  1. Oh wow! Scholarship is a great thing for sure! When I was little I would always dream of getting scholarship. When I grew up, I realized that it is much harder than I thought it would be. I was really lazy, plus English was not my first language, so it was ok for me to apply to essay writing service reviews sites. But even without scholarship I graduated and now I have a well-paid job. Still, it would have been great for sure.
