YES! This is exactly the advice that I needed. I started to write what Erica had described including "asset to her community." It just seemed shallow and not specific enough. I figured that I could find some help on GC.
I think that I am on the right path. I have a copy of her activities and awards. I know her academic and career goals. She has a very clear vision of what she wants to do in college.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate all of your suggestions. I'll be writing this letter tomorrow so there's still time to help if you have anything to contribute.
