The World is My Playground

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Italy | Saturday, November 24, 2012 | 5 photos

My amateur shot photos may be a glaring reason why I may not be chosen, but I believe I have values and qualities that may compensate the shortfall.

Although I remind myself many times not to sound cliche while drafting this, I cannot help but to say that if I was chosen, it would be a dream come true (and the day pigs fly, at least in my own mind!).

I have always been a wishful soul. I have always wished for a job (or a chance) that would require me to travel the world. Last year, around this time, I discovered the World Nomads scholarships. Due to work commitments, I failed to take the first step (by at least trying) in materializing my wish. I missed the scholarship application and this year I am making it a point to make up for the missed chance.

Being wishful normally leads to the end of a road. However, if being wishful is coupled with a fierce drive, which I believe is a quality I possess, the impossible may be made possible.

I have so much more to say to try to convince you why I should be chosen. But no matter what I thought of boasting about myself, it all comes down to only this - that I am in love with the world and I hope that the love is shown through my photos.
