To Whom it May Concern:

It is my great honor and pleasure to write a letter in support of Ms.

Kayla Simpson. Ive had the privilege of teaching Kayla and watching
her grow and mature over the past 3 years. She has shown herself to
be a smart, determined, well organized, confident, and capable young
woman.
Kayla is a determined and self-reflective practitioner. She learns
quickly and makes adjustments easily from constructive feedback. She
has a unique talent of very in depth self reflection and assessment that
leads her to revamp and revise her practice and instructional choices
based on things she feels she could/should have done better after each
instructional opportunity. Most of the times she is far more critical than
those who witnessed her in practice ever would be. Her personal high
expectations will carry her far in this profession.
Kayla is a very intelligent young lady who approaches each day with a
spirit of purpose and accomplishment that drives the choices she
makes. I have seen how dedicated she is to the work she submits in
class and how diligently she strives to meet deadlines and present her
finished accomplishments in the best possible light. She has been
placed in some challenging settings to facilitate instructional
benchmarks with some high needs behavior issues to work around and
manage. She has achieved this with patience, humility, and humor in
a way that very much resembles that of a veteran in this profession.
Kayla has grown tremendously in her confidence and abilities in the
few short years I have known her. She actively seeks constructive
feedback, applies harsh self-reflection techniques to everything she
does, and works diligently to include the suggestions and changes she
receives in meaningful ways. She is truly a go-getter and one of
Wesleyans finest in every sense of the word.
I look forward to speaking with you at any time in regard to this truly
remarkable young woman.
Respectfully,
