Dear U.S. Secretary Albright,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, world culture, and public policy.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need to advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, protect the environment from pollution,  need for human rights with negotiations to help reduce tensions between countries, and many others.  The main reason I’m writing you a letter is because I find your work as 20th U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and 64th U.S. Secretary of State to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as 20th U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, I liked on how you worked with different foreign countries on working to continue putting sanctions on Iraq due to Saddam Hussein’s corruption and causing threat to different countries. Also in your role as U.S. Ambassador, I liked on how you advocate for the need for human rights to help protect people who are different like minorities, women, people with disabilities, refugees, and people with different religion background from government oppression.  I liked on how accepted to become U.S. Secretary of State to serve under President Bill Clinton administration. I was amazed on how you became the first woman to become U.S. Secretary of State.  When you served as 64th U.S. Secretary of State, I liked on how you worked on expanding NATO by working to find European countries to join them in order to improve the U.S. and European allies to deal with different foreign affairs. Another thing that I liked about your work as Secretary of State was on how you advocated for the need to reduce nuclear weapons to find ways to improve relations between a country, make sure that weapons don’t fall into the wrong hands, and to work on a goal for peace.  Before you left your role as Secretary of State, I was very proud on how you worked hard trying to push for the need for ratification of the Kyoto Protocol on Global Climate Change to work with other foreign countries to find ways to reduce co2 emissions with pollution and work with President Bill Clinton along with Vietnam to improve relations between the U.S. and Vietnam on trade with other things.  After you left, I am very proud on how you continue to express the need to continue to reduce nuclear weapons, advocate for human rights to help protect people from government oppressions, have immigration reform  to help refugees with immigrants get help from oppressive countries,  advance on Civil Rights to help protect people who are different from being discriminated, support people with disabilities’ rights, and the need to protect the environment.

U.S. Secretary Albright, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights, be an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights, and express with support the need for human rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Your role as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and as U.S. Secretary of State motivates me to continue my interest in learning history, world culture, and public policy. My future goal is to someday teach these subjects to help emphasize the need to advance on Civil rights, make human rights stronger to end oppression on people who are different, need to reduce nuclear weapons to move to peace, and for the need to work with different foreign countries to reduce pollution.  

U.S. Secretary Albright,  I strongly  believe that you made a great difference in your role as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and as U.S. Secretary of State. I’m proud on how you worked hard to make a world a better place by improving relations between different countries, push for human rights, advocate for Civil Rights with people with disabilities’ rights, need to reduce nuclear weapons, and many others. You have truly inspired me to continue to work hard on Autism and to be motivate to continue to learn history with the need for human rights.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference for our country including the world, and inspiring me.  Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me and “The Kid With No Words” my story about working hard on my disability where I dedicate you for inspiring me.  I was wondering if you could please share with me what it was like being U.S. Secretary of State and give me advice about continue my motivation to learn history. I wish you well and please continue to advocate for great ideas to make society, human rights, and the world a better place.

Sincerely,


Matthew B. Winick
