Getting a Scholarship Is Important Because...

My interest in sailing began when I was younger and my older brother Cameron took these lessons. This scholarship will help me follow in my brothers footsteps in learning how to sail. Thank you for considering my application.

I want to take sailing lessons with my brother so we can learn together. It would be a lot for both of us to go so this scholarship will be very good. I like seeing the little boats go out when i'm at the beach. I'm glad I'm old enough to do it now.

I'm excited because I like the water and we live on the lake. I also think sail boat's are pretty. taking this class will help me learn the importance of safety of being on a boat. Any maybe someday I will own my own sail boat.

Not very many kids at my school would be able to say they went to sailing club and learned how to sail. I like being on boats and a sailboat looks like a lot of fun. If I went to sailing club, I would know how to sail and my dad and sister would not and it would be fun to teach them. I would also be able to take them out on the lake.

I would learn how to sail, I have never done that before, and I think sailboats look like a lot of fun. I like that when you are sitting on the edge of a sailboat the water goes up to your knees. It would be fun to race a sailboat and I would get to have fun with my friends.

I would like to do sailing camp because I am reading A lot of books that are based on water or some sort of sailing things. I find Learning about sailing is cool and very intresting. I also want to know what to do incase of an amergincy Like a flood. I think sailing could be intresting and enjoying sailing on the calm waters of lake Michigan. That is why I would like to do sailing camp.
