Hi! My name is Nicholas and I am an upcoming freshman at Northwest University in Washington State. It has been a dream of mine to go to this school ever since I first decided to become a youth pastor during the summer between my freshman and sophomore year in high school.  I intend to major in youth ministries at school.

The best part about going to college is not having to pay for it! How you ask? Well last winter I applied for the Act Six Scholarship which is for students who are leaders and want to learn how to be a leader through the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Sounds easy right? Well it took a lot of hard work and time, as do all scholarships. Even through the summer, work is required, what I mean by this is meetings every Tuesday and plenty of homework. Yet it is the least I can do, I mean this foundation is paying my way through college and all they ask is that I do the work and make a lasting impact on my community.

Enough about me, I am here to share ideas with you guys on how to get prepared and through college and don’t worry I’ll be trying to do the same thing myself.

Thanks for reading the blog!
