I am delighted to recommend Paul Mathews, a highly intelligent and studious young man, for the National Honor Society. I have known Paul in my Mandarin 3 class since Fall 2017. In my class, Paul participated in all the sessions and was very active in taking part in group activities and projects. As a result, he consistently received exceptional grades on his homework and tests. As a highly motivated student, Paul is taking four AP level courses at the same time this semester. His ability of maintaining good grades for all the courses has demonstrated his brilliance and excellent time management skills. Because of his great interests in both Chinese and Indian culture, Paul has equipped himself with a global vision who respects culture differences
