-I am inquiring about employment for the Robotics Software Engineer position.
+I am inquiring about employment for the Computer Specialist
+position.
 
-I am currently involved with the Santa Barbara Hackerspace.
-We were donated one of your robots and I have been greatly enjoying the process of restoring
-the robot to a working condition. I believe that my previous experience in building advanced \cpp \space applications,
-as well as my prior experience building and producing hardware/software systems,
-will strongly relate to helping advance the work InTouch is doing.
-Constantly learning and pushing my knowledge of new technical skills is important to me,
-and it looks like this position, and working with the InTouch team would allow me to do just that.
-I feel that the combination of my skills, as well as my desire and ability to quickly learn new skills,
-could make me be a valuable asset to your team and help build better medical robots in the future.
+I believe I will be able to maintain a computer laboratory since I
+have previously maintained the makerspace at Gideon Hausner.  In
+addition, I have taught students and teachers how to use the
+technology within the makerspace.
 
-I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can be reached by email at
-\href{loman.daniel@gmail.com}{\textcolor{color2}{loman.daniel@gmail.com}}.
+Creating lesson plans that cater to specific students has been crucial
+to my teaching career.  As a teacher at Hausner, I helped students with
+their science fair projects.  This involved assessing what each
+student is capable of and finding what motivates them.  In the letters
+of recommendation from students, you will see reflections from the
+students on my ability to identify these things and create
+learning experiences that they have taken with them.
+
+Since I am coming to professional education through
+a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated.  However,
+I am currently finding my way through the process.  For the
+past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
+has employed me.  During that time, I have built relationships with
+students, parents, teachers and faculty.
+
+As a result, I have received many recommendation letters.  Hopefully
+these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
+while I pursue more traditional certification.
