Hello dear Sir or Madame, my name is Carl Leong and I am writing

this letter of application in hopes that you will consider accepting me

to computer science this coming fall.

On paper I am not really that interesting, I am a male in my early

twenties, and have thus far not done anything worth boasting about.

During my time in school I was an average student, did my

assignments without any fuzz most of the time, I did however excel in

one thing! That thing was: arguing. I have argued with my class over

politics, news and our most prominent interest, games more than I

can remember. I have collectively talked away hours of my time just

bantering with my teachers, just for fun!

I said that I was just an average student, and that might have to do

with me, myself, as person was not the type to just slack off after

school, on the contrary in fact! During my teenage years I did a lot of

things – I was a board member for a soberest organization under four

years’ time, I have been a martial arts and self-instructor for children

and teens for about the same time.

As for things outside non-profit work I have been fighting dragons,

robots and monsters across multiple galaxies and dimensions – I once

charmed a dragon to such a level that we became roommates, and I

have helped other people realize both these common dreams and their

own. By this I of course mean I am an avid table top role-player! This

does not mean that I have only limited myself to role-playing games

when it comes to playing games.

During my teens I have been up late nights playing table-top games

with friends, laughing, number-crunching and bonding. When it comes

to video-games some people might say that I have an addiction, I

would beg to differ, but I do not think I can do that wholeheartedly.

This of course means I have a seldom paralleled knowledge of games,

how they are built, work, tropes and their design, plus common flaws

– this is something that is beneficial to me since my dream job is

working with game design.

However I do not just play games in my free time, a lot of my time

goes to reading. I read fiction, non-fiction, basically anything that

catches my attention, and I read fast. So as long there is something

interesting I just keep absorbing information.

I do however have one flaw, a really big flaw, and that is that I have

hard time doing something wholeheartedly, otherwise known as fully

committing to assignments, people or things. This can make me

absolutely impossible to work with if I am in a bad move.

This is parts of me in a nutshell, I rather avoid mentioning some

things about me over a letter because I have a history of coming off as

condescending…

Take care and I hope I will hear from you soon, love Carl.
