分：第二段 阐述课外活动

Besides her academic activities, I also attracted by her social activities and

capabilities(总). She did great job as chairwoman of the student union committee on two large events campus wide. I was so surprised that this innocent girl could even persuade the sophisticated business leaders to sponsor the events. What was more surprising was that so many volunteers would follow her in the events.

Moreover, I called her a leader because I manifested that she led the schoolmates out of the ego self to a grand self, to contribute to the social welfare.She was usually good at motivating people. Miss## launched a volunteer program to teach in the School for Blind of ××. Despite pressure from huge academic assignments and tremendous campus activities, ××persisted to lead the volunteer program and to teach the blind teenagers herself for two years. I asked her what buttress her hard work on this project. She said that it was the emotion to share knowledge and the zeal to illuminate the dark world.

总：

All the observation on ×× in closeness leads to the conclusion that she is both a candidate qualified for your graduate program towards a higher degree and a citizen that will impact the communities in neighborhood with knowledge and enthusiasm. If you need more information concerning her, please contact me freely.

Sincerely,

XXXXXX
