Get Malcolm 2 Howard U

Greetings,

My name is Malcolm-Josiah Foster, and I am a Civil Engineering major who is working extremely hard to return to Howard University this fall 2015 for my Junior year. I have been able to get this far by faith, hard work and dedication! As an example, I have:

• Succeed as a college student in arguably one of the most challenging schools and majors on campus (Civil Engineering) despite my disabilities of Dyslexia, ADHD, and Auditory Processing Disorder.
• Performed well in the defining engineering courses of Calculus-3, Statics, and Physics
• Contributed a total of $14K to my tuition by working summers and earning scholarships.
• Landed (this summer) an engineering internship with Qualcomm Corporation

I have learned to believe in myself despite the challenges that come with Dyslexia, ADHD, and Auditory Processing Disorder. I am asking you to believe in me by providing financial support so I can continue on my path of becoming a Civil Engineer.

I am grateful for whatever donation you can make and will continually reach back to assist more students like myself.

I have attached my resume below for your review. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Very Sincerely Yours,
Malcolm-Josiah Foster
