I enjoy having Haile in my Professional Communication and Financial Literacy courses this year at Green Mountain Technology and Career Center. Hailee has impressed me with her diligence and creativity. Hailee demonstrates an incredibly motivated work ethic and willingness to improve upon assignments. While writing an analytical essay on the flaws within the American Dream, for instance, Hailee took it upon herself to do complete the assignment ahead of its deadline in order to have ample time to make improvements prior to receiving a final grade. It was clear that Hailee, although not particularly passionate about the English class curriculum, was motivated to become a better writer, even if that means producing multiple drafts and revising specific sections of her essay for accuracy and clarity. It is this kind of effort that leads me to believe that she will be successful no matter the writing capacity, Based on my experience as both an Advance Placement Composition and Humanities instructor, I have confidence that Hailee’s work ethic will lead her to success should you afford her the opportunity.
