Kayla has chosen a very impressive Senior Project where she is working on a program that assists fami poor economical situations and the program will help them get back to a stable environment. Ihave known Kayla for almost four years and it is with great pride as her teacher, director and mentor, that I have observed an immense amount of fortitude, perseverance, initiative, intelligence and talent flourish over her time at Santa Susana High School. She not only excels in the academies but the performing arts, as well. Kayla is a high achiever who ex! maturity, responsibility, reliability and organiza beyond her years as well as possessing an extremely high level of competence as a “team player,” in addition to passionate, caring with a love of life and a great sense of humor, virtues not seen in many her age. She enjoys a challenge and works diligently to improve in all areas whether it is school work or performance. In addition, Kayla displays a high level of self-confidence as well as being very “level headed” where she can still succeed under stress, which gives her the drive needed to succeed. In regards to her Senior Project, Kayla has already held an art benefit to fundraise money for her program while she tied that in for her Girl Scout Gold Award. In this art benefit there was a large display of art as well as performances done by Santa Susana High students, The art pieces were all based on the theme: Kindness and Equality in the Eeonomy. Kayla’s goal for her project is to stress the importance of arts education for children of all ethnicities, economical situations or of mental ability. In closing, with Kayla Hamburg’s talent, self-confidence, dedication, perseverance and intelligence, I feel very confident that Kayla’s Senior Project will be very successful, Singerely, 77 te leatk Mle Ler VAT, A Mrs. Melissa Albertson, Theatre Educator/Director ‘Santa Susana High School of the Arts
