It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for
Kylie Cianciolo as she applies to four-year universities. I have been a friend of Kylie and her family for the past 12 years and have watched her work through challenges and grow to be an independent and self-moti- vated young woman. During her high school years, Kylie forged her own path to find an envi- ronment she would thrive in, as is evidenced by the classes she chose and her success at Tri-C. She took ownership of her education by pursuing in- terdisciplinary studies in both science and the arts. I’m sure the decision to be a College Credit Plus Student required her to take a leap both aca- demically and socially. She has proven herself to be a well-rounded and accomplished student. I also see Kylie through the eyes of an educator with 38 years of experi- ence. Like education, the cognitive sciences are fields that require both academic rigor and lots of soft skills in working with others. Kylie is most certainly a very kind, empathetic and patient person. She is curious about others and a good communicator. Kylie has demonstrated to me many times that she has a natural gift in working with children. These aspects of her personality make her a good fit for the field she is choosing to pur- sue. I am looking forward to seeing the future that Kylie builds for herself. I feel that she would be a real asset to your program. If you have any addi- tional questions please contact me at (440)289-8127 or LindaLapping@gmail.com.
