To whom it may concern:

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Phillip Le over the last 2 years. I met
Phillip as student in my Precalculus class. During this time, I have observed Phillip to
be a hard working, responsible person who is very passionate about learning.
Academically, he consistently completed all assigned work and routinely scored high on
assessments. He was also very active participant in collaborative assignments and
group discussions. Currently, Phillip maintains a grade point average of 4.0 and has
plans to pursue a career as an Aerospace Engineering.
Outside the classroom, Phillip keeps busy with work, athletics, hobbies and
clubs. He has been employed in home constructing where is worked over 100 hours
over the last 2 years learning the trade. He was a member of the El Capitan High
School freshman football team and a member of the wrestling team where he won
multiple medals. Phillip hobbies include cycling, boxing, taekwondo, singing and
cooking. Phillip has also been involved in many clubs such as the Anime club, the
Breakdance club and the Robotics club.
Phillip also has a passion to help others. He currently has almost 80 hours of
volunteer time. He has volunteered 10 hours at the Applegate park zoo, 3.5 hours at
with Merced City Youth Council and 4 hours helping the El Capitan FFA. Most of his
volunteer times come from helping the HPEC where he has 58 hours of service time.
On top of all the success Phillip has had in his academics, I have found Phillip to
be a kind and respectful person with a heart to help others. It is because of these
characteristics that I have no reservation in recommending Mr. Phillip Le to any program
he applies for. He will be a strong asset to any group, organization or institute he is
associated with.
