To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Chang Xiong. I have known Chang for two years as he has
been in the Merced High School AVID elective. As a student, Chang constantly emits a positive drive to succeed
in everything he does. This motivation is obvious not only to me but to the students around him. He challenges
himself to tackle difficult assignments that push him to overcome obstacles that most people avoid. He is a very
motivated and hard-working young adult. I have noticed the positive attitude he displays in the classroom. He
is very assertive and selfless. Chang is a very friendly, helpful, and polite young man. He is well liked by his peers
and adults.

Along with being an excellent student, Chang has also demonstrated many valuable work related skills.
Chang shows wonderful time management, he has a great eye for detail, he can work in an area with many
distractions without losing the quality of his work, and he enjoys a challenge. Chang has been an active member
of the AVID Club and elective class for two years, as well as the Leo, Asian & APS clubs at Merced High School.
Chang has been a member of the volleyball team and has worked as a cashier on campus. Chang has done all of
this while maintaining over a 3.0 GPA.

Chang is a very ambitious person who will strive for success in any situation in which he is presented
with. I feel as an educator that Chang has the ability and experience to be a great asset for any organization or
school. If there are any concerns, please contact me at Merced High School. My phone number is (209) 385-
6454.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Gentry
AVID Coordinator
