Dear Professor Teacher,

I am currently having problems understanding the material we have been doing on the east coast tribes of Northern America. If I can possibly schedule a meeting with you to help me grasp the information better it would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks

My Monologue :

My whole life revolves around sports. It my have all started from my father. My dad was a great basketball and baseball player who was family friends with many iconic sports figures. When I was younger I was a really good pitcher and enjoyed playing almost everyday. At around 14 or 15 years old I found out that I had a problem with my arm. Soon after that my playing days came to an end but I still have a strong liking for many teams such as the Mets, Nets, Giants, and Devils. I was a season ticket holder last year for the Devils and I try to attend at least 20 Mets games a year. I love my teams to death. I schedule my days around their games, have jerseys and many other items. Sports are what I live for!

Dear Mrs. Mearle,

Hey Mrs. Mearle, I was just emailing you to tell you that I had some really bad sushi last night and now i have the runs. I know I’m being very straight forward and I could have just said “hey, I’m sick.” But no, you are my teacher and you deserve to know exactly what is wrong with me. I am deeply sorry for not being able to show to class today and I am sorry for not being able to email you before class due to the fact that I was in the bathroom all morning. I can come in on Wednesday with a doctors note and I will be up to date on all the work I missed. Okay, now I have “to go”, I can feel it. Thank you for your time and I’ll see you on Wednesday.

Sincerely,

Fahad Ghuman

Dear Professor Dalavagas,

I’m sending this e-mail to inform you that I will not be able to be present during the midterm examination in class tomorrow. Unfortunately I am currently in the hospital and will have to remain here over the next couple of days. I would just like to see if I had your permission to make up the examination at a later date. I have with me a signed doctors note explaining the details of why I am here and my absence, so please let me know in what method you would prefer that I send it to you. I hope you can understand that I would prefer to attend class on that day but am just not going to be able to make it. I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me make it at whatever time may be convenient for you.

Thank you,

Nicole Gluck

I’m not really sure how to write a monologue about myself. I could just spit out verbs or nouns or adjectives but that wouldn’t really give you a clear cut view on who I actually am as a person. What’s going on inside my brain could probably be compared to any sort of apocalyptic scenario, because there are literally way too many things going on in there. Sometimes it’s hard for me to focus on one thing because I’m considering different actions and consequences and outcomes and verses and ideas and I just can’t put my brain on hold. That’s why sleeping is one of my favorite things to do. I wish there was some way to send your brain on vacation, to just pack it up a little suitcase and give it a little fanny pack and send it on it’s way to the Bahamas or Puerto Rico so you could just chill out without having to worry or mope or grieve or stress. I’m not sure if I’m the only person who has this problem, but it’s literally a daily kind of thing where I’m telling my brain to shut up, stop digging deeper into that thought and just leave it be but it keeps clawing at the littlest pinprick ideas in my head and it enlarges them and shreds them to pieces and gets so deeply inside them that after a while I’ve just lost control and I have to think these things that I don’t want to and that I know aren’t good for me. Hopefully in the future someone invents an off button for your brain with some sort of allotted time for relaxation and you can just sit in a chair mindlessly for three days straight.

I also secretly wish I was a bear, this is my incorporated media picture

Dear Professor Dalavagas,

I would like to sincerely apologize for missing our Philosophy midterm. The day before the exam I came down with a very bad case of strep throat. I visited the doctor and I have a doctors note for my absences the past two classes. If you would allow me to make up the midterm, I would greatly appreciate it. Any day or time would work for me. Again, I’d like to apologize for missing the test and these classes. Thank you for your understanding and I’ll be back in class Monday.

Best Regards,

Joseph Catarcio

“Mock” e-mail to professor:

Dear Professor Burleigh,

I just wanted to send a brief note expressing my sincerest apologies for missing the Art 1012 midterm exam today. I was stricken by the flu, and I was unable to make it to the exam because I wasn’t in optimal condition. I visited my doctor and obtained a signed doctor’s note regarding my illness. I hope you understand my reason for failing to attend the exam, and I would greatly appreciate it if you’d let me make it up at your convenience. Thanks for your time.

 Many apologies,

James Selig, Art 1012 MW 2:30-3:45

 Monologue: Ever since I was little, two main things have made me “tick”: my family and money. My family makes me tick because they are a source for unconditional love. No matter what happens, I know that my family will help me out, be there for me, and see me through the toughest of situations. Whenever I feel like everyone has turned their back on me, my family is always there to offer help and support. My family also gives me a place to live and food to eat, which is a definite plus. The thing that I enjoy most about my family is that we have lots of memories together. I have 3 siblings: my brother Nicholas is 12 years old, my brother Jack is 1 year old, and my little sister, Olivia, is 9 years old. I enjoy spending time with them and my parents more than anything else, and so my family has been a huge part of my life.

Money also makes me “tick” because money makes me feel safe and secure. I enjoy making money and saving it, I guess you could say that money is my passion. Money makes me tick because I worry when I don’t have money, and a lack of money keeps me up at night. That is why I always try to make and save as much money as possible.

My Family

Dear Professor McCaffrey,

     I am very sorry for being unable to attend the midterm exam. Due to a severe illness, I was unable to attend the midterm, and I am truly sorry for any inconvenience. I do have a signed doctors note, to show proof of illness. I can forward it to you by email, or simply hand it in the next class. I will be able to makeup the midterm at any time it is convenient for you. Thank you for your time and patience.

Best Regards,

Selin Celebi

Ever since I was a little girl, my parents always wished I would one day be an olympic athlete and so they tried to enroll me in every single sport possible, ranging from basketball all the way to soccer. I hated sports, and especially sweating. I never wanted to do anything with sports, and I had a fear of being injured. I always had a love for fashion, and dressing up made me so happy. I knew I always wanted to pursue fashion the minute I made a dress out of my soccer jersey during a soccer game. Fashion always interested me, I had several people in my family who made careers for themselves in the fashion industry. I wanted to be just like that. I wanted to create something in my mind, that would fascinate people, and would make them want to buy my items.

With lots of dreaming and high hopes, my mom one day enrolled me in ballroom dancing class. This was probably one of the only sports I absolutely loved, because I would wear outfits covered in rhinestones and would get to compete in grand ballrooms, like the roseland ballroom in New York City. Though dancing, I  grew an intrest for this sport, and supported my teacher through the time she was on Dancing with The Stars.

Recently, I was watching Dancing With the Stars, and ran into a segment were they announced there was a contest, where you would have to design a dance costume and if you were chosen you would get to fly to california and be featured on the show with the dress you created. I immediately thought this was absolutely the best idea Ive ever heard of. I didn’t have much time, so I grabbed my pen and paper and drew something off the top of my head. Six hours later, my masterpiece was complete.

I dont think these next few days could go by any slower, while waiting for the results. Im really excited and hopeful that I will win.  Eve if I dont win, I put in my best effort, and achieved a personal goal I put my mind too. I think having a mindset like this will give me a successful start on my future fashion career. However, if I do get picked as a finalist I hope you all vote for me !

My drawing !

My life has always been about sports from the beginning. My three favorite teams are the Rangers, Mets, and Jets. I don’t know exactly how I got into sports but I definitely have to attribute most of it to my dad. Growing up, it’s pretty much all he would watch so I started to follow suit. One of my earliest memories is sitting down at the kitchen table as a three year old reading the newspaper to see when my favorite teams would play next. Reading is a very loose word though, more like just looking at the pictures. My dad would always take me to his teams softball games on Sunday mornings. He would play with his friends and they would bring their kids too so I got to play baseball with them as our fathers played softball. Days like these are ones that I miss as they became fewer and fewer as the years went on but it stuck with me as I grew up.

I decided to get involved in sports on my own when I was six. I joined Our Lady of Grace baseball here in Brooklyn and started off playing t-ball. One of the few highlights of my little league career was hitting a home run on one of the hottest days of the year. After this it started to go downhill for me as I never really had the skill set to play as well as some other kids. I was able to get away with it when I was younger as I had natural baseball instincts but eventually it caught up to me. Nowadays I’ll still play both baseball and football at the park with friends but I’m not in any organized leagues.

Professional sports has a huge impact on my life. I consider myself an extremely devoted fan and I don’t think anyone that knows me will debate that. I’ll get things done weekends in advance when I know I’m going to games so I don’t have the hassle of doing it at the last second. I base my schedule around my teams’ schedule. I’ve been going to sports games since I was four which I think got me hooked. Ever since then, I’ve been going to more and more games every year. Last year alone I went to 27 Ranger games, 10 Met games, and two Jet games. It’s something I can’t get enough of.

One of my fondest memories as a child is seeing the grass of the baseball field and the ice of the hockey rink when walking out from the concourse. It’s still something that amazes me even as an adult when I go to games. Everyone has a hobby or something they like and for me it’s sports. It’s always played a huge role in my life, still is, and always will.

Hi, I’m Nick Bowden im a commuter student here at Baruch. I am a shy, loyal and honest person. These personality traits all have had many positive and negatives affects on my life. The one that has had the most negative affect on my life is my shyness. I haven’t always been as anti social as i am now but as i got older through the years i have isolated myself from others more. In high school i had the same group of friends all four years, my friends were very different from most people and so am i, so i find it harder to connect with others that don’t have the same interests, beliefs or personalities as me. I hope that during my time in Baruch i can learn to be more social and meet new people. Some of my more positive personality traits are my loyalty and honesty. The number one thing i can’t stand is lying so i try to be as honest as i can be at all times. I also am a very loyal person, i will never betray a person that trust me because that’s the way i was raised.

My goal over the next four years is too meet new people and try new things.  I came to Baruch because it is the complete opposite of where i grew up on long island and i hated it there. The town was boring and had nothing to ever do, it was a very depressing place to be and although i cant yet afford to live in the city, just being in NYC makes me happy because of the endless possibilities here. My biggest concern about Baruch is procrastination. In high school i always procrastinated and got my work done, but in college there is too much work to do so. I need to learn to do work over time and not save it for the night before. I hope i can work on making a smooth transition into the college life.
