To Whom It May Concern:

It is of great pleasure to write this letter recommending Bao Chang in her desire to pursue higher
education. I have known Bao since August 2017 and I was impressed in her dedication and
passion in staying focused in her academics and extracurricular activities. Bao certainly
demonstrates a profound dedicated work ethic in my Integrated Math 3 and shows her ability to
maintain her focused during class.

Bao is a determined individual that has the drive to work hard in order to have a legendary and
successful future. I have been able to see her tenacity in staying focused in school and being able
to obtain a 4.0 GPA during her time in high school. Moreover, Bao has imposing characteristics
that include being dedicated, responsible, reliable, and respectful. Bao has been an ambitious
individual where she has made it possible to be employed since May 2016 and balance her
academics. Furthermore, Bao has spent 240 hours of her time to give back to the community in
being part of the Key, Club, Leo Club, and helping at the homeless shelter. On top of school,
Bao dedicates time to enjoy playing badminton, reading, and painting.

Without a doubt, Bao is an independent hard working young lady that has the skills and the
perseverance to be successful in earning her Master's degree in Psychology. In addition, Bao is
an exceptional intelligent young lady and a great asset; I recommend her for any endeavor she
chooses to pursue. Thank you.
