Garza Independence High School

April 20, 2012 To whom it may concern: It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for a former student of mine, Avery Galvez. Avery has been enrolled at Garza High School since January of 2011 and has worked hard to complete the course credits and all of the requirements that she needed for high school graduation. Determination, independence, intelligence, and creativity are her hallmarks. Our curriculum is completely self-paced, with students the owners of their learning. Avery has completed the Government and Economics curriculum in this classroom. She has both a great attitude and the ability to maintain focus on the tasks presented her. Her work is always quality, and she strives to understand the concepts she is learning. I appreciated her warm smile and positive energy in class each day. Avery is personable and hard-working, and she works well without supervision. She came to school as often as she could and showed us that education was important for her. Her maturity and positive attitude were so refreshing. Avery brings light with her wherever she goes, and will be greatly missed in this classroom and at this campus. I wish Avery the best of luck while she plans to work and to continue her studies in Cosmetology. She will be very effective in business school and whatever path she chooses for the future. I recommend Avery Galvez for any work or educational experience she may wish to pursue. Please don't hesitate to call me for any further information I might be able to provide you. Sincerely,

Barbara Aviles-Torsberg
