To whom this may concern:

I am pleased to write this letter on behalf of Andrea Ayala. Andrea has attended NOVA
Academy Early College High School for the past 4 years. I have had the pleasure of having Andrea as my student for the past year. I have had Andrea in a variety of courses which she has
been able to exemplify leadership skills, concern for others, intellectual curiosity, and maturity.

Over the past few years Andrea has exhibited leadership skills through her work in ASB
and a program we have on campus called Ambassadors. Andrea has been a part of ASB for the
last few years, where she is currently our ASB President. As President, Andrea is in charge of
running ASB meetings, attending School Site Council Meetings, facilitating Inter-Club Council
meetings, and doing the daily announcements. Andrea has also been an Ambassador at NOVA
Academy for the last 2 years, through this program she has been able to participate in community
outreach and recruitment for our school.

This year in my AP Government and Politics course she has demonstrated a great deal of
intellectual curiosity. Andreas study skills and work habits have vastly improved over the course
of the semester. When Andrea needs extra help, he is never afraid to ask for it. Andrea has also
been part of the UCI EOCP program for the past year, which I am the advisor of. Andrea
demonstrated that she was willing and capable to put in the effort, time, and handwork that it
would take to excel in these courses. Andrea through all of her hard work and determination has
been able to get an A in her coursework. This is no easy feat as it is a UC level courses and she is
still in high school.

As a person, Andrea is a kind, generous, and hardworking. As a student, Andrea is one of
the most honest and trustworthy that I have met thus far in my career.

I am confident that Andrea will make a great addition to any organization. I am very
proud of his perseverance and dedication to excellence.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Rashi Seth
