I have been vigorously applying for scholarships since the beginning of the school, trying to get as much "free" money as I can for college. I have applied for so many now that I can't remember how many I have actually applied for...
Page after page of monotonic questions, always typing in my name, address, home phone number, gender, parental information, etc., etc. Everything seems to just blend together because every page of the applications wants the same thing over and over. Isn't there an easier way?!?
...sigh...
I have completed and sent many, many applications, but I have yet to win one. It's frustrating. I feel as though I'm wasting time and effort, but I keep telling myself that I have a good chance at winning this one.
I must add that I have won something, but this was because I was the only person in my school who applied for it. However, the object won was not money. I really, really would like to win some money.
I suppose I must also include the fact that I am getting some scholarship money from Martin Methodist College to play golf there.
But I didn't really win it.
I stress the win part because I want all my efforts of laborious typing/writing to amount to something other than a moan and disappointment.
My family is middle class, and the way several scholarships are setup middle class income families are discriminated against. I don't get an equal chance compared to other applicants.
I don't mean to rant. I'm just a well-deserving student, among many, who so badly wants to win.
