Fairfield, CA 94534 (707) 439-1595 josephhanna16@gmail.com May 1st, 2017 Senior Portfolio Committee Elise P. Buckingham Charter Magnet High School 188 Bella Vista Rd Vacaville, CA 95687 Dear Senior Portfolio Committee, I am writing this letter to get the approval of my senior portfolio. With the acceptance of my senior portfolio, I will be able to graduate high school and start my post high-school education by majoring in Civil Engineering. I hope that you clearly understand my intentions and appreciate what I have to offer. I believe that through my experiences in Buckingham, I have obtained the academic skills necessary to graduate and pursue my future. In my first year, I met my favorite teacher, Mr. Ford. He taught me the secrets of art and how to paint on different materials. Indeed, I learned many skills in art like creativity, focus, and patience. In my second year, I met the best Spanish teacher, Seora Jara. She taught me Spanish 1 and 2. Through her rigorous course, I learned to make a conversation with someone and learned to understand many phrases. My third year at Buckingham was the hardest year due to AP Calculus and Physics. In the end, I earned Bs in both classes. At this point, I am working very hard to maintain my G.P.A. in order to obtain the Presidents Education Award in May. In brief, high school is coming to an end and I need to prepare for the future. My immediate future plans are to go to UC Davis and graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. If route A doesnt work then I will go to Solano Community College and transfer to UC Davis after two years. In fact, I am willing to focus on the study of buildings and how to defy gravity. After college, I would want to work with my degree in Southern California and start life there. Furthermore, I want to make my dream a reality and the reason why I am the right person because I am very talented, organized, and ready for any challenge. I would love to accomplish my dream and this would happen with my acceptance of my senior portfolio. Ultimately, if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to contact me by email or by my cell-phone. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Sincerely,
