To whom it may concern:
My name is Jay Hohenstein and I have had the pleasure of being Evan's teacher for the past three years, first as his middle school social studies teacher and since as his homeroom teacher. I believe that I have a special perspective concerning Evan and his development into a very fine young man.
Evan has a disability that would discourage most kids from striving for their goals. Evan refuses to be discouraged. Though he has been supported by a loving family and professionals at school, the driving force for Evan's maturation has been his own determination and energy. Evan loves to participate in sports and interact with his peers. He is accepted and embraced by the student body, who nominated him for sno-daze royalty this winter. Evan has a vested interest in pursuing his education, even though his disability would make it very easy for him to give up.
I am an unabashed fan of Evan's. My uncle, my personal hero, was disabled and discouraged in his youth from pursuing his dreams. I see the same qualities in Evan. I do not know what the future holds for Evan, but I do believe that the qualities he possesses are exemplary. I think he would be a great Eagle Scout. For what it's worth, I also believe that Evan will cherish that honor more than your other candidates due to the dedication and energy he's invested in that pursuit. Thank you for your time and consideration of my input.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have known Evan Wilson for the past three years, both as Evan’s ninth grade physical science teacher and also as one of Evan’s wrestling coaches. He has always been cheerful and upbeat in all of my dealings with him.
In science class, Evan was a hard working and conscientious student. He always had his assignments completed and paid close attention to what was happening in the classroom and the science lab. When we were doing lab activities, Evan worked extremely well with his lab partners. He worked hard and carried his own share of the load.
In wrestling, Evan demonstrated the same willingness to work hard. He was always present at practices and participated in all of the drills and activities. When we set up for meets, Evan was always there. He did what was asked and required of him.
Among his peers, Evan is well liked and respected and he really knows how to have fun with the other wrestlers.
Evan is a fine young man! I commend him on his achievements and highly support him as an Eagle Scout candidate.
