Alumni Scholarship Essay
Of all the things i've done in my life there has only really been one thing that has changed me forever and would never want to get rid of. And that special thing in my life is music. I love to play the Trombone and I have been playing since the 5th grade. Ever since I touched the instrument, I have had a blast playing it and fell in love with it. When I get out of high school, I plan on majoring in jazz music.
The 7th grade was the first year I ever played in jazz band. My band director's name back then was Mr. Durham, and he taught me everything i know today. He always told me that I was the best trombone player he had ever seen. The one thing that made me realize that I had true tallent is the last day of school when I had him sign my yearbook. He wrote in something that made me feel something great. "To a GREAT Trombonist! DJ, its been a pleasure watching you grow up and improve these two years. Make sure you sign up for band in Colorado and I wish you all the best in High School. We'll all miss your talent here very much." It was that day that I knew I could do what I wanted with music, because I know there would be someone right beside me saying that he believed in me. And ever since the 8th grade, I've still been chasing after my dream.
As soon as I got to high school, I knew i had to work hard for my dream. I try out for all of the honor bands, all-state bands, and everything else that awaits my presence. When I graduate out of high school, I plan to move to arizona, and major in jazz music in a place that always makes me feel like home, Arizona State University. I feel that if you want to achieve something you have to be around things that make you happy in order to be good at it. When I lived in Arizona, I felt like I was unstoppable, I could do anything I set my mind to. Going back there, I will set my mind on jazz and nothing but jazz. I'll do whatever it takes to become the best jazz trombonist alive.
Just like everyone else I didnt really have any idea what I wanted to do with my life when i was younger, but now im sure. I want to major in jazz music in the place I keep closest to my heart. Jazz music just makes me so happy, i get all the rhythems, everything just makes so much sense to me. The kinds of music you hear from jazz bands can be just phenominal, and it feels great to know I can be a part of that. Jazz music will be my life, because my trombone is my life, and I can do whatever i want with it.

To Whome It May Concern:
I am writing to you, to apply for the position of the Front Office Receptionist. I believe that my awesome ability to talk to people in a kindly manor will help increase my chances at being employed as a Front Office Receptionist. Throughout high school I kept up with being in many different clubs and have been the drum major in marching band and even been the captain for my high school soccer team of two years. As I was in high school, I was also helping coach the girls soccer team while I kept a GPA of 3.5. While I was in high school, I had taken speech class and even debate class, and even before that I had taken 2 years of computer applications, of which in all classes I have passed with A’s.`
I have graduated out of high school now, and I had recently moved from colorado of which I started my highschool career. When I was in highschool, I have had very good grades in all my classes. I was holding at least an A in every single class every year. I had taken a debate class in high school, which taught me how to be organized through binders and helped me with practicing my speaking skills and was one of the best debaters in the class. I had also taken a speech class my junior year and in that class I had been so good with my speaking that I passed every speech with a 100% and I had passed the class with over 110%. In my computer applications class, I had learned about many different programs and how to use them proficiently. I learned how to write letters in word, and how to use microsoft office which helped me in organizing dates for certain events in the class.
I have had many opportunities to help out with many events that involved marching band where I was the leader of the group known as the drum major. I had many opportunities to bring people into our fundraiser by making them feel welcome and make them feel sure they know who they are helping out. Speech class has definitely given me the skill to talk to people in any way. Whether its on the phone or even in person. I’ve been using these skills everyday by meeting new people and helping friends in need of help whether its on the computer or with a problem at home. With all these skills I have developed, it has helped me become a way better student or could even make me a better employee.
I really appreciate you taking the time to read this letter and for giving me a shot at the position of a front office receptionist. I also appreciate the things you guys do for the state of arizona. There are pleople in this world that I know would be very grateful for what you do as well as I am. If you would like to get ahold of me with any information about your company I may need to know or to get ahold of me for later reasons. To contact me, you can either email me at djrivera13@gmail.com or even give me a call at (480)290-0408. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, and I can promise you that you wouldn’t regret chosing me for this position.
Sincerely,
Derek Cusyk
