Letters

For this project, on writing letters to two people that you care about and trying to convince them that the major you picked at Illinois State University is the best choice for yourself I picked my aunt and my best friend. My aunt from my dad's side of the family will totally understand and be persuaded by a letter from me as she has a lot of the same interest that I do when she was my age. When she was going to school she also wanted to become a school teacher, so that is what she studied to be and succeeded. She went on and graduated college with a teaching degree and then got married and has three children who she takes care of and teaches every day. I picked my aunt as one of the recipients for the letters because of all the experience and knowledge she knows about having this major and all of the courses that are taken throughout the journey. I feel like sending a letter to her would have greater meaning and I would be able to use more convincing tactics towards her. The second person is my best friend from back home. She has been my friend since the second grade in elementary school. Ever since we known each other we've done practically everything together and hung out with each other until we basically have gotten sick of each other. We both share many things in common, one being the major that we are studying in college, but at two separate colleges. I picked my best friend for the non-relative person that we needed to write a letter to because I feel like she could understand and I could persuade her a little better than I could persuade any of my other friends from here or back at home.
