I've finished your essays about what it means to be a scholar. Here are some of my favorite lines. I've kept it to just a few, though I could have included many more.
"I think being a scholar is not only being knowledgeable, but also putting forth the effort and having the desire to learn."
"One quality I think is important to be considered a scholar is to challenge yourself."
"Scholars have to be well-rounded as people."
"A scholar is someone who works hard and never gives up."
"This might just be the resultant debris from the collision between my cynicism and popular idealism, but I do not believe that every person can do anything even when they do everything in their power to achieve it."
"....if a person's car gets bad mileage, he or she will need a good amount of fuel to reach Scholarville. The luckier ones, though, can travel at light speed the entire way and scarcely ever stop for a refill."
"I like to think that the best kind of scholar is a mixture: someone who is well educated but is also a believer that not everything can be answered by logic."
"Organization is the key to being successful at anything."

I enjoyed these quotes greatly. In my opinion, a scholar is someone who actively seeks knowledge in many forms (books, conversations, experiences) and is open to the ideas, theories, and beliefs of others.
