I am writing to you to urge you to consider Stephany Estrada for the teaching position available at your school. Ms Estrada embodies everything to be a great addition to the team that would make any school proud. Thad the pleasure of knowing Stephany since her sophomore year in high school; I was her Algebra II teacher. As a young student, Stephany exceled from her peers because of her hard work, punctuality and interest in learning. She showed qualities that for such a young age it was, easy to see that she would get far in life. Ms Estrada now is a UTEP student that has not fallen short from high expectations. She is truly a dedicated student that shows ambition to be successful academically and in life. Stephany has set herself academic goals and itis striving to achieve them with great success. ‘Throughout the years we have maintained a relationship of mentor/ pupil where she has taught me and is a reminder, to me as an educator, of the reason I teach. Ms Estrada is an example that education is a way to change the world. She has truly grown up to be a scholar that has commitment, strength, ethics, responsibility and knows that it is all done through hard work. Stephany is not only enthusiastic about her education but also of becoming a future educator herself. thas always been a pleasure and an honor to work alongside Stephany Estrada. Because of this and without reservations, I strongly encourage you to consider Stephany for the teaching position available at your school.
