Dear Dr. Geoffrey Adams
Hello, my name is Marcus Anthony Flores I am currently a junior at Gadsden High School in Anthony, New Mexico. I have an elective class right now called college success, our teacher Mrs. Crater has made us research careers that may be of interest to us and I have researched many careers but architecture has continued to catch my attention throughout this extensive research. I already have begun researching the field of architecture, and by what I have read and understood about what they do I have become very interested in this field. We have also begun our research for colleges we would like to attend or that we are interested in. I have researched a number of colleges and I am interested in attending the University of New Mexico.
I am writing to you today personally because of your experience and your advanced skills within the department of architecture. I was wondering if you have any tips, points of contact, or your possible opinion that could lead me in achieving a successful career in architecture.
I have done my best to maintain a good GPA while playing basketball and being a starter on the team. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with my homework and practices and games but I maintain to keep up and have responsibility. A subject that I am strong in is mathematics and
