An Expression <strong>of</strong> Thanks<br />

Dear Starwood Foundation,<br />

I am writing to thank you for investing in my education through<br />

the Starwood Foundation Scholarship. Gratitude is <strong>of</strong>ten a difficult<br />

thing to express in a letter, yet it is something that individuals<br />

attempt to communicate in words every day. In my opinion,<br />

there are certain times when there is simply no way to effectively<br />

demonstrate the depths <strong>of</strong> ones gratitude to another, and this is<br />

certainly one <strong>of</strong> those times.<br />

I hope to demonstrate my gratitude more effectively through my<br />

actions. I say this because when a co-worker congratulated me on<br />

the scholarship, I responded, “Yes, I feel quite lucky.” He replied,<br />

“Luck is only where opportunity meets preparation.” With my<br />

strong passion for learning, I will continue to prepare myself for<br />

life’s opportunities, and pursue both the pr<strong>of</strong>essional and personal<br />

goals I have set for myself.<br />

I not only want to thank you for recognizing my potential to<br />

meet these goals, but more importantly, I am grateful that the<br />

Starwood Foundation is genuinely concerned with, and invested<br />

in, continued education and pr<strong>of</strong>essional development.<br />

So for lack <strong>of</strong> a better phrase, I thank you. This means a great<br />

deal to me and my hope for a very bright future.<br />

Most kind regards,<br />

Lindsay N. Potts<br />
