To Whom It May Concern:

I would like you to consider this letter as my highest approval of Samantha Obarski. She is an outstanding student
and a kind person.

Samantha is an independent learner, but she is also not afraid to ask for help if she needs it. She maintains great
grades and takes an interest in the material covered in class. She is amongst the highest academic achievers I
currently have. She listens carefully in class as is apparent from her excellent test scores.

Ms. Obarski is a very mature individual. She displays exemplary employability skills. She is always prepared for
class and punctual. She never makes excuses for her rare shortcomings and her work is always completed with
professionalism and attention to detail.

Besides academics, I also know Samantha to be a nice person with a great attitude. She is kind to others and goes
out of her way to be helpful to teachers and classmates. She sets a great example to her peers.

In closing, I believe that Samantha possesses many skills that will allow her to be successful beyond Western High
School. She takes academics seriously. She is a mature, responsible, and is a caring individual. I will miss having
Ms. Obarski in class next year but I am sure she will go on to much success in her future.

Sincerely,

James R. Rissi
Science Teacher
