Adventurous cut
“If I were to describe myself in three words, I would say that I am a very kind, sporty, and adventurous person. I love being outdoors, hanging out with friends, playing sports, and going on long hikes or runs with a good view. In school I was one of those students who tried too hard in sports classes. I hate being stuck in a classroom, I always loved being outside and doing something that is hands-on and practical.
My dream career would be to work as an exercise physiologist, because I know how important physical health is for people to live their best lives. Helping individuals feel better, without injury or worry, is something I hope to do. Being able to learn and one day teach what I love doing in life excites me and keeps me looking forward to completing this degree.
When I received the phone call to inform me that I had won the scholarship the first feeling I had was a complete sense of relief and excitement because I immediately knew that I wouldn’t have to worry so much about money while trying to pass my units. So far I’ve been using it to pay for rent, groceries, utilities, and other university expenses; which has helped me stay focused on my degree, as during exam periods I can cut down on shifts at work without worrying about any financial problems.”
