To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written on behalf of Destiny Williams. I was fortunate enough to have Destiny in my Leadership class this past Fall Trimester. She is an honest, thoughtful, and intelligent person with a promising future ahead of her. Destiny is a driven and intrinsically motivated person. Normally, during a high school student’s career, they are beginning to form their opinions on various issues, however, Destiny has a clear vision for her future and the person she intends to be. Destiny has grown into a confident young lady that is determined to succeed in the next phase of her education and the field of psychology.
One of Destiny’s greatest attributes is her confidence. Everyday, I have phenomenal students walk into my classroom, but Destiny stands out because of her drive and consideration of others. Unfortunately, many people doubt our young people’s character today. However, I wish that those skeptics could spend five minutes with Destiny. They would see a young woman who is respectful, well-spoken, and a young woman that quite simply wants to help people. Throughout Destiny’s high school career she has acted on these attributes through her involvement in SADD, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, while receiving honor roll status. She also has worked part time at a restaurant, while maintaining a 3.17 GPA. Destiny has many strengths, however I think her greatest strength is her maturity. At the beginning of the Leadership class, Destiny was brave enough to share her “stage fright” issues with me. In spite of her fear, she came to class every day and worked at chipping away at that fear of speaking in front of others. By the end of the trimester, it was apparent to the class and myself that Destiny had overcome her fear. When I think of Destiny, the following quote comes to mind. “It’s OK to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.” (Mandy Hale)
