Scholarship & Service

What does scholarship mean to you?
I feel that scholarship is an opportunity to improve and learn things at a faster pace. Also, it means that my efforts are recognized and that I should work even harder. To live up to other people's expectations and learn more things.
What resposibilities does a scholar have?
SInce that he/she's efforts are being recognized by other people, he/she must be disciplined and have strong determination. And in order to achieve that, these values must be inculcated inside. Besides this, he/she also need to repay to other people when he/she can. As scholarship is an oppurtunity given by other people. it is right for them to repay back.
What are some of the obstacles you think you will face?
Expectations that other people give me? Well, expectations are okay. But when they are high and unreasonable, it gives extra and unnecessary stress that causes unnecessary worry. Secondly, maybe tight schedule. Since I have to do well in my studies and CCA, scholarship will be another activity added to my timetable. But I think that I am able to handle this well. As long as I priorities my activities and plan it well enough, not only will this be a problem, it can also train my time management skills and make it even better.
Is a scholar also a leader? How so?
Yes, I feel that a scholar is a leader? (But a non-scholar can also be a leader.) Since the scholar possesses good qualities and is always disciplined, he will become a good leader. He will be able to lead well and influence the people around him in a good manner.
Who and how do you intend to serve as a scholar?
For this question, the answer to it can be endless. So, to put it short, I will serve my best to anything and anyone. Be it the school, my CCA, my country Singapore, I will give my best. I do not know in the future what I can give. But for now, the thing I can do is CIP.
