To Whom It May Concern:
In all my {number} years of teaching, I have only had a handful of students who I felt were meant for the Ivy League. {Name} is one of them.

I have had the pleasure of watching {Name} in a variety of challenging situations, including {example}, and they always navigate with skill and grace. Other students look to them for guidance. I truly cannot say enough about how impressive they are.
