I am hoping for an internship in computer programming or administration. % for real? I enjoy working on software because I really enjoy solving problems and adding value in rapidly changing, complex systems. I want to learn how to contribute meaningfully to a software team. During my academic career, I have taken the AP Computer Science course and several mathematics classes to help prepare me to think in various frameworks about solving problems. I have also programmed recreationally, working on small personal projects to familiarize myself with the basic tools (e.g. languages, debuggers) and automate some small processes. For example, I've written a small Perl script to handle web queries and generate PDFs for award pieces and room locations for a Model UN conference, which required me to create the script, test it, and deploy it on a Linux server that I administer. These experiences have prepared me with the basic knowledge and skills to understand and work with the technologies, but I still have much to learn. I'm very interested in contributing to and learning from your company. I hope to have the chance to work with you on this exciting opportunity. Thank you for your time and consideration. \noindent Sincerely, \noindent Holden Rohrer\hfil\break Enclosure \bye
