To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing this letter in support of Chawnacee Teschera. I have known Chawnacee for two
years, starting as my student in Physics. In the time that I have known her, I have seen Chawnacee grow
into a confident and hardworking young woman. Chawnacee has always been a responsible student and
has a great personality. She is also kind and thoughtful, and always puts her best effort into her work.
Chawnacee works well in groups, and knows the value of both team and individual work. I have seen
her keep others on task as well, reminding them of deadlines and helping them when they are in need.
Chawnacee has shown that she is able to set both short and long term goals and strive to achieve them.
She is ambitious and is always up for a challenge.
Chawnacee has been very involved on campus since coming to Merced High. She has been part
of our cheer team, is a scholar-athlete, and has been a member of our campus leadership. Chawnacee is
currently in an internship with Day Out, where she works with the elderly, providing them with
companionship. She is also a Link Leader on our campus, where she mentors younger students in lower
grades.
In closing, I hope that you will consider Chawnacee Teschera on my recommendation. She is an
outstanding person, and has a bright future ahead of her. I know that through her dedication and other
skills, she will be successful in all of his future endeavors. I look forward to seeing the person she will
become.
