College Discussion Forums: Financial Aid and Scholarships: Advice on Scholarship Essay

I have to write an essay for a college scholarship and I am having trouble with it. My essay promt is With your future growth in mind describe a potential classmate that you believe you could learn from either within or outside a formal classroom environment.
I just started my rough draft, but I noticed that I have a LOT of the phrase "I hope that I will learn..." or ones to that effect. Any advice on how to change that? And is there another way to describe the classmate instead of saying " my future classmate..."
thanks.
ps. I hate writing in future tense.

Make it a story...like you're writing it from the future. Or to make it clearer, date your essay like you would a journal entry, then make up what happened and reflect on it.
