GENERAL ACCIDENT SCHOLARS

What was it like converting from College to the UWI and why did you choose UWI? It was not hard for me to move from College to UWI.

Kayla was born in St. Andrews and moved to I am currently pursuing my degree in Geology.

Who is your mentor and why? I have three (3) major mentors: My mother, grandmother & Barack Obama. My mother because she is such a talented person and keeps trying at what she does best; she never allows a bad situation to get the best of her and she always encourages me to do my best and finish everything that I start. My grandmother because she was very hospitable and loved to teach her skills to anyone that was interested or willing to learn. She was always there for me.every time I went home form high school or UWI grandma was there and always had something positive to say. Her favorite line to everyone was Keep the faith, trust God & always pray Barack Obama because I would one day like to be able to speak and influence people.he is a very charismatic leader and when he speaks it gives you hope of a better future. What is it like academically and socially attending the UWI? Academically: challenging! You have to keep at it, try never to give up or let low grades pull you back. You have to keep fighting to stay above the work load proper time management will help in that regard. Even though it is hard when you get a good grade you feel like you are on top of the world because you know you worked hard for it and deserved it. Learning is fun once you understand what is being taught; but one thing everyone should know is, at UWI, you have to READ for your degree. Lecturers are not going to tell or give you everything. And the more knowledge you can gain on your own, the better the impression you can make on your exam or thesis papers. Socially: interesting & educational! There are so many different cultures at UWI that every day you learn something or meet someone new. Living on the largest hall also added to this experience. Outside of academic it has helped me develop skills that I never thought I would have. Planning an event is hard especially if you have to cater for close to 900 people, but at the end when everything comes together you have a feeling of accomplishment that leaves you on a highespecially if the event was a success.

something practical that could be applied to living in Jamaica.Disaster Management is one that I think of everyday even though I would like to have my masters in Oceanography. What are your hobbies? Reading (love to read), watching football (Real Madrid is my team), listening to music (every genre that you can think of), baking (second profession) and swimming (recreational) Why did you apply for the General Accident Scholarship? I saw the opportunity. When I got the email to pass along to other residents of my hall and after I did, I thought why not?! After applying it made me think of the employment possibilities with insurance companies. What is your opinion of the donor General Accident? The company is very dynamic, growing fast, becoming a popular household name in Jamaica (I got my mother to switch her insurance company to General Accident) and they are doing more than providing in the business sector but also helping with the development of the country on a holistic level. What would you do if you are given one million dollars? First pay off my Student Loan and any loan outstanding for my mother and whatever is left invest it in my personal dream of owning a Caf. What advice do you have for students or other individuals looking to pursue similar goals? Go after your goal, financially it may be difficult but dont allow that to stop you. The aim is to educate yourself so you make yourself marketable to other companies or investors. There are MANY scholarships in Jamaica. Do not only go for the popular ones because the probability of you getting that scholarship may be very small. Apply for everyone that you see, even if you believe your GPA does not fit the requirement..nothing beats a trial but a failure!

What are your future goals after completing your rst de-gree? I would like to gain local experience in my field (Geology), so I always wanted to work on a projectany kind of project that is geologically or environmentally Interviewed & Composed by: related.

best. And like many others, prizes or rewards motivate me. Whether it is an extrinsic reward that others can see such as: being able to attain a spot on the Deans List or becoming valedictorian, or an intrinsic reward such as: learning in the classroom so that you are better able to help your country, rewards help to motivate. Who is your mentor and why? My mentor would be Mr. Lucien Reid. He is a teacher at Meadowbrook High School and an elder at the Meadowbrook United Church. While I was attending Meadowbrook High, he would always encourage me to take on leadership roles. He took an interest in me then, and even now, he still advises me in making important decisions. Furthermore, he supports me through prayer and helps me in my walk as a Christian. He is an exceptional mentor who upholds high moral value, sets a good example for young men everywhere and encourages me to do my absolute best, always putting God first. What is it like academically and socially attending the UWI? The UWI is filled with brilliant teachers and students. This often promotes an academically competitive atmosphere. Nonetheless, there are many teachers and students who are willing to help you achieve your goals. Moreover, at UWI, there are students from across a wide region, not just locally but internationally. This allows students to learn about other cultures and become even more rounded as individuals about to enter the working world. What are your future goals after your rst degree? After completing my first degree, I plan to do one of two things. Either work in the field of actuarial science while finishing my actuarial science exams, or, with the help of a scholarship, go abroad to complete a masters degree, while doing my actuarial science exams. What are your hobbies? I enjoy playing sports such as: basketball and football, and instruments such as: the drum, piano and bass guitar. I also enjoy spending time with friends, like watching a good game of dominoes. Why did you apply for the General Accident Scholarship? I applied for the General Accident Scholarship because I was in need of financial assistance. Upon examining the criteria of the scholarship, I realized that I had met them and with the hope of being awarded the scholarship, I applied.

What is your opinion of the donor General Accident? General Accident is an excellent company! They clearly understand the importance of education and have been giving back to Jamaican youth more in recent times through Next Move Jamaica. They not only care about Jamaicas present, by providing quality competitive products with excellent service, but also the future, by supporting youths education. What would you do if you are given one million dollars? If I were awarded one million Jamaican dollars, the first thing I would do would be to repay the Students Loan Bureau. However, if this debt did not exist, I would use some of the funds to aid in the development of my high school, Meadowbrook High. I believe that education is an integral ingredient to any successful recipe for Jamaican difficulties, and as such, funds would have to be diverted to this area. I would also love to develop more structured shelters for the homeless. Far too many homeless individuals are seen on the streets destitute, with nowhere to go. Even in the recent Hurricane Sandy, many of them stayed outside in the midst of heavy rains, strong winds and debris. With more shelters that not only provide a place to stay and food to eat, but also education, so that the homeless can be empowered to stand on their own, I believe that this country will be a better place. What advice do you have for students or other individuals looking to pursue similar goals? Find something that you both enjoy doing and do well. Before thinking about what career pays the most, think about what you enjoy doing and what you do best. Then try to identify a career in that field that will compensate you for your work. You will find that doing something that you love and are good at, can be far more rewarding than simply doing a job that pays. Also, having found a career you would like to pursue, ascertain information about that career from persons in that field. It is good to know exactly what you are striving for and what it is you can expect. Moreover, be focused and diligent. Along with hard work and commitment, you will need these characteristics to achieve your goal. Last, but by no means least, include God in all your plans. Put Him first, for it is by Him that you will achieve success and accomplish your goals. Interviewed & Composed by: Chris A. Grant

Scholarship Tip # 2:
Dont Apply to Every Scholarship It might make sense to apply to every scholarship that comes your way but consider our advice to apply only to a few scholarships. This will not only save you time and effort but also help you improve your chances in getting a scholarship. This advice follows the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 Rule. Applying this principle in scholarship application, it is wise to apply only to 20% of available scholarships that would give you 80% chance of success. As a Jamaican student, looking for a first year undergraduate scholarship in Engineering at the University of Technology, Jamaica. After your extensive search on Nextmoveja.com and through other sources, you were able to find 26 scholarships that are available for Jamaicans in that faculty. Following the advice above, you will try to focus on applying to 5-8 scholarships that gives you higher chances of success. The question now is, how do you pick the scholarships you should apply to? This question can be answered by considering the following criteria: Which among the 26 scholarships you found are specifically targeted to first year Jamaican students? Which among the 26 scholarships are aligned to your qualifications? Which among the 26 scholarships prioritize the study programme you are applying for? The ideal scholarship you are looking for is a scholarship program that is targeted specifically to Jamaicans, whose eligibility requirements matches your qualifications, and if possible, whose priority programs include first year undergraduate students. Applying to a scholarship that is matched to your citizenship, qualifications, and interests generally gives you better chances. As well, applying only to a few scholarships gives you more time to make a great scholarship application letter, complete all your application requirements, and submit your application on time. This advice is not meant to be a rule; you are always free to apply to more scholarships as you wish if you would think it would increase your chances. The general advice is to make sure you are applying for scholarships that are matched to you and not just any scholarship that presents itself.
