Dear (name of contact person

I am seeking to be a part of Teach for America as a corps member primarily because I believe in its ideals to offer quality education among children coming from the economically and socially marginalized part of our society . While it is the usual case wherein it is expected that

children from low-income bracket have poorer performance in comparison with children from those of higher-income , I completely agree that this need not be the case and that it can be changed . To be a corps member would open up the chance for me to become an agent of change that would bring better opportunities and a better life for these children even on the following generations to come

It is my desire to join the team of (subject /department you 're interested ) teachers . I have been interest in the field of (your field of specialization ) since (state what influenced you to pursue your degree . My academic achievements include _________ and I have been actively involved in (your school or community organizations

Furthermore , I find great fulfillment in motivating students to learn and to find creative ways to impart knowledge . I also believe that an essential attitude that students need to acquire is to have a mindset that learning is fun . I have found it effective that bringing fun activities in the classroom help students associate enjoyment with learning , sharply boosting the student 's interest on the subject and thereby increasing performance as well . Many have positively responded --- no longer do they come to study because they feel that they HAVE to but because they WANT to

I am dedicated to see a significant progress on my students and consequently , I am willing to sacrifice my time to see such an achievement . I have found it extensively helpful to be able to identify the `slow learners ' among the group , identify the causal factors , and conduct personal counseling or tutoring on such students

As you 'll also see from my resume , I believe that I possess the attitudes , values , and academic achievement that are required to be a corps member . I am confident that I can contribute towards reaching the goals of the organization . You can directly contact me through this number (mobile phone /home phone ) and discuss with you the possibility of being a part of your prestigious organization . Thank you for your consideration

Sincerely (Your signature (Your full name...
