To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf of
Vanessa Najarro, for she undoubtedly is one of my most deserving and mature
students. I have known Vanessa since August 2013. In that time, she has been a
very successful and standout student in my 11th grade Advanced Placement US
History class, achieving a well-earned B in a very demanding course as well as
becoming a leader and role model for her peer group.
In the time I have gotten to know Vanessa, I have come to admire her on many
levels. Academically, she has proven herself to be an intelligent and articulate
young lady who possesses a genuine and refreshing intellectual curiosity. Vanessa
is not only an intelligent young lady, but also a great supporter of her fellow
classmates. She has been a part of student leadership for the past two years and
has demonstrated leadership attributes beyond her years.
Vanessa has a very positive attitude that is contagious to both students and
faculty. It has been a pleasure to see Vanessa develop as a student and especially
as a leader in the classroom. Besides her academics and school leadership
Vanessa is an outstanding athlete and even better teammate. As her coach for
cross-country and basketball I have seen her develop into a fantastic player and
team leader. In basketball, Vanessa was awarded the Scorpion Spirit Award
because she epitomizes what it means to be a team player and hard worker.
Although Vanessa faces several challenges relating to her environment and
community, she has found a way to persevere as well as inspire those around her.
Vanessa is hardworking, diligent, and resilient as well.
Vanessa has proven herself to be a leader in school, the community, and her home
by consistently going the extra mile and especially by putting others needs before
her own. I truly hope that you will give this truly talented and mature young lady
an opportunity to thrive and excel in your program.
Again, I cannot reiterate what a positive asset Vanessa will be to the South
Central Scholars community.
Sincerely,
Aaron Akwaboah
