I had to share. My youngest son is trying to get into a magnet school for the rest of high school. This is one of the letters of recommendation that was written for him. I was set to burst my buttons I'm so proud. Silly I know but I had to tell someone!!

To whom it may concern:
I am writing this communiqué as recommendation for Duston XXXXXXX to receive admittance into your high school. I have known Duston for three years as a mentor and head football coach. He has been an exemplary young man with excellent vision for his future and self-discipline. Character traits such as dependability, integrity, leadership, and good stewardship are all encompassed in his personality. Duston is a well balanced young man whose social skills are on par with his academic prowess as well as his athletic ability. In the classroom, he is a tireless worker, achieving grades on level with the upper echelon learners in all of St. Louis City.
Duston always been well liked by his peers. He consistently shows leadership in the hallways as well as the classroom. Athletically, his future is also bright. Over my twelve year coaching career, he is the only freshman that I have started at the quarterback position. Beyond his physical gifts, such intangibles as command of the huddle, knowledge of the system, knowledge of defensives, and competitive vigor are assets that set him apart from the average over-achiever on the football field.
It is with no reserve that I recommend Duston Ballard for admittance into your school. I believe with full confidence that he will be set apart from the masses and blaze a trail of future greatness for himself and others.
Thank you,
