I was recently selected as a Global Scholar for the GYLC program (Global Young Leaders Conference) that gives me an opportunity to represent my school and my country at this globally acclaimed event.
 As cited in my letter, it places me among a group of top students across the world. Currently I do not have enough funds to attend this convention as my mother is a single working parent, but I don't want to miss this wonderful opportunity of participating in the conference and getting 2 college credits from George Mason University which can help me towards my college degree.
