My College Cover Letter
|
Posted By: Branden Asemah on September 30, 2007 My name is Branden Asemah and I am an award-winning senior with a weighted GPA of 4.3. From the first day I transferred from White Station High School to Middle College, I made it known to teachers and classmates that making a change with my voice and experiences was my great ambition. Giving others information that will only enlighten them is my passion. I serve as a staff reporter for the Teen Appeal, a city-wide high school newspaper funded by Scripps Howard, during the last three years. In this capacity, I have interviewed city officials and powerbrokers making sure that young people stay informed of the local political climate. As a little league soccer referee and president of the Shelby Farms Youth Alliance, I have reported on everything from environmentalism to sports. Teen Appeal awarded me the “Best Sports Story Idea” in 2006. While completing my high school coursework this year I am enrolled in three college classes. They include Economics, American National Government and English Composition. My writing professor from the University of Memphis reports that I have maintained an “A” average. However, she is impressed most by my inquisitive nature and my great determination to master the manipulation of words. I am a two-year participant in “Memphis Challenge” and “Bridge Builders,” which both teach civic responsibility and the great things about being a Memphian. I have excelled while taking public speaking, contemporary issues, and journalism at Choate Rosemary Preparatory School in Connecticut. Each of my professors and my dorm advisor gave me the highest grades and compliments on my character. This past summer, I was one of only 42 students from across the nation selected to attend J-Camp—a selective and intensive writing program designed to identify and inspire a new generation of journalists. Because of my tenacity and drive for excellence, the directors of the program awarded me with the coveted prize and title, “Best Camper.” I was the only student from Memphis to ever attend this prestigious camp. Though I love write and volunteer, I have many other duties as a student leader. I am President of my senior class and vice-president of my school’s National Honor Society. Both positions require me to draft proposals for fundraisers and school programming. Recently, my prowess with words convinced the school administration to reinstate students’ desire for a graduation trip to Disney’s Grad Nite in Orlando, Florida. I also proposed and used my communication talents to help establish “Dress Up Fridays” for all Middle College Seniors. Although the media states that many black men are resulting to violence because of the struggles of their everyday lives; I do not need a gun. I am learning through the power of words.
