Dear President Tessier-Lavigne,
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,
have diversity to help accept people who are different or come from
different background, have education
reform to make learning a better tool for society, and many others. President
Tessier-Lavigne, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I
find your work as 11th President of Stanford University to be very
inspiring to me.
In your current role as President of
Stanford University, I like on how you are a strong supporter along with an
advocate of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and
working to make Stanford University a better place to reduce discrimination to
help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities. Provide
accommodations to students with disabilities to help assist them on learning
like extra time on exams or have educational software to help them improve
comprehension, implement more tutoring services to provide students with help
on their assignments from tutors, and expand more liberal arts classes (arts,
history, humanities, and basic classes) to help make education diverse common
sense for education reform. Another thing
that I like about your work as President of Stanford University is how you
support hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the
college, support expanding on more research programs in science, medicine, and
environmental to find ways to use them to help improve society, and continue to
provide scholarships to help students who come from low-income families or who
can’t afford tuition or have supplies for their classes, advocate for
immigration reform to help immigrants, dreamers, or refugees from being
oppressed while help give them an opportunity to get an education. Also I like about how you give speeches like
emphasizing the need for more diversity in society including education to help
accept people who are different or come from a different background, a strong
need for more research programs to help find ways to turn learning different
subjects to help make an impact on society, and strongly express the importance
of reducing bullying including bigotry.
President Tessier-Lavigne, 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 my disability. Also
your role as President of Stanford University gives me motivation to continue
to learn history, social justice, and diversity. My future goal is to someday
work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to
reduce discrimination, have education reform to make learning a better tool,
have diversity to help accept people who are different or come from a different
background, and many others.
I strongly believe that you are making
a great difference in society, diversity, and education. I’m very proud on how
you are working hard to support with
advocate for Civil Rights, push for education reform, and many others. You have inspired me to work
hard on my disability and to continue to learn history including social justice
and diversity. I was wondering if you could please share with me what it is
like being President of Stanford University.
Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to improve
society, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to make a great
impact on society.
Sincerely,
Matt Winick
