Recommendation Letter (Abbie Proud)
To whom it may concern:
I have known and taught Haram (Henry) Kweon since 2017, when he began
attending the school that I work at. I have taught him in three different classes – Geometry,
Algebra 2, and now in AP Calculus. In the time that I have known Henry, I have found him to
be a young man of great character, and I have seen him grow and thrive in ways that I
honestly did not expect.
You see, when Henry transferred to our English language school, his ability to speak
and understand English was relatively low, and as a result, he faced many complications. In
my experience, most students in this situation end up leaving after a short time because
they cannot keep up with the academic rigor due to language difficulties. However, Henry is
an exception. He has not only survived at our school, he has thrived, especially in my math
classes where he almost always earns top grades. Though transferring to our school
presented him with some very big challenges, Henry did not allow himself to be overcome
by them, which I believe speaks more to his character than anything else.
Beyond that, Henry is also someone who is communicative, compassionate, and
hard-working. As a student, I have found that Henry is humble enough to recognize his own
weaknesses, and he is not afraid to ask for help when he knows he needs it. Conversely, I
have also seen that he is quick to lend a helping hand when he sees a classmate in need.
Henry is a patient and willing teacher, and I appreciate his ability to explain things to
students who may be struggling in my class. While Henry generally makes schoolwork look
easy, I know that he puts in many, many hours behind the scenes to make sure he is
understanding the material properly and thoroughly. His drive to succeed and careful
attention to detail will take him far in life!
Because he has lived in a dorm throughout his high school career, Henry is also more
responsible, mature, and independent than many of his peers. This experience has also
given him a unique cross-culture understanding as he has lived in close quarter with his
Brazilian dorm parents and roommates and dorm brothers from a variety of cultures and
backgrounds. His ability to speak multiple languages as a result of living internationally for a
large part of his life will further benefit him in his future endeavours.
Henry is a person who does not give up when faced with challenges, and I have never
known him to give less than his best in any situation. It is because of this that I gladly
recommend to you Haram (Henry) Kweon, as I believe he would be an asset to any
institution. Thank you for your consideration.
