I applied for the Kaplan essay contest, which asked for me to write a paragraph or explanation of what college is to me and why it is important. A copy of it is below.
College to me is a gateway to the world in which you want to live and it is also way to help you achieve your goal. College is the best way to get a step ahead of the rest of the world and to help you succeed in today's world. College is also the difference of you getting to do what you want and what you have to do to get along in the world. Going to college sets you up for success in the real world and can impact your life significantly. (94 words)

I applied for the Gen and Kelly Tanabe scholarship for $1,000, I had to write a a brief essay ( less than 250 words), which I wasn't able to retrieve I had finished writing it and sent the application on their website.
