Throughout elementary, middle school, high school, and college I have found myself to be very imaginative and come up with some interesting things to write about. In high school we had to take the taks test and the english part was the easiest for me because we had to write a story on a certain prompt that was given to us. It would take me about five minutes to come up with what I was going to write about and after that I was off writing a story and the only problem I had was ending the story because I could go on and on. As good as a writer that I thought I was, I found out after taking this class that there was still alot that I didn't know and need to learn.

The First assignment was the resume and application letter which was very tough for me to do because I had never written up a resume or sent in and application letter so I had no idea what needed to be put into them. What helped out was being able to do a rough draft and post it to my business team members and have the read and revise which I thought was a big help and got to know alot more about what need to be in them. Next assignment was the persuasive letter which came very easy to me because I had many opinions of changes that should be made at my job. I was able to come up with a very persuasive letter to send to my boss in which I think that if he were to read it, he would easily agree and make the changes.
The third assignment was the case analysis report and powerpoint. This was a interesting assignment because it tought me how to write a good research paper and also how to create a powerpoint to go along with it.

After taking this class I have learned how to apply my skills in life and as a writer to create resumes, application letters, persuasive letters and case studies and powerpoints. I have also learned that it is very important to make rough drafts and get other peoples opinions on my writings. If I hadn't of gotten revision, my papers would not have been as good.

I would like to thank the members of my business team and Dr. Evelyn Posey for helping me become a better writer which I will need later on in life when entering the business world.

Dear El Paso Country Club:

I have recently read that you are in search of an assistant golf professional. As you will see by looking at my résumé, I have the right education and the experience to work in the golf business.

All my life I have grown up around a golf environment and have family members involved in the golf business. They have taught me every aspect of the business such as working as a bag boy, and working in the pro shop. Right now I am playing on the UTEP golf team which also shows that I am very knowledgable towards the game of golf. I have had many wins as a junior which propelled me to play at a collegiate level.

I welcome the opportunity to work for El Paso Country Club and I hope you will take into consideration my application and résumé when choosing for the position.

Sincerely,
