Dear__________________:

I am excited to gain entrance into the competitive City University of Xxxxxx s Macaulay Honors College.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have known that teaching was my niche. I would sit my stuffed animals down in front of me as I struggled to scribble my lesson plan on my small white board. They would stare at me with blank expressions as I spoke loud and clear in my tixxxxxx 5-year-old voice to teach them all about shapes, colors, and numbers. With admission to your college and through the valued role your academic institution would play in my instruction, I hope to ultimately realize my lifelong dream of becoming an educator.

To acquaint you with my background, please note that I am projected to graduate in June of 2017 with an Advanced Regents Diploma from Xxxxxx High School of Teaching where I will be recognized as Valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA.

An example of my teaching experience thus far includes the successful completion of a Teaching Institute Internship through membership in the Arista Honor Society. During this time, I completed 30 internship hours and participated in mandatory yet engaging weekly classes where my peers and I discussed various learning styles, the present state of education, and current events, and also completed large-scale projects to support academic endeavors, including creating a trifold for advertising, writing children s books, and attending an educational conference at Hunter College.

I also was a Teacher s Assistant for one of my Algebra teachers during my freshman year. Within this role, I proactively assisted fellow classmates with newly learned concepts and gained the valuable opportunity to teach the class at one point, as well as to lead special projects.

[ Suggestion! Address Here Axxxxxx Skills / Qualifications / Achievements Per Your Discretion ].

I invite you to review my enclosed resume for a detailed account of my honors, membership, and volunteer service, as well as recently completed college coursework. I am eager to become a part of a thriving group of academic scholars to further my key educational goals while continuing to nurture my proven commitment to excelling in academics, leadership, and community service.

I greatly appreciate your consideration as I embark on my academic studies, and look forward to a positive response from you.

Sincerely,

Yyyyyy x. yyyyyy
