What are my goals and motivation for a scholarship?

Eric S. asked:
I’m trying to write an essay that asks what my goals and motivation for wanting a scholarship are but I’m having so much trouble writing it. I have my ideas down and everything but when I try to start on the essay I simply freeze up and my mind goes blank. Can somebody offer me any sort of help?

Write your thoughts first as if you were brainstorming. Then read them over and continue to change or clean up the sentences unti l you have the final draft.
A few things come to mind on ideas how to answer this question. The best place to start is focus on your major in college and what you want to be after college graduation. Who or what influenced your decision on the career path? Did someone inspire you to this career path, and how did they inspire you to the career path? Remember to have several people proofread and suggest pointers to help you make you get your point across before submitting.
