Lam very pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Francess Carpenter. She is a
student in my ROP Medical Technologies class at Golden Valley High School and is a
determined student, planning to become a pediatric registered nurse.

tremendously since she enrolled in the class in August 2016, resulting in her maintaining an “
average throughout her time in my college-level medical technologies class. She is very involved
in the class, asking high-level cognitive questions and learning material above and beyond what
is covered in the class. She is also a natural leader, as evidenced by her work in the classroom
and as a member of her swimming and water polo teams, where she received the Academic
Athlete Award, MVP, and Coach’s Award. She will further develop her leadership and
interpersonal skills once she begins job shadowing with a pediatric nurse at Mercy Medical
Center Merced this spring.
Francess is inyolved in campus activities as a member of Link Crew and the Orange
Wave Club when she is not maintaining a 4.3 GPA with such rigorous classes as AP English, AP
Government, Pre-Cal Honors, and Anatomy/Physiology. She also works as a volunteer at Mercy
Medical Center Merced. gaining skills which will enhance her ability to be successful in the
medical field as a nurse.
It is clear that Francess will find success in the goals sh il
n ce goals she has set for herself. She will
efinitely be a great asset in the medical field as a pediatric registered nurse, Please accept m
Tecommendation of Francess Carpenter completely and without reservation. :
