My recommendation if for the candidate to continue to maintain the current growth and demonstrate the ability to focus on the strengths and
weaknesses of every individual. The second visit proved to be very successful. Much growth was evident and the CE noted the vast improvements
that had been witnessed from observation one to observation two.
