Scholarship essays-supposed to be serious?

<p>The scholarship im applying for isnt just one of those regular $ ones, its the robertson scholarship (UNC-Duke), so I feel like it should be serious, but I dont want to write a serious one b/c i feel like it'd be boring
i arleady wrote one thats light hearted i guess? but it gets across what im passionate about and my values and what not</p>

<p>so... do you wannt me to read it? what tone you write it in is up to you. there's no right answer to your question</p>

<p>I think "light-hearted" can be ok as long as you're not sarcastic, overly reliant on humor etc. Is it well written? Catchy intro? Good, clear info in the middle? Nice summary and final statement?</p>
