The Awesome Letter of Interest I Never Sent

*Ed's Note*

So yes, the title of this post speaks for itself, I never did get to send this Letter of Interest to my program and while I think I've really found something better, it makes me sad that it'll go to waste if I don't put it up somewhere for someone to read. So here y'all go, thanks for coming!

*End Note*



To Whom It May Concern:



I am writing to you a letter showing my interest in enrolling for the College's Natural Resources Technology Program. Through thorough personal inquiy and research, I realize that NRTP will be one of te most profound and rewarding experiences in my scholastic pursuits; One that, once reached the point where it is my career, will allow me to be a valuable asset to what is justly becoming a high priority: our Environment.



From an early age I knew that taking care of our Earth was wholly important and the topic of humanity's stewardship of it often took a backburner to other global issues. At that point I knew that doing my pat in preserving the nature around us would take more than just recycling pop bottles & cutting up plastic pop can rings. Taking a wise philosopher to heart when they said, "We do not inherit the Earth from our parents, we borrow it from our Childen." I have worked to hone my skills in leadership and work ethics to not only prepare myself for the hard road ahead, but to also attempt to inspire others to not take the beauty of Nature around us for granted and that we all play a part in its Future.



What I'm bringing to this program are not ground-breaking ecological philosophies, nor am I revolutionizing ways of living on the land with remarkable Bushwoman skills. What I am offering on the table is simply...





And that's where my letter ended. Like I said I never got to finish and send it because they sent a letter telling me I can't get in, which was a heart-stopping moment at the time, but now...Well I'm okay. I'm better than okay, even: I have a plan.



It really makes me wonder how I could've finished the letter though. What was I really offering of myself? Passion? Thirst for knowledge? Pure and sincere want of doing good for not only myself but What Is Beyond Mine? Who knows? Well the College certainly won't now, and in my humble (and I realize biased) opinion, it is their loss, eh?
