To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ashley Vang. I have known Ashley for 4
years as she has been in my English class as well as my AVID class. As a student, Ashley
constantly emits a positive drive to succeed in everything she does. This motivation is
obvious not only to me but to the students around her. She challenges herself to tackle
difficult assignments that push her to overcome obstacles that most people avoid. She is
a very motivated and hard-working young adult. I have noticed the positive attitude she
displays in the classroom. She is very assertive and selfless. Ashley is a very friendly,
helpful, and polite young lady. She is well liked by her peers and adults.
Along with being an excellent student, Ashley has also demonstrated many valuable
work related skills. Ashley shows wonderful time management, she has a great eye for
detail, she can work in an area with many distractions without losing the quality of her
work, and she enjoys a challenge. Ashley has been an active member of the AVID Club,
FHA, and Pacific Club at Merced High School, as well a volunteer for many organizations
around town. Ashley has done all of this while maintaining over a 3.0 GPA.
Ashley is a very ambitious person who will strive for success in any situation in
which she is presented with. I feel as an educator that Ashley has the ability and
experience to be a great asset for any organization or school. If there are any concerns,
please contact me at Merced High School. My phone number is (209) 385-6454.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Gentry
AVID Coordinator
