Dear Admissions Committee,

Allow me to provide a deeper insight into my character, beyond what is reflected in my

application or academic records. My name is Ware Stuckey, and my journey has been shaped by
a rich tapestry of experiences, diverse interests, and a commitment to making a positive impact
in both my immediate community and the wider world.

As a dedicated athlete, I have not only excelled as a swimmer and varsity cheerleader but have
also embraced the physical challenges of rugby. These experiences have instilled in me the
values of discipline, teamwork, and resilience. The pool, the cheer mat, and the rugby field have
been my classrooms, teaching me the importance of perseverance and collaboration

Beyond sports, I have actively participated in the feminism impact group. This involvement
stems from my belief in the power of equality and the importance of creating a society where
everyone's voice is heard. Engaging in conversations surrounding gender issues has broadened
my perspective and deepened my understanding of the diverse challenges people face.

Volunteering in my community has been a cornerstone of my commitment to service. Whether

it's supporting local events or contributing to community initiatives, I have found immense
fulfillment in giving back. These experiences have not only allowed me to connect with a variety
of people but have also cultivated a sense of responsibility towards the well-being of others.

One particular instance that significantly impacted me was [provide a specific example from
your volunteer work]. This experience taught me the power of community, the importance of
empathy, and the potential for positive change when individuals come together for a shared
cause.

As I reflect on these diverse experiences, I am confident that they have uniquely prepared me for
success at Penn State. The university's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive
community resonates with my values. I am eager to bring my background in sports, my passion
for social issues, and my commitment to service to the Penn State community.

Penn State's emphasis on collaboration, innovation, and making a positive impact aligns
seamlessly with my own aspirations. I am excited about the prospect of contributing to the
vibrant community at Penn State, both inside and outside the classroom. I am not just a
swimmer, cheerleader, rugby player, or volunteer; I am someone who believes in the
transformative power of education and community.

In conclusion, my diverse experiences and the values I hold dear make me confident in my
ability to thrive at Penn State. I am not just seeking an education; I am seeking an environment
where my unique background and skills can contribute to the rich tapestry of the Penn State
experience.

Thank you for considering my application. I am eager for the opportunity to bring my passion,
dedication, and diverse perspective to Penn State.

Sincerely,

Ware Stuckey
