ReynosoGrand Canyon UniversityDoctorate ProgramLetter of IntentNovember 24th, 2012Q: 1- What has motivated you to achieve a Doctoral degree?The constant demand of an ever expanding field of education motivated me to further add more to my education. A doctoral program revolves around constant research and consistent effort. My humble upbringing in Mexico instilled in me respect for hard work and sincerity. That is the need of the hour here in United States today to accept the challenges of ever changing face of education. The unlimited experimentation to target the weaker sections, especially in the state of Arizona further motivated me to achieve a Doctoral degree. The higher we go in educational goal, the humbler we can get in providing service to the community and share the knowledge among the members of the community.
I have never attended a major university in the United States. I attended a few as they considered it better to enroll in one or the other. There I have also seen what it will take to get one’s academic training, knowledge, tools and the ability to apply them to their work. While studying at the California University of Technology the only thing that I could think of that I really needed was to get to college… for my PhD.I would like to take this opportunity to say for now that my work experiences have made me a better human being and man. For those who do not have experience, this does go to show that to be an artist or musician is to have some level of emotional stability. I am proud to say that even though my life and work has not improved, I am still a better person and a better person compared to before I had all the experience, everything and everything within me.The passion and desire for what I was after for my students is truly contagious, which is why I have been studying since a little over a year ago. As time has gone on to improve for more and more students that will have the opportunity to continue to pursue such an impressive course, the possibilities are there and I have come to understand our journey and our future. I want everyone there to know we are still learning, still being challenged by the demands of day to day life. We continue to be able to learn, to know each other very well, to play our parts, we remain friends, we strive to achieve the same in life and in this world when every day matters.I have been inspired to be here. I’m still learning and thinking. I am still trying to find opportunities to learn new skills and to do more with my life. I hope this project can change my life and not leave me like some could.It is what it is. It is really great to learn more about what you are learning and what you need you to do. I can honestly say that I am getting far closer to getting here. I was actually very proud because I met my new neighbors and my brother and other teachers. To take the initiative and challenge ourselves and bring awareness to some of the things we were once known for. We did have a great time coming to meet the teachers and the parents. It was a really nice day. I feel like we’re not really taking any risks and that we truly have the tools that we need to make good decisions. I am happy to be here with my new home in a nice neighborhood. I hope that this project can change the lives of others and be truly unique.Now to see you at Penn, I hope that your work inspires you to stay on track and try and give back to Penn and all of our students. I wish you all something that you will cherish and will show love for our country together in the future.For more information on the program and related projects, visit the Penn Graduate Student Life Website.

Q: 2- What do you envision to do differently when your degree is complete?I envisage to provide opportunities to one and all, explore better avenues and modus operandi to target goals and apply research based strategies and skills to enhance work equilibrium among the staff and members of the district. I also teach citizenship classes to the community members. I envision inspiring them to achieve higher goals. My position as vice-principal will come in handy to give shapes to my dreams of having highly skilled and well-educated community. All this can be possible when I am able to prove my mettle in this program through sheer hard-work. Incorporating research based teaching strategy will be my main focus.
Q: 3- How will you dedicate the time and effort to be successful?I am devoted to the cause of education a one hundred percent. Time and effort will reflect in my each decision. The ability to distribute the tasks based on priority and demand has always been my main forte. It will become important to set realistic achievable goals based on the new learning (in Doctorate program). Task analysis can be laborious based on short or long term goals. Team work is essential to be successful. So I will see to it that the time and effort that I will put in assigning roles and tasks fulfill the demand and set high goal.
