yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

My scholarship essay

How do you define success at OSU?

Having a DREAM is just a lost thought until someone listens to you. At OSU your dream is paved by counselor as an ACHIEVABLE path to success. I would define success at OSU by school spirit. This spirit is not in wearing the school colors of orange and black and cheering for our team at a sporting event. It is the marked PRIDE you get as you pull in the drive, the WARMTH and ENCOURAGEMENT in your instructors' greeting upon entering their classrooms, and leaving with a calming CONFIDENCE that encourages you to do your best until the next class period you are together. The success that OSU creates is much more than just an educational gain with a degree. It is a PERSONAL success that makes you walk taller and stronger amongst your peers. It is a GROWTH that cannot be reversed and is ever gaining. It is a sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT, with everyday and every return. Success is knowing that the EDUCATION that you will carry with you will be met with high regard amongst the colleges in your field. And it is a sense of ACCOUNTABILITY, creating a LOYALTY to yourself that has been built from the successes you have already accomplished by showing up. When asked where I attend school I proudly say OSU. Success is the pride of where I came from and where I am going. Success is remembering the path it takes for me to reach my goal. Success is the drive that I am teaching my children as an adult student still striving to attain my dreams. And, success is knowing that one day I will watch my children stand as successful as I have.

S-eeing your dream
U-nderstanding your path
C-hallenging yourself
C-onfidence building
E-ducational strength
S-hining Future
S-trength in knowledge
