To whom it may concern,

I would like to apply for a position in selling the shoes and products at Foot Locker that I came across at your website footlocker.com. I have played basketball and football all of my life and when it comes to equipment such as shoes I know what kinds are the best. I am applying for this job simply to make extra money before my first year of college.

As a sophomore at Roosevelt High School I was nominated to be in the CHSSA leadership program. Throughout High School I managed to maintain a 3.3 G.P.A and have been on the honor roll as well. I have been responsible enough to stay on top of my grades and school work which also brought me two academic all state 1^st team honors in both football and basketball. I will be attending college in the fall of 2011 and also will be playing in basketball tournaments in the Bahamas and in Illinois. All these activities require a lot of money and I feel that Foot Locker can help me achieve my goal of making enough money that will allow me to go on a trip of a lifetime.

As I have already said I have played sports my whole life. In football and basketball I learned how to be a leader and it made me incredibly disciplined. I know that I am a good leader and can get along with my working partners as well. In this I have also gained good social skills that will be to my benefit. As you can see from my resume, I have been working on a farm for about two years now. This job made me achieve a toughness that I didn’t have before that prepared me for the real world. Along with leading I am also capable of following and willing to learn anything new. In my second job that I had I worked for the Town of Milliken. In this environment I was the new guy and had to learn to follow before I could be a leader.

Thank you for your time and consideration in my interest in working for Foot Locker. I would also like to thank you for the great work that every employee does every time I am in the store. I am ready for an immediate interview. You are able to contact me at 970-324-6226 after 6:00 p.m. to set up a time convenient for you or at my email samhardy_9@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Sam Hardy

            I feel that are many reasons as to why it is important for me to go to college. I would be the first person in my family and I take that as a huge honour. I feel that I am in a position to make my family proud and I cannot let them down. I want to show them that I am a leader and can be a successful person by using my education to achieve greatness. College is even more important to me because I want to be successful and have an incredible future that I can be proud of and be a prime example of what I want my kids to be. I want to be the dad that can stand tall when my kids ask where I work and I know by going to a college to further my education I know I can be the outstanding person I want to be. I know what I want to major in and I am organized as far as continuing my education. I can be an athletic trainer by going to college and I also know that I can receive the proper training that I need to be elite at what I do. By going to college I will be accomplishing so much more than anyone thought I could. I would be quieting all the people that said I wouldn’t amount to nothing and that there was no way that a Hispanic boy could come out of a small town and be successful. I would be breaking through all this adversity and achieving a lifelong goal that I would forever be proud of.
