Zachary T. Harrison Russellville High School October 9, 2013 Community Scholarship Essay I am currently a student at Russellville High School, or RHS, and two of the things that I enjoy the most are computers and outdoors, and even though they seem to be complete opposites, they are still both equally fun to me. Right now my GPA is not as high as I would like it to be, it is currently a 3.3, however I am currently in the process of raising it back to where it should be. I was born in Texas, however I moved here to Russellville during Christmas break of 6th grade. I was enrolled in the Russellville School District from then until the end of my sophomore year, when I was accepted to attend the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Science, and the Arts, or ASMSA. However I am now enrolled back at RHS for my senior year. I used to believe that I wanted to become an astrophysicist when I went to college, however during my year at ASMSA I was able to actually enroll into an astrophysics course and realized that this might not actually be what I wanted to do with my life. At the same time that I was enrolled in the aforementioned course I was also able to join the school robotics team and take a course on robotic design, none of these things were available while I was enrolled at RHS. While I was involved with the robotics team and course I was able to make some great friends that will last for years to come and also realized that this was the thing that I truly wanted to study at college. Thus I have decided that I would like to go to college and study engineering, possibly mechanical or computer. I hope to attend the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s Donaghey College starting the fall of 2014. The reason that I would like to attend UALR is that I should hopefully be able to attend for free due to scholarships, this is a necessity because my parents are not going to be able to help pay for any of the cost, and a lot of my friends from ASMSA are currently enrolled and they’ve told me that they love it there.
