Dear Ms. Sweem:
Please accept this letter as an expression of my interest for the 2015
Globalinks summer internship program in Valencia, Spain. Included in
this letter is a description of my experience and education and skill set.
My contact information and a more detailed summary of my experience
can be found on my personal Weebly account at
kenbayer.weebly.com.
Academically, I am a sophomore in Arizona State Universitys Barretts
Honors College. My major course of study is Early Childhood
Educations/Special Education and I am pursuing a minor in Spanish. I
maintain a 3.9 grade point average and have been involved in a number
of philanthropic events through various organizations.
Outside my university studies, I continue to obtain applicable experience
that will be useful as an internship program participant. Currently, I am
employed as a tutor in the areas of math and reading at a local branch
of the Kumon After-School Learning Program. As a program tutor, I work
closely with the Sight Manager in student evaluation, individualized
instruction strategies, and content to accommodate a wide range of
students with varied backgrounds and social/academic needs.
Additionally, I work as an administrative aide for a 4th grade teacher
helping with project grading, lesson planning/preparation and
maintenance of student data. Outside of these part-time jobs, I recently
completed a one-year internship with Future for Kids, a Tempe, AZ based
non-profit organization specializing in supporting the success of at-risk
youth through academics, athletics and ethics. As an internship
participant, I was responsible for implementation of an afterschool
program for elementary aged children who were susceptible to gang
affiliation and/or eventual dropout. My work included creating lessons
and activities, role modeling, conflict resolution, and exposure to a
variety of behavioral problems. This past semester, I also volunteered
Bayer1

as a Teaching Assistant/Intern in a 3rd grade class of a lower-income

elementary school in Phoenix, AZ whereby I acquired additional
experience working one-on-one with students in particular areas of
struggle. Aside from the skills I have gained from my combined
experience and education I also possess other various attributes which I
believe will aid my in this position. These include:

Knowledge of early childhood development

Proficiency in lesson planning and preparation
Computer literacy
Conversational skills in Spanish
Aptitude for art

Through my formal education, part-time employment and volunteer

work Ive solidified my desire to be an educator. More specifically,
however, I developed a passion for working with students of varying
backgrounds, ethnicities, and struggles in the area of social
opportunities. I believe I have the unique personality, patience, and
developing skill set required for this line of work and look forward to the
opportunity to share my experience and continue my professional
growth through you internship program. Particularly, I am interested in
Globalinks Valencia Spain program whereby I can continue to combine
my early childhood education experience and Spanish speaking skills. I
appreciate your consideration and look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Kendall R. Bayer
