I'm in Week Two, how about you?

an artist's brain

I like my survey of graphic design class so far. My assignment this week is to design a logo for myself. So I'm working a few ideas.

Right now what I'm working on is an essay of sorts for a scholarship worth $1000 and I need some help coming up with a few more points.

The topic is "Top ten reasons I should have this scholarship"

Here is what I have so far (in no particular order)

1. my GI Bill has expired and I need money for books and art supplies.
2. There are almost no scholarships for art students.
3. There are absolutely no scholarships for normal, healthy, average white girls who figured out late in life what they want to be when they grow up.
4. Art is important for imagination. It makes all aspects of thought possible.
5. I am the only one in my family to attend college and I want to set a good example for my niece and nephew
6. Since I'm not part of any ethnic/ religious/ heritage group, any slim chance of a scholarship I qualify for, so does everyone in those groups, which slims my chances even more.
7. ??
8. ??
9. ??
10. ??

I need four more good ones....so, whattya say? Can you help a poor art student? Pretty please with pudding on top?

oh, I just thought of one: I missed the scholarship for tall girls by one inch!

Here's a couple for your consideration:

1) If I don't get this scholarship, the terrorists win.
2) Being a non-traditional student, I missed out on other (traditional) scholarship opportunities.

I like the second one, it really is true, a lot of scholarships I find are for high school seniors.
