Nice recommendation

E recently asked her English teacher for a recommendation to include in her application for a scholarship toward her Japanese trip this summer. Not sure whether she'll get any money, but if she doesn't it isn't because the recommendation wasn't glowing.

"... she is very open-minded. She seems to have a way to talk to EVERYONE; and while she is extremely smart, she is neither condescending nor judgmental. She has a good sense of humor (which is a must if you plan to study another culture) and she is probably one of my most 'world savvy' students. And by savvy I mean she keeps up to date on the world around her. Locally, nationally and globally she knows exactly what is happening and why. Furthermore, she has a well formed opinion that always appears to be based upon careful listening and observation. She also has a great deal of respect for other students that is reflected in her ability to 'work well with others.'"
