The Scott Cooper Miami Scholarship is unique in the sense that it requires students to write essays that are thought-provoking and controversial.
MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, April 26, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Scott Cooper Miami Scholarship just announced its newest opportunity. Students are required to submit an essay by May 30, 2022, on one of the following topics:
Elon Musk and Twitter
Elon Musk struck a deal on Monday to buy Twitter for roughly $44 billion, in a victory by the world’s richest man to take over the influential social network frequented by world leaders, celebrities, and cultural trendsetters. “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Mr. Musk said in a statement announcing the deal. “Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.” The blockbuster agreement caps what had seemed an improbable attempt by the famously mercurial Mr. Musk, 50, to buy the social media company — and immediately raises questions about what he will do with the platform and how his actions will affect online speech globally.
The Ukraine War:
Vladimir Lenin once remarked that “there are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” The world is living such weeks right now. The challenge is to make sense of what those changes will bring. A few questions to ponder: 1) How will the war end? 2) Will transatlantic unity last? 3) What is China thinking? 4)Are we prepared for what comes after the war?

EDWARD MICKLOS – Arctic Deposits of Oil and Natural Gas Should Be Exploited to Support the United State’s Interests – I was born and raised in Wisconsin, giving me an affinity for cold, winter weather. However, since I was ten years old, I have been taking care of my mother. She has been afflicted by multiple sclerosis, a disease that has damaged over a quarter of her brain. Despite this, I pushed myself in high school and took a dozen AP tests, earned a welding certification, and served as a teacher's assistant. All of that happened during the school day. At home, I would do my homework, cook meals, clean, and perform other household chores. However, I want to make a difference beyond my home and the local community. I am pursuing my bachelor's degree in Global Security and Intelligence Studies at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where I intend to graduate a year ahead of my cohort. I am specializing in Eastern Europe and Russia, which includes learning the Russian language. After graduation, I intend to serve my country in the intelligence community, further supporting the United States armed forces and decision-makers with the expertise I am developing in foreign affairs and military capabilities.

I graduated high school from Mother of Divine Grace School, which is an online distance learning school based in Ojai, California.
