Letter To Thomas Woodrow Wilson's Education

I am writing this letter on behalf of Thomas Woodrow Wilson, a young man I had the privilege of teaching for four years as an undergraduate. As a teacher of Advanced Placement United States History at Princeton University (formally known as the College of New Jersey) for the past few decades, many gifted students have entered my classroom, but Woodrow’s potential really stood out to me. I base this not solely on his scholarly accomplishments, as Woodrow was not always a stellar student, but rather on his leadership abilities, self-sufficiency and determination to reform the institutions around him. Even as an undergraduate, Woodrow organized a student club to discuss public affairs. He also joined the American Whig Society on campus, actively leading debates on points of government and how they could be improved. During his schooling, Woodrow went beyond the course work demands of the university, enriching his studies with an added program of independent reading. Following the disruption of the Civil War, Woodrow was unable to attend primary school and gained most of his education from his father. Despite his unusual start, Woodrow succeeded in everything he put his mind to often on his own terms. After graduating Princeton in 1879 and attending law school, Woodrow found his interests
He has made progressive reform his standard, by successfully curbing the political power of monopolies and trusts and helped make our economy more equal for all social classes. He champions learning and the use of education as a means to a better country. He seeks a lasting peace in a world currently at war. I hope you see what great potential Woodrow has and consider his accomplishments when making your decision. Thank you for your time and please feel free to contact me at the address listed
