To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Ashlyn Gilberston who recently applied to
your program. I highly encourage you to consider his application as she is a unique student that
will add incredible potential and progress to your program. She is very self-sufficient and self
motivated which makes her presence in the class intuitive. She is a very even keeled individual
that will add a great academic presence to take on many different levels of academic intensities.
She is dependable and helpful to those around her.

I was fortunate enough to have Ashlyn for life science class. She completes her
academics in classes in the top tier for many of her studies which shows her commitment to
academics. She excelled well when asked to mentor fellow students in class. She led and
listened to her peers during group discussions and group work. I believe she has many
characteristics that are valuable and only has the potential for more growth.

Ashlyn has been involved in the East TN Volunteer Program which is highly involved in
the community. I know she also attends Bearden Young Life that supports her passion for her
faith. She has a passion for academics as she is in Honor Roll, National Junior Arts Society,
National Junior Arts Society Scholarships. I believe she will flourish in her field of study and be
an asset to any program!

I hold this student in the highest regard and would highly recommend her for any avenue she
wishes to pursue.

Thank you for your time!

Kind regards,

Alicia Boris
Bearden High School life science teacher
