Dear Ms. Rodwell,
I am a Student at the City College of New York, and I am majoring in Civil engineering. Indeed, the focus of the professional engineering discipline known as civil engineering is the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment, including public works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, building structural elements, and trains. I want to express in this formal letter my short term and long-term goals and imagine how problems will be solves by engineers.
      Firstly, I am interested by construction and architecture since I was a child. I am passionate by civil engineering even though it is not obvious for people like me. Indeed, it requires a lot of focus and dedication, as an international student, I must work full time to pay my college tuition and take care of my bills. So, my short-term goals are to complete my college finances and tuition and achieve my degree with the highest GPA possible. My dream is to become a citizenship of United States and participate to the construction of this wonderful country.
      Secondly, I want to becoming engineer and be part of the people who will build our cities and present their lives in areas more lively and safe places for the community, The most common hazard is power outages. I want to get the opportunity to work with other creative individuals whose ways of thought will challenge me to see things in a whole new and exciting way. 
      Finally, engineers are creatives and problem solvers. Indeed, when you improvise and deal with unfamiliar situations as an engineer, your imagination has no limits. Engineering is the perfect career for independent thinkers. 

Engineers create unique and novel solutions while designing and constructing new products, improving existing products or circumstances, or both. Companies can face IT outages, including hardware and software failure, virus attacks, and internet service provider issues. For global firms, a one-hour IT outage costs the organization substantial money. Also, valuable data can be lost during the event. In addition, natural disasters pose a higher hazard as they occur without human consent. Floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides are examples of natural disasters. Since natural disasters affect roads and means of access, supply is disrupted as moving goods becomes impossible. Daily, firms face hazards that disrupt the normal flow of work. Fire, natural disasters, health risks, and power and IT outages are some hazards. These hazards impact a company differently, and all-hazard awareness can provide a primary advantage in an emergency.

These are the issues that I see every day that our communities face, and the engineers are the people who solve these issues and create more safe places to live.
A profession in engineering gives you the chance to solve issues and create items that matter, items that improve the quality of life in the world. As an engineer, you have the chance to make an impact on the world by using your God-given skills to develop solutions that no one else has considered.

Thanks and best wishes,
Modou Bousso
