002a hardworking and dedicated math student. I have had the pleasure of teaching him the past four years and I have seen tremendous growth from him.

Mr. Senate wrote, "Angel is a hardworking, dedicated student and he exemplifies a trait which I think only the very best students have. The best students are curious and inquis in inquisitive." Vincent Van Go once wrote in a letter to a fellow painter, "I am always doing that which I cannot do in order that I may learn how to do it." That is the attitude with which Angel goes through life, unafraid to try new things, undaunted by challenges that put him out of his comfort zone, unfaced by

003life's many twists and turns. I worry about many students who graduate and leave our halls, but I do not worry about Angel. I could give no greater compliment.
