My plans for further education were not always as ambitious as they are now. In fact, there were times when I didn't plan to attend a college at all. Since I made the decision that I wanted to earn a bachelor's, masters, and doctorate degree in physics, my work in high school has changed accordingly. I am now very well prepared to excel at university.
Most obviously, my core classes have reflected my intent to pursue a degree in science. I have several credits more than I need in both science and math and I earned some of these credits in supplemental courses. I have taken several AP courses in these areas, including AP Calculus, Physics and Biology. Considering all of these challenges, my course work has prepared me very well for further education.
My preparation for college extends beyond class choice, however. I am a National Merit semifinalist as a result of my performance on the PSAT. At certain universities, I might be eligible for scholarships of hundreds of thousands of dollars. I will also be eligible for other scholarships, such as the millennium scholarship. Any scholarships that I receive in addition to merit based scholarships will only help me to pay for more of my education. If I can earn enough, I might be able to pay for the first four to six years of college without incurring any debt. This would help me enormously when I graduate and begin looking for a research position in physics.
All scholarships that I receive will be extremely helpful. I'm sure that most could say the same, but I'm demonstrably capable of achieving the goals that I set for myself. If I am able to study physics in college, I guarantee that I will secure a research position for myself.
