To Whom It May Concern:

I’m very pleased to recommend Hannah Greenwood for acceptance of your Scholarship. As Hannah’s AP Biology
teacher and Biology teacher, I’ve had the excellent opportunity to observe her extraordinary intellectual and
behavioral attributes in the classroom over the years.

Hannah is a student that understands complex ideas and is able to break it down into simpler terms for her
classmates. She always leads by being a role model for students around her and is always doing the right thing
and following school rules. She remains issue-focused and solution-driven allowing for her to stay poised in
stressful situations.

She is very intelligent, motivated, and works very hard for her success. Her stability and maturity allows her
to gain insight to profit from any experience. In addition, she is eager to share newly acquired knowledge and
techniques from school and life experiences with those around her.

She is a young lady that has goals and knows how to achieve them. She is always polite, positive, and very
compassionate of others around her and has an uncanny way of adapting to all situations.

I consider myself lucky to have come across such a phenomenal young lady. There is no doubt in my mind she
cannot achieve success in any endeavor she chooses. As Hannah’s teacher, I implore you to select Hannah
Greenwood for acceptance of your Scholarship, as I will guarantee this will honor this unique scholar’s hard
work and dedication. Please call or write if I can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,
