Two years ago,
__________ was invited by _________ University Counseling Center to consult
to our Peer Counseling program. I was eager to have such an extraordinary

impressive in the United States. She was an eager, enthusiastic teacher
who was greatly admired by the Hopkins students. She led group discussions

desire to understand new theories and ideas. It is exciting to think of

carefully consider ________ who is, quite simply, the most remarkable teacher
I have ever met.
Sincerely,
