Dear Sponsor,
It is such a great honour for me to be expressing my out most gratitude for this opportunity that you have given me to study at Waterford Kamhlaba, United World Colleges. I thank you for your support which has transformed my life, moved me a step closer to my dreams & became an eye opener to the diverse world that lay beyond my horizon.
When I first arrived at Waterford, I was stunned. I could not believe how welcoming & united the people are. The diversity is incredible. It has been amazing meeting new people & learning new things every day. The hiking, swimming and netball I play not only keep my body fit, but also refresh my mind. Studying at Waterford has been a great chance for me to express my compassion for the community and passion for music, theatre and the environment.
The Biology, Psychology, Chemistry and Mathematics I do every day are challenging, but they are definitely milestones towards my dreams. The community service & creativity I am doing here at Waterford are exposing me to how big & complex humanity is because for me to be called an "educated person" I have to be able to connect the things I learn in class to the reality around me to come up with profound ideas to solve problems.
I believe in education & its ability to transform lives, not only my life but the lives of people around me & the world at large. I intend to maintain my academic excellence as I firmly believe that my hard work and serious commitment to my studies can be used as a tool to bring about change in the world.
Yours faithfully
Mitchelle
