I got a chance at a $10,000 scholarship from my high school and I need to write a two one-page responses to two questions.

Can it all be one paragraph? Are they looking for an introduction, body, etc... and things like a thesis and supporting sentences (ala EVERY english essay I've had to write throughout high school) or do they not care about things like that and I could just ramble on about whatever the question is? I know no one can specifically answer it but if anyone else has done these please comment.

you're going to condense 2 pages into 1 paragraph? you better hope your 1 paragraph is impressively profound.

btw, what's the question?

Well I dunno... I tend to ramble on and stuff and it's like one paragraph. I mean maybe I'm not the greatest writer but unless I'm writing some cookie cutter english essay I have a hard time actually combining things into paragraphs with smooth transitions and all to the next idea.

Questions are:
1) As we look at the world today in all its turmoil, what career choices will you make and what positive impact can you foresee in the future?
2) Why do you think you deserve the ___ scholarship and how will you give back to your community in the future?

They are teh suck!
