I wanted to post here the information for those who want to check out the Amancio Ortega scholarships. There is something new this year. Instead of 100 students going to Canada for a whole year, they will be 200. A hundred of them will go to the USA, and the other hundred to Canada.
From my point of view, obviously, this is not fair for me, because if the last year it had been 200 scholarships, maybe I wouldn't be here right now...
That's a negative fact, I think but on the other hand, I wanted to cheer the younger students up to try to get it. It's a great opportunity. At the beginning it could be hard but, trust me, it worths the effort. It's just a year, and you are going to live more than a year. Please, do not think that's a lost year, because that's not true. You develop your abilities related to English but you learn to live in a new environment, to introduce you into new people. Just try to sign up and if you get the scholarship and then you think you can't do it, renounce, because you will be free to do it. But if you don't try, you will never know if you were able...
It's totally free, you won't have to pay, so... what else can you ask for?
You have until February 9th to sign up. And stop being worried about your marks, if they could be better, or income tax, because once they have your "curriculum" they don't choose the participants by looking their money or selecting the highest marks (but you need 7.5 total average, and 8 in English)
Don't waste this chance or you will be sorry.
