ACADEMY Santora Jan 34,2018 Dear Ms. Riley, 1am pleased to give my highest posible recommendation for Emory Bouffard tobe admitted into your program. | teach Emory’s Honors Physics class and also an Introduction to Engineering class that she's in, She is one ofthe best students I've had the privilege of teaching during my 14-year teaching carer. fm sure she'l bea great asset to you "Not only i Emory highly Intelligent and hard working she's also compassionate and concerned about ‘the people around her. though Emory i always te fist student to get” ficult concepts in my Classes, she never flaunts her abilities. She allows others to find thelr way to the answer, eving assistance when asked but never being overbearing or condescending. The ather students greatly admire and respact her, wile net being intimidated a all by her. She is true fiends with al students, Which | think is quite impressive when | consider how large the gap is between her ablites and many of thers. alltoo often I've seen highly nteligent students who have dificulty relating to their peers but ve never seen that problem with Emory. Emory is very conscientious and takes great care to get every detail right. The lab reports and engineering studies that she writes for my classes are so thorough and well written that you'd think they re fw atk with me aut were writen bye vllege student high suioo student, She often ‘of regular class hours, not because she needs help but because she's interested in knowing more about ‘physics and engineering. She genuinely loves learning and fe curious to understand things at a much deeper love than other students do. Emory fs very creative and has great problem solving ablites. She has been given many open-ended tasks in my classes which require her to think up unique solutions to dificult problems which sometimes have purposely been vaguely defined. I've been highly impressed with the way Emory methodical approaches and solves these problems. Although the problems I've given her have been technical and -scentifc in nature, lean tell fom her approach to solving them that she would be great a solving any type of problem, bet social, political, or whatever. |can assure you that Emory wil bean oustanding contributor to your program if youselect her for admission, Mu Al 7 Douglas Hendricks Physics and Engineering Teacher ddhendricks@ames-sle.r ancaty catego tign screed Paintin ine uc atch {718s 30 Eo Sot ate Cy uF et "Pane 6 See FOO. 27 327 ame $05
