Greetings MSTA family - We are proud to announce the scholarship topic for this year.  Please have all students eligible to write about the following:  “THE REFLECTION OF A MISSISSIPPI STATE TROOPER: REPUTATION IS FOR TIME; CHARACTER IS FOR ETERNITY.” A famous saying states, reputation is for time; character is for eternity.  Think about this quotation as it relates to a person’s character and the impact that our life choices have on our character. Write an essay explaining your thoughts as they relate to this quotation. Be sure to support your thoughts and specific points and/or examples. You may use points and/or examples based on personal experiences, reading, or observations and base them as a reflection of a Mississippi State Trooper.  So, good luck and get busy writing.
