Why do you want to spend this summer at Stanton College's Summer High School Gifted and Talented Program?

Rather than relax and enjoy the sun like a normal kid whose father DOESN'T think he's raising the next Barbara Jordan, I'm looking forward to taking advantage of the summer months to further my education at a college with a rigorous academic program, a distinguished faculty and a diverse student body but I thought I'd apply to Stanton anyway. Stanton is renowned for having been a decent school, oh, 200 years ago educating three signers of the Declaration of Independence, and it continues to attract the best and the brightest this nation has to offer if you don't count all the students who go to better schools. It is for these reasons I just pray I get into one of my first choices I hope to spend my summer at Staton.

Your college also has all the amenities I could ask for: first-rate bus service to get the hell off campus resources, proximity to a cultural metropolis for getting the hell off campus cultural activities, and the chance to interact with professors who are experts in their fields by asking them for a ride off campus. No wonder Stanton gets thousands of applications from slackers scholars all over the country.

I've pored over your course catalog, and I think the biggest problem I will have, should I be accepted, is in finding classes that I didn't already take in sixth grade deciding which classes to take - there are so many that look interesting. I would also hope to take advantage of the many extracurricular activities and internship programs you offer, particularly the ones that will allow me to get the hell off campus.

Thank you for the opportunity to apply to Stanton's Summer High School Gifted and Talented Program. I hope that, if accepted, my work will bring distinction to the school or at least some letters of recommendation for college so I can get my father off my back. God I love being a role model.
