At this day and age where everything is technically plausible, one cannot hinder his or herself to succumb to all the temptations that are scattered in his or her environment.
In the broadest sense, a fraud is a deception made for personal gain. Probably, that old age “By hook or by crook” best exemplifies this act but then again, morality prevails – the means doesn’t always justify the end.
It is quite surprising and depressing to note that most fraudsters are professionals since older, more educated persons tend to occupy such higher positions and authority. This affects the future workforce of the country and this is where fraud awareness takes its cue.
Fraud awareness tends to deter the excessive deceptions made by just about employees. It would truly affect one’s career development because this would make him a holistic person – in such a manner that one truly knows what is right from what is wrong.
As one of the future workforces of the country, I dream to make it big, just like everybody else does, and I know that it is this path that will lead me to the attainment of my dreams. Out of the thousands who will be submitting in their essays, I deserve the scholarship because this scholarship will fuel my ambitions.
Quality education paves the way of a bigger, better and a brighter future and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila offers it. The university doesn’t only instill these theories into our minds but it also molds us to be better, competitive and decent professionals in the future. PLM gives us an insight of what awaits us in the real corporate world and definitely, being fraud is not one of them. Fraud is such a big nono in our daytoday discussions and it is implanted in our minds day in and day out – not in business terms but in simple things such as no cheating in exams and the like.
It would be such a shame to let that opportunity be a waste if only for my family’s financial status.
I go to school. I study hard. I learn about the theories. I learn about the future. I learn about what’s right from wrong. I learn about life. At the end of the day, I get to realize how important education is to a person. More so, I learn about how to be an individual who can be successful and professional all at the same time, without doing something wicked or impetuous.
A good future is at hand and I know I am on the right track. No one can hinder me from attaining it, in as much as one’s career can be as great as he hopes to be without engaging in such fraudulent acts. The scholarship
is a great avenue for me to continue studying while I rest assured that no one can stop me from living my dreams in the future – be it financially, or something else.
