To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write this letter expressing my highest regard to the character of Caitlyn PotterJohnson. I have had the privilege of getting to know Caitlyn as a student in three of my classes: Physics,
Zoology, and Human Anatomy.. She has proven to be an outstanding person who is kind to her peers
and the type of student I wish I could fill my classroom with.
I feel that Caitlyns work ethic is her greatest attribute. Whereas some students are complacent to do the
bare minimum to get by, Caitlyn always took the time to make sure she was doing her absolute best.
She put in a great deal of time out of class to be sure she understood every single detail of the
curriculum. As a result of her hard work, she earned an A in every science class she has taken.
The attribute that I appreciate most about Caitlyn is her sense of humor. Although Caity rarely spoke up
in class, you could always see that the wheels were turning. She would interject at the most opportune
times to liven up the conversation. I truly appreciate the pranks and fun times I have had with Caity
over the years. She will be a welcome addition to a future place of employment or college program.
It is the combination of Caitlyns determination and strong work ethic that will allow her to find success
in any path she chooses to pursue in the future. If you would like to discuss Caitlyn any further, please
contact me at (989) 560-0656 or (989) 828-6601.
Sincerely,

Tracie Lentz
Science Department Chairperson
