Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Carrie Snyder and I am a student at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Enclosed, please find my application for admission to your Marine-Biology program, as well as my student resume, which presents my extracurricular activities and academic achievements as a high school student.

I have been a cheerleader since the age of 5, and I am also very interested in continuing my cheer career at H-PU. I have experience cheering for All-Star squads and have been active on the Kempsville Competitive Cheer Squad ever since my Freshman year as well as the Varsity team for the last 2 years. I am an excellent tumbler (the best on my team) and would be very interested in pursuing a cheer scholarship.

I also have connections to Hawaii, since my grandparents were born and raised there, my father was born there and I have a small percentage of Hawaiian blood. I would love to learn more about my heritage as a Hawaii-Pacific University student. As a mixed Asian (Pacific-Islander) and Caucasian (Pennsylvania Dutch/German/English/American Indian) student. I could add to the diversity of the HPU campus.

Please review my enclosed admissions packet for your consideration.

Very Respectfully,

Carrie Allison “Allie” Snyder
