Because of my parents were both librarians, 1 grew up with books, reading an array of history, geography and culture, science and the history of science, literature and philosophy. But especially fascinating to me was history. When 1 was thirteen years old, I reac Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey -, this experience touched a chord deep in-side me and lit a fire that only burns brighter and more intensely today. In late middle school Cartier Roadster Replica and throughout high school, I read as much about Greek history as I could find to read and began to become familiar with Greek literature.

By this time, it was already becoming apparent to me that here was a major foundational pillar of western civilization I was a child of Greek history and culture. My high school offered Latin which 1 drank down greedily for three years, inspiring me to also familiarize myself with Roman history and literature. Unfortunately, there was no Greek offering, but
I managed to learn basic Greek phonetics, morphology, and grammar from a clergyman who had studied Greek in preparation for the ministry.

I majored in history at the university, with special focus 01 Greek and Roman history. The classical language program there, ai is well-known, is excellent, and I took classes in ancient Greet throughout my university sojourn. My Latin reading level enable me to move into a senior level course during my sophomore year, and subsequently I took several graduate level courses in my junior and senior years. The grand climax to all of this was two summers or Study at the Institute of Classical Studies in Athens where I began to Nike an interest in Greek philosophy. That fire lit in me as a teenage-!r was now white-hot, and the chord deep within me had become ;hordes, and our ancient heritage was playing melodies upon them, mad, if as by the songs of the sirens, I was drawn to the classics pro-|ram at the university for master's degree study.

You know the story from there; I do not need to rehearse it. several of my papers have already been published in classical jour-lals, and the awards I have won are well-known in the community of lassical scholars. Especially influential were the lectures of professors on the history of Greek philosophy, the history of Platonism and he history of Stoicism. Professor A's lectures on Plato, as you ;now, are unequaled for depth, but the passion with which he delivers them created almost as powerful an experience as Homer on the thirteen year old more than a decade ago. If I had needed more in-endive to take the Hublot Big Bang Replica next step to doctoral study, here it was.

So my application for Ph.D. study lies before you. The classical ladies’ program at your university ranks with the best in the world, nd the department of scholars is second to none. I hope that you ill grant me the privilege of entrance into your program. I hope to accentuate on Greek philosophy; your department would equip me s no other can. I, for my part, would do my best to promote and OTtinue the very high reputation that you already enjoy.
