i am not looking for anyone to write the whole thing for me. i am just looking for help/tips/advice on how i should start it off.

Answer 1

~How about this:
"I deserve not only to attend college but I deserve to attend free of charge because I refused to be bothered by writing your lame essay and I got some complete stranger (unknown to either you or me) to do it for me. I was neither smart enough or ambitious enough to do it myself, and isn't that just the kind of student you want to blow your scholarship funds on rather than some nerd who actually does his own work (what a fool)? Anyway, I need the bread and you should give it to me just because I want it.
What I learned most in highschool was, if I could get suckers to do my work for me on Yahoo Answers, I wouldn't have to do it myself so I guess the most influential course I took use computer lab and as soon as the folks on that site tell me what school I should attend, and what my mafor should be, I'll let you know."

How many times are you going to post this question?

Answer 2

what I would do is instead of what you liked about a course, I'd see what i didn't like about it first. You know right away what you didn't like in the past year or so whether it be the teacher or the material or the equipment used. After you figure that out, ask yourself WHY you didn't like it? Too hard/easy? WHen you decide why you didn't like, ask yourself what you would change and how. Then think about what you did like about the course. Combine what you would change and how with what you did like. It is easy and hard sometimes to write only about what you liked in a subject. Sometimes its easier to write about what you disliked. The point of your essay will be the good and bad of the course you chose and why it influenced you and how it influenced you. For example, Math. People hate math because of all the formulas and its so much to remember. People like math because it makes things easier later on in life. Something you would change is that you can make and have more calculators or charts issued to the students to simplify the tasks in math. Or something like that. Chose a course you liked but look for what you disliked first. Then the good. Combine what you like/dislike/and would change. Make it personal. Make the paper reflect your opinions and ideals not what you think they want you to say. The readers of scholarship applications know people write what they want to hear not always what they really mean. Hope it works out for you. Good luck.

Answer 3

If you are in 9th grade you are just entering HS or still in JHS. What you ask is impossible, you haven't had any HS courses.

You could use a JHS course. Start with a course that you found interesting or a teacher who set a good example as a role model. Alternatively, you can do one on a course that you HATED. That, at least, would be different from 99% of other papers.

Say you had wanted to be a travel agent, but hated geography so much that you've changed your mind.

Hope that helped.

Answer 4

Simple... Pick the course of your choice and think about why you have picked that particular course. What lead you to pick that course and why? When you find out the answer to that question, you will then know how to define how it will affect your career path?
E.G If you want to do nursing, then you may express that you always cared about the psychical and mental health concerning other people. You could specify the need for good health services and how you would like to see them change in the future.
You may also express the fact that you have a gift that could benefit the overall outcomes concerning peoples health. That gift could be having empathy for sick and injured people, but also having the desire to expand on your career goal by-way of higher education.

I hope this helps you honey.

Answer 5

ok, i hear you darling.
forst of all, think about the high school courses that you enjoyed most, and which ones hlped you see a different aspect of life. like, maybe one has influenced you in the way you act, or made you take a decision about somehting, you know?
then, use a piece of paper to organize your thoughts. think of a good introduction, like a quote, a question, etc. somehting catchy. then relate it to your topic. after that, talk about the high school course, explain how it has affected you, why it has affected you, and why did that specific course affect you into taking some new decision, or seeing life in a new way. then in the end, relate your conclusion to your introduction. be sure to use advanced vocabulary thorough the whole essay. also, be fluent, you know, make your sentences flow, so that when the people read it, it seems like pleasure. make it sound friendly, and natural, yet formal, like coming from a teen that has become responsible. i wish you the best of luck, if you need more help, email me!

Answer 6

First of all, pick your class that you want to write about. Is it English, Biology, Spanish, or what? Then think how the teacher in that class or the things that you WILL learn in that class can help you. Start from there and then describe the class. There's a starter for you.

Answer 7

Sorry, but these are questions only you can answer....what is your chosen major? Start with that, and work backwards....pick a course that ties in with that...either the teacher or curriculum influenced you......make a strong statement about who you are and where you're going...sell yourself!

DO YOUR OWN DAMN HOMEWORK.
