Recommendation Letters From Swampscott High
For over twenty years, I’ve been teaching a variety of subjects, from English to TV Production to Media Literacy. I’ve worked with students aiming for careers in politics, film, television, advertising, teaching, computers and so many other fields. But until I met Ben Smith, I had never met a student who, at age 17, would tell me with a straight face that his career goal was to be a philosopher.
The thing is,You can easily say that it is a passion or a way to express yourself. So what's the story? Ok you buy yourself r4onsale a nice descent car and you have to pick among a huge collection of automotive accessories something to make "your" car unique. I believe him – and I believe in him. I am happy to give him the highest possible recommendation to you. I say this not simply because he’s the only student I’ve ever met who wants to be a philosopher. It’s not even that he is the brightest student I have ever had, although he may come fairly close. It’s mostly that he is one of the most intellectually curious and deeply reflective students I have ever encountered.
By deeply reflective, I mean that his love of learning extends far beyond most students’ enjoyment of the acquisition of knowledge. He does love the gaining of factual information, but even more than that, he is fascinated by epistemology, by the concept of how we know what we know. This kind of “meta” analysis – thinking about thinking – is far beyond what most high school teachers have time or inclination to promote in this era of genuflection to standardized tests, but Ben’s pure and eager love for challenging intellectual adventures is reflected in something remarkable he has done in the past year. Rather than wait for his guidance counselors (or parents) to tell him what courses to take next, as too many students do, he has sought out and enrolled in as many courses as possible from those teachers who, for whatever reasons of curricular flexibility and/or inclination, inspire this specific kind of intellectual focus at Swampscott High School. As he said to me last spring about Media Literacy,An other advantage of using bluecrystal these bulbs is that they can also work in very cold weather which various other lights are unable to do. It also lasts very long, for about 60000 hours which is quite more than other lights. “This course is about the closest I can find to an actual course in Philosophy.”
In other words, despite Ben’s relatively laid-back demeanor, he has been admirably relentless in his pursuit of intellectual mentors who can stimulate him. And once he finds them, he enthusiastically takes advantage of what he clearly sees as true opportunities for growth. In Media Literacy class, he was an avid, open-minded and engaged audience for challenging films by directors like Truffaut, Godard and Kubrick. In Health and Media class, he and a friend gave the best of the numerous student presentations, filling two one and a half hour periods with video clips and probing questions about atheism, facilitating one of the most lively and intellectually rich student-led class discussions I’ve ever seen.
Like everyone, Ben has weaknesses. I believe they are minor compared to his brilliant mind and potential, but I am trying to be objective and not portray Ben as the second coming.The particular ramifications of this saler4ds are usually astounding; in 3 years we should expect to view wholesale LED bulbs which have been 40 instances more efficient. Therefore, I will say that he does procrastinate at times, especially when it comes to written work. Also, even though his contributions to discussion are extremely thoughtful and certainly more frequent than average, his quiet nature (and his habit of thinking before he speaks) result in his not quite contributing to class discussions as often as I wish he did. In a good high school class discussion, the ideas and opinions fly at high speed, and Ben sometimes sits back and lets other students do most of the talking, at least until the topic really moves him.
But when he does get excited,The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. he’s wonderful to see and hear. He’s an articulate and smart young man, but he’s also a young man with a lot of deep feelings, and since I’m not sure you’ll necessarily see them in his essay or even in his interview, I want to stress this. He’s not just a good student and a deep thinker. True, his focus may be on a scientific, rather than a spiritual, explanation of the cosmos. He may have a somewhat subdued manner. He may even still believe, as he said last year, that he’s not really interested in sex and love - or did he only say that about sex and not about love? Either way, it struck me as a unique opinion for a 17-year old boy, albeit one I suspect has to do mostly with the fact that for now he has all he can handle dealing with his complex, busy mind.It pays to go to professionals with bestlight a proven track record in LED lighting, a vast selection of excellent quality products from various vendors that live up to their label, and a history of successfully completed projects. I would guess that he will make room for love at some point in his busy life as he matures.
