Dear Ms. Anita,
It is a pleasure to finally meet one of the members of the UPAABC. But before I provide the requested information below, I just want to say, thank you. I've tried to get your contact information before when I was still an undergraduate with no success due to confidentiality reasons. Which is why I'm genuinely glad I am now able to talk to you. Though this thank you letter may be almost a year late, I hope you'd still accept my most sincere gratitude to your organization for unselfishly supporting my educational endeavors during college. This scholarship had been a key driver for me to focus more on my studies and had been a source of joy that I am able to ease the financial burden of my family. Since then, I've been sharing with my friends that money should never be a hindrance in pursuing their studies because there are people like you who are more than willing to help students like us, if we will just take the initiative to find a scholarship. With that, thank you for accepting my application four years ago.
As per your request, I finished Business Administration last year as Cum Laude of our batch. I don't have my records (for the cumulative average) right now as I'm in the office, but my average for my last year in college based on my CRS record is 1.27. I live at 34 Fisheries st. Vasra, Quezon City. I finished my high school at Quezon City Science High School in 2012. My hobbies include writing, reading books, playing instruments, baking, photography, and calligraphy. I am also one of the youth leaders in our church. As for the extra curricular involvement I had during college, I was affiliated with UP Association of Business Administration Majors, UP Circle of Entrepreneurs, UP Career Assistance Program and UP Business Administration Council. I am now working as a Sales and Marketing Executive in Azeus Systems Ltd., a software company. It's funny how I got assigned to handle Canada as my market to do campaigns. If only I believe in serendipity, I might say that being a British Columbia Scholar is a premonition that my work will be related to Canada as well. You also asked about my dream job, which I believe you might have directed to undergraduate scholars, but I'll answer it anyway. I dream to be an entrepreneur. I was hoping to earn enough capital someday and start my own business, a restaurant to be exact. As for now, it's just a possibility. Regarding my contact information, you may reach me through this email address or skype using this number: 0927 852 4809.
I have attached here photos of me during my graduation, some are photos with my friends during our org activities, and others are pictures of us after business case presentations. I'll try to send the video file next week Monday, Feb 20, at the latest.
Now if it is not too much of a hassle, may I know if you have any other initiatives that help students in their educational endeavors that do not require monetary donations? Like events that need volunteers probably? I'd be glad to participate in such.
Again, thank you Ms. Anita and the rest of the team/organization. May God continually bless the works of UPAABC.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Josh
