To Whom It May Concern:

I have known Veronica Lazaro for a year now. From my experience with Veronica, I can say
that she is an outstanding student. She has earned excellent grades and accomplishes all school
requirements that she is require to complete. I can say with confidence that she is mature and
trustworthy. She has established herself as a credible and trustworthy student among her peers
and the members of NOVA Academy.

Veronica believes passionately in helping others. She is a selfless and intelligent student with
strong values and respect for others. I'm looking forward to seeing all the good that Veronica can
continue to do for her fellow students in college and beyond, as well as the excellent work that
she will produce at the college level.

Veronica is a trustworthy, reliable student who has shown great leadership skills. Her
participation in Global Girls demonstrates her leadership in helping others. She is a pleasure to
have in class, and her positive attitude is an immensely admirable asset. I believe she will
continue to demonstrate the same diligence, perseverance, and optimism that she has shown in
the year I have had her as a student. I hope that this letter will aid greatly in representing the type
of student Veronica Lazaro has become in her high school career.

Sincerely,
Mark Cruickshank
