Question

In the end, I study ahead of time and always take advantage of down time during the week. (14) It is much more common to see me turn a project in early rather than late. (15) I also am always dedicated to not just completing tasks, but doing so successfully. (16) No matter how hard the project or obstacle, I seek out help when necessary in order to do well.

(17) I have enclosed the required financial information as stated on the application. (18) With two family members already in college, my mother, who is a single head of household, will be financially burdened to afford me the opportunity to attend without financial aid. (19) I am hoping that a scholarship to Lewis College can help me achieve my academic goals.

(20) Sincerely,
Dee Dee Maple
