Dear Staff,

I have always been very artistically inclined, visual arts, dance, singing, creative writing, and acting are all things I naturally excelled in and pursued from an early age. Dancing dominated my life from middle school till today. I am attending Cornish College of the Arts and I need part time employment to help support my schooling. I am very friendly and I know I would be an asset to your company as a part time instructor. I am available evenings, Sunday and some Saturdays. I work well with children. As a freshman in High School, I worked with dance students at a local elementary school. I assisted in class and helped choreograph pieces. I also worked with students assisting my mother in her studio art classes.

Thanks for your time,

Lathan Wood
