To whom it may concern,

I recommend Francesca Scarmato for acceptance into your graduate program in
Adolescent Education and Teaching Students with Disabilities. Francesca was a
student of mine at St. John’s University, and her work ethic is admirable, being an active
participant in our Human Relations course for which she earned an A. I am aware that
Francesca has always wanted to become a math teacher since her hope is to help all
students understand math which many find challenging.
Francesca would be an excellent candidate for this program since she will have
completed her undergraduate degree in Adolescent Education at St. John’s University.
If accepted into your program she would hope to complete her Masters in Special
Education obtaining additional certification in this area. Francesca is looking forward to
teaching all students and believes that a degree focusing on students with disabilities
will give her the tools she would need to teach all students.
Francesca hopes to grow professionally and to become the best teacher she can
be, especially helping students with the greatest needs. Completing this program would
allow her to achieve this goal that she has set for herself.
Please contact me if you need any more information regarding Francesca’s
acceptance into your Master’s program, and I thank you for your consideration of this
fine young woman and excellent student.

Sincerely,
Jo N. Rossicone
