December  14,  2011        LETTER  OF  RECOMMENDATION  FOR  CARRIE  LEHOCKY        Carrie  Lehocky  has  been  a  student  of  mine  at  Hope  College  for  the  past  four  years.    She  is  a  gifted  teacher  with  many  talents  to  make  your  physical  education/health  program  a  better  one.    Carrie  is  an  energetic,  hard  working,  and  dedicated  individual.        Carrie  participated  on  the  Hope  College  volleyball  team  for  four  years.    She  was  an  inspiration  to  her  team.    Her  playing  time  was  very  limited,  but  her  enthusiasm  and  support  for  her  teammates  and  coach  was  remarkable.    I  personally  admire  Carrie’s  ability  to  possess  good  energy  and  a  positive  attitude  about  life.    She  is  one  of  those  people  who  brightens  a  room  when  she  enters.        Carrie  is  hard  working.    She  was  able  to  juggle  a  varsity  college  sport,  her  class  work,  a  job  in  the  kinesiology  office,  and  still  remain  on  top  of  her  tasks.    Her  attendance  in  my  class  was  perfect  and  she  always  turned  in  quality  work.    Her  grade  point  is  reflective  of  what  a  conscientious  student  Carrie  was.        Carrie  is  dedicated  and  will  rise  to  the  occasion  to  make  herself  the  best  teacher  she  can  be.    She  feels  called  to  teach  and  I  believe  she  has  a  gift.    I  have  been  in  education  for  over  25  years  and  I  truly  believe  that  some  students  are  born  to  teach.    Carrie  is  one  of  them.    She  will  make  all  of  her  students  feel  important  and  valued.      It  is  without  any  reservation  that  I  recommend  Carrie  Lehocky  for  a  teaching  position.    If  I  can  provide  any  additional  information,  please  feel  free  to  contact  me  by  email  at  kamstra@hope.edu  or  telephone  me  at  616-­‐395-­‐7701.    Sincerely,          Nancy  Kamstra  Associate  Professor
