To Whom It May Concern,
It is a pleasure to be writing this letter of recommendation for Nathan Gildersleeve. As Nathans AP US
History teacher, I have continually been impressed with his exceptional quality of work as a student, and
outstanding character as a person. Mr. Gildersleeve displays great leadership skills and is a founding
member of the Robotics Club and gaming club.
Buckingham Charter Magnet High School is a small college prep school with very high expectations. As
a social studies teacher at this school I strive to have our students not only master the content but come
to their own reasoned conclusions about historical and current events. In this very competitive
atmosphere, Nathan has continued to exceed expectations.
Mr. Gildersleeve does not merely complete assigned work in order to receive a grade, but rather,
synthesizes new information in a broader understanding of the subject. His eloquent style and natural
ability to articulately express himself through his writing is demonstrated in every assignment that he
turns in. His work consistently shows not only completion, but higher level critical thinking skills.
Nathan has a great rapport with his classmates and the staff of the entire school. He collaborates with
other students during group work and meaningfully contributes to class discussions. He treats everyone
with kindness and respect while firmly voicing his opinions. Mr. Gildersleeve is an independent thinker,
and is the type of student that will accomplish whatever goal he sets his mind to.
Please dont hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.
Cordially,

James Buescher
