Dear Mr. Gerges,
My name is John Jiang. As a sincere candidate from China, I would like to beg you for a precious opportunity to go further academic study at your esteemed high school this fall. Seeing the final deadline April 10, 2015 approaching up, I wish I could come out of waiting list and become a member of your honorable school community.
To be honest, I had never been aware of the importance of choosing a school suitable for me before I was transferred to Keystone Academy Beijing from Beijing International Bilingual Academy (BIBA).
By my graduation in Grade 8, I could have choices of applying for studying at an American high school. In fact, I chose to apply for studying at Keystone Academy Beijing instead of studying in America, because my parents told me the academy possessed the educational pattern similar to American education system and its core management team originated from American top boarding schools; in addition, my parents thought it would be better for me to study in China than to engage in my academics in America after they considered the educational system in Keystone Academy Beijing as well as my age. As a result, I applied to Keystone Academy Beijing for further academic study. In 2014, I got the acceptance letter from the academy by virtue of my excellent performance in academic study. What’s more, I was awarded the first Founder Scholarship at Keystone Academy Beijing. At the initial stage for me to study in the academy, I seemed a little bit inactive in getting involvement with some intramural activities under the bad effect of my digestive discomfort that started from my summer traveling in 2014. Even if I got an upset stomach, I still did my best to conquer the pain resulted from the digestive discomfort. Although all the students in the academy are not grouped according to their respective academic ability, I have kept communicating with my teachers and classmates about increasing the academic difficulty properly. No matter whether I’m in class or not, I often do what I can to help my classmates improve their academic in hope that they could catch up with me; however, they don’t think I offer them help but show off myself. As a result, what I can do is to hide in the corner and keep silent. Due to my relatively inactive classroom participation, my teachers had a conversation with me. Actually, I have never lost the heart of getting ready to help others. I just want to protect myself from others’ misunderstanding by keeping silent. Knowing my desire for higher academic level can’t be met within short period, my parents and I decided to apply for studying in America.
