I am writing to you today In regards to my former student, Malik Robinson. It is with great pleasure when I say that I believe Mr. Robinson obtains all the necessary skills needed to succeed at the next level. I was Initially Impressed with his abilities to complete objectives efficiently and also, quickly. He has excelled at any task or assignment thrown his way and I strongly believe he is ready for the college level. Since having Malik as one of my students he has consistently maintained an A average in my class and I genuinely trust that he will accomplish many great things at your alma mater given the opportunity.
Malik handles work under pressure and staying prepared exceedingly well. Anytime he is given an assignment he completes it before everyone else and when I give out a pop quiz he is always prepared and never taken by surprise that one is being given. He always has his supplies ready to begin class accordingly. Though he is very bright he never takes it for granted nor does he attempt to act better than everyone else. He always encourages his peers and offers help we needed. In the past year I’ve seen him do so many positive things for the school and his peers that has greatly impacted our school in the best way possible. Any college would be lucky to have such a commendable, caring and hardworking student and I ensure you that you’re getting just that in Malik.

I profoundly recommend Malik for your alma mater and hope to see him enrolled their next fall. I encourage you to contact me with any information you may have concerning
Attending Purdue allow him to get higher education, something that most African American did not have. He attended it at a very young age which is even more impressive. His mind for engineering and math grew was developed even more. I learned from this that when you followed your passion, it could take you anywhere. If he did not get higher education, he would not have been such a genius and he would not have his dream job. The most impressive thing about Crosthwait to me is how hardworking he is. He was so hardworking that he got a grant for college at around 11 and the graduate at 15 instead of dropping out. He has inspired me to hard work and follow my passion, to set an impossible goal and then achieve
other students. I think what is doing in his career with working with other students like he used
To the County High School Class of 2012: As you sit in front of me, I know what most of you are thinking at the moment. There are those who are already pondering about what life without high school will be like; those who are debating whether or not to tell your crush tonight about your whispers of adoration you’ve secretly held for four years; some simply want to get out of that ungodly chair, get that thing that isn’t really a diploma but only tells you when to pick up the thing, and then be the first one on the green bus to the grad party — you know who you are. And the rest, well, the rest aren’t even paying attention, you’re thinking, “Great, here comes one of the valedictorian speakers. Next up: a boring speech straight out of the pits of scholarly hell.” And it’s OK, I don’t mind — that sort of thing comes with the territory. But tonight, I ask that you give me a chance to break that stereotype so that I may address you in the full splendor that you deserve after 13 grueling years of work. I do not want to be known as your “valedictorian” as I stand here, c’mon guys, there is no time left to place labels on people anymore, instead I ask that you accept me as one of your peers — and as a man who will enjoy becoming a graduate alongside you.
“As an athlete he’s dropped his 200-meter and hurdle times. He’s become a leader on the track and he’s matured in the classroom. He’s really become an all-around student athlete, and the face you’d want for your organization.”
Good evening. Some of you out there may not realize this but those of you who attended Suntime Middle School have been with this guy for the last seven years. I would like to ask you all, not just Suntime Middle School grads and who all else, to join me in thanking Mr. Weather for his patience and dedication to the success of our education over the years. We are the Class of 2000. The first graduating class of the new millennium. The past four years have been pretty wild. We started out as a bunch of rats in a small cage, but as time went by we learned and matured and became big rats in a new small cage, but in any case, the cage door is now opening; the handlers turning us wild things loose. As we leave "Where the Wild Things Are," home to some of the best cat fights, fist fights and food fights this side of the Cascades, I have a little surprise for all of you sitting in front of me here tonight in your caps and gowns … we ain’t seen nothing yet!
Micah Harris was a man who was no stranger to success. A 2001 Poland graduate who was a gifted athlete and a brilliant student, Harris did not let his accomplishments go to his head. He remained humble and used his talents to uplift others. Harris’s philosophy has certainly impacted my life in my strive for success. I myself have also always believed that it is important to remain true to oneself once you have achieved success. I have done my best to conduct myself with humility and remain respectful and compassionate towards others when I achieved success both on the field and in the classroom.
I would like to write this letter of recommendation for Cody Brown to support his application for graduate study.
When I was chosen to speak tonight, I thought that as a track athlete it would be appropriate to compare life to a race. Life is a race, a race to each milestone in our lives.
A boy once approached Socrates with the desire to obtain wisdom. Without saying a word, Socrates led the boy down to the edge of the sea and walked in, beckoning him to follow. When they were standing waist deep in the water, Socrates pushed the boy down, completely submerging his head. He held him thus for a couple of minutes, until the boy was almost to the point of death, before letting him up. Sputtering and angry, the boy demanded to know why Socrates had held him underwater for so long. In response, Socrates asked, "when you were under the water, what did you want more than anything in the world?"
Would be happy he got the job but could become discouraged if students don’t want to take his class.
I did not get to know many of you. So, I cannot be certain of how you feel, but, as for me, this year has been, by far, the most enjoyable and eye opening one of my high school career. Enjoyable because of the new, interesting friends I've made and of the fun times I've had, and eye opening because of my being forced to look towards the future. Not just day dreaming and imagining about the rest of my life, but finally having to sit down and make some definite decisions concerning it. For me and many of you, colleges have had to be applied for and decided on and scholarships filled out. Some of you have been looking into vocational schools or the military, while others will be going straight into the work force. Whatever your case may be, we've all had one thing in common in that we've been planning for our futures. Since the decisions we make now or soon will impact the rest of our lives, I'd like to take this time to share some advice with you all.
I am fully aware that yours curriculum requires that I summon all my resources and I aver that I have the necessary commitment, intelligence and stamina to look forward to do it all. I believe that my experience of working on various projects coupled with my professional working ethics will not let your expectations down. I am convinced that my study at your department would be meaningful and rewarding experience to achieve my objective of life. I look forward to have a long and profitable association with your esteemed college. I especially thank you for giving me the opportunity to express about myself.
T.S. Eliot once wrote, "What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from." Every landmark in our lives will end but there is always a beginning to an end. As each new path ends a new one begins. Graduation marks the end of a path but as it ends a new path begins.
Ok, its 12:15 and I just walked into my house from seeing a movie with three of my best friends and I have to write this speech. A speech that’s suppose to inspire all of you, and tell you how the future has so much to hold for the class of 2015, how the possibilities are endless. Right now I’m probably standing in the front of the class and supposed to be addressing all of you as “fellow graduates, or to the class of 15’”. But that’s not what I’m going to do. I put this off as I do with the majority of my work thinking I would just write something everyone expects to hear, but instead I wrote this.
High school. I never realized it would bring so many changes. As I walked on to campus my freshman year, my mindset was the same as it was in eighth grade; the young are invincible. And although I was excited to come to high school I had many fears. Would the classes be too hard, would I make new friends, what could I become involved in, and most of all -- what if I get lost? All of these fears eventually subsided and I, along with all of you, found the right classes and the right teachers. We all made new friends. We all got involved in something. During my freshman year, innocence surrounded me and although eventually my shell would crack, not until this year have I broken through. This year I decided that it is time to soar on my own. Graduation is the beginning of a new flight for all of us, the class of 1997.
