My friend Madison Gibbs, also known as Gibby, is the definition of outstanding. She is hardworking, caring, and so very kind. She has never met a stranger in her life and treats everyone with equal respect. Her smile, which she wears everyday with ease, is simply contagious. No matter what may be going on in her life or how stressed she may be, Gibby is always smiling! She is extremely dedicated to her dreams and works hard to make them a reality; once she found out what profession she wanted to go into, Gibby took the most vigorous course load she possibly could in order to prepare herself for college this upcoming fall. Her course load for senior year includes classes such as pre-calculus, physics, and trigonometry. She participates in our …show more content…
Every day she inspires me, as well as everyone around her, to work a little harder, be a littler kinder, and smile a little brighter. If everyone could be as bold and courageous as Gibby, I am one hundred percent sure that this world would be a much better place to live in. Coming from a rural area in the south of the United States, there is only a handful of African Americans that attend our high school; however, Gibby does not limit herself to being friends with just the members of her same race. Despite skin color, gender, or sexual orientation, Gibby is kind to absolutely everyone and always makes everybody feel at home and welcome when they are around her.
In conclusion, Madison Gibbs is an extraordinary individual. She is accepting, devoted, and caring. These qualities, as well as her actions, inspire me to be a better version of myself. Because of her, I always remember to wear a big smile on my face. If she can overcome adversity on a daily basis and still manage to shine so brightly, so can I! Thanks to her, I know that good people still exist in this world and that life does not have to be so bad; however, Gibby’s largest contribution would have to be being a friend to all. I am extremely honored to call Miss Madison Gibbs my best

Everyone has turning points in life that can change them completely and sometimes it changes many others with them. Melba, Jackie, and Feng Ru changed their countries because they had a turning point in life and those turning points that they had are found from the resources” I Never Had It Made” by Jackie Robinson, “ The Father Of Chinese Aviation” by Rebecca Maksel, and “ Warriors Don’t Cry “ by Melba Pattillo Beals. Melba, Jackie, and Feng Ru all faced challenges but those challenges led them to a greater good that changed their countries. Jackie Robinson changed the way that people look at him and his race because he was a great ballplayer ,even though he was the first African American to play in the major league baseball.

Fabiola was a student in my sixth grade class during the 2013-14 school year at Roosevelt Elementary School. She has a great attitude and a positive spirit. Fabiola maintained good grades, worked very hard each day, and enjoyed contributing to classroom discussions. Fabiola would ask for help when needed and always seemed to have a pleasant outlook on things. She is not afraid to “speak up” or to share in front of a group of peers. I think these are positive traits that will help her in the future.

Melba Pattillo Beals, was one of the first African-American students to go to Little Rock Central High School, she and her Eight friends then came to be the "Little Rock Nine". While they were at school, only a few other students behaved/acted normal around them. Most days Melba would be worried if she was going to get hurt, when she was most-likely going to have to all the segregationists' telling the other student's to do so. She went through hard times until the soldiers came, but even they couldn't stop everything that was happening. When the soldiers left, she was scared, but after a while, Melba held her head high, and moved on, and became stronger and braver. I face challenges every day that are similar to Melba. One challenge is when
Beginning with the first day of class, Amy has impressed me as being exceptional in every sense of the word. Amy excels in all areas, particularly the domains of scholarship, character, citizenship, and leadership.
Adjusting to college life is incredibly hard, as I have learned in past couple of weeks. Juggling classes, homework, social life, and other activities can be a lot for anyone and especially a first year student. Even harder is getting involved on a new campus and being active in organizations when you are trying to keep up with everything else. Leah Coyle has done all of this beautifully and with so much grace. She has been a huge part in my hall government’s success.
She is a born leader, and works excellently in groups and frequently pushes her groups to reach their goals. Furthermore, I have rarely seen a student more respectful to both teachers and her peers than Georgia. She is a very social person, and is both outgoing and funny. Georgia is also exceptionally creative. She is always pushing herself to look at challenges and assignments in a different way and it always pays off, especially when writing essays and in other written assignments, as she is an amazing writer. The characteristics that Georgia has demonstrated throughout her entire high school career have prepared her for the upcoming challenge of collegiate academics. I am certain she will approach these new opportunities with the same persistency and drive for excellence that she applies to all of her endeavors, especially as she challenges herself with the new learning experiences and community that are available in the college setting. To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards. Sincerely, Georgia Beckmann Head of College Counselling Prospect Hill Academy Charter School Collegiate

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Sydnee Yeager for admission to your college. I have acted as Sydnee’s school counselor for the past three years now. One of my first experiences with Sydnee was generating her freshman year schedule. She was quite nervous to start the high school but transitioned quite well. Over the years, her skills and passion for learning have certainly prepared her for all future goals she has set in place. Her personality shines, and she has no problem connecting with her peers and faculty members. She is a joy to be around.
