1. I am writing in recommendation of Grant Erhart. Grant was my student for two semesters,
and during that time he exhibited academic ability and ambition that showed me he had a
real interest in every aspect of business. For example, he worked tirelessly on his end of
semester business plan, required in both classes. Whether it was diligent research or
contacting me to submit ideas. As a result of his hard work, I noticed significant progress in
his writing, organization, and ability to convey his creativity.
Grant has also proven himself to be a very bright young man. During our discussions, he
often made interesting points that demonstrated his outstanding ability to think critically and
successfully analyze difficult material. The same critical thinking consistently appeared in his
written work, as well.
Therefore, I believe that this and the analytical skills he exhibited in the class demonstrated
his true academic potential, making him an excellent choice for you.
The quality that stood out the most for me was Grant's creative thinking. His presentation
improved vastly in the time that I taught him, but his outside the box thinking was something
that was there from the start. I believe that creativity coupled with Grant's academic ability
and determination makes him a worthy candidate. I appreciate your time and consideration
on his behalf.
