Because of Shayla’s impeccable character, driven work ethic, and positive disposition, a letter of this nature comes with glowing accolades. Shayla's impeccable character is found in many different areas of her life. She volunteers her time to work with children in our children’s ministry at church. Shayla is also a leader among our youth ministry. As a cross country'team captain, she also leads with integrity and positivity. Her impeccable character is attributed to her relationship with Christ, and the way His life is evident in hers. Ihave seen Shayla meet difficulties on the cross country course with tenacity. She doesn't make excuses, but instead finds ways to improve and better herself before each race. This work ethic is contagious, as it fuels the rest of the team to meet challenges in this manner as well. Shayla also balances her life in areas of school, work, sports and church - excelling at them all. She is responsible, and takes her role in various areas of her life very intently, which makes her a welcome addition to any program or position. Lastly, Shayla is a positive person. She always has a smile on her face, and genuinely wants that positivity to be felt by all. | have witnessed this firsthand many times. At one of her cross country races, she didn't finish the way she expected, but instead of being down on herself and making excuses, she smiled and began thinking about the next race. That positivity led her to drop her time and set her on a trajectory of success for the rest of the season. Her positivity is an asset to her skill set that any employer or project manager would be delighted to have. In conclusion, | give my full recommendation with glowing praise to Shayla Conley, Oe — ~Wo2N DeGroot Senior Pastor First Baptist Siloam Springs
