Scholarship Application: Albert Halkjaer

Application for Maritzburg Grammar School, Cape Town, South Africa

Hello, my name is Albert Halkjaer. I would like to introduce myself and explain why I should be chosen to have a school year in South Africa. Well, I've always loved the African culture! It's so unique. I am original one fourth German and I speak fluent English. A school year in Africa is something I've always wanted. Just seeing how the people and nature is there whilst studying would be the time of my life. I've never studied African culture before so it would be great to learn about it. I spend my time being a football trainer in Denmark. I feel happy when I’m helping kids to be better at football, but I also just like to help in general. I have a lovely family who wants this for me just as badly as I do. If I get chosen to be an exchange student there I will definitely do my best to help in any way possible. Education has always been one of my biggest priorities. I'm a student whom gets good grades and is a quick learner. I am hoping to learn from not only school but from the students there. I guess you can say that I work really hard for my goals. I started out living in a normal family but I didn’t get good grades then I told myself to do better and I did. My parents have good educations and they make good money. I have to earn a lot of money so I can have a nice house and car. I’ve always loved cars. I have these games with my father, where we look at cars, and tell the other person what the make of the car is and which model it is. My father has a nice car it’s a BMW 5 series and that is his dream car, and he worked hard for it. That’s just a proof to me that hard work pays off. I’m hoping you will consider my application. It would mean the world to me and I promise you will not be disappointed.
