Dear SANRAL Committee,

Hello! My name is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, and I’m in the seventh grade at Kwasa College. I’m really excited to write to you because I’m applying for the SANRAL scholarship. This scholarship would help me learn so much more and have great experiences.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been very curious about how things work. I’m dreaming big because I want to be both an animator and a hotel owner! Isn’t that exciting? I started being fascinated by hotels in 2017. I think hotels are amazing because they’re places where people from all over the world come to stay, eat, and relax.

At school, my favorite subjects are Maths, Technology, and Creative Arts. Each of these subjects helps me with my dreams in different ways.

Maths is something I really enjoy because it involves solving problems, like putting pieces of a puzzle together. In animation, maths helps me figure out how things move and change. It’s also useful for running a hotel, as I will need maths to handle money, count rooms, and make sure everything is perfect for the guests.

Technology is another favorite because we use computers and other gadgets to create amazing animations. I want to learn how to design my own cartoons. Technology is also important for managing a hotel because it helps check guests in and out and keeps everything organized. I imagine using cool gadgets to make both career fields fun and efficient.

Creative Arts is where I let my imagination run free. I love drawing and painting because it feels like I’m bringing my ideas to life. In art, I create characters and worlds just like in my favorite movies. Creativity is important for making a hotel look and feel welcoming. Decorating a hotel with beautiful art and designs can make it a special place for visitors.

Outside school, I enjoy playing sports like soccer and basketball. Running around with my friends is very fun! Being part of a team teaches me how to be a good friend and work well with others. In both animation and managing a hotel, teamwork is very important because we all work together to achieve big goals.

My family is very special to me. They always tell me that education is important for reaching my dreams. They work hard to make sure I get a good education. I want to make them proud by doing my best in school. Getting the SANRAL scholarship would really help my family. It would let me focus on learning and help me go further towards my dreams without worrying so much about other stuff.

If I am lucky enough to get this scholarship, I could join special classes that teach me about my favorite subjects in fun and exciting ways. Imagine going on field trips where I could see how the things we learn in class happen in real life, just like the magic of cartoons and the fundamentals of hotels! Plus, I could get more books to read, which would help me discover new stories and learn more about animation.

I also enjoy helping in my community. I like doing small activities like  assisting at school events. It makes me feel happy because I know I’m helping make my community a better place. It teaches me that even little actions can make a big difference and shows how important it is to be kind and responsible.

I am really grateful for the chance to apply for the SANRAL scholarship. If I am chosen, I promise to work very hard and make the most out of this opportunity. I want to keep learning, growing, and becoming the best animator and hotel owner I can be. I hope to make everyone proud with what I can accomplish with your support.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and consider my application. I am really excited about the chance to be part of something special and use it to reach my goals and dreams.

With lots of excitement,

Mpilo Dlamini
