hey I have written a recommendation letter for me ...Pls give me your feedback on it. Also pls correct any grammatical mistakes...thanx in advance
Dear selection committee,
I am writing this letter to give my highest possible recommendation for Namia Akhtar. I haveknow Namia as a student in my A' level economics class. At our first meeting, I describedthe general outline of the course, and the effort she would have to put ins that she has to put on to achieve good grades. She asked intelligentgood questions and appeared intelligent. On our second meeting, Namia came up to me with questions she had solved from past test papers.solving some questions from the past test papers. She did this independently- I did not ask herto do this. I was overwhelmed by her motivation and sovereignty. She is among the best students out of my ten years of teaching.
Namia studied under difficult family circumstance, being that her father is a bed patient, and her mother takes care of the family by herself. with her father being a bed patient, and her mother having to look upon the family. Yet with these difficulties, she managed to receive full tuition merit scholarship from maple leaf international school for her outstanding O' level result to complete A' level. Despite her father's death a few weeks before her first sitting A' level exam she maintained (what does this mean??)AB with an overall A' level result of (what does this mean??)AAB. Her class performance was always "A", had she not suffered this loss, she would have attained an A in my class."A."
Namia always has a smile and a salaam for me and every other teacher, and she has and has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages. She has also helped juniors with studies, many of whom have commented on her pleasant as well as encouraging attitude.She had also helped her juniors with studies many of who have taken time to share their comments with me regarding her pleasant and encouraging attitude. Apart from being a good student, Namia has a strong sense of time management. She has never been late to class, nor has she ever handed in an assignment late
Namia has a good track in community service involvements and since November last year she has been volunteering in Jaago Foundation as a teaching assistant. In addition, also excels in and extracurricular activities. Her works were exhibited in Shilpakala Academy twice (October 2009 and July 2010) and last year, she received third prize in the national short film and documentary festival in photography. She also received awards for her talents in music, recitation and acting.
While a student at Maple leaf International School, Namia has always challenged herself academically. She is an active participant in class discussions, and grasps material quickly. She has superb written and verbal skills that are a pleasure for any teacher to encounter. As a professor I greatly appreciate such an energetic and inquisitive, diligent and clever student. When she told me her desire to study abroad, I expressed full support and encouraged her to work hard for her goal. As a professor of economics, I hereby recommend her to you without reservation that she will bring your university a new refreshing atmosphere. I hope you will lend her a helping hand with her application. If you have any further questions with regard to her background or qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me.

my teacher told me to write it myself...anyway thanx
Pls correct the last two paragraphs....My recommendation is due tomorrow
I'm sorry, I think it's very good. However, it's very irresponsible of your teacher to make you do it. What is her problem?
lacks proficiency in english...it's not his fault, English is not our native language
this is unethical. you can not write your own recommendation letter
You would be so surprised to learn how often that happens. For one thing, teachers do not want to sit and write letters for all their students. It would be nice if they did, but they don't have time.
Actually, writing your own letter of rec. is a good introspective experience. Plus, the teacher can change it in any way s/he wants to make it accurate.
I'm sorry I did not comment on it in time for your deadline! I'm glad you got all this great help, though. :-)
I think it's good for students to write their own recommendation letters even though it adds an extra headache. My economics teacher hardly knows me, but he knows I graduated in the top 2 from my high school. What could he possibly comment apart from solidifying my transcript?
Beside even if he had known me closely4 a while, he would have still asked me to write it since he is a BUSY professor. He also teaches in an university. More importantly, he doesn't have sufficient English skills to write a Recommendation letter. Our native language in not English, it's Bengali.
Fortunately, my friend's mom happens2b the O' Level English teacher in our school. she corrected the first two paragraphs and suggested me on re-writing. According to her the letter is mediocre. I re-wrote the whole thing & it was approved. Well, I wanted2 get my application package posted by yesterday, but unfortunately it didn't happen so I'm getting my rec signed 2morow.
