Dear President Ryan,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, and diversity. In these subjects or core values, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, have diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background,  a strong need for education reform to help improve learning, and many others.  President Ryan, the main reason, I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 9^th President of University of Virginia to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 9^th President of University of Virginia, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need for Civil Rights to be stronger to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities form being discriminated.  Expanding accommodations to help students with disabilities get help on learning like extra time on exams including using a recorder or educational software to help improve on comprehension, providing undergraduates who are low-income or who can’t afford tuition get scholarships to help get into college along with afford college along with textbooks including board, pushing for more tutoring services to provide students with help on their assignments from tutor, and implementing more arts, history, science, diversity, and basic introduction classes to help make education diverse is common sense for education reform.  To improve campus safety, I like on how you expand programs to help victims of sexual assaults get help on dealing with their trauma and push for educational awareness to help address the need to reduce bullying to help protect people who are different or come from different background. Another thing that I like about your work as President of University of Virginia is how you push for more diversity in the college by hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the campus, create volunteering services to allow students of University of Virginia to help their community on different things to improve the community, expand research programs to help get students engage in learning how different subjects can make a great impact on society, and implement recruitment programs to help encourage students who are minorities, women, immigrants and people with disabilities to get an education to improve diversity in college.  Besides your work as President of University of Virginia , I like on how you are a continuous strong advocate for Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights causes,  express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed, support the need to reduce tuition cost to help students afford college, and many others.

President Ryan, 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 along with an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On Youtube I enjoy watching “Getting to Know UVA President James E. Ryan” and “UVA President James E. Ryan: The Imperfect Pursuit of High Ideals” because I had fun learning about some of your goals on being President of University of Virginia, highlight the need for education reform along with diversity, and a strong need to reduce hate including bullying. Your role as an advocate for different causes and as 9^th President of University of Virginia gives me some 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 diversity to accept people from different background,  a strong need for education reform to improve learning, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in society, social justice, and education.  I’m very proud on how you  are working hard to support with advocate for civil rights, push for education reform, implement diversity, and many others. You have truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn more history, social justice, and diversity, and have an interest in learning about your work.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to make a great difference for society, education, social justice, and diversity.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
