To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter to recommend Riley Burdette for the Georgia Engineering Foundation Scholarship. As Riley’s teacher and tennis coach for multiple years in high school, I had the privilege of witnessing her exceptional qualities both in the classroom and on the court. Riley was an intelligent, driven, and compassionate student who demonstrated an impressive commitment to her academic and extracurricular pursuits. Riley's commitment to her education was clear throughout the three years I taught her in math. Her relentless drive for academic excellence earned her the title of valedictorian, a goal she pursued with focus and determination. Riley consistently sought to not only master material but deeply understand it, often going beyond expectations. Her perseverance, curiosity, and disciplined work ethic, balanced with her extracurricular commitments, are truly inspiring. I am confident this dedication will continue to serve her well in all her future endeavors. Outside the classroom, I have had the pleasure of coaching Riley in tennis for four years. When she first joined the team, she had no prior experience in the sport, having focused on softball in her younger years. However, Riley's determination to improve was remarkable. Every day at practice, she sought to learn something new, always striving to perfect her technique. Even during her senior year, she continuously asked for feedback and took critiques well, using them to drive her growth. Riley’s ability to take constructive criticism, even when it was tough, and turn it into motivation to improve is a rare and admirable quality. Riley was highly involved in leadership roles during her time at Ringgold High School. She served as Vice President of the National Honor Society and Vice President of the Environmental Club where she took on significant responsibilities, organized multiple school- wide events, and inspired her peers to take part in meaningful activities within the school and the community. Additionally, Riley was an active member of Beta Club, where her dedication to service in the community was clear. Her ability to balance her academic responsibilities with her extracurricular commitments speaks to her impressive time management and leadership skills In closing, I strongly recommend Riley Burdette for the Georgia Engineering Foundation Scholarship. Her character, leadership, and commitment to improving her school and community make her an outstanding candidate. I have no doubt that she will represent the scholarship and the field of engineering with the same excellence, integrity, and determination that she has shown throughout her academic career. Sincerely, Jake Pullen Math Teacher Ringgold High School
