1. Uraian Materi

A popular scholarship essay prompt is “Tell us about yourself.” This question is

relatively open-ended, which may make it difficult to answer at first glance. What should I
tell them about myself? My struggles, my goals, my passions…? These may all be fitting
topics, depending on the scholarship. We’ll show you some scholarship essay examples
about yourself, along with writing tips to guide you along the way.
Prompt esai beasiswa populer adalah "Ceritakan tentang diri Anda." Pertanyaan ini
relatif terbuka, yang mungkin menyulitkan untuk dijawab sekilas. Apa yang harus saya
ceritakan tentang diri saya? Perjuangan saya, tujuan saya, hasrat saya ...? Ini semua
mungkin topik yang cocok, tergantung pada beasiswa. Berikut beberapa contoh esai
beasiswa tentang diri Anda, bersama dengan tips menulis untuk memandu Anda.

What They Want to Know about You

As you prepare to write, think of the topics the scholarship committee would be interested
in. These may include:
Apa yang Mereka Ingin Tahu tentang Anda
Saat Anda bersiap untuk menulis, pikirkan topik-topik yang akan diminati oleh komite
beasiswa. Ini mungkin termasuk:

Your current degree, as it applies to your overall career goals. You can explain why you
chose your current educational path and what you want to do with that.
Gelar Anda saat ini (kelas berapa), karena itu berlaku untuk tujuan karir Anda secara
keseluruhan. Anda dapat menjelaskan mengapa Anda memilih jalur pendidikan Anda saat
ini dan apa yang ingin Anda lakukan dengan itu.

Your short-term and long-term professional goals. Frame your answer as if to say “Where
will you be in 5 years? Where will you be in 10 years?” Scholarship committees like to
reward people with defined aspirations.
Tujuan profesional jangka pendek dan jangka panjang Anda. Kerangka jawaban Anda
seolah-olah mengatakan "Di mana Anda akan berada dalam 5 tahun? Di mana Anda
berada dalam 10 tahun? " Komite beasiswa suka memberi penghargaan kepada orang-
orang dengan aspirasi yang jelas.
Past experiences that sparked your passions. You could talk about an influential person
in your life, but make sure most of the essay focuses on you. After all, you are talking about
yourself.
Pengalaman masa lalu yang memicu gairah Anda. Anda dapat berbicara tentang orang
yang berpengaruh dalam hidup Anda, tetapi pastikan sebagian besar esai berfokus pada
Anda. Bagaimanapun, Anda berbicara tentang diri Anda sendiri.

Something unique that sets you apart from other applicants. This may be volunteer
experience, career specialties, situational differences (growing up in an area that didn’t
encourage education), etc.
Sesuatu yang unik yang membedakan Anda dari pelamar lain. Ini mungkin pengalaman
sukarela, spesialisasi karier, perbedaan situasional (tumbuh di daerah yang tidak
mendorong pendidikan), dll.

What They Don’t Want to Know about You

There is plenty of information you could include in an about yourself scholarship essay.
There is just as much information to avoid though. Some topics to keep out of your essay
include:
Apa yang Mereka Tidak Ingin Tahu tentang Anda
Ada banyak informasi yang dapat Anda sertakan dalam esai tentang beasiswa diri Anda.
Ada banyak informasi yang harus dihindari. Beberapa topik yang harus dihindari dari
esai Anda meliputi:

False information. Do not make up stories or fabricate goals to fit the prompt. The
scholarship committee can instantly tell when someone is lying, and they will disqualify
you immediately.
Informasi yang salah. Jangan mengarang cerita atau mengarang gol agar sesuai dengan
permintaan. Komite beasiswa dapat langsung memberi tahu kapan seseorang berbohong,
dan mereka akan segera mendiskualifikasi Anda.

Past struggles that do not pertain to the essay topic. You can briefly mention struggles
from your past, as long as you mention how you’ve learned from them. Do not make your
essay a long story about the hard life you’ve led. Focus on your triumphs, not your
obstacles.
Perjuangan masa lalu yang tidak berkaitan dengan topik esai. Anda dapat menyebutkan
secara singkat perjuangan dari masa lalu Anda, selama Anda menyebutkan bagaimana
Anda telah belajar dari mereka. Jangan buat esai Anda cerita panjang tentang kehidupan
keras yang Anda jalani. Fokuslah pada kemenangan Anda, bukan hambatan Anda.

Vague goals and aspirations. Scholarships are usually given to students who have a plan.
If you say, “I’m not sure what I’m doing yet,” the committee will select a more motivated
candidate. If you have a plan and a backup plan, that’s fine. Just make sure you mention
both options and show which one you favor.
Tujuan dan aspirasi yang tidak jelas. Beasiswa biasanya diberikan kepada siswa yang
memiliki rencana. Jika Anda berkata, "Saya belum yakin apa yang sedang saya lakukan,"
panitia akan memilih kandidat yang lebih termotivasi. Jika Anda memiliki paket dan
rencana cadangan, itu tidak masalah. Pastikan Anda menyebutkan kedua opsi dan
menunjukkan yang mana yang Anda sukai.
Medium Scholarship Essay Example: Tell Us about Yourself (250 Words)
With a mid-length scholarship essay, you have more space to explain how your past
has influenced your present and future goals. You should have room for an intro
paragraph, a few body paragraphs, and a conclusion (maybe incorporated into the last
body paragraph). Think of a few main points you want to touch on, and write those down
first. If you still have room, you can add more details about yourself.

My name is Sarah, and I spent the better part of my childhood on the wrong medication.
I am a survivor of a common problem in clinical psychology – misdiagnosis. From
antiquated testing methods to limited education, there are many reasons why
professionals provide inaccurate diagnoses. I want to help change that. Therefore, I am
pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychology so I can open my own psychological testing
facility.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child because I had trouble focusing in school. My
doctor prescribed medication to improve my symptoms, but all it did was make me numb
to the world around me. I couldn’t think or process emotions, and most of the time, I had
no emotions at all. I went through this for several years until my parents finally decided to
get a second opinion.
They took me to someone who specialized in psychological testing for children. Her
evaluation showed that I didn’t have ADHD at all, just a combination of dyslexia and
dysgraphia (difficulties with reading and writing). She put us in touch with a therapist who
helped me learn how to work around my conditions, and my life improved tremendously. I
went from being a lifeless student with barely passing grades to an honor roll student full
of joy and excitement.
Unfortunately, my story is not one of a kind. There are countless children in America
who are put on mind-altering medications that do not adequately address their needs. I
cannot help all of those children, but I can provide a better alternative for the ones in my
area. Through proper education, funded by financial aid, I can learn about psychological
evaluations and provide the most accurate diagnoses possible.
