• Ambassador Scholarship Speech Hello. First, I would like to thank you for the invitation, and for giving me the opportunity to present this speech to you. Each of the candidates was instructed to give a presentation in any way that we feel most comfortable. As you may have noticed, my presentation will be in the form of a speech, as I was on the Speech and Debate team, and this is something that has rubbed off on me. Now, we were given three topics to present on. The first topic was ‘The Reasons I Want to Attend Eastern Utah.’ This is somewhat of a personal thing for me. There are three main reasons why I chose Eastern Utah. First, as you can guess, it is close to home. I live in Ferron, and I feel that it would be easier to drive forty five minutes to and from school everyday, rather than three or four hours every other weekend. The second reason is also very predictable: Eastern Utah is very affordable. It says so in its catalogue. This reason also ties in with my third. In November, my father was in a car accident. He was in a coma for 38 days, and has only just returned home. However, he is not at the point—physically or mentally—that he was before the accident. He cannot go to work, or even get out of bed unattended. If I go to Eastern Utah, then I can be home to help my step-mother when I am not in class. Helping my family is very important to me at this point in my life. The next two topics we were given were ‘Why I want to be an Eastern Utah Ambassador,’ and ‘What I Can Contribute to the Mission of Recruitment and to the Team.’ To me, these two things consist of most of the same reasons. I want to help teens make the right choice in furthering their education after high school. Doing that consists of being very convincing; something that Speech and Debate has taught me. I love challenges. When a kid says that they don’t want to go to school, that college is a waste of time, I take that personally. I challenge myself to convince abovementioned kid to go to school, that in the long run, they will thank me. If I still can’t convince them, well…let’s just say that it hurts my pride. Being an ambassador, I think, would be so much fun, because I would get to do all of the aforementioned things, not to mention I would get to travel to high schools all over Utah, using my powers of persuasion for good. I want to become a hematologist, and I believe that going to Easter Utah for my first two years of college would benefit me more than I could ever know. And, being an ambassador would also help. This is something that you will never get to do again if you miss the opportunity. I think that this will benefit me personally, because I love to help people, no matter the situation. Thank you.
