President of Kansas State University

Kansas State University

Manhattan, KS 66506
Dear General Myers,
My name
is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in
learning history, social justice, and diversity. In these core values or
subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce
discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others.
General Myers, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I
find your work when you served as 15th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and as current 14th President of Kansas State University to
be very inspiring to me.
When you served
as 15th Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff from 2001-2005, I truly appreciated on how you were a strong
supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights
and working to support ideas to help combat against discrimination in the
military to help protect women,
minorities, and immigrants. Supporting
more training programs to help train U.S. troops to help prepare for combat and
working with companies to find ways to improve gear, military technology
including armor to help protect troops while protect their safety is common
sense to improve the military. Another
thing that I liked about your work when you served as Chairman of the Joints
Chiefs of Staff was how you were a strong advocate for the need for a G.I. Bill
to help veterans including U.S. troops get assistance on getting an education,
jobs, and healthcare. Also in November
2005, I was proud on how you received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from
President George W. Bush for your commitment to help our troops and working to
help women, minorities, immigrants, and people with disabilities. After you
left your role as 15th Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, I
really like on how you continue to advocate for Civil Rights including people
with disabilities’ rights, express the importance of the need for military
reform to help improve safety for the troops, encourage a strong need to combat
against climate change, heavily support causes to help veterans including U.S.
troops get healthcare, and support the idea of immigration reform to help
protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed. In
your current role as President of Kansas State University, I really like on how
you are continuing to support along with advocate for Civil Rights and working
to find ways to make K-State University to reduce discrimination. On education reform, I liked on how you
expanded more Liberal Arts classes (arts, humanities, history, and diversity,
some basic classes) to help make education diverse, provided accommodations
like extra time on exams or have educational software to help improve
comprehension to help students with disabilities get help on learning, and
implemented more military history classes to help educate students about the
history of the military. Another thing that I like about your role as
President of Kansas State University is
how you work on hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work
for the college to improve diversity and team up with different student
organizations including faculties to find ways to make K-State University a
great learning place while accept people who are different including
immigrants, and push for scholarships to help people who are low-income or high
school graduates afford to get into a college.
General
Myers, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard
for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects,
sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of
Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to
work hard on m disability. Also your role as 15th Chairman of the
Joints Chiefs of Staff and as President o Kansas State University helps me
continue my motivation to continue to learn history, diversity and social
justice. My future goal is to someday
work in these areas to help emphasize the need for Civil Rights to remain
stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, improve
social justice to make communities safe, and a strong need for diversity to
help accept people who are different or come from a different background.
I strongly
believe that you made a great difference when you served our country. Also I’m proud on how you worked hard to help
our troops get the care they need, support with advocate for Civil Rights,
express the need for immigration reform, and many others. You have inspired me to work hard on my
disability, learn more about your work in the military including your work as
current President of Kansas State University, and be motivated to continue to
learn history, social justice, and diversity. Thanks for taking the time to
read my letter, doing an excellent job working hard to improve society
including the U.S. military, and inspiring me.
I have provided you an essay about Dwight D. Eisenhower that I
wrote when I took an 20th
Century History class at Washtenaw Community College as a gift to you for
inspiring me along with a picture of me.
I wish you the best to continue to push for common sense ideas.
Sincerely,
Matt Winick
