A West Chester foundation scholarship is beneficial to me in many ways. A West Chester scholarship will not only help me with my financial needs but also push me to work harder because I will be 1 of many to receive a scholarship and not everyone will be able to experience this. I will have to work much harder, to pay off in work/studies what was given to me by a person(s) who cared enough about my education, as much as I do. A scholarship will mean a lot to me, because having a scholarship opens up many doors for you. For example, you could put on a resume that you have received a great amount of money due to a college scholarship and that could possibly impress what could be your future employer. That would be a wonderful addition to a resume
“I am sick - discontented - and out of humor. Poor food - hard lodging - Cold Weather - fatigue - Nasty Cloaths - nasty Cookery - Vomit half my time - smoak’d out of my senses - the Devil’s in’t - I can’t Endure it - Why are we sent her to starve and freeze…” (Waldo, 1777) The American soldiers spending the winter at Valley Forge suffered in the bad conditions. During that winter, the disease “small pox” attacked a large percentage of the soldiers in Valley Forge, causing them to die. As a result, many soldiers left or fled from Valley Forge. Would you have quit? An American soldier at Valley Forge should not have quit. This is because they should fight for their independence,realize that they have a high chance at survival, and both Washington
Valley Forge was George Washington’s winter camp in the years 1777-78. It was a harsh and cold time for the Colonists troops then, and many were considering leaving the Continental Army or deserting. Many died but most of the troops survived the cold winter. They trained and drilled to become better soldiers. If I were a soldier at Valley Forge, I would choose to stay. One reason I would stay is that less than half the soldiers died or got sick in Valley Forge according to Estimates of Illness and Death. This means that your survival rate at Valley Forge was over 50%. Usually, that’s enough to keep me somewhere. So that’s one reason I would stay at Valley Forge. Another reason I would choose to stay at Valley Forge is that according to Doctor
Would you have quit at Valley Forge? Residing in Valley Forge are 12,000 of approximately 25,000 men of the Continental Army. Led by the phenomenal general George Washington, many brave lives are volunteers to fight for independence. Although the Washington’s army was very hopeful, it was having difficulties parting from Britain. Lacking a settlement for the winter of 1777, half the army retreated to Valley Forge. As they were undergoing horrific times, Britain quartered pleasantly in Philadelphia just 18 miles Northwest. Conditions are horrible for Valley Forge, lacking necessities and military aid. Although the French provided money and troops soon after, it was not nearly enough for the camp. The odds aren’t even at all and a troop’s will
The air is filled with the smell of burning bodies. It is the winter of 1777, and my condition is getting worse as the days pass. Most of the soldiers here don’t rest that much so everyday they look weary. The winter at Valley Forge started on December 19, 1777 in Pennsylvania. The question I ask myself everyday is if I have served my 9 months should I reenlist or leave? I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are smallpox and diseases, bad weather and starvation, and poor medication and treatment. I know that if I don’t re-enlist it could make a huge impact on the soldiers.
Cold winters, nasty cookery, worn out shoes, and lack of support was the definition of valley forge. My winter at valley forge was a difficult time, not just for me, but as well as my fellow soldiers due to many factors. The question “ would you have re-enlisted?” determined many soldiers futures. I did not re-enlist due to three main reasons, deaths due to illness, harsh conditions, and lack of support.

The Prairie Meadows Scholarship will help me to pursue an education at the University of Iowa. With the money given I would use it to earn a degree in engineering or a degree dealing something with the law. My favorite subjects in High School were math and science. My whole life math has always come easy to me and for some odd reason I have a passion for math. During my Junior year of High School I took my second physics class and gained an interest in physics. Besides math and science, when I was a young boy I always dreamed of becoming a police detective, I used to run around the house pretending I was getting all of the “bad guys”. Now a days I also find being a lawyer fun and intriguing. I plan on earning my degree and graduation college.
I have lived in the hot state of Arizona for the past 6 years. It’s taken me years to adjust to the outside heat as I’m used to being in a cool climate. The city of Arizona that my family and I live in is Scottsdale. The absolute location of Arizona is 34.0000° N, 112.0000° W, and the relative location of Arizona is at the border of Mexico between New Mexico and California. Absolute location is the exact spot on the earth expressed by a coordinate system.

Apparently writing this short statement is supposed to be as easy as describing why I want to win the lottery. But I really don’t think it is. There is one reason why I want to win the lottery; I want a lot of money. There are hundreds of reasons to attend Swarthmore. I’m a huge fan of the Honors Program. Small, discussion based classes that focus on the sharing of ideas and discourse? Sign me up! Swarthmore is unique in that it can provide that small classroom environment while still being a top liberal arts college. I’m also interested in being a part of the Swarthmore Mock Trial team. My past participation in Mock Trial was amazing and I hope to replicate it many times over. I also really liked the emails that the Swarthmore admissions team
