It is with great enthusiasm I recommend Kayla Waterman. She is a student who is making the most of her high school career. Kayla is a caring student who is truly inspired by life. Dedicated to helping others and consistently raising the bar, Kayla is a remarkable role model. With a strong concern for others, she lives by following a sound conviction to support others. Highly respected by peers and staff alike, she will be greatly missed, but is certain to achieve success beyond high school. Her skills, maturity, and outlook on life are a recipe for success.
We are all faced with challenges throughout life. Our ability to work through these challenges is many times a reflection of the person we are, and with Kayla, it is no different. Her commitment to making the best out of life’s unpredictable circumstances is seen in all areas of her life. During her sophomore year, two of her family members passed away, within weeks of each other. Undoubtedly, the loss impacted her ability to perform to her potential academically. She found it difficult to stay focused, and she felt the need to work harder than the people around her just to keep up. Kayla navigated thorough her feelings and didn’t let the sadness define who she is. She matured a great deal at this time and recognized not only the unpredictability of life but the importance of making

It is certain that outside circumstances had an effect on her ability to perform to the level she is capable sophomore year. Her junior year and quarter grades are a much more accurate indication of her capabilities. She is not afraid of challenging herself. The manner, in which she was able to manage her academics while dealing with the tragic and sudden loss of family, is admirable. It is important to note through the rough times, Kayla never looked for the easy way or asked for any special considerations. She came to school and did her best each and every
In High school, she continued to excel where others fell short by focusing and exceeding in her academics, setting an example for others to follow and instilling confidence into others rather than letting them fall into peer pressure. With the help of her
Each of these colonies had their own struggles. Jamestown’s early setbacks were that they did not have enough food, the harsh winter, diseases, The Starving Time, and many conflicts with the Native Americans. Plymouth’s early setbacks involved the cold, harsh winters; diseases; and infertile soil. Massachusetts Bay colony’s early setbacks were cold winters, disease, lack of food, lack of laborers, and religious conflicts. All three colonies had a struggle with the weather and diseases, as would be expected when moving to a completely new location. These setbacks could be a determining factor to the success of the colonies. One main contributor to the success or failure was their relationship with Native Americans. Unfortunately, Jamestown’s
Life was always tough for 21 year old Amanda Cofield. At the delicate age of 8, her parents passed away, and she was sent to live with her grandma. When she was 11, she had gotten into a devastating car crash making her unable to attend the rest of the school year. This caused her to be held back a year, and all her friends moved up into the campus' middle school leaving Amanda lonely. By the time she was 17, she moved to a different school, and was bullied for her appearance. At the age of 18, her scholarship for college was retracted for no specific reason.
Never having the help, she needed and not having a proper role model made this transition worse. At the end of the year she decided she need to go back to the basics, she dropped out of the IB program for her sophomore year. Over the course of her sophomore year, she made connections with teachers, her counselor, and her CSU Trio Advisor which gave her hope and a goal for her future. Her Junior year came along where she was a part of concurrent enrollment classes, a leadership course, and a religious education mentor. At the end of her junior year, her parents had decided to move to Texas for personal and financial reasons. Not wanting to leave the opportunities she would get in Colorado she stayed behind for her future. Having difficulties living away from home, she focused on work and school. This allowed her to not want to wait until college to make a difference; with other students and staff, they began a mentoring program with middle schoolers at Lincoln, to help students just like her. Having the best grades in her education and the dedication to help others like her she decided the correct career for her would be as an educator, a mentor, a teacher for other students like
I would like to write this letter of recommendation for Kara Davis for consideration to join the Hampton University Pre-Health Program. I have known Ms. Davis this year as a Chemistry Lab student of mine here at Hampton.
While growing up Erica didn’t face many personal or family struggles. The worst struggle was losing their home. Erica was a rebel in middle school. Growing up in the 90’s wasn’t that easy. Skinny jeans were not invented yet so she just to wear rubber bands at the end of her jeans so they could look better with her Jordan’s. By rebel she meant she became more social and became more interested in boys. Wasn’t allowed to have boyfriends. Was very dedicated to softball. Softball kept her on track to keep her grades up. Her friends didn’t like her focusing on her goal of going to college. Is planning to get her masters at Ucla or Csun. She is the oldest of her siblings. She wants to become a teacher but her desire to teacher has nothing to do with her father being a teacher. When she got to college that’s when she faced some struggles she was in an abusive relationship everything
Alexie had a hard time growing up being bullied but still muddled through to become valedictorian and go to college. The reason behind Alexie sharing his hardships of going through school is to show it is not impossible to overcome the hardships that may come up during school and that once you leave it is nothing but a memory. Alexie shows his strength and success in this essay.
Many people are crafted by the events that have had an impact them and made them who they are today. Like me, I have had so many experiences in my life that have made me who I am today, but there is one that defines me and made me how I am overall. The one experience that truly shaped me and made who I am today is an event that happened on my first day in 1st Grade.
It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Alexis Santerre. It has been my pleasure to know Alexis throughout her high school career. Her infectious smile and charming personality makes it a treat to be in her company. Although I find Alexis well above her age in maturity, she remembers to have fun, as a high school student should. She can always be counted on to get the job done and have it meet more than your expectations. She is very self-sufficient and is true to herself and her ethics. An individual and a true leader by example, she is not swayed by the masses, and feels compelled to not only live a moral life but to stand up for her beliefs. Teachers see her as a positive contributor in the classroom, and she is well liked and
As a student, Kevin Louis is quite the typical kind of person somewhat can call a "nerd" or "geek". Currently a senior at Deerfield Beach High School in his last year of being in a public school, he still has a long way to go to hopefully do something great in his life and succeed at something good. Challenges from the past such as living in quite a harsh lifestyle with his family to make ends meet to sometimes not being able to eat between two to three days intervals, he tries his best to continue his education as a way to hopefully support his family in the end. With him being not so spolied in the past due to the limited amount of money his parents had to raise him, it quite help him be a bit discplined and be thankful of what he has. Though,
As a young elementary school girl I dreamt of being like the high school seniors in my community. I would watch them laugh, have fun with their friends at games and school functions. I dreamt of when it would be my turn. Between then and now I acquired ambitious goals and dreams. These desires and my drive to push and be my best require I put much of my energy into my school work and extracurricular activities. I want to get into a good college and get a quality education, without the major student debts. These goals paired with my aspirations to excel in academics, cheer, and the clubs I'm a part of, has spread me pretty thin over the school year. I never imagined my senior year would look like this. I'm so stressed about all my obligations, and my future I forget to enjoy my last days of high school. If I want to accomplish the things I want; place well at state cheer, graduate with a 4.0, attain scholarships, score well on my AP exams, maintain friends, I just have to do what has to be done. This pressure to be successful, compete with other young adults across the nation and within my school is a direct example of the success Mead describes in her
Looming in front of me was something new, a fresh start. Despite being this, it seemed cold and trying, something that sent shivers down my spine. Mixed emotions of uncertainty and optimism had filled my first day of middle school; and as my final year is drawing to a close, I realize that this place-this transitional time in my life- is something that I never want to leave. I created a home away from home, and a family, over the short three years spent learning here. Each school year, from first to concluding, brought new experiences in which have altered my life. These are the things that I am hoping to carry over into high school-my next chapter. Every experience in which middle school has brought leaves me changed indefinitely, shaped for the future ahead.
Another quality Nikki embodies is the ability to overcome adversity. Throughout her academic years, Nikki has been forced to deal with family issues beyond her ability to control. Rather than getting caught up in the self-pity and the unfairness of life, Nikki has chosen to view these adversities as opportunities to develop courage, character, and perseverance. Nikki has always taken the initiative to create a support system of external resources including teachers, family, and peers. This was very challenging at first because it meant exposing her inner fears and confronting those
Today would've been Kaylynn’s 16 birthday. She would’ve gotten her first car today, just like Logan did. She died at the age of 8. The doctors tried everything. Her poor heart just gave out on her. She tried to live. She never gave up on herself. She went to school, and did everything the other kids did. She didn’t let her disease stop her. She may of not been good at it, but she tried. Kaylynn inspired many, especially me. She pushed herself, she didn’t want special treatment. She knew if she believed in herself she could do anything. When she turned six we took her to Disney World. She has always loved to pretend to be a princess and her dream came true since then she followed her dream. She always was telling everyone not to give up that she believed they could do it. She helped everyone follow their dreams. If Kaylynn were still alive, I would say
Nice post. I agree that virtue ethics goes beyond ethical codes. Virtue ethics represent the moral values and beliefs of a person. When a person constantly does good acts and does not look for recognition, they represent a person with virtue ethics. They see others before they see themselves. They practice the principle of doing good that benefits the society. A person who has virtue ethics has ideal character traits and avoids bringing harm to others. Professionals in the psychology and counseling should definitely have virtue ethics. Clients and patients are trusting professionals with their personal issues and looking for help. There are a few clients at my job who have expressed they would like to have out former psychiatrist
