BRAG SHEET

A brag sheet is used to write information about yourself that can be given to a staff member (teacher, counselor, etc), coach, club advisor, or employer when asking for a letter of recommendation.

• Download this form to your desktop, save, then complete and save again.
• Be as specific as possible.
• Save this document so you can go back to it and update it as often as necessary and print copies when needed.
• Make sure you give those you want recommendations from plenty of time to complete their letters, at least 2 weeks in advance.
• Ask them to save their recommendations for you so you may ask them for an updated reference letter in the future.

You can also find a Brag Sheet Survey in your PowerSchool/Naviance, under the About Me tab, then Surveys. 

(Note: Beginning your Brag Sheet in 9th grade and updating it each time you have a new activity, sport or receive an award helps, because when you're a senior filling out the form for the first time, it's hard to remember all those things!)

O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN SCHOLARSHIP SLAM

ADD YOUR POEM

HOW DOES $1,000 FOR COLLEGE SOUND? THOUGHT SO. KEEP READING TO FIND OUT HOW TO WIN.

 

You've definitely had a mentor — someone or something that has affected your personal development. Mentors aren't just limited to people — there are abstract concepts and ideas that shape you every day. Now we're giving you the chance to say thank you and let this person or thing know how much they've impacted your life.

Who or what has had the greatest influence/impact on your life?

We can learn from anything, anywhere at any time. People, objects, and experiences — like coaches, parents, close friends, comics, movies, or favorite books — can seriously impact us. But so can concepts and ideas like love, fear, acceptance, depression, anger, and guilt. A mentor can also be something that you're passionate about, that's taught you more about yourself and/or the world around you. What does your mentor mean to you? How have these people or topics shaped you into the person you are today? Write a poem thanking the greatest influencer in your life for your chance to win.

Note: This is a sweepstakes scholarship. That means a winner will be chosen from a random drawing.

 

ELIGIBILITY

1. The basic requirements are this: (1) you are 25 years of age (or younger), and (2) you are a current or former high school student who will attend or is attending college within the U.S. or its territories.
2. Add an original poem to Power Poetry by Thursday, October 25, 2018. You'll need to register as a member of the Power Poetry community first.
