To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to begin by thanking you for the opportunity of this position. I would like to
find a position where I could pursue a great career in the business world while attending
college to further educate myself; I believe this position is the best fit under those
regards. I believe I will make a great employee in this position as I work great under
deadlines, I am proficient in computer programs, and am great at working with other
people.

As president and founder of the Organic Life Garden Club, I was exposed to many strict
deadlines. I was responsible for writing grants, organizing fundraisers, and preparing
for competitions, amongst other tasks.

Joining SISTEMMA Academy has all its students to master presenting and the use of
computer programs. Computer science has exposed us to many different Microsoft
Office programs, as well as 3D Printing and many video editing software. The
alternative English class taught us how to corroborate information and put it together in
a multimedia presentation.

Being the brass section leader of my schools band has taught me how to work with
others to achieve a common goal. Every semester, we all work together to master our
music to be competition-ready by the time the season comes around. Also, I have
learned leadership abilities, being there for my peers when they needed assistance in
the comprehension of their music.

Another great opportunity I received in my high school career was attending Francisco
Bravo Medical Magnet High School. Bravo has received the honor of being one of the
Nation and States Best Schools since 2007, as well as the honor of becoming a Gold
Ribbon School in 2017. At Bravo, its great faculty and staff has trained us students to
excel in adapting to the real world, preparing us for our futures.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Best regards,
