1ADMISSION LETTER
I had been into social work for as long as I can remember, as I find happiness in helping
people to prosper in their lives. It might be attributed to my parents as they have always taught
me to help others with all the energy within me. Human lives are associated with the society and
every society has its norms to maintain the balance. My parents further taught me that humanity
comes before all and our responsibility is to protect it and bring others back on track, whoever
has lost their way from it.
I can attribute my decision of learning law to a volunteer activity I participated in the
recent years. I worked in an orphanage for a certain period of time of my life that made me
realize need of constitutional policy implementation in the ground level. The orphanage was
filled with the children between the age group 0 to 6 years. Working with children was both
incredible and harsh experience as our service can never fill the gap of parents in their lives.
Though the constitution properly states the policies on discrimination based on race, ethnicity or
any possible factors, I evidenced its presence in the orphanage. The first criteria the parents
possess in their mind are the ethnicity and race of the child. It leaves out some of the children
orphans for their entire lives. The orphanages on the other hand prioritise the children that are
likely to be adopted in near future and leave the rest unattained for the most of the time.
I kept my self involved in various activities to help the people around me. For instance, I
enrolled myself in the volunteer activity in school. I taught my classmates who required extra
care in the algebra 2. This activity offered me 25 volunteer hours. I further worked as a waitress
in an Italian restaurant from July to October this year for earning money for survival. I later quit
that job and worked as an Albanian interpreter, which I continued for only a month as it left me
with little time to focus on my academics that I prioritise.

2ADMISSION LETTER
I accumulated 3.607 GPA score from my previous course. I further accumulated 6.00
score from after care, 25.00 from volunteer tutor and 2.50 school even helper. Now I desire to
study law from Montclair State University. It had been my target to get admission into your
institution from the time I decided to continue my carrier as a lawyer. The innovative course
structure that pushes the boundaries of the students to relate the learning with the practical
example is a fine way to indentify the level of learning one have received from the class. This
fact strongly attracts me for selecting Montclair above all other universities.
As a student, I personally feel that this exposure can completely prepare me for the real
world challenge that will come after the completion of the course. The course structure will
further provide me enough time to use the learning I will be receiving into the practical.
Montclair is the perfect place for me to sharpen the previously gained knowledge and enrich it
with new ones that will help me in the course.
