Subject: Introduction Letter- Aravindha Kumar CVE
Dear Professor Blackstone,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Aravindha Kumar, but you can address me as Aravin. I am currently enrolled in your critical thinking class and writing to introduce myself, share my path into Civil Engineering, and reflect on my strengths and weaknesses.
I am a first-year civil engineering student, and my passion for this field began during my secondary school years when I became fascinated with transforming two-dimensional designs into real, remarkable structures. The construction of iconic buildings like the Burj Khalifa sparked my curiosity and motivated me to pursue this career path. I believe Civil Engineering combines creativity, technical expertise, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the built environment.
My strengths include being a collaborative team player, demonstrating patience in problem-solving, and embracing creativity. However, I recognize my weaknesses in public speaking and initiating conversations with new people. To overcome these, I have taken a part-time job in customer service, where I regularly interact with customers, and I actively participate in group presentations to improve my confidence.
Additionally, I pride myself on my willingness to learn. I seek opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills, which I believe will enhance my studies and future career in civil engineering. Outside of my academic and professional goals, I enjoy traveling and making videos because these hobbies help me see things from new perspectives, capture special moments, and keep learning new things.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to learning from your class and applying these skills to my professional and personal growth.
Best regards,Aravindha Kumar

To Aravind:
ReplyDeleteI have read your letter and am glad that you chose civil engineer because of passion. I am also inclined to do what I am interested in as I will not find it mundane to do our job which will directly affect job performance as well. I also found out that you are constantly overcoming your weakness of "initiating conservation with others". It is very admirable that you try to overcome it and not staying away from it as it takes a lot of effort to take the first step!

Dear Aravin,
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of great comments for you!
Thank you for this clear and detailed letter, which addresses all the points of the brief. I enjoyed learning about how your interest in engineering started. You also do a fine job discussing how you're attracted to a career that focuses on "creativity, technical expertise, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the built environment."
You also share something about your comm skills levels and discuss your job in customer service. I'm impressed by your motivation for more breadth of experience.
One thing to take note of is that you overuse capital letters: "a first-year Civil Engineering student" and "Critical Thinking class" are two examples.
I look forward to working with you more this term.
Best wishes,
Brad
