Mature Student Letter – Please Comment And Read The Rest In Additional Comments!?


To Whom It May Concern:
My name is . This letter concerns my admission to the University of Saskatchewan and I hope I am accepted for the Summer 2013 term.
I would like to pursue my education further, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I believe, with a University Degree, I will be able to enter the labour force with that much more leverage. I see success from the lens of education, the more educated one is, the more successful he/she is. I plan to make school my top priority to ensure that my grades are as high as they can be!
Furthermore, I would like to pursue an undergraduate education because it gives a greater clarity of mind and encourages creativity. I am really passionate about my community, but without a post-secondary degree, I am unable to get involved in my community in the capacity I would enjoy working in. My passion has always been biology. In high school it was the subject that I was most involved in. After my undergraduate degree I would like to enrol in a post-grad program to further my learning and thinking. I think with the University of Saskatchewan having the ability to offer so many different programs at the undergrad and graduate level helps a enhance the development of character and personality, not necessarily to get a well-paid post.
Gradually, I would like to either follow my mother’s footsteps and become a teacher or even get into a science graduate program which is my passion. My mother has been a teacher for the past 30 years of her life, 15 of them being with the Toronto District School Board. My mother has always been a point of inspiration as she was the first female in our family to get a post-secondary education about 30 years ago. She paved the path and many of my female cousin sisters were able to become doctors and engineers after she carved the path for them. I want to create a niche for myself, and be able to in a way give back to the community that has given me so much to be thankful for.
In the past, I have had the chance for the past few years to be a part of a major airline. I had been working as cabin crew for Emirates and it has enabled me to have many different qualities which would work in my favour when undergoing my undergrad studies. As cabin crew we are responsible for what happens in the aircraft. We all have designated areas that we look after. I would like to start off by explaining the job outline of a cabin crew.
The job outline of a cabin crew is
● greeting passengers as they board and exit the plane;
● showing passengers to their seats and providing special attention to certain passengers, such as the elderly or disabled;
● serving meals and refreshments;
● checking the condition and provision of emergency equipment and information for passengers;
● demonstrating emergency equipment and safety procedures;
● administering first aid;
● dealing with emergencies;
● supplying passengers with newspapers, magazines and in-flight entertainment;
● selling duty-free commercial goods and pursuing sales targets;
● producing written flight reports after completing a journey.
As you can see there is a high degree of responsibility involved, and cabin crew are expected to deal with all passengers diplomatically – even when feeling the effects of travelling through time zones and spending extended periods of time on their feet. I know the fact that I had this much responsibility on me has led me to be a stronger individual and able to prioritize. I have had to give up a lot of my social life to work odd hours, and I know university can be like that, it is all about prioritizing your work and working efficiently. I know that when there is a lot of work piled on to you, you have to just get it done. It means a lot of anti-social nights but that is ok because I am used to it.
By working for Emirates this past year, and having several other part/full time jobs over the last 3 years, I have been able to save up for a University Education. This means, I can divert all of my focus in attaining this University Degree without having to worry about my finances.
In addition, I have developed problem solving, leadership and communication skills. I was able to develop these qualities because of the extensive training I received while working for Emirates and also because I lived alone for the first time in my life. It was one of the most difficult and challenging periods in my life as I was an alien to this land, but thankfully I managed and have come out a very strong person. I have learnt lessons that will help me manage all situations in my life.
