This is for a job at a summer adventure camp on the top of cushion peak. I have to write a paragraph about my self and why i want the job. I Know that's 2 different thoughts right. I think what they mean is keep it short. I'm going for a semi-formal tone.
they say there are looking for help who "will need to bring boundless energy, many creative bursts, a strong sense of intedependence(sic) on others, lots of laughter, a focus on mentoring kids, fresh ideas, an open mind, and a passion for making a positive difference in our world. We hire people from every walk of life, from all over the globe, who are chosen for their integrity, their energy, and their community spirit , and are passionate about helping. " so I need to convey that in my "paragraph".
any why hears the rough draft.
My name is Jereme Carpe*ter you say it like it was spelled with a Y, but my Cherokee name is Snipe, just like the bird that's hard to shot.
I live in upper b****s county.
I play the flute, I'm learning to play the mandolin, and I'm teaching myself Spanish.
I sometimes I think I was meant to to this like the sun was meant to shine. Have you ever had a sensation like you were meant to do something in life? I can feel it in side me.
Last summer I lead a class in search and rescue complete with a live victim at a camp, it felt incredible. It was at a place called down earth nature camp, they teach skill like building fire, making shelter, finding edible plants, no trace camping and respect for nature. I went gone to that camp for the 5 years. I like football, basketball, and just about ever other sport. I'd have to credit that liking to my gym teacher. He was the role model I hope I'll be one day. He also taught me to love a good challenge.
I've ran the gods county marathon (26.22 miles or from cushion peak to Lebanon Valley College in Annville) twice, I've backpacked across Maryland end to end. In spring I hope to do the 4 state challenge. In September I biked a century (biking 100 + miles in one day or cushion peak to Scranton) I've done a spirit triathlon and I hope to do a full triathlon soon.
I've been a volunteer firefighter ever since I've been old enough, its a job that requires dedication, and responsibility. I think working with children is can be like fighting fires: it not always fun, its not always easy, some days is just plain hard, but its an important job all the same. To secede at either you need integrity, a large surplus of energy, and be passionate about helping.
And that's why I want to work at camp Weiser.+
I am a w-emt: along with CPR, phtls (pre-hospital trauma life support) suspected child abuse and neglect (they still need and academe for that) lifeguard (American lifeguard Association) & a few others. (see application)*
*W-EMT and CPR are standard requirements so i didn't put what they mean, the last 3 arn't as commom.
+yes I started a sentence with "and" I'm still working on an alternative, any suggestions?
thank you all for the help
Snipe :)
I would start with,"For the past five years, I've been involved with Camp ...", then tell the part about the search and rescue and the rest of that paragraph.

This is what the completed essay would look like (roughly):
My name is Jereme Carpe*ter. I play the flute, and I'm learning to play the mandolin and speak Spanish. I feel I am capable of doing this job because I have had various former experiences. Last summer, I led a search and rescue, complete with a live victim, at a camp. The experience was educational and enthralling. The camp was called Down Earth Nature Camp. They teach basic but crucial survival skills such as creating fires from scratch, building basic shelters, finding edible plants, roots, and berries, and no trace camping. This camp also teaches respect for nature. I have attended this camp for 5 years. I enjoy playing football, basketball, and soccer. I also love a good challenge. I have to credit that to my gym teacher. He has inspired me; I hope to someday be the role model to others he has been to me.

I've been a volunteer firefighter ever since I've been 18, it's a job that requires dedication and responsibility. I think working with children is like fighting fires: it's not always fun, it's not always easy, some days it's just plain hard, but its an important job all the same. To succeed at either you need integrity, a large surplus of energy, and be passionate about helping. That is why I feel I would be a good match at Camp Wieser.
