Sheryl Sandberg And Anna Maria Chavez

As a result of your lecture, I learned a couple of facts about college system that no one has told me before, especially our counselors. Besides that, we also had to write a formal letter to tell you what we learned. Since I had never written a formal letter to anyone before, so I was afraid that I might not do it right according to its characteristics. However, you did give us a very helpful example, which is your recommendation letter for one of your students. After reading it for a while, I somehow distinguished that each paragraph of the letter had written much shorter than an original essay format. Likewise, I took notice of how you write the letter very clearly and formally, yet straighten your main point. Consequently, I used the letter …show more content…

I'm not an independent person so I admit that I sometimes do feel a little bit jealous against those who have leadership skills. But instead of hating them, I set them as my role models. Although the criticism about independent women is still going on, there are other advocates who admire and support the opposite idea. For example, my mom is a very tender person, yet she has always been an individualistic person ever since she was young. Even though my parents always consult each other in every problem but my mom seems like the one who mostly makes the final decision. And my dad is very proud to have her as his wife. In Asia, particularly in Vietnam where I had lived, the old generations
