Dear Undergraduate Admissions Committee,

Brooklyn Howard has been a student at Flint Southwestern Classical Academy for the past
four years. During her tenure, she has shown excellent leadership skills through her
involvement as an interscholastic athlete, an academically focused mindset, and an
incredible amount of promise. Because of her achievements and accolades, I gladly give
Brooklyn my high favorable recommendation to your institution.
As the College Adviser at Flint Southwestern, I have been responsible for guiding and
navigating students through their transition from high school to postsecondary life; I spend
ample time with seniors while understanding their strengths and advising on how to
maximize them. Soon after meeting Brooklyn, it was easy to see that she possessed a fiery
ambition, a certain toughness of character, and a natural inclination to work effectively.
Because of her charisma and strong leadership qualities, she has applied herself to be an
active and conscientious member of Southwesterns senior class; she has made her position
as a stand-out leader by serving on the Senior Student Council, playing in interscholastic
sports, balancing a part-time job, and offering her expertise by mentoring younger students
in formal capacities.
Through her job shadowing campaign, she has received valuable insight in the realm of
higher education student affairs as she shadowed a student outreach professional. As
evidenced by her volunteering and membership in social science-oriented clubs, Brooklyn
has an insatiable thirst for knowledge in the counseling field. Not only has Brooklyn has
grown aware of issues surrounding equity with socioeconomic settings, but she has
developed an open yet forward perspective with working with people coming from diverse
backgrounds at university.
Brooklyn has demonstrated commitment to her community, her coursework, and the
collective well-being of her peers. I am confident that Brooklyn will continue to exemplify
these traits in her journey through higher education. Her admission to your university
would greatly benefit in the creation of his/her legacy. Feel reach out to me if there are any
questions regarding Brooklyn as an applicant; please do not hesitate to contact me at
dcpark@umich.edu
Yours most sincerely,
Daniel C. Park
College Adviser
Michigan College Advising Corps.
