Letters / "discovering the talents I possess" - Writing a cover letter. [4]
Hello there,
This is my first, and hopefully not last, day in the forum. I came across it by Googling help on writing a cover letter.
We were assigned to write an essay about our writing process. I am done with the essay and I believe it is okay for a freshman. I could post it here upon your request. Right now I am in the phase of writing a cover letter to my professor that I'll attach to my essay. It's mainly to describe what happened during the process of my writing; events, incidents, difficulties, etc. that took place.
I am not sure how to start, but this is what I've written so far:
" Dear Dr. Troy:
This letter includes details about the procedures, events, and incidents that took place during the process of my writing of the essay. It has been easy at times and hard at others, but in the end I sure hope I wrote an essay that will give you suffice information about my writing process and me in general. I cannot deny the fact that this has been an interesting essay and gave me the opportunity to start thinking deeply and discover things about me that I did not know of beforehand. .... "
Any help would be appreciated. I'm the type of people who seek the starting point and then everything becomes as easy as pie.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT: I actually got myself together and completed it (supposedly).
"The first week was the easiest. I was very interested in discovering the talents I possess. That may seem like a weird statement, but it is true. There are a lot of things I don't know about myself, and this essay handed me the key to opening up and discovering more. I started out by listing ideas in bullet-point format, hoping to use and develop some of them into body paragraphs later in the essay - and that's exactly what happened.
The second and final week got a little tougher at first. Enough time is the key to a well-structured, organized essay, but I unfortunately lack the sense of time. I wrote around a page and a half in the first week, and I was happy, and that led to me getting lazy. Several mid-terms in other courses also played a role in me forgetting about the essay for a while. In the middle of the final week, it was about time to complete the essay, and the deadline was like a pain in the butt. I'm not the type of people who just like to wrap up and deliver, but I'm a perfectionist and by time I realized that being so is not very great. However, I also am the type of people who can write a three-page essay in just thirty minutes if I am interested in it and have a clear mind - that wasn't the case with this essay, though. But in the end I stepped up and finished it, and I am confident that it is going to satisfy your eager-to-find-out needs.
Finally, I would like to thank you for such a wonderful topic to write about, and I am confident that most of my class mates feel the same way. I didn't write it just for the grade, but also for the self-discovery. I'm sure I am going to keep this essay with me for a long time, in order to compare between myself now and myself in ten years in case I become a writer or so."
What do you think?
