then it could lead to a longer lasting impact for the future of the community.

Another acquired skill that can be enhanced through education is problem-solving. Problem-solving is a skill that is used basically everyday of your life, and the improvements of your problem-solving will allow for improved results when you encounter any possible circumstance.

In more of an indirect way to improve my legacy on the community, working hard in my education could result in a higher class profession. Therefore, if I am able to earn a higher income, I will be able to provide my community with more financial help during a crisis. There are always different ways throughout the community that could use donations for positive impacts, and a higher earning job could allow myself to improve many different areas of the community. As a part of my future endeavors, volunteer work is an aspect of my life that I hope to continue to use as I grow old. Volunteer work can be a very impactful action that I can follow through with in our world, and is always going to be a way for my own legacy to improve. It allows me to get more involved with everyone in the world around me, and if that impact is large, then a wide variety of positive outcomes could result from the volunteer work.

Education can teach you a lot about how society works, and all of that knowledge can be used in everyday situations throughout your life. It can teach a lot about how the economy works, how politics are run, and how different processes on Earth can occur. The field of politics is an important area to improve your knowledge in, as it allows you to discover which side of politics you agree with more. This can allow me to vote for whichever candidates are best for improving the communities around us, which can eventually improve my own legacy in the long run. In conclusion, I hope the skills that I gain from my education and future endeavors will allow me to leave more of positive legacy on my church, community, and the world.
