Re: Student Ray Joshua Bautista Valdez Recommendation Letter

Dear Law School Admission Committee

Joshua asked me to supply you with a letter of reference in support of her application for
admission to your law school. Suzie has been a student of mine in College Algebra (2010) and
Statistics with Probability (2013). I have been teaching in Tertiary Level since 2009, at San
Sebastian College-Manila for 7 years and National University at present. I am one full professors
in my department.
Joshua student definitely falls into one of the top 100 students I have taught, measured
against approximately 7,000 students. His outstanding grasp of logic, maturity, clarity, and
communication skills have made him a standout. I view these skills as extremely important in her
planned career.
In my College Algebra class students participated in problem solving, and in my Statistics
with Probability class there were presentations. Joshau excelled in both subjects and was one of
the few students with perfect attendance in both courses. Without being loud or interruptive, he
was a ready and regular participant in class discussions and always added value to such
discussion—a rare occurrence indeed.
It has been a pleasure to write this letter for Joshua Student. I hope you are able to take into
account that his grades during the last two years are more representative of her true ability and I
feel as strongly about a student’s potential to excel in law school.

Warmest Regards,

Prof. John Irish G. Lira, PhD
