Bio

My name is Lukas McGill and I am in my first year at Dunwoody School of Technology. I graduated from high school in the spring with a 3.3 grade point average. I am pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands and love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I am an extremely hard worker who has a goal to run my own small business someday. I have worked at a local farm since I was 12 years old and have learned the value of hard work and strong moral character. I have also been involved in team extracurricular activities like football, hockey, trapshooting and baseball. I am a very good student and take my studies seriously. I appreciate any consideration given to my application.

    My name is Lukas McGill and I am in my first year at Dunwoody School of Technology. I graduated from high school with a 3.3 grade point average. I am pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands and love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. The school I am attending is extremely expensive and would require me to take out many loans but I feel it is worth it to get the best education. I began working when I was twelve. I currently work two jobs and did so in high school in addition to playing four sports and volunteering by helping elderly neighbors with outdoor chores. I began my working career by assisting with groundskeeping at local residences. This position taught me valuable skills such as being on time and doing a thorough and quality job. When I was thirteen, my teacher approached me about working on her family’s cattle farm. I have been working there ever since. Since it is a small family farm, I earn much less than I could earn at other jobs. I continue to work at the farm because I enjoy working hard, caring for the 300 cattle, baling hay and general caretaking of a farm. The farmer I work for has taught me the value of hard work, problem-solving, being responsible and generally how to be a good and humble person. An example of my work ethic and level of responsibility would be when the farmer left the country for two weeks and trusted his family’s livelihood, their farm, to me. I successfully managed the entire farm and animals. I work every Saturday throughout the year in the rain, heat, and snow and never call in sick. I use my problem-solving skills every day at work. You never know what the animals are going to do and I never know what the farmer will have planned for me each day. Sometimes we are mending fences, sometimes we are tending to sick animals, sometimes we are cleaning the stalls and sometimes a cow gets loose. Now that requires quick thinking, problem-solving and fast feet. I also work at a store display company. I have learned how to use power tools, read blueprints and how to work on a team. This experience has prepared me to work in the trades by giving my real-world experience in a successful shop environment. My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. I also enjoy helping my grandmother with all kinds of chores. We lost my grandfather a few years ago to pancreatic cancer so she needs a lot of help with outside chores like mowing and shoveling to various repairs around her home. I am applying for this scholarship because I feel I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character. I would like to eventually have my own business and mentor other individuals within the trades. I would be very thankful to receive this scholarship. Thank you for considering me.

When I was thirteen, my teacher approached me about working on her family’s cattle farm. I have been working there ever since. Since it is a small family farm, I earn much less than I could earn at other jobs. I continue to work at the farm because I enjoy working hard, caring for the 300 cattle, baling hay and general caretaking of a farm. The farmer I work for has taught me the value of hard work, problem-solving, being responsible and generally how to be a good and humble person. An example of my work ethic and level of responsibility would be when the farmer left the country for two weeks and trusted his family’s livelihood, their farm, to me. I successfully managed the entire farm and animals. I work every Saturday throughout the year in the rain, heat, and snow and never call in sick. I use my problem-solving skills every day at work. You never know what the animals are going to do and I never know what the farmer will have planned for me each day. Sometimes we are mending fences, sometimes we are tending to sick animals, sometimes we are cleaning the stalls and sometimes a cow gets loose. Now that requires quick thinking, problem-solving and fast feet. In the summers, I work at a store display company. I have learned how to use power tools, read blueprints and how to work on a team. This experience has prepared me to work in the trades by giving my real-world experience in a successful shop environment. My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. I also enjoy helping my grandmother with all kinds of chores. We lost my grandfather a few years ago to pancreatic cancer so she needs a lot of help with outside chores like mowing and shoveling to various repairs around her home. I am applying for this scholarship because I feel I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character. I would like to eventually have my own business and mentor other individuals within the trades. I would be very thankful to receive this scholarship. Thank you for considering me.

    Winner
    My name is Lukas McGill and I am starting my first year at Dunwoody School of Technology this fall. I graduated in the spring with a 3.3 grade point average. I am pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands and love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I have spoken to many electrical companies near my home and have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I job shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. The school I am attending, Dunwoody School of Technology in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is extremely expensive and would require me to take out many loans but I feel it is worth it to get the best education.

    Grandmaster Nam K Hyong Scholarship
    My name is Lukas McGill and I recently graduated from high school with a 3.3 grade point average. I am interested in pursuing a degree in the trades, specifically electrical construction. I am very interested in the trades because I enjoy working with my hands. I love to problem-solve and see the finished product. I continue to push myself to learn new technical skills both in my employment and in my personal life. I have recently begun working on boat engines and love the challenge. I have spoken to many electrical companies near my home and have shadowed electricians to observe their work. One business owner and electrician I job shadowed said "it is refreshing to meet a young man with confidence and a strong work ethic". He was impressed with my maturity and level of responsibility. I have toured and been accepted into several trade schools. The school I am attending is Dunwoody School of Technology. This school is extremely expensive and would require me to take out many loans since my parents are unable to help me with tuition expenses. I feel it is worth it to get the best education. I began working when I was twelve years old. I currently work two jobs in addition to playing four sports and volunteering by helping elderly neighbors with outdoor chores.

My supervisor would tell you that I work hard, I am willing to learn, and I do my best every day. I have used the skills I have learned at this job at home by finishing my bedroom in the basement of my parents home. It was an unfinished room that we framed, sheet rocked, painted and finished. It was a challenge but one that taught me a lot. I enjoy helping my grandmother with all kinds of chores. We lost my grandfather a few years ago to pancreatic cancer so she needs a lot of help with outside chores like mowing and shoveling to various repairs around her home. These tasks allow me to spend quality time with her. In eighth grade, I was honored to receive the Certificate of Distinguished Achievement Award by the American Legion Post 121. It recognizes the possession of the qualities of courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service. I was nominated by my teachers and principal. I am applying for this scholarship because I feel I would be a good steward of the money for my education. I am motivated to finish my schooling and know that I will be successful in my trade because I am a hard worker and have a good moral character. I would like to eventually have my own business and mentor other individuals within the trades. I believe it is so important to give back to others as others have helped me along the way. I have had such wonderful mentors such as my current boss on the farm and would hope to be able to return the kindness that was shown to me. I would be very thankful to receive this scholarship. Thank you for considering me.
