To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Maryam Adham. I am a high school Language Arts teacher with OSU’s K12Online program. I have gotten to know Maryam over the last year as she has taken four courses with me.

Maryam is a motivated young woman of many talents and considerable self-discipline. She is an outstanding writer – creative, thoughtful, and thorough. I have kept a number of her papers as examples to show future students what an "A" paper looks like. Her papers are both technically correct with few grammatical or spelling errors as well as they reflect an understanding and synthesis of the subject matter.

Through online discussions, Maryam has been quick to come to the aid of peers with questions regarding the class work. In one particular case, she mentored a peer through much of the class. In addition, she has actively participated in online forums where students discuss their belief systems. Maryam talks about her beliefs, values, and practices with a clarity that helps others better understand the Islamic perspective. Her peers appear to feel very comfortable in asking her to further answer their questions.

Maryam has been actively involved in both her Mousque and the local community. As a member of the Mousque, she has taught younger students in their Saturday School. Maryam has also taken part in community service and other activities which have benefited the local community. She is a positive model for her peers.

While a serious student, Maryam is also very likeable, personable, enthusiastic, trusting and trustworthy. She shares both her heart and her laughter with all whom she encounters.

I have no reservations in recommending Maryam for any position. She would be an asset to any program or job. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at *** *** ****.

Sincerely,

Denise M. Nkemontoh
