How to Make My Scholarship Essay “pop”?
Question by Derek: How to make my scholarship essay “pop”?
I am going to start a scholarship essay for “alert Magazine” and I need a way to make the first lines really stand out. The topic is supposed to be about substance abuse prevention, I guess what normal people like me and you could do to help prevent it. Any ideas?
