Letter To Farshod Mosh At De Anza College

I am writing this letter because I understand that I have failed MATH 1B leaving me with 85 quarter units. First of all I would like to thank you and the school for even giving me the opportunity to explain my situation and hopefully give me a second chance at admissions.

During winter quarter 2017 I took Math 1B with professor Farshod Mosh at De Anza College and the first couple of weeks it was like a typical class although he was very strict. Later on during the course I have come to learn that this teacher is extremely racist towards chinese people and racist towards males, which I happen to be both. I took his comments about chinese people to heart and made me scared to seek him for help during office hours and it just affected me emotionally.

In my current family situation I know I would benefit more from getting a higher education at UC Davis. Judging from my past academic records, I believe it is not an accurate representation of who I am and what I am capable of. Although my family situation made it even harder me to focus on schooling, it made me not try as hard at school and I was making many mistakes. Throughout this journey I have discovered who I am and I am determined to work harder not just for my parents, but for myself as well. From failing math 1B, to worrying about if any schools would accept me, to this final stretch that can set me on the right path. Not only is Davis my dream school and my parent’s dream school, it is a great school in itself as well. In addition, Davis is within reasonable distance from my home and with my family situation, it would be a great bonus especially for my grandma. In life second chances are hard to come by and when they are given to me I promise with all my heart, soul and mind that I will cherish this opportunity and I will not take it for granted at all. Not only do I have to prove myself to myself but also to my family, friends, and people at my church who have been supporting me and happy for me that I got into Davis. With this opportunity to go to Davis, I am determined to work my hardest and offer all that I have back to Davis because I simply cannot express how much this opportunity would mean to me. I promise that I will not let my family down, myself down, my church down and most importantly, I would not let the school and the people who gave me a second chance down. I have struggled and cried over this for the longest time and it is hard to express all my emotions in words but I sincerely promise that I will be the best student according to what I am capable of, and I know that I am capable of great things. I can and
