Dear Admissions Committee,

I trust this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to shed light on the gap in my educational
timeline from July 2021.
From August 2021 to February 2023, I immersed myself in a Business Management diploma
program. This journey equipped me with a deep understanding of business operations, strategy,
and management. I am confident that this knowledge will be a strong pillar for my future
academic and professional pursuits.
Upon completing my diploma, I had the privilege of working as a Facebook Ads Manager for a
startup. This five-month stint allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge in a practical
setting, enhancing my understanding of digital marketing, analytics, and campaign optimization.
After that, I embarked on the intricate journey of obtaining a US visa. This process demanded
my undivided attention and commitment, contributing to the temporary pause in my formal
education.
Each of these experiences has been instrumental in shaping my personal and professional
growth. I am eager to resume my academic journey at Arizona State University, bringing with
me the skills and perspectives gained during my time away from formal education.
I am confident that these experiences will not only enrich my academic journey but also enable
me to contribute meaningfully to the university community.
Thank you for considering my application and for your understanding regarding the gap in my
educational timeline. I am thrilled about the prospect of joining the vibrant academic
environment at Arizona State University and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
Warm regards,
Raman Kumar
