The pastor writes a letter of recommendation for Ms. Charell Elliot, who is applying for a scholarship. He has known Ms. Elliot for three and a half years as a congregant and sees that she is eager to learn and help others improve. The pastor believes that Ms. Elliot's life experiences and faith will enable her to achieve her goal of becoming an attorney through her focus, tenacity, and drive. The pastor also notes that few women in the area are attempting this goal but many cannot continue without financial assistance, so the scholarship would help Ms. Elliot achieve her dream.
