Dear Ms.Davidow, 

I am reaching out to you to tell you more about myself and my future goals. I was born in Bangladesh and moved to New York when I was about 4 years old. Adjusting to the different cultures in America was very difficult. However, I was able to overcome the change and formed many memories from living here in America. I also gained many achievements and talents.

One of my greatest achievements was when I received a gold award for a music contest. Leading up to the contest there were many challenges I had to overcome. One challenge I had to overcome was not being able to play a part in the music. With the help of my teacher and my perseverance, I was able to master the difficult part of music through constant practice. This experience taught me that with effort and constant practice I can get good at something I once found difficult. 

One talent I have is that I can skate. I first learned to skate when I was a junior in high school. The first time I started skating I wasn’t good at it, but I loved skating. It helped relieve stress. I also liked skating with my friends. After skating for about 6 months I got decent at it and I was able to perform several tricks. Skating is something I still love to do during my free time to either relieve some stress or to hang out with my friends.

I also want to tell you about an experience that was meaningful to me. The experience was when I first started helping my dad with work. Working with my dad helped me get a little closer to him. It also gave me a better understanding of what he has to go through every day when he goes to work. During this time I helped my dad fix lightbulbs and other things. I went to people’s homes and helped my dad do the wiring for lights or a ceiling fan. He showed me how he does it and once let me do it myself. This experience gave me a better idea of what I might want to do in the future. I liked helping my dad do some light electrical work which inspired me to pursue electrical engineering in college.

I plan on majoring in electrical engineering. I chose electrical engineering because I thought it was interesting when I first helped my dad with work. In the future, I want to start my own company. First I want to work for a company to gain a lot of experience and what to expect when running a company. Then I plan on doing self-work and building a company from there. Although it sounds simple I am certain it will be a very difficult task.

I want you to see me as a hard worker and motivated student. I want to learn many things in this class that can help me in the future. I am very excited to learn from you and what this class can teach me about engineering.
