I am very pleased to write this recommendation on behalf of Layla Bell. Layla has been a student in the accelerated liberal arts program at Holymount High for her entire five years of high school. During that period, I have observed her grow into a poised and accomplished young woman. She is an exceptional student with excellent grades resulting from diligent work habits. In fact, for two years in a row, she has been the top honour student achieving higher than the 95 percentile in all her subjects.
Additionally, Layla has superior interpersonal skills and works equally well independently or in a group setting. She also displays good leadership skills when involved in group projects. She is very well liked and respected by both her peers and her teachers. She was voted student council leader for the past two years as well, mainly due to her ability to get the students to agree on important modern student issues. It is therefore unsurprising that she was chosen as valedictorian for her grade.
Among her many service activities at the school, Layla was a coach of the junior track team for the past two years and she was a member of the senior cross-country team. She also took part in the Mentoring Program and helped a number of juniors navigate their way through their first year of high school. In addition, Layla was involved in organizing a number of fund-raising projects at the school, including a team marathon event that raised more than $5,000 for cancer research.
Layla has shown an ongoing interest in world affairs and international development. It is my understanding that she intends to pursue an Honors degree in Political Science or Sociology. She has traveled extensively and has written outstanding reports with observations on conditions she has witnessed throughout the world. So, it is with honour and unquestionable belief that I believe that Layla Bell has tremendous potential as a student, and I feel quite confident that she would be an asset to both student life and academics at MacDonald University. More than anything I think she deserves a chance to demonstrate to you her capacity.
