I'm involved in so many clubs at school. I'm in the National Honors Society, etc. I extremely want to go to Columbia College Chicago so then I can study what I really want to study which is performing arts. My family might think its a waste of time, but I beg to differ. My heart is set on that dream and I'm willing to prove them wrong. I already got accepted there. The only problem is how I'm going to pay for my tuition. My parents cannot help me even if they wanted to. That's why I'm doing everything I can to win this scholarship so then I can fulfill my dream of becoming an actress...
