Good Evening Professor LaRose,
I am applying for a DICAS internship in the Spring of 2019, and I am planning on taking my GRE by the end of this Summer to help increase my chances of getting accepted for a DICAS internship, but also because I am interested in pursuing a Masters in Public Health after receiving my license to become a Registered Dietitians. I am emailing you in regards to inquire if I have a chance in receiving a letter of recommendation from you. I understand the certain criteria that is needed for you to consider writing a student a recommendation letter, but despite knowing that, I still considered asking you because it would be an honor to have a letter of recommendation written by you. I also still considered you because I do have B's in all of the nutrition classes I have taken and currently in AMNT

I am very close to getting an A. I also have an A in microbiology currently, and I received a B in biochemistry.
This fall I am retaking Chemistry and I aiming for an A. I do not think grades can fully represent one's work ethic, grit and perseverance. Personally, I have struggled with the fact that I was in special education until middle school. I was behind academically because for the first few years in my life I was almost fully deaf and struggled to learn as quickly as others. Although I was in no longer in special education classes by high school, it was already ingrained in my mind that, academically, I was not intelligent enough to fulfill my dreams of having a job that involves food and nutrition. Even with those thoughts, I still pushed myself to apply to Johnson & Wales to prove myself wrong. Thankfully, I did prove myself wrong. I just goes to show even with those negative, I came from being someone that saw no potential in myself with no proof that I was smart into someone who works hard everyday. Grades don't show that someone is in-tune with their weakness and strengths and that their emotionally intelligent enough to work on them. For example, a weakness that I have struggled with is being not being
detailed-oriented enough when doing projects. I believe that is the main reason why I did better on tests rather than projects. When I fully realized that, I started putting more energy into projects when I was in MNT and AMNT. With all of that being said, I realize that you do need some type of proof that I can succeed in the DICAS internship. I can send you a project that I worked on in LifeSpan and a few case studies that I did for AMNT this trimester, all of which received high grades. If you would like to see anything any other assignments before deciding whether or not to write me a recommendation, please let me know. If you would like to set up a meeting with me to talk about this more in person, my schedule will be the following: Tuesday: Anytime after 9:30 AM Wednesday: Between 11:30 AM to 1 PM Thursday: Anytime before 9:30 AM Regardless of whether you choose to write me a recommendation letter or not, I do want you to know that you are one of the best professors at Johnson & Wales who genuinely cares about her students and the material you teach. Thank you so much for taking your time to read my email, I appreciate it. Sincerely, Marissa
Worrying too much about grades can cause students serious problems like not really understanding the work, make them not feel smart enough and lose interest in school and can cause anxiety and other health issues. In the article Mr. Bains said “ Indeed, there are several problems with strategic learners” (Project Information Literacy October 10, 2012 page1/4). One of the problems is students don 't really understand what they are learning if once they reach that high grade they want they will just stop. I am very guilty of only performing for the grade because I did it all throughout high school. I was taught that getting an A was the highest grade you can get so once I reached that A I...
In the article “Making the Grade,” published in Newsweek Magazine, Professor Kurt Wiesenfeld states that students in the modern society believe that they should receive grades based on their desires and potential rather than their academic performance and personal effort. It is arguable that students should be allowed to have some leniency based on the fact that there may be obstacles distracting or refraining them from completing their work. I believe that it is the students responsibility to maintain or improve their grades by implementing hard work, consistency and dedication to their studies.
The first requirement for consideration is an overall outstanding grade point average and the ability to maintain or improve upon that grade throughout my high school career. I believe I have done more than express my deep desire to achieve beyond that of my peers in and out of the classroom, and continue to do so to this day. When first appearing in the Wapato School system in the 7th grade, I had immense trouble maintaining any good grades. Now, I don’t blame this on anybody but myself, as I was never told throughout my childhood leading up to then that I should pay attention to my schoolwork. I know this may seem hard to believe, but I was simply considered more
My GPA is a 4.1000 and it teeters between 4.1500 and 4.1000. I haven't ever had a C and my grades are all A’s or A+’s. I also make sure I behave in class, so my work habits grades are also all A’s and A+’s. I’m consistently make sure that I keep my grades where they are and I always am striving for my best. If I do happen to get a grade I'm not fond of, I make sure that as soon as possible I get my grade back up to the desired A or A+. For instance, once I had a complex goal not met, so as soon as I could, I made sure I got my grade up. Now that goal is met and my grade for that quarter is A+. Even in the topics I don't enjoy as much, I make sure I work my hardest. I’m always trying to improve my grade with extra credits and 4.0 opportunities. This shows that I do meet the grade requirement for
I had a difficult time learning in school. I became a few years behind my grade level and my parents considered having me repeat a grade. My learning support teacher worked with me one on one for months and taught me how to study and work hard. I continued working hard and started getting better grades, and soon I became top of my class. I kept studying and strived to get the best possible grades throughout middle school and high school. I looked to challenge myself and took advanced placement classes. I don’t think I would have worked hard in high school, if I had not struggled earlier on, I would most likely be on a completely different life
At my old high school, I would have had a tough time answering this question. My grade point average was my identity, my community engagement was my passion, and campus leadership drove me to reach higher. While all of these qualities are great, I started to lose focus of my other qualities that mattered the most. This changed at the Governor's School for Science and Math. Here I have learned that self improvement and hard work are my best qualities, and I now use them in other areas of my life, such as activities and community.
I am pleased to write in support of Ms. Ariana Salva, an undergraduate biochemistry major, to your Pharmacy program. I know Ms. Salva from her academic accomplishments in my organic chemistry courses at California State University Dominguez Hills. Over the year of Ariana’s coursework, I have noted her consistent academic aptitudes. Ms. Salva has shown an independence and self-motivation throughout the time I have known her, yet through laboratory work, she possesses very strong interpersonal skills amongst her peers.
Dear Marco: I write you this letter because I know that you are looking another type of university which name is PCC (Pensacola Christian College). I read about this university and in my point of view, I am completely disagreeing with the university and even more with the rules, we know that you like so much the parties but if you can see the rules of the university, they have several restrictions which for example you can not drink on the campus or off campus even though you are over 21 years old.
I was not ready, focused, or dedicated and as a result it reflected in my poor grades. This left me feeling like a failure, and my confidence was low in my abilities. It would take years before I would I feel confident enough in my abilities to return to college. As years passed I became focused, goal oriented, confident, and realized the path I wanted to pursue. It was a constant gnawing feeling to return to college. Once I felt confident in my abilities to succeed in college, I enrolled. As a result my grades improved to a 3.27 GPA. My academic strengths are my ability to focus, endure, prioritize and study. My deficiencies would be time management. I have set aside a time frame for study time this is what helped me to succeed in my undergrad program.
Possessing character traits such as cooperation, time-management, honesty, and perseverance has shaped me into the successful student I am today. Over the summer, I was employed at Six Flags St. Louis. This job has taught me how to cooperate with others and work as a team to get tasks done in a timely manner. I also have to take on responsibility with handling money and make sure I arrive at work on the times I am scheduled to do so. All throughout my high school career I have enrolled in classes that have challenged myself including AP European History, AP Chemistry, Honors Biology, and AP Government. I have persevered through theses classes and worked very hard to maintain outstanding grades. I have had to demonstrate responsibility by doing every homework assignment given and turning it in on time. I was honored to receive a Eureka High School Golden Standard Award for my excellent character my Freshman year. I was chosen for displaying my perseverance and
Grades are one of the most important factors of my high school career. My grade point average and my SAT's determine what college I go to. They determine my effort at high school. I must do whatever possible to keep my grade point average above 3.0. My GPA currently is ok, but if I could increase it by just .2 I would be much better off. Grades are very crucial for getting acceptance to college. They are one of the major things that colleges look at to accept you (or so I have been told). So I will keep pushing myself so that my grades will increase this year, making it possible for me to hopefully enter a better school then I can right now.
I am writing this letter to give my highest possible recommendation for Mr. Smith. I know Mr. Smith through his work in my office. Mr. Smith first approached me two years ago about the possibility of an internship in our company for the summer. At our first meeting I described the general outline of the project the he might work on. He asked good questions and appeared intelligent. He then went to the library and found many papers on the subject and read them carefully. He did this independently - I did not ask him to do this. I learned that he had done this at our second meeting, and I was quite impressed at his motivation and independence. During that summer, Mr. Smith demonstrated the ability to work independently with great creativity and enthusiasm. He also put in many long hours. He worked as hard as our best employees. I teamed Mr. Smith with another student to work on a project involving calculating the risk posed by driving under the influence of alcohol and coming up with reliable statistical data. The project included researching the net, talking to police officers and insurers, and surveying people who had recently been in such accidents. Mr. Smith excelled in each one of these areas. His interpersonal skills were excellent. He was usually the first one in the office in the morning and the last to leave in the evening. The other employees working with Mr. Smith commented favorably about working with him. They said the Mr. Smith got along well with everyone, pulled his own weight on the project, and had the ability to compromise with other team members.
I can remember freshman year being in school feeling inferior to everyone around me. So many people in my grade could so easily get straight A’s with what seemed like no effort. I had felt like I spent so much time working on schoolwork, and studying for tests to only end up with mediocre grades. Seeing my report card at the end of the year nearly killed me. I thought to myself, I worked so hard how could this happen, how can my class rank be so low. The only conclusion I could come up with was that I was not smart and that I was unintelligent.
Persistence, passion, perfection. All vital factors to master if you are to be successful, not only within the boundaries of education but throughout life as a whole. Throughout my 4 years of attending Kealakehe high school my mental strengths have been put to the test, multitudes of assignments requiring time management and organization skills in order to be wholesome and meet the standards you set for yourself. I have been thoroughly challenged by the high end education offered at Kealakehe high school, optimizing my chances for success and the ability to strive in college. I have never ceased to challenge myself, partaking in many Honors courses throughout the years, and despite enjoying the challenge and furthering my education I was unable to sustain a high GPA. Currently my GPA is a 2.5 but I aim to improve it as best I can my final year here, I lightened my course load to ensure my success while still challenging myself by taking an AP course. Despite briefly being a part of Interact I haven’t been as involved as I’d hoped throughout my high school career, other responsibilit...
As I started to advance into my high school education, I noticed that my attitude about school and grades was not going to get me anywhere. I went to school and goofed off with my friends and did enough work to get a decent 70 on my work and go home. I had no “active responsibility”, as Freire would say, because I didn’t have anything to motivate me to want to do well. It all changed when I started high school at Bear Grass Charter School. Bear Grass had just reopened as a charter school my freshman year. I was a new beginning for me because not only was I starting out at a new school, but I started to realize that I needed to improve my self-effort in my classes. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse when I graduated and I
