Hello Committee, My name is (insert name) and I would like to share with you why I deserve this academic scholarship. One event that really changed me, was when I got my first A in middle school. It made me want to keep striving for A's and have a 4.0 GPA. If I look back at my life I think I always had pretty good grades. In elementary school I had a lot of 3's and 4's, then in middle school I had mostly A's and a few B's then in high school I had all A's. I have many life goals. I want to go to a really good college (like this one) and I would like to be a manager in whatever job I pursue. I hope you liked my short essay, and I hope you choose me.

in paragraph 6 of "sinners in the hands of an angry god" by jonathan edwards, he talks about how doing good things alone will not save men from going to hell because they're at the mercy of the will of god. "spiritual reform" provides men with a false sense of safety.
