As
a
teacher
at
Bow
Valley
High
School,
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
knowing
Karissa
for
a
full
school
year,
from
2013-2014.
I
was
her
teacher
for
ELL
(English
Language
Learning).
During
the
time
Karissa
was
in
my
class,
she
was
studious
and
took
pride
in
completing
work
was
to
the
best
of
her
ability.
She
often
went
above
and
beyond
when
working
on
projects
and
she
excelled
at
collaborating
in
groups.
Because
of
the
great
diversity
with
the
English
language
learners
in
my
class,
Karissa
organized
a
day
in
which
she
shared
her
Filipino
culture
with
everyone.
It
was
a
great
celebration
where
we
were
all
able
to
share
food
as
well
as
learn
and
appreciate
the
Filipino
language.
Karissa
is
an
intelligent,
patient
and
compassionate
young
woman.
If
I
ever
needed
help
with
something,
Karissa
is
someone
I
would
ask,
as
she
is
determined
and
integrous.
I
am
confident
that
Karissa
will
succeed
in
her
future
endeavors.
Please
do
not
hesitate
to
contact
me
should
you
require
any
further
information.
