Letter of Intent

Dear Internship Coordinator,


At Rider University, I am working to major in Psychology and Education. I want to work with children in a counseling setting. I already have some experience in this field, in high school through community service, as well as Child Development classes. I participated in Peer Leadership where I mentored Underclassmen. In Peer Leadership we taught underclassmen how to be a leader and make the right decisions. I also did “peer evaluations” dealing with social issues and bullying as well as drugs and alcohol. I served as a tutor to Junior’s for their HSPA tests. Not only did I participate in school mentoring but I also volunteered as a camp counselor in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for children ranging from the ages of two and eight years old. While volunteering as a camp counselor, I provided leadership to the children and held responsibility for their actions in camp the camp. I also instructed the children how to play tennis which forced me to use my listening and communication skills. Through these processes I have picked up on many skills; good listening, communication, leadership, and patience. These experiences have molded me into a well-educated individual, obtaining to my future goals.

While reviewing my resume, you will find that I am, determined, socially active, comprehensive, and warm-hearted. I believe that an internship in a psychological or educational field will help expand my horizons and help me put my accomplishments to work. It would be greatly appreciated for you to contact me if you hold interest after reviewing my blog.

Sincerely,
Danielle Peterson
