    I have known Sun Jin Lee for five years as her Drama and Speech teacher in 8th grade and her US History and AP Environmental Science teacher in 11th grade.

Using my twelve years of classroom teaching as a baseline, I can easily place Sun Jin in the top 1% of students I have taught.

Sun Jin averaged 96% in my US History class, wrote multiple historical analysis essays that received a score of 100% and received a 4 in AP US History and AP US Government and Politics.…
