Writing Feedback / Gay marriage should not be legalized because it destroys the meaning of family [3]

I used to be closed-minded about gays. But after I realized that there are really, really important things as corruption in our government, I saw we are all in the same boat. No matter your sexual orientation, all that matter is that we have to be united to contruct a better world. It is not sexual orientation what make a good o bad person but the ideas. All depends on education, please take it in consideration, as well as heterosexual couples can be good parents there are heterosexual couples than are bad parents, some even rape their daugthers. The sexual orientation is not the issue to address, it is the culture as whole. Gay parents can be very supportive parents I guess, since they are not able to conceive naturally I think they would really appreciate to have a children and would give anything to rase him/her well (there are also exeptions).

I am straigth (and I really like girls more than you can't imagine) but for me is OK that gays marry or do whatever they want since they are not hurting or annoying anyone else.

Undergraduate / (Renaissance style education / communication and organization / DHC) - DAVIS HONOR [2]

" I have diverse interests that vary from orchestra performance to social work and healthcare to biological research."

It could show that you want to know about everything but nothing concrete, even if you specify afterwards. How is orchestra perfomance related to become a successful neurosurgeon?

The first impression is still more important. In my opinion you can say:

I have diverse interests that include social work, healthcare and biological research."

"I have only one set goal in mind- become a passionate neurosurgeon whose mind has enriched by the broadest possible social, cultural, and historical perspective. I intend to be exposed to a wide, sensitizing view of the human condition in order to expand my horizons and develop into a well-rounded, Renaissance person devoted to human suffering"

Avoid to be verbose. Be direct and add only two max three adjectives. It difficults the reading.

"I expect myself explore my undergraduate education in every aspect possible. As a premed student, I am aware of the tasks I will encounter and the skills I must have to resolve them. I am able to envision myself to become an academically prepared through taking the honor sections and courses. Moreover, I will also become more collaborative and well-informed with the broad range of topics that will be conduct in the seminar. Through participating in the Davis Honors Challenge, I believe this will help me achieve my personal goal and prepare me to achieve even greater goals."

I expect, I am, I will, I must, I am, I will, I believe. Be more fluent using cause-effect connectors.

Cheers

Letters / 'eager to' - Letter of recommendation of my former professor to apply to Scholarship [2]

Bucaramanga Mayo 6 de 2012

To The Fulbright Commission.

I am writing with great pleasure to recommend Mr. Julian Gonzalez for the application to the Fulbright Commission Scholarship Program.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Julian Gonzalez during the last six years. I worked closely with him on his Thesis Project in his last undergraduate year. During that time he demonstrated a strong commitment to the enhancement of his software development skills and the use of technologies for education and the research fields.

I came to know him in the second academic period of 2005 while teaching the Electromagnetisms class. His desire for learning and passion for the physics called my attention and I invited him to join our weekly Astronomy seminar in the Halley Center Group where he participated energetically as part of his extracurricular activities complemented with his participation in the taekwondo team. He first joined our Astronomy meetings as an attendee and afterwards as a speaker. Soon his desire for a challenging opportunity to help to improve the learning experience of other students in our department applying computer programs, lead me to assign him the development of a special project that would give to postgraduate students the tool necessary to conduct measurements in a nanometric scale in 3D.

Julian shown a high performance in the development of this project, participated actively, suggested changes that improved the initial requirements and exhibited highly valuable characteristics as independence, drive and leadership.

The product he and his partner developed now is a valuable tool in our laboratory and, as his Thesis, it got a perfect score of 5.0.

Julian is a hard worker with a good attitude and gentle, earnest spirit. He is always eager to learn and teach. Our society needs more people like Julian, those who are committed to being competent and caring, and whose studies will make a difference in the future. I recommend him highly.

Sincerely,
