To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter in application for the position of Prefect and Head/Deputy Head prefect. I see this position as a central part of the school's foundations, traditions, and effective communication between students, teachers and the local community. I would like to present to the school and local community my enthusiasm of attending such an organised, talented and compassionate body the school is. This is a very responsible position, and I look up to it. I feel that it is very similar to my career path.

I have always found it daunting to find a career path that would suit me as a person. After a great deal of research during the summer, I discovered that I was set to become a dental health professional. The reason that this path appealed to me was due to several reasons. Being a dentist meant that I had a responsibility toward helping others in need, being attentive, and providing care to my patients. What particularly stood out to me was that my position meant that a lot of people could have confidence in me, which makes me highly respect the position of trust given to me. This included me being a good communicator and listening to people's requests of me. Compared to medicine, dentistry stood out to me because it meant that I could treat an individual and continue seeing then for ongoing maintenance and hence creating a strong bond. This is what I aspire to do as a prefect.

Although I only became part of the school recently, this does not suggest a lack of 'experience'. I have met many people and am familiar with a lot of the staff as well. I believe that I have integrated well into the community and have enjoyed being here since the first day of sixth form. However, this does not mean that I know everything that there is to know about the school, but I have a desire to learn more and get to know more people whether by helping, supporting or guiding them to the best of my ability. I believe that my various experiences from my previous school will help me recognise possible improvements that can be made here. This would allow a smoother, more focused and hassle-free learning environment for everyone.

A few of my experiences:

* My commitment to help the local community has lead me to volunteer at the Poole Oxfam charity shop, for the last 6 months. This position has showed me that responsibility, communication and maturity are the key part in leading a team, and especially dealing with people on a daily basis. This includes the ones who do not appreciate my efforts and respond aggressively when they do not have everything their way. I have learned to deal with them in a professional and calm manner.
