5. To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
I
am
Heysem
Askan,
a
Law
student
at
Yalova
University
in
Turkey.
I
have
met
Mr.
Fabrice
since
grade
9
in
high
school
at
Pan-­‐Asia
International
School.
He
was
our
homeroom
teacher,
on
the
previous
years
he
became
our
history
teacher
then
our
business
teacher
and
finally
he
was
our
Theory
of
Knowledge
teacher.
As
you
can
see
that
the
subjects
he
thought
were
not
the
most
fun
and
exciting
subjects
in
the
curriculum
but
he
always
had
a
way
of
making
those
subjects
interesting
so
that
people
actually
paid
attention
and
put
effort
in
his
classes,
he
taught
it
“differently”,
he
made
sure
everyone
was
involved
in
the
subject
by
asking
us
to
make
movies,
presentations,
postcards
and
etc…
Mr.
Fabrice
had
a
different
point
of
view
for
teaching,
not
only
he
taught
the
subject
but
he
also
taught
the
students
on
how
to
work
as
a
team
and
how
to
deal
with
people
in
real
life.
In
business
lessons
he
took
care
that
the
examples
that
were
used
were
from
real
life
situations,
he
made
sure
we
were
prepared
for
the
real
life.
He
thought
us
how
to
discuss
any
subject
without
disrespecting
each
other.
He
cared
for
us
individually
very
carefully
and
followed
up
with
each
and
every
one
of
us
during
our
university
entrance
time.
He
really
is
a
great
professional
with
a
habit
of
doing
things
differently
and
more
creatively
then
the
rest
of
the
people.
I
am
sure
he
will
be
a
great
addition
to
your
team.

6. To Whom It May Concern:
The first time I got my grade in 9th grade, after having the School’s newest
teacher and seeing my comment; I got scared. The reason was because the teacher
not just praised about me, but pointed out a specific problem I was having in class.
Hence, I studied in a different cultural school; no one was able to identify it.
However, my teacher saw my attitude against the opposite gender was rough. That
day and today, I have learned to understand and know that I do have some
weaknesses and I have to deal with them to get around in the world.
Mr.Fabrice Vanegas is not only my business teacher, theory of knowledge teacher,
and history teacher. He was and is my mentor. I have learned a lot and have faced a
lot of difficult times. I had to specific moments in my life I could not deal with and
Mr. Fabrice pushed me. I did not like it much because it was beyond my comfort
zone.
The reason I am stating these things is that, it is extremely rare to find a
teacher like this in society today, where they would go beyond the capabilities of
just being and educator at school and spending there summer vacation and a few
weekends and holidays organizing workshops to help the students in the school to
have a better and bright future. Mr. Fabrice, is a person who would find a way if
there is no solution to a problem. Which truly is how an entrepreneur would go as
about their investment.
I can write pages about describing would Mr. Fabrice has done to help me
become a successful student and just not a student but a better person in general.
Mr. Fabrice, just does not look at students as people just come and go, but he takes
interest and makes an investment on each student, no matter if he has to go beyond
his capabilities. A finial example is a couple of my classmates did not have much
interest in learning. However, the techniques Mr. Fabrice used in class, through
media and advanced technology. A lot of students including myself were able to
discover the creativity in them and are pursuing in the media industry. If you have
any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. I believe
Mr. Fabrice is a great person and will be a great team member.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Fabrice Vanegas. He had
been my High School business teacher since grade 9 until grade 12, and also my
homeroom teacher in grade 9 and grade 10. I can state with confidence that he is a
responsible, motivated, and generous person. As such, he will be a very positive addition
to your institution.
Mr. Fabrice always involved his students to explore new experiences, and also in many
extra-curricular activities. It gave me as a student to experience a great opportunity, such
as taking part an event with UNESCO. His uniqueness and effort towards his work is
excellent. He really opened me to the new concept of learning that it will be benefit for
my future such as using technologies these days by creating our own movies and music
videos to learn business. Not only teaching us, but he also concerned about his students
and he is always been there for us. He is willing to help his students in every way to make
his students success, and I admired him for it, because not many teachers will care about
the students individually and willing to help us all the time.
His role requires strong communication skills, and he has shown that he not only has
these skills, but that he also has the ability to cooperate with other teachers and the staffs
in the school. Based on my observation, I can see his enthusiasm on this job. Therefore, I
recommend him to your institution. I sincerely hope that you give his application
favorable consideration. If you need any further information about Mr. Fabrice Vanegas,
please do not hesitate to contact me at sara.sretsis@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Sara Al-Salhi
