I would like to discuss the news when I got scholarship in my university because me and my sister and brother were at the same time in the university and it was really hard for my brother to manage the expense of my students after our studies at the same time because we three of the sisters were at the university and two were at school at the same time. So my brother and brother really are worried about how he will be able to manage all the expenses with the education of ours. There was an opportunity in our university about where you can get, where you can have to give the test and then 70% of your fees will be paid by the university for semester. So I was really excited about that time about this. I think to be test-held I spent so much time preparing for this test and for interview. So when I was on the day of the test I was really nervous about how I am going to do it because that thing was really a thing of matter for me. I did pretty good at the test and that in the interview I had to wait for a week for the result because my faculty were also my class fellows and from other departments as well. So I was kind of nervous about either I will be able to be accomplished at the thing and I will be in the merit list and after a week when the merit list was displayed I was really happy to see my name. That thing was really special for me because of that scholarship I was able to complete my education and my father was not as much burdened as we were before because I was managing my university fee and my expenses by my student body scholarship and hard-cut. So this is special thing for me.

I would like to discuss the time when I received news about a scholarship at my university. My sister, brother, and I were all attending university at the same time, and it was really hard for my brother to manage the expenses of our education since all three of us were in university while two were still in school. My brother was really worried about how he would be able to manage all the expenses related to our education. There was an opportunity at our university where you could take a test, and if you passed, 70% of your fees would be covered by the university for the semester. I was really excited about this opportunity. I spent a lot of time preparing for the test and the interview. On the day of the test, I was really nervous about how I would perform because this was very important to me. I did pretty well on the test, and after the interview, I had to wait a week for the results. My faculty members were also my classmates, and there were students from other departments as well, so I was quite anxious about whether I would make it onto the merit list. After a week, when the merit list was displayed, I was overjoyed to see my name. This news was really special for me because, with that scholarship, I was able to complete my education, and my father was not as burdened as he had been before. I was managing my university fees and expenses through my student body scholarship and hard work. This is a special achievement for me.
