To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Kristal Buck. Kristal has proven that through hard
work, follow though, and sincere effort, she can accomplish any task that she puts her mind to. I have
known Kristal for several years now and have watched her grow into a diligent, compassionate, and
caring individual. During the time that I have known her she has developed empathy, learned to show
respect to others, and has learned to challenge herself in a manner that has resulted in her increased ability
to consistently apply herself and do her best. Kristal has grown into an outstanding young adult in all
respects and will continue to succeed in her years ahead.
Kristal works very hard and diligently to achieve her goals, despite any set-backs that she may encounter.
I have witnessed Kristal challenge herself to improve her own situationbe it her school grades, her
personal and professional relationships with others, or as a motherand not accept any less from herself
than her own personal best. She is also well equipped to grow from challenges that she is presented with
in her day-to-day life. I have watched her display patience, compassion, and grace in situations that many
other individuals would have struggled with and in situations that would have resulted in many other
individuals giving up. Kristal has instead found new ways to tackle her challenges until she is satisfied
with the results and until she feels that she has successfully accomplished her goals.
I know first-hand that Kristal performs with composure in challenging situations. I have witnessed
Kristal handle herself with a poise, confidence, and maintain a friendly manner when interacting with
challenging individuals that sought to be hurtful and slandering to her. She has managed to be assertive in
these situations, while still stating her case with maturity, and while remaining respectful to the other
individuals involved despite their challenging behaviors. This can be a daunting task for individuals to
learn at any age, that Kristal has already accomplished this ability speaks greatly regarding her character.
In short, Kristals high caliber of character and unique life situations have set her well above others at her
level of education. I have faith in Kristals continued success throughout her life and have faith that she
will accomplish her goals, no matter how challenging they may appear to others.

Sincerely,

Alexandra Bodenhorn
