Holland, MI 49424 (616) 422-2008 marcus_lade@live.com OBJECTIVE: Despite feeling self-confident and having a great community of support to help me achieve my goals in life. I now have to trust that my hard work and faith will be sufficient in landing my first job as a teacher. After hearing such great details about your school from A.J. Laarman, I felt compelled to follow through with his suggestion to apply for your already prosperous and growing educational institution. My strengths are unique, in that they are highly valued by my past experiences and easily transferrable. My first priority is to build rapport with my students, I bring enthusiasm and humor to the classroom, and I am very optimistic and open with my colleagues. It is my desire to be apart of a community that can utilize my strengths, and support students in an effective and influential way as they embark upon their goals. I trust A.J. in his recommendation of your school and would humbly request your consideration or feedback.
