Dear junior,
My name is Rebekah I am an English 4 Enriched junior. I’m writing this business letter to you so that hopefully you will learn a little more about the kind of person I am.
At home, I am a laid back person. I live with my parents and my sister, Shannon who is a freshman this year at West. I also have a very large group of friends that I met from being apart of our district’s music programs. One activity we love to do together is being a part of the Marching Band. Although this seems like a very dorky activity, it actually is a very popular, fun, challenging and competitive “sport” around New York state. I think if I was not apart of this special group I would not appreciate music as seriously as I am now.
In school I am a very hard working, organized student. This year I am taking pre-calculus, Spanish, U.S. history, a forensic science class and playing the flute in a concert band and a wind ensemble. I am also apart of two honor societies. History is my favorite and strongest subjects in school. I think it is very interesting to learn about other cultures and our past. My favorite part of any class is when we have debates about past and current events.
I love to simply pick up a book and just read. I don’t usually analyze a book as I read because all I want is a good story. Mystery, adventure, and historical fiction and some historical non-fiction books are my favorite genres. Over the summer I have read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, and lately I have been reading a lot of classics such as the Sherlock Holmes and the Wizard of Oz series.
Writing does not interest me as much as reading. Writing an essay is like pulling out teeth for me. I only like writing if its a topic that I am interested in. Writing historical research essays are basically the only essays that I somewhat enjoy writing. However, since I am looking into occupation fields of historical research, I know I am going to have to learn very quickly how to love writing.
I hope that how I described myself has been interesting to you. I cannot wait to learn more about you and your interests. I am also anxious to see the fun, things that are in store for us this year!
Sincerely,
Rebekah
