Ferris State University

Why do you feel that you are the best qualified applicant for this scholarship? I am applying for this scholarship to further my education. I privileged to be attending Ferris State University, and earning my degree. When I think of a degree, it is not just something that is required to get a job. A degree is furthering your knowledge in subjects you want to know more about. The best thing about education is that is there is no limit, and no one can ever take your knowledge away from you. However, obtaining an education can be expensive, but thankfully to generous foundations and government funding, I can pursue an education. I believe that I am best qualified for this scholarship because I am involved, hardworking, and motivated. First, I wanted to talk about my passion for Radiography. Deciding to go into healthcare was not a difficult thing to decide. During high…

The United States during the 1890s heralded a dramatic break between America’s past and future. It was a decade of extreme contradiction. The unmatched cultural advancement was accompanied by intense economic unrest. While this decade saw the rise of cities, advanced technology, and rollercoasters, it also saw economic depressions, the invention of detection, and the birth of America’s serial killer. The World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 highlights the contradictions of United States culture,…

Finally the day was Wednesday the 13th of August. I was so excited to be attending the Jackson County Fair with Ryan, my boyfriend, this year. But the one thing I wasn 't excited for was to ride The Ring Of Fire. This was the ride I gazed at from my house, three blocks away. Sixty feet high in the sky, round like a ferris wheel, passengers would sit in a caged style ride, that looped around clockwise and counterclockwise, and occasionally stops at the top. The fire engine red loop reminded…

the movie. However, unlike most movies, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) hints that the viewer will be most intrigued by the character the movie is named after Ferris Bueller. However, the most interesting, multilayered, and relatable character is the supporting male character Cameron Frye. He is considered a supporting character because although he has a complex back-story of his own, his story and development cannot exist independently from Ferris Bueller’s story as he is the one who helps lead…

A second victory would be getting a degree from a four year university. I have had many people who have been a great help in achieving my victory.

One semester which happened to be the…

During the summer of the years 1133 to 1855 a famous fair came into London, most commonly known as the Bartholomew Fair. Hosted in Smithfield, otherwise known as the location popular for slaughterhouses and public executions, the fair was a trading event that attracted Londoners of all classes. Ben Jonson uses this factor to his advantage with his play entitled, “Bartholomew Fair.” The type of people, activities, and crimes that occur at the fair gives Jonson the opportunity to reflect on his…

Growing up in Chicago has provided numerous opportunities to engage with multiple ethnic cultures and customs through food, music and numerous social interactions. Those various ethnic cultures have also coalesced into a cultural kaleidoscope that has fundamentally shaped the culture of the metropolis and the way that I digest the sociocultural norms of my hometown. Therefore, when someone [myself included] identifies ‘Chicago culture,’ we are essentially referencing a geographical culture and…

College means everything to me. Since middle school I knew I wanted to go to college. I knew that I wanted to grow up and make a difference in the world. I wanted to make my family proud. Most people in my family did not go to college. I wanted to be greater than the ones that came before me, and I will do anything it takes to get where I want to be. There are people that want to stop me. They say I am not good enough or smart enough to go to college. One day I want to be able to them I did it…
