To Whom it May Concern:

       Welcome to one of the most enlightening, fulfilling, and controversial service careers in the U.S.  Teaching can be a very rewarding experience, and it will be even more rewarding to teach in disadvantaged areas of Mississippi.  Though you may be unsure of your decision to join the Mississippi Teacher Corps at the moment, I challenge you to give this opportunity a chance to make a difference in your life, as well as the lives of your future students. 

By becoming a teacher, you are apart of a group of people who shape the minds of younger generations.  And though situations may not be ideal at your selected school, you have the opportunity to be a living example to your students of the benefits of achieving an adequate education.  Additionally, by working for MTC, you have the opportunity to provide and implement more effective teaching methods than those offered by your school.  I am a firm believer that if you have faith in your own power as a teacher, then you will be a successful teacher.  So congratulations on your decision to become that catalyst for intellectual success that your students need.  I look forward to seeing you in June!

Yours truly,

Mrs. Jordan
