This scholarship program is important to my family and me because my mom won't have to pay the whole tuition. She usually pays bills, buys food, tp and shampoo with her money. I'm glad we found out about this program so it can really help us out.

I'm glad we have a choice to pick between public and private schools. I'm glad we aren't being pushed to go to a public school where you can always be scared to get shot in school, where you get pushed into doing drugs. I'm glad we can go to a private school and feel safe and not have peer pressure.

In private schools, you can work ahead and graduate earlier. Teachers can actually take you aside and help you instead of having 20-30 people wanting help at the same time. In private schools, there is no talking when it's time to get back to work. In public schools, teachers try their hardest to quiet the kids down.

In private schools, the discipline is better. In private schools, you can learn Bible scriptures and have chapel. In public schools, Jesus isn't allowed in.

This program is important to me because in public schools, you get made fun of if you are a Christian and private schools are mostly made in churches where you call yourself a Christian.

I'm glad this program was made up or tons of people would be going to a public school and probably would be doing drugs and all kinds of bad stuff. I thank God that this program is here to help out!!!
