To Whom It May Concern: When calling to mind the multiple students who I have had the pleasure of teaching over the last twenty-five years, only a few have truly left a lasting impression. One student who falls into this category is Ruhee Merchant. I had the distinct honor of having Ruhee as a student during the 2020-2021 school year at Parkview High School. Ruhee is a very mature and independent individual who strives endlessly for excellence. I witnessed this characteristic while working with Ruhee in my Gifted Junior American Literature class. As her teacher, I observed Ruhee to be one of the most studious and curious students who exhibits traits of a life-long learner. Through my experience with Ruhee, and through our interactions, I became aware of why she is an outstanding student and an exceptional human being. Ruhee is a very dedicated individual who has a strong desire to be successful. She has many noteworthy characteristics that make her a great student. For instance, she is very punctual, organized, resourceful, and she is focused; however, her greatest attributes are her ambition and her desire to learn. Ruhee attempts all tasks with the expectation that she will submit a product that will not fall short of perfection. Ruhee is aware of her strengths and weaknesses, and she searches tirelessly for methods to improve. I witnessed this behavior on several occasions when Ruhee worked on assignments in my class. For example, when writing essays, Ruhee worked endlessly to produce the best essay that she could. In order to meet her high expectations, Ruhee sought out feedback and suggestions from other teachers and students in an attempt to reach a final product that met her standards. In addition to her exemplary work ethic and determination, Ruhee faces all challenges with bravery, and she works endlessly to conquer all trials and obtain success. Ruhee’s ambitious nature was not only evident in my class, but it was apparent in her course selection and involvement in extra-curricular activities as well. Ruhee’s course selection in high school includes some of the most challenging and rigorous academic courses available. In addition to this high achievement, Ruhee has earned numerous academic awards, which include outstanding achievement in math, science, and language arts. Ruhee’s dedication to her academics and her involvement in extra-curricular activities have truly given her the distinct ability to think critically, evaluate, and make sound decisions when encountering challenging situations. All of these traits will certainly be useful as she pursues her dreams in her chosen field of study. Ruhee holds high expectations and never settles for the status quo. Hard work and dedication are two attributes that she demonstrates through her commendable work ethic. Her passion for learning and her intrinsic drive for success are two characteristics that make Ruhee such an admirable student. Her ambition stems from her heart rather than any external element, which is by far her best quality. Additionally, she is mature, compassionate, and responsible. Socially, she seeks to gain membership in worthwhile activities and organizations that have purpose and will help others. Finally, Ruhee handles all situations with integrity and reliability, and she demonstrates respect and understanding toward the ideas and feelings of others. Ruhee Merchant is truly an unforgettable student who is bound for greatness. She has many characteristics that set her apart from her peers. To exemplify this point, Ruhee can speak Hindi, Urdu, and Spanish at a conversational level. Furthermore, she is resilient and able to persevere in the most difficult situations. These two elements demonstrate Ruhee’s ability to use her talents, ambition, and persistence to overcome adversity and to achieve success. Ruhee is very deserving of any opportunity available to her, and she will complete any obligation associated with the experience to the best of her ability and without fail. It is for these reasons, and those mentioned above, that I feel Ruhee Merchant is a worthy recipient of the Georgia Engineering Foundation Scholarship.
