Brown University Box 1852 / 70 Brown Street Providence, RI 02912 www.brown edu/english January 4, 2018 To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to enthusiastically recommend the essay editing and writing skills of Ronnie Li. Ronnie was a student in two of the English Department courses for which I was the instructor at Brown University, ENGL 0180: “Introduction to Creative Nonfiction” in fall 2011 and ENGL 1200: “Independent Study in Nonfiction Writing” in spring 2012. Because of the small course sizes of 18 students and one student respectively, I have gotten to know Ronnie very well then and since his graduation from Brown , and I can say with certainty that he is a truly outstanding writer and editor. Ronnie produces unfailingly intelligent, extremely hard working, and carefully crafted writing that frequently made his papers the very best in my courses . Ronnie’s superb initiative and unfailing sense of responsibility are also demonstrated in his writing and in his outstanding interpersonal skills , where he is a tru e leader who is sensitive to all people and all perspectives. Outside the classroom, Ronnie is also a truly outs tanding, exceptional role model. During his time at Brown, Ronnie worke d with me on a book about his life . It is an extraordinary book that artfully tells the story of all that Ronnie has gone through to become the high - achieving person that he is. He is one of the most impressive students and people that I have met in my years teaching at the university level, and I cannot recommend him hig hly enough. I am confident that he would be an extraordinary benefit to any project requiring writing and editing.
