SummaryWhen I was a child, I told myself I would read every book ever written. In the two-floored, two-roomed library of my small New Hampshire town, I thought nothing could stop me from reading the world. Innocent naivety yes, but so much the foundation of who I am and why I find myself writing this open letter.
If I could only leave Emerson College with one lesson learned, it would be the utter importance of personal experience. There are too many movies about filmmakers, books about authors, and plays about producers. I have spent four years watching fellow students slave over their art, only to realize in the end they forgot to live the inspiration. The literature majors who believe too blindly in the imagination, imagining the fulfillment of their goals and nothing else. They are learning to be better teachers, they believe, but literature is only Frankenstein’s monster, built piecemeal from experiences understood only when the books placed back on the shelves. Live, I tell them. Live and then teach the world to the world, not its imitation. Live and then speak of literature, not as the imitation, but the thing to imitate.

SummarySometimes the dreams of first-grade naivety are the only dreams ever realized.
In all probability, I will never read every book ever written. To think of the amount of novels, manuals and reference materials in the Emerson College library is staggering, not to mention the Boston Public Library, the Library of Congress, the lost world of Alexandria. Impossible, maybe, but as Freud said, dreams are only wish fulfillments, and all I wish is to learn, from books and the people who write them and, most importantly, from the people who read them. I wish to learn from teaching.

- Sometimes the dreams of first-grade naivety are the only dreams ever realized.
- But more importantly, Murray Schwartz writes with less-confident letters in a small notebook on his desk
- Of course, to arrive at such a world, I need to start walking.
- It is a stretch, yes, but I believe at the core of art is a distortion of life necessary for creativity, the exploitation of a single example into a rampant archetype

SummaryFrom Beacon Press’s website I learned of a job opening as a production assistant. I am very interested in this position, and believe I can contribute much to the company. I also believe the company can contribute to my own growth as well.
I graduated in May from Emerson College with a BFA in Writing, Literature and Publishing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent there, my teachers, my classes, and I left emerged in a love affair with all aspects of books and the English language. From proofreading to copy editing, from the choice of fonts and paper and size, book publishing is a field that amazes me, and I would love to become part of the process.

SummaryFrom the Germain Lawrence website, I learned of job openings as an Awake Overnight Counselor and a Relief Counselor.

While I do not have prior residential experience, I am comfortable working with people, all people, regardless of their difficulties. I am a quick thinker, and am self-sufficient and able to respond calmly and responsibly to any situations.

SummaryOn the Museum of Science’s Human Resources website, I learned of various employment opportunities in Visitor Services. I am very interested in these positions, and I believe I have the skills and expertise to excel at providing the best experience for guests. Particularly, I would love the part-time, temporary CSI staff position of Visitor Services Representative—Operations, for with my current schedule, the 10.25 hours per week fit perfectly, although I do have some flexibility if a different set of hours would prove more beneficial to the museum. However, I am also applying for the Visitor Services Representative II. Ideally, I would love the opportunity to manage both positions, to prove my ability in the part-time atmosphere to succeed in a full-time role, and am willing to build my spring semester / 2008 schedule around this position.

SummaryFrom Berklee College of Music’s human resources website, I learned of numerous openings within the university. I am very interested in these positions, for I am seeking employment in an academic environment and believe that my education and experience will be very beneficial to the college and to its future students.
As a recent graduate of Emerson College with a BFA in writing, literature, and publishing and a minor in psychology, I have learned almost everything about the life of a college student. I honestly believe that this first-hand knowledge is crucial to being able to provide students with a full, detailed and fruitful college experience. As valedictorian of the Class of 2007, it is obvious I enjoyed and used fully my education; not only do I have only good things to say about my experiences, I also have many experiences to talk about. I was involved in many facets of the Emerson community and established many roles during my four years, from starting catcher on the softball team to a member of the Student Government Association, the Resident Hall Association, and the Emerson Alliance of Gays, Lesbians and Everyone. I was also an on-campus student for four years. The attached resume details further the extent to which I participated in and benefited from the Emerson College community.

SummaryFrom Emerson College’s human resources website, I learned of an opening as the Student Service Center’s manager. I believe I have the knowledge, skills and training to succeed in such a position, and a desire to return to the Emerson community more valuable than anything else.
I graduated in May from Emerson with a BFA in Writing, Literature and Publishing. I possess solid communication skills, both orally and written, as exemplified by my valedictorian status. More importantly, during those four years, I sought numerous experiences, hoping to learn as much as possible outside the classroom. I believe these experiences have combined to make me a better person. From senior class vice-president to an employee in both the housing office and the athletics department, I have collected many skills through the years in office settings, customer service, and interpersonal relationships. I am ready to put these skills together in a career. I believe I will contribute greatly to this position as manager of the Student Service Center, but I also believe this position will contribute greatly to my growth as an individual.

SummaryI am writing to you because I would love to work alongside the gifted young women at Teen Voices. I am now 21 years old, but I remember happening across Teen Voices in my high school guidance office years ago; it was then that I realized that there was more to being a girl than doing your hair and talking endlessly about the Backstreet Boys. Teen Voices is an amazing venue for young women who want to explore real issues, which I respect and admire.
