I have a passion to associate with the young learners 

(phraseology is everything.)

With a growing role 

(I have a growing girth but I am not going to put it on my CV)

Most distinguished Principal

Dear Sir/Madam

I enjoy my church life and my love for Jesus   

(I enjoy rugby and shouting at the TV……)

(and then you decided you wanted  to teach five year olds?)


 I believe having a sense of humour is one of three main attributes all teachers need. 
(end of paragraph; no further reference to what the other 2 could be?????  Is it multi choice??)

With my class, I will. 
This is like me deciding to go on a diet.  This time I will (insert appropriate caption)
