I believe I should receive the Blake Schmaltz Memorial Scholarship for many reasons. I have worked very hard throughout my high school career in order to maintain excellent grades. My freshman year of highschool I earned all A’s and B’s, since freshman year I have consistently earned all A’s. I have also taken college level courses such as Zoology, Precalculus, Calculus, Early Childhood Education, and English 111/112. I will be able to transfer the credits I have received from these classes to college making it possible for me to test out of those classes, and begin with the next level class. Throughout high school I have been involved in various clubs and afterschool activities. I am a part of the National Honor Society, Sunshine Society,
