My Eldest is Applying for a Scholarship

[And this is the letter he cranked out in about 10 minutes.]

Mrs. Teacher's Name

St. Brendan School

 

 

Dear Mrs. XXXX,

 

I feel I would be a good candidate for the Aquinas Scholarship Endowment Fund because I think I could accurately represent the high academic standards St. Brendan School and its teachers uphold.  

 

I would also like to address the fact that I am involved in many of the extracurricular options presented to me because I attend St. Brendan. I have been involved in Power of the Pen (8^th grade), Youth-to-Youth (7^th and 8^th grades), football (4-8^th grades), basketball (4^th grade), In-the-Know (6-8^th grades), Math Counts (8^th grade) and track and field (7^th and 8^th grades). I also served on the Student Advisory Board in 5^th and 8^th grades. I qualified for the Spelling Bee several years (1^st, 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th and 8^th grades). In 5^th grade, I placed 3^rd and went to the Diocesan Spelling Bee as an alternate. 

 

I am also active in the St. Brendan Parish and attend the V.E.R.Y. Edge meetings before Mass. I was an altar server as well in 5^th and 6^th grades. After Mass, I hand out bulletins to parishioners. I will represent St. Brendan this summer at Catholic Heart Workcamp as part of the LIFE TEEN program. 

 

I plan to attend St. Charles Preparatory School and continue my Catholic education there. I do realize that it is very academically challenging and I believe I am ready to accept that challenge. 

 

My mother has always told me that, no matter where I am, I am representing my school. Even without my uniform, I am representing St. Brendan and I would be proud to continue to do so through the Aquinas Scholarship Endowment Fund. 

 

Thank you for this opportunity and thank you for taking the time to read this letter.  

   

Sincerely,  

   

   

   

Haydn Wells
