Drew is applying for a scholarship at school. This is one of the benefits of a private school. They are giving out $4000 in $150 increments to assist in fianancing supplemental activites of students, such as camps, seminars, etc. Students are chosen for showing excellence in the different areas of arts, science, athletics, math, etc.
Drew is applying in the area of athletics! He had to write an essay about his area of interest, why he should be considered for the scholarship, how it will effect his life and how he will apply it to his family, community and school. He did a nice job with the essay. He also had to have a teacher write a letter for him. He asked his soccer coach to write it.
Regardless of whether he is actually awarded a scholarship, I am pleased that he went thru the process. Just writing the essay and asking his coach to write a letter is a valuable learning experience.
