Writing a Letter Requesting Admission to a College: Sample Letter
Dear Rogue Foundation,
My mother at a very young age migrated from Mexico to look for what many call, “The American Dream.” It was impossible for her to adapt to a new way of living. To the point where she couldn’t even order a Hamburger from a drive-through because she felt helpless due to speech barriers. Therefore, I will overcome any obstacles that stand in my way, and break the cycle of education barriers, which have impacted me and my family for many years.
I want to obtain an Associate of Applied Science Degree for Computer support Technician. I also want to transfer to a Southern Oregon University and get my bachelor degree on Computer Science. My parents didn’t have the opportunity to attend college, or even complete elementary school, but they have always been wise enough to realize how education is the key to a better life; therefore, I will always remain focused to being a successful student.
At 14 years old I had to help my mother with financial responsibilities. School wasn’t a priority. One morning my mother said, “Jessica, if you want to have two jobs like I do for the rest of your life then sleep, but listen to what I’m going to tell you get up and go to school, or else you will be just like me when you get older.” I then put myself in her shoes and didn’t see a future for myself. For this reason, I graduated and went to college.
It became a challenge when I had a family of my own because my goals were set aside. When it was time to continue my education, my husband deprived me from going to college and I was not willing to surrender, so he left without saying a word. I am a single parent of two children Andres and Regina and I would like to be a positive role model for them. The person that I am now is a woman of courage, dedication, commitment, and responsibility. I will demonstrate to my children that college is a standard chapter of life.
The places where I volunteer have a great impact for my children’s education as well as the
