S i r/Madam:

It is a great pleasure for me to recommend Shay Allen Leonard for admission in your
prestigious institution despite not passing the standard score in your Mathematics Exam. He is
one of the most extraordinary students I have encountered in more than 30 years of teaching. I
had Shay in Algebra and Trigonometry in my Grade 9 and 10 class, and he was one of the
students in an extremely able group of mostly seniors.

He has a high aptitude for math and was very much involved in his work, applying himself with
persistent dedication and often going beyond the regular class assignments. He took over
completely, preparing lectures, assignments, and tests with great care and thought. His lectures
were clear and well organized, and it was obvious that he expanded a great deal of effort to make
the course the success that it was.

Shay’s personal qualities are as impressive as his intellectual accomplishments. The maturity that
he has demonstrated leads me to believe he is ready for a senior high of your caliber. I sincerely
hope you will offer him a place in your senior high class!

Respectfully,

BRENDA F. DE GUZMAN
