LETTER OF CONTINUED INTEREST The Admission Committee, Rice University, 6100 Main St. Anderson Hall, MS-50 Houston, TX 77005-1827 USA Dear Admission Committee, I must admit that I was disappointed when I learned that I was deferred to Regular Decision, but being an owl, giving up isn’t an option. However, this shows the faith that the admission committee has in my application. I hereby write this to reaffirm my interest in Rice University. I devoted my time to explore my love and passion for architecture and art, and surprisingly I learned that I still have an extensive research area to undertake at Rice. As a way of catching up with what’s happening at the Rice School of Architecture, I followed the school Instagram account, and I was impressed with most of the projects.

The Sacrifices of Getting a Degree Getting a college degree is getting hard day by day because of the rise in school fees. This rise is associated with many factors, such as; scholarships; a self-sponsored student will have to pay an extra fee to finance a scholarship plan (Weebly.com). Degree being on demand has given colleges a chance to take advantage of people who are ready to pay any amount to acquire university education. Students and parents are the ones feeling the pinch. One has to take up a student’s loan to fund his education or work for a few years while saving up to join college. Students are now finishing schools with a lot of debts from student loans.

Is this situation fair for parents and students? Something has to be done to change this situation. Government bursaries and funding has been evoked. The students need this fund to clear school. Since…
Standard bilingual scholarship My mother was diagnosed with severe asthma when I was a child, and we could not afford to pay for the hospital. What was worse was that there was no insurance coverage or discounts for hospital visits or emergencies in Africa. One day, as we stopped by at a neighborhood pharmacy, the pharmacist helped us find over the counter medications and gave my mother instructions on what to do at home. She also called and checked on my mom to see how she is doing. This situation instilled in me the desire to one day become a pharmacist. When I was in Africa, there was not much opportunity to select and study what I was passionate about doing. However, that changed when I came to the United States and had a chance to choose what I wanted to study. I got my first job working as a cashier at CVS. One day the pharmacist recommended me to apply for a position as a pharmacy technician. I did and was fortunate to get the job. Around that area,…
