review Letter of continued interest 
Dear <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,  

I am writing to express my keen interest in Sigbots Robotic program at Purdue University. As a current high school student, I have always been passionate about mathematics, particularly in the context of mechanical engineering. I believe that the Purdue University would provide me with the perfect opportunity to further develop my skills and gain a competitive edge in my future academic pursuits.
My firsthand experience with the value of mathematics came from my involvement in the VRC VEX Robotics STEM program, to which I devoted myself wholeheartedly. Through this program, I aimed to prove to myself and others that I could be one of the best in Indiana – a goal that quickly evolved into becoming one of the best in the world. I am proud to say that I achieved 7th place finish at the VRC VEX Robotics World Championship, where my fully autonomous robot program demonstrated a “perfect” run. This accomplishment reinforced the importance of mathematics in my life and my desire to pursue it and mechanical engineering.
I am always eager to take on challenging tasks, and the Sigbots Robotic program caught my eye as an opportunity to learn alongside like-minded individuals. I have been encouraged by nearly a dozen different Purdue University graduates, who are parents of children in the VEX Robotics program, that state that I have the mindset and characteristics of a “Purdue University graduates.” Purdue University notified me, stating “that I am on the waiting list.” I have written a letter to appeal the decision and am awaiting the review.

In my relatively short time, I have accomplished a great deal, such as achieving 7th in the world in VEX Robotics and becoming a concert-level harpist with over 11 years of experience, tested by the (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) ABRSM, receiving distinction. I also have secured two internships to complete while attending Marian University, taking 13 credit hours of dual college classes. In cross country, I achieved Rookie of the Year, and in track and field, I am the second-fastest runner on the Indy Genesis team, lagging by less than one second. I am taking Taekwondo classes, in which I have advanced through ten rankings within six months. I hope it conveys that I enjoy learning and put my heart into everything I do.

My counselor/adviser directed me to mentor VRC VEX Robotic teams. I advised 5 different teams. My Counselor/Adviser was working with my time management and leadership skills. I am very proud to say all five teams that I was guiding made it to worlds.
I believe learned a lot about serving others from my 10 yrs. in Trail Life with well over 500 hrs. community service hours. Achieving almost all the levels the troops offered.
 
I am always eager to learn new things and take on new challenging things especially in hands on mechanical engineering. I believe Purdue being one of the top engineering schools in the country will help me achieve my goals in machinal engineering.

I have also secured 2 different internships one is 6 weeks long starting this May the other is a long-term internship started in March 2023. Also, I currently secured a $20,000 Scholarship 

I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for considering my request. If you would like a letter from my counselor/adviser, he would be happy to send you one.

Sincerely,
<PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>
