"Samantha is a very respectful and motivated student who works persistently toaccomplish her goals. She eagerly accepts challenges and is motivated to succeed. She alwayshas a positive attitude. She possesses a great deal of maturity, and is respected by her peers andfaculty. Samantha’s performance in my classes was consistently outstanding both academicallyand socially.
