Plagiarism?

This week I copy-pasted whole paragraphs from scholarship essays that I've written previously (but didn't get), and put them together into a "Thank You" letter to accept the one scholarship that I did get. Half tuition scholarship to BYU Provo!!! And all I had to do was write "thanks," send a picture, and mail it off. Boo-yah.

And then I tried to write an essay on why I should be chosen for the Principal's Award. And that one sucked. I'll try and fix it before it's due. And that's it.
