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

In your current role as 9^th President of Texas State University, I like on how you are a strong supporter and advocate of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination in order to protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities.  .  Also to improve civil rights, I like on how you work to expand rules to combat against bully and harassment. Supporting accommodations to help students with disabilities like extra time on exams or use educational software to help improve comprehension, expanding tutoring services to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors, implementing more liberal arts, arts, humanities, history, and basic classes to make education diverse along with make more opportunities for students to find subjects that they want to learn are great ways to improve education reform.  On diversity, I like on how you work on hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the college and expand on programs to help educate staff members and students about different cultures along with the need for diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background. Another thing that I like about your work as President of Texas State University is how you expand on more research programs to help students get engage to learn how different topics can make a great difference for society, push for more scholarships to help low income students or minorities get assistance on getting into college or affording supplies, and heavily express the need to reduce high tuition cost to help students from paying high costs in order to get a college.  I liked on how you had the courage to implement a resource center to help DACA students to get assistance on education including some form of scholarships when the political system is not in favor of immigration reform.  Besides your work as President of Texas State University on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights causes, advocate for environmental protection to reduce pollution, emphasize the need for more liberal arts in colleges, and express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants, dreamers, and refugees from being oppressed.

President Trauth, 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 causes really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On Youtube, I enjoy watching videos of you speaking about the need for education reform, diversity, and many other ideas to improve education.  Your role as 9^th President of Texas State University gives me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, diversity, and the environment. my future goal is to work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution,  have diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference. I’m very proud on how you support civil rights, push for education reform, expand on diversity, support social justice, and many others. Also I liked on how you had the courage to expand resources to help immigrants including DACA students get help.  You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work, and continue to learn different subjects.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to work hard to make a great difference for society and education.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
