Scholarship Essay about Goals
Scholarship Essay about GoalsEver since I was a young kid I have always been interested with aircraft. I
was so curious of how airplane’s fly. I remember taking my toys apart to see
how it works. As a kid I wanted to go to the airport to watch the airplanes
land and fly and pondered how this happens. Other kids wanted to go to the
amusement places. As I grew older I became more and more interested in
aircraft and the technology behind it. I always involved myself with aviation
early on. I read books and magazines on aviation, took museum tours, built
model airplanes. When I was younger my father would take me to aircraft
repair facilities where I would watch in great fascination. In my teens, went
up to the military bases and befriended many soldiers involved with aircraft
and asked them numerous questions. I got to meet many aeronautics engineers
and borrowed their old textbooks and read them till the wee hours of the
morning. As technology improved with information superhighway, I logged on
the web. Stayed up for hours and hours searching through web pages and web
pages of information about aircraft and technology.
I started my elementary school in the Philippines, then we moved to U.S. and
continued my high school education and graduated. Enrolled at the CCSF to

and hopefully to be an aeronautic professor so can help and share my
knowledge and experience to the new students who wish to be an aeronautics

taking 21 units. With my hard work in doing my homework and submitted on
time; studied hard and gained higher grades on my tests; and did extra
credits, I was able to earned a GPA 4.0 last semester `and I was included on
the current dean’s list in aeronautics. I received an achievement award for
this presented in the Chancellor’s Award Ceremony last December 1998 in CCSF.
I have also been accepted to the CCSF honors program and was invited to be a
member of the Omega Chapter of Alpha Gamma Sigma, the California Community
College Honor Society. After these achievements, I became more motivated in
my studies and it helped me strive hard to aim for a perfect grades hoping to
get on the scholarship program.
When we first move to the U.S. my family as a whole encountered so many
problems. All the sacrifices we encountered and until now we are still
