Dear ______,

I graduated from Central high School of Philadelphia in the 25% of my class, that's pretty amazing given the fact that I graduated with 500+ other students. I know it's not perfect but hey I'm average. I'm motivated, hard working, dedicated and ambitious to reach my goals. No matter what anyone tells me I will succeed, overcoming and defeating any and every obstacle in my way. People tell me all the time that because of who I am or where I'm from I wont achieve my goals. I respond "where I'm from is who I was and who I was is who I am, I change for no one and all of my success and failure is a product of my own creation. So take as I am or watch me as I go." I do not let things like that get to me, I'm honest and I cannot help it. I refuse to lie in order to spare another person's feelings because sometimes all people want is the truth. I am an excellent people person and I'm very understanding, in other words, I can see from both sides of the fence.

I am:

• Well-rounded
• Hardworking
• Trustworthy
• Punctual
• Motivated
• Efficient
• Optimistic
• Outgoing
• Dedicated

Along side that I would further like to discuss my application with you in person and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Karon Davis-Coleman

My group, GREENWORKS, is a group whose main concern is protecting and helping the environment and economy. We are broken up into small teams amongst our group. My team's objective is to research and record where neighborhood get their food from, I mean where it actually comes from. We trace some of the produce all the way back to production. By the time we have finished I could tell you where the wheat that was used to make your burger bun came from. Now tell me that doesn't sound interesting. Check it out

Letter for Letter Of Recommendation

Dear Hazreena,

I am writing this to ask for a letter of recommendation for a job. I don't exactly know which job yet but that would be helpful and greatly appreciated. My basic info is:

• Karon Davis-Coleman
• karondc28@gmail.com
• As you know I'm hardworking, punctual, dedicated, and an all around good person
• I'm a freshman at CCP
• I graduated from Central High School of Philadelphia
  

I chose you because I feel as though you know me better than Zak and you can be more personal and detailed when typing the recommendation letter, if you decide to, which I hope you do. I would like to thank you because I know you have a lot on your plate already with the extra year of school, switching of your majors and all. I hope you find the time to write it but if you can't I would not be upset. There is no deadline since there's n job currently, however, I would like the letter before the program is over. Most likely the job will probably be at a retail store because you know I love to shop. So if you could just try to relate it to some type of retail. I really would appreciate if you did this for me.

P.S. Please &Thank you

Sincerely,
Karon Davis-Coleman

Ever heard the saying don't judge a book by it's cover? Well when people ask me what I want to be when I grow up they think I'll say something like basketball or football player but they're wrong. I mean all that's fine but my dream job is a little more realistic and important than that. When I grow up I want to be a Psychologist, not an athlete or a hip-hop/r&b artist. Don't get me wrong I love sports and music just as much as the next teen but to me they're just hobbies not a long-term goal.

I graduated from Central high School of Philadelphia in the 25% of my class, that's pretty amazing given the fact that I graduated with 500+ other students.

I am an excellent people person and I'm very understanding, in other words, I can see from both sides of the fence.

I want to be a psychologist because I feel like every now and again someone somewhere needs a shoulder to lean on or someone to come to for advice and I feel as though I am that person for whoever needs me. so if I could help them with their problems why shouldn't I help others. the type of psychology that I favor most in Forensic Psychology, which is the study of criminology or the study of criminal behavior that's associated with serial killers, psychopaths, etc. However, I am most likely to be an average Psychologist like the ones who study psychological illnesses and promote it's improvement.
