To whom it may concern,
My name is Amanda Jenkins and I am a graduate of Newbury High School. I recently graduated in 2019 was on the school's honor roll.
I have always believed in the power for education to change people's lives and have a keen interest in STEM subjects. As a girl, I know we are under represented in this field but I want to purse a career in advanced mathematics and prove so many people wrong.
I have a dream of working in NASA one day and support the great work done by our brave astronauts. As a young girl, I remember visiting NASA in Houston and being mesmerized by what I saw.
Apart from this, I was an active cheerleader in our school and even played in our school's table tennis team. On the side, I began to work in a local shop to make up some savings and contribute towards my college fund.
I believe my hard work, determination, experience, education and dreams sets me apart from the other school graduates.
