Dear Mr. & Mrs. Aquino,

Good day my dear parents! Back when I was in grade school I know Ive told you both that when I grow up I want to be a pastry chef and I would want to own a bakery/pastry shop. Few years have gone by, I have finally found what I really love doing and would want to pursue after finishing high school. As you may not know, I would want to be a web developer/software engineer/programmer one day. In order for me to fulfill this dream of mine, I would want to study in a university wherein I would be able to know more about technology and its various aspects. I have chosen three schools that I know has a great curriculum for my preferred courses which are De La Salle University, De La Salle-College of St. Benilde and Ateneo De Manila University. Like all other kids in my age, we all have our own dream schools and my dream school is De La Salle University. I have been dream ing to go there since I was 11. Im saying this because out of the three schools I chose, I really want to go to De La Salle University. I believe that my course in DLSU is one of the schools expertise and I know I would really learn a lot about my course since it has 3 specialized tracks to be focused on and I know that would get me a decent job after college that pays good. I hope you will consider sending me in this school. I know youre not the type of parents who would force their children into something they dont want to do or to be and Im really thankful for that. Thank you for the time in reading this letter.

May God bless you!

Sincerely, Your one & only daughter Dana Aquino
