Life is difficult, school is to, but as I end my senior year I am realizing these last four years have shaped me into the person I am today. High school has taught me how to look at a problem and find a solution.

It has made me realize that as long as I’m trying my best, I can be whatever I choose to become. Math is a subject I love very much, school has shown me this. That is why I have decided to become an engineer. After high school I will be attending Lamar University in Beaumont, in hopes of acheiving this goal. I look forward to the next 4 years of my life hoping to explore new things and just making the best out of life.

To Whom It May Concern: I have had the pleasure of being Kiara Lee Sagardia Spanish teacher for the past year at Conroe High School. I have found her to be a delightful young lady with many wonderful qualities. She is very hardworking and well-liked by her peers for both her sense of humor and ability to listen. She is always actively participating in class lessons and seems eager to absorb more information.

She maintains excellent grades in her classes while remaining active in several different extracurricular activities. She has proven herself to be quite a mature and capable young lady.

Letters of Recomendation

I hope that Kiara is given every opportunity available to continue her pursuit of knowledge and to enrich her development as a person. I am sure that you will find Kiara to be an exceptional young lady a well-chosen recipient of your scholarship.

Sincerely,

SaraĂ­ Mastache Spanish Teacher Conroe High School
