Dear Mr. Larkin:

I am writing to apply for the Captain Wullenwaber scholarship for Target-Focus Training or materials. I read about the scholarship on the Target-Focus Training website.

About myself: I was going to serve society, like Captain Wullenwaber, through Computer Engineering. During my studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz, I became disabled and could not finish my degree. I am now 39 years old and recovering.

I now work helping the severely mentally ill. I do homeless outreach in San Luis Obispo, California. I work with homeless people, some who have been released from the Atascadero State Hospital for the criminally insane and the California Men’s Colony Prison. Consequently, I sometimes work with the police. Your Target-Focus Training would help me approach the homeless with more confidence.

I earn just enough to get by. I enjoy the martial arts. I studied Aikido for three months, but do not have enough knowledge in this art for practical self defense. I enjoyed reading the article on your Target-Focus Training class in Black Belt magazine. I would like to take the class but cannot afford it. The training would be invaluable in my work with the homeless and mentally ill.

I read the eulogy for Captain Wullenwaber that was linked on the Target-Focus Training website. He achieved much in his twenty five years of life.

Sincerely,

Carlos Rusnak
