Dear Patricia,
I live in Alaska. Both of my children have graduated from college and have good jobs. I think it is great that you want to become a teacher and I am very happy that I can help fund your education.
Sincerely,

Dear Patricia,

I was impressed to read of your dedication to your education and your commitment to achieving your goals. You can make a huge difference in improving the lives of others. I am a single mother with two young children and I am a big believer in the power of educating girls around the world. Never give up!
