I have always believed that one can always accomplish his goals as long as the desire and the effort are there. For my part, I have always yearned to enter the Dundee University College of Law for energy studies. As a young boy, I have always felt that hard work always pays off. Now that I am much older, however, I realize that such is not always the case. While I have always been the diligent and hard working student, the barrier that prevents me from fulfilling my dream is not one that I can easily overcome.
As fate would have it, despite my excellent academic credentials as can be seen on my resume, I do not come from a very economically privileged family. My family does not earn enough money to send me to Dundee University College of Law. Both my parents, who continue to help support me, will be reaching retirement age by the first quarter of 2009 and without their support I will not be able to continue my studies.
I do realize that this is a story that has been told so many times before. I do also realize, however, that I may have something that may set me apart from all the other applicants. I want this and I need this assistance. There is no man as dedicated as one who is driven by a dream and by the circumstances of life. Such is my position and I hope you look kindly upon this application.
