“As impressive as [Kate] is from an academic standpoint, I would be remiss if I did not comment on [her] character. [Kate] is honest and forthright and empathetic. A young [woman] of [her] intelligence and capabilities could easily monopolize any conversation, but [Kate] is careful to include and encourage [her] fellow classmates. Rather than fall victim to ego, [Kate] readily offers to help others and asks for help when needed. [She] feels a compelling sense of responsibility to find solutions to change the world for the better, and I have no doubt that [she] will do so.
