Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Son Nguyen, currently a sophomore at Ontario Tech University. I would like to express my interest in the job offer to be a volunteer guide at the weekend from August to April. Despite being an IT student, I have always been fascinated with stories, artefacts, and pictures from the past. From a young age, I loved listening to the stories about life in Vietnam during the French colonization and the patriot battle against the US and the South Vietnam regime from my grandpa. When I arrived in Canada,
this
museum was one of the places to go
due to
me being curious about how the "other side" viewed our war. That leads us to how I can make a trip to the museum amazing.
Firstly
, I have been researching materials not just about the Vietnam war, but
also
the Canadian independence and the country's contribution in both World Wars. I do believe that alongside good story-telling, not only I can deliver the stories about the items in the museum, but
also
I can ignite the students' curiosity through multiple points of view to make their History lesson more immersed. With that being said, I am mostly available for the morning of Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM. I can be reached at the same email address that sent you
this
letter. I am looking forward to your reply. Best Regards, Son Nguyen
