Starting in 2012 as a Value Added Reseller for Data Cash Register in Nashville TN, I worked my way up from a bench technician, to an installer, and ultimately to the Director of Hospitality. At the end of 2023, I decided to move from the Reseller world and into the Software Vendor world with OrderCounter. I can directly correlate my professional success to the time I’ve dedicated to the RSPA. With the NextGen community, the under 40 rising stars, and all the education streams available to members, I know I will be just one of many success stories from this community. I have an overwhelming need to give back to the community that has given me so much.

Recaptcha Test
Each applicant is required to submit a Scholarship Application Essay. This is a two-page, double-spaced paper, which cannot be handwritten. Submit your essay by uploading a text file with your other materials.
Please choose one of the following topics below for your essay:
- Your job is to write a persuasive essay. Take a position on an issue of your choice; it could be of global importance or a personal problem. For example, you could discuss the immigration problem, your desire to get your parents’ permission to do something they don’t want you to do, or reasons why you need a raise. The important part is that you must state your case while keeping in mind what your audience thinks. In other words, you need to disprove their arguments. Prove that you are right, and “they” are wrong.
- Regardless of politics, we can all agree that we need to be kind to the earth. Discuss ways we can address this problem either personally, as a group or as a country. If you don’t believe there is a problem, take that position and explain and defend your opinion.
TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR ESSAY SUBMISSION:
The essay should show original and serious thinking on the part of the applicant and should demonstrate the applicant’s ability to express those thoughts clearly and accurately. A third page may be added to cite sources if quotes, purported facts, etc. are used. The essay should be coherent; it should have a clear beginning, middle and end. Begin by introducing the topic and set forth the boundaries of the subject. Do not be vague or too expansive. Instead, be specific and well-disciplined. You may want to follow these steps in preparing your essay:
Outline your essay. Write a rough draft and review it by asking yourself such questions as: Is it clear? Are questions raised by this essay left unanswered? Is the topic clearly defined? Are the ideas well developed? Are the ideas concrete?
Finalize your essay, asking yourself these questions: Is this precise or too general? Is it concise or does it ramble? Have I used grammar properly? Is this essay persuasive? Are the quotes accurate? Are the facts valid? Are my thoughts and conclusions well organized?
