To Whom This May Concern,

I, Lynnae Edwards, am a recent graduate from Kutztown University with an

undergraduate Bachelors degree in Education, with a concentration in Elementary Education. It
is with lots of respect that I humbly submit my resume for a position as an Elementary Educator
at your esteemed institution. I firmly believe that I would be a great asset to both your school
and faculty. With me, I bring an unmatched work ethic and a strong desire to mold the minds of
our future leaders. To begin my career with this fantastic opportunity would be a lifelong dream,
and would give me the ability to effect real change in the classroom.
I believe one of the most important qualities an educator must possess, is the capacity to
lead. My time at Kutztown University has tremendously prepared me for this role, as Ive had the
honor of leading several different organizations on campus. Of which, Sigma Lambda Gamma
National Sorority Incorporated has been the most challenging and rewarding. Our colony was
founded in 2014, and I was given the responsibility and the honor of serving as its first
president. This role greatly prepared me for leadership as I was charged with the difficult task of
efficiently running an organization. I was able to achieve this not by handling all affairs myself,
but by utilizing my other members talents and delegating specific tasks and roles based on
those abilities. As a result, through increasing membership, our colony has been given the
distinction of being promoted to chapter status
Secondly, I believe an educator must possess a strong desire for academic excellence.
From the start of my freshman year, I challenged myself to devote one hundred percent of my
time and effort to my academics, and I did exactly that. This achievement is evident in my 3.72
cumulative GPA that Ive maintained for the majority of my academic career at Kutztown
University. Also, Ive been selected to the Deans list five times, and Ive been admitted to four
honor societies based on my academic achievement. It is no question that my background has
shaped my views on education. My parents stressed the idea of education being a means for
success and I have internalized this ideal and plan on instilling this belief within my students.
Above all, my passion for working with children is without a doubt what separates me
from other candidates. I have devoted a great deal of my time mentoring our youth and future
leaders. The Young Heroes youth program was my first experience working with at-risk youth. It
was there that my hobby of mentoring youth grew to a career possibility. I knew then, at the age
of eleven that Teaching was the profession for me. Now a senior in college ready for graduation,
there is no doubt in my mind that Education is not only where I need to be but it is my calling,
and I believe it is my duty to pass on what Ive learned to the next generation.
Thank you for your consideration
