Subject: Summer Internship (Pathways of Education)
Dear Mr. Lee
This letter is in regards to summer internship offered through Pathways of Education. I would be more than happy to be apart of the amazing opportunities Pathways offers. As a former student of Options for Youth I was lucky enough to be apart of the numerous activities offered by Pathways. Being among my peers as we helped the community had such an impact on my view of what team work means. Not only was I able to build stronger relationships with friends and faculty, I was able to connect with the mentors on the trips. With this being said I want to be able to help students the way I was helped. I think it is important for students to be able to connect with others who were in similar situations and know it is possible to move forward. I believe I will be able to fulfill the requirments necessary based on my experience in leadership and management. I have always been a strong leader among my peers; and can connect and understand the struggles many high school students face.
I would like to thank you for taking my application into consideration and am more than ready to be apart of the Pathways of Education Team.
Thank you,
Ilyanna Camacho-luna
