There are many things that can help a student increase his/her potential for future success. The area we would like you to focus on is your capacity to learn. Write an essay that is no longer than 1000 words that clearly identifies one strategy that you believe will help increase your learning power.

Tips: You can choose almost anything that you believe will increase your capacity to learn. This could include things like learning how to speed read, playing N-Back, eating healthy, reading more, etc..

An example of a previous winning entry can be found here: http://westkelownadentists.ca/news/145/scholarship_winner_meghan_durboraw.php

Please ensure the Title of your essay is the strategy that you have chosen. For example, if you have decided to write about speed reading, then the title should be "Speed Reading". Also, you must support your argument. It is not sufficient to simply say you think that speed reading will increase the power of your brain. You must provide some supporting opinion(s) or evidence for your chosen topic
