Dear Scholarship Committee:

I am so very pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Deysi Lopez. I have had the
honor to teach Deysi in 11th grade in American Studies and again this year in Chicano
Studies. In that time I have seen Deysi develop as a collaborative, creative student. Deysi
is a diligent worker who is always in class on time and paying attention. She always gets
her work done to high levels. Deysi adds to class discussions and is a very insightful,
thoughtful student.

At New Tech High, students work in teams to complete projects in all subject areas. Deysi
takes the responsibility to make sure that her team’s work is completed to high standards
and on time. She is well liked by all her classmates, as she is an effective collaborator. She
is creative and often works beyond the parameters of the project.

This year in Chicano Studies, Deysi wrote a beautiful poetry analysis on “Tonight I Can Almost
Hear the Singing” by Silvia Curbelo. Deysi brings personal insights into her interpretation of the
poem and imbues the essay with a profound understanding. Deysi also recited this poem for
Poetry Out Loud. Public speaking is not easy for a soft-spoken introvert like Deysi, but she rose
to the occasion, nailing the recitation.

I hope you will give Deysi your highest consideration. I know that she will be a successful
college student because of her strong work ethic. At New Tech we are very proud of what
Deysi has accomplished and look forward to watching her meet her next goals.

Sincerely,

Nancy Hale
