To whom it may concern: My name is Brett Mayhan, and I am a teacher at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology. I am writing now to offer my recommendation for Areeba Basaria in her application for the Georgia Engineering Foundation scholarship. Miss Basaria has proven herself to be a diligent and talented student as well as a community leader, and I wholeheartedly endorse her for this award. I have known Miss Basaria since the Fall semester of 2021, when she was a student in my World Literature class. Amiable and extroverted, Miss Basaria quickly established herself as a leader in the classroom, actively participating in classroom discussions and leading small-group activities. I observed her developing fluency in analytical reading and argumentative writing, and she conferred with me frequently regarding her academic progress as well as her struggles. It was also during this time that Miss Basaria was experiencing success in our school's science fair, in which her project won second place (a significant achievement at a school like ours). Miss Basaria's academic and leadership achievements continued throughout her high-school career. She was nominated for the Governor's Honors Program for both Art and Biology, and she was selected for the Emory University Pre-College Program. She was an active member of several organizations at our high school, including two national honor societies, and she was elected vice president of our student council, an important and prestigious organization at our school. Even though I did not teach Miss Basaria again after her sophomore year, she stayed in touch with me regularly and kept me informed of her interests, activities, and achievements at school. It was through these updates that I learned of how her leadership extended beyond the school, as she served as a peer leader in her religious community. Miss Basaria has demonstrated interest, aptitude, and achievement in a variety of subject areas, and now that she has selected engineering as an academic and career focus, I am confident that she will meet and exceed the expectations of the Georgia Engineering Foundation. I confidently recommend Areeba Basaria for this scholarship. Sincerely, Brett Mayhan, Ph.D.
