EL DORADO HIGH SCHOOL 561 Canal Street, Placerville, California 95667 Phone (530) 622-3634/Fax (530) 622-1802 Mr. Chas Prior, Principal March 31, 2016 To Whom It May Concern, I have known Taylor Gear for three years, and in that time, she has demonstrated herself to be a hard worker and critical thinker. She is invariably engaged in learning and completes all tasks assigned to her. Although she appears to just be quiet and unassuming in class, Ms. Gear is constantly observing and considering all comments being made and assessing them for validity. Despite her propensity for introversion, on the ‘eccasions that she feels strongly about a topic or has a critical observation that the rest of the class has missed, she readily volunteers her thoughts and opinions. She is meticulous in her work and typically turns in an excellent product because she has added tiny details and edited for mistakes and to otherwise improve it. Ms. Gear has been involved in the Health Careers Academy at El Dorado High School for four years. As an Academy student, she has been challenged to learn and use medical terminology and skills as well as encouraged to participate in community service. Throughout, she has maintained a 3.5 GPA, positive attendance, and honor roll status. Her academic efforts have paid off as she applied to and was accepted to California State University-Sacramento, where she plans to study business administration, for the fall term. Ms. Gear's attention to detail, determination to finish what she starts, and keen observation skills are all characteristics that will help her to succeed, not only in college but also in her chosen field of business administration, whether she decides to focus on the accounting side or human resources.
