Cinderella by Chaniya - October 2025 Scholarship Essay
As someone whom is an avid reader, I have learned at least two lessons per book, if not more. Although there are many books to choose from, I would like to point out Cinderella. This book is a classic that many know and have grew upon. In Cinderella, she had so much hope instilled inside of her, and every time she was let down she could have backed up and just given up, she didn't. As I have been growing into adulthood, the lessons of staying true to my word, having courage, and taking choices are things that I practice to embody everyday. From this book as a child, i thought it was very meaningless, but as an adult I carry these important characteristics with me everywhere I go. Although these are some of lessons I remember daily, one lesson that I remembered when I was going through a difficult time in my life was about inner beauty and self-worth. When Cinderella was going through everything with the mother and getting treated badly by her siblings, she kept faith within herself and it shown that had she very strong self-worth and her inner beauty. During some hardships that I have had, it was difficult for me to stay focus and to keep that underlining faith.
