February 8, 2016 To Whom It May Concer: Ithas been my pleasure to know Michelle Lee for the past year but it feels as if I have known Ms. Lee much longer. I first observed Michelle as a student in my English class at Merced High School. I have had the pleasure of watching Michelle work diligently towards her diploma over her last year of high school. Thave had numerous interactions with Ms. Lee. She has sought my help before and after school this year and has been helpful and motivated during class. As a student in my English class she is diligent, seriously attempting to understand and complete all requirements. She is a pleasure to have in the classroom, again always presenting herself respectfully and with the demeanor exceeding that of a typical high school student. 1 feel any program or business would be fortunate to have Ms, Lee as an employee or volunteer. I feel this particularly true because she is individual who is extremely cordial and has a great deal of determination and desire. She has achieved several accolades including Perfect Attendance and the ROP Certificate of Excellence. All of these achievements demonstrate her ability to multi-task and her drive to become a well-rounded individual. I know this young lady possesses great skills to excel in her field of interest. Her initiative, strong work ethic, and pleasant demeanor certainly qualify her as a most worthy applicant, Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. Ms, Michelle Lee has my recommendation, Sincerely, Kassie Mua English Teacher Merced High School kmua@muhsd.org ‘Home of Scholars and Champions"
