After each day, the students would hang out in the dorms and Gabriela was always open and kind to others. There was an incident where a student had a panic attack and Gabriela called me and stayed with the student until I reached them. Gabriela stayed with the student the entire night and even slept in the room of the student because the student didn’t want to sleep alone.

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.

To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards.

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.

Zach is a remarkable student that balances academic with extracurricular activities and volunteer work while still holding down a job.
