Alright... So this third person disconnected way of writing is I’m sure quite unexciting. I’m sure you’re just about ready to tab over to something more interesting. How about this:

I’m incredibly excited to work with everyone over the course of the next couple months. This is exciting! I applied after seeing the success the previous UIF students had on our campus. We can all agree one certain levels that our current system of education is flawed. What’s awesome is that each school is supporting us to help them, we could really become a driving force for advancement not just for our school, but our efforts would improve the educational experience for many future generations to come!

But more than that, I’m excited that we come from all different backgrounds, holding different perspectives and experiences. We can’t all have the exact same set of challenges. We have the opportunity to bring together the learnings from initiatives and ideas of each school to help one another. I feel that this is an opportunity to pull all of these qualities together and that we have the ability to truly make an impact!
